... Read moreExperiencing pregnancy for the first time has been a truly transformative journey. Tracking the growth of my belly week by week—from 7 weeks up to 23 weeks—has not only helped me connect deeper with my baby but also allowed me to appreciate the amazing changes happening in my body. Each milestone, like reaching 12 weeks and then 20 weeks, brought new feelings and a stronger bond. Being a girl mom-to-be has added a special excitement to this journey. Sharing these moments during the second trimester, especially around 23 weeks, I noticed how my body started to show more visibly, which made the experience feel real and rewarding. For other first-time moms, I recommend embracing every moment and documenting your progress; it’s both empowering and reassuring. Throughout this time, I also learned about the importance of proper nutrition, gentle exercise, and regular prenatal check-ups to support both my health and the baby’s development. Connecting with other expectant mothers online or in support groups can offer valuable advice and emotional support. Ultimately, this ongoing journey is about growth, not just physically but emotionally, as we prepare to welcome a new life into the world.

Daphne just turned 7 months old…I’m still obsessed. We got her when she was just 2.9lbs 🥹 Although she’s grown, she still just as cuddly and cute. Thankfully, a little less crazy and a lot more well behaved 🥰 How big was your pup when you got them?? #dachshund #weinerdog #doxie

Watch my belly grow
I gained almost 50lbs during pregnancy and I really struggled with watching my body change. I wasn’t sick at all during my pregnancy and felt good a majority of the time which allowed me to continue exercising regularly. Despite working out regularly I still gained weight all over my body.

It’s crazy to watch the changes my body went through during pregnancy. I think overall I gained like 40+ pounds. Ngl most my weight was pasta. I craved pasta like nobody’s business and it didn’t matter what kind: fettuccine, linguine, penne, etc. On the other hand, I had an aversion to strawberries
