Today I am 16 weeks 2 days and weighed 163lbs this morning. Im up over a pound from yesterday but oh my gosh I think its ALL baby related! My round ligaments in the front have been very tender all day. Every time I get up from a seated position they hurt! Usually its a very temporary pain, just a jolt if I move or twist too abruptly but today’s round ligament pain is a constant ache. I have a feeling tomorrow when I wake up my tummy will appear bigger! If you are experiencing this its totally normal. Its just a sign that your uterus is growing and that’s good! If you are pregnant and haven’t experienced this yet that’s fine too. You might be one of the lucky ones who dodges this pregnancy discomfort, just like some lucky ladies manage to dodge the morning sickness bullet! If you are concerned about it though it doesn’t hurt to bring it up to your pregnancy care provider.
The baby has been pretty quiet as of late. There were several days where I felt him or her everyday but its been really sporadic lately. But I got a good swift kick today, my first really strong kick where I was SURE it was the baby.
