I am 11 weeks 4 days pregnant and weighed 160.4lbs this morning
Boy have I been gaining weight! Ive gained 4.4lbs as of this morning. I haven’t been eating right, so I know Im gaining some fat unfortunately. Yesterday evening I ran 3 miles and it felt good. Im hoping to have a longer run of 4-5 miles on Sunday night. I purchased a tummy support today. Im hoping it helps! It is much wider than the ones you can buy at maternity stores. I managed to snag it slightly used from a online pregnancy and parenting bulletin board so I didn’t have a choice of sizes. The size I got is called ‘universal’ its supposed to fit dress size 6-14. Hopefully it’ll fit. Before getting pregnant I was a 12/14 but I get SO big! Im hoping it will last me until my race on December second. Ill be 32 weeks pregnant so that will be a lot of tummy to support. These support belts run $50-75 so I really don’t want to have to buy a second one just for the last month or two. Perhaps I can make an extension if needed. Ill have to check it out once it comes in the mail. Mine is very similar to this one, which looks like a great deal at under 40 bucks!
This morning I think I felt the baby move. I was laying in bed on my back and I could feel this light ‘rolling’ almost inside of me. I just laid there for the longest time trying to figure out if I was actually feeling baby or something else. Im fairly sure it was actually baby! This is SO early to feel this though, with my boys I didn’t feel them until my second trimester, somewhere around 15-18 weeks!!
