Dates and numbers:
There are 31 days until your due date on August 27, 2008.
You are 249 days pregnant.
You are 8.2 months pregnant.
You are in your 9th month of pregnancy.
Your 1st trimester: November 21, 2007 to February 19, 2008. (0 - 12 weeks)
Your 2nd trimester: February 20, 2008 to June 03, 2008. (13 - 27 weeks)
Your 3rd trimester: June 04, 2008 to August 27, 2008. (28 - 40 weeks)
Your baby now weighs over 5.5 pounds and its crown-to-rump length is approximately 13.2 inches. Your baby's total length is around 20.25 inches at this point. Your uterus is now 6 inches from the bellybutton and the average weight gain is approximately 24 to 29 pounds.

Most pregnant women begin to feel cramped and heavy around this time and often become tired of being pregnant. Some women feel like they do not have to room to breathe or eat. You should eat small, but frequent, meals and rest as often as you can throughout the day. Your cervix will begin to dilate and efface within the next few weeks to make room for your baby's head to emerge from the birth canal. Your cervix needs to be 10 cm dilated in order to deliver your baby.
This week of your pregnancy your baby's fingernails will have definitely reached the tips of his fingers. When your baby is born, his nails may look long and pointy. Your baby is less likely to scratch himself at this point because of the lack of room in the uterus. Fat deposition will still continue and your baby is getting chubbier and rounder. Your baby's shoulders are plump at this point.
The baby begins to develop its own immune system.

Ok...I have to vent for a sec... Is it so hard to ask for once that when you buy something that it works or has all the parts?????????? We just went to put the crib together and it didnt have the amount of parts that it called for... Why is that? DOnt they know how many of each thing you need? Why is it you spend a sh*it load of money on something, wait 3 1/2 months for it and it still isnt right... I seriously feel like going to the store and telling the to take there floor model apart and give me my F'ing dowels...LOL Sorry its just I really wanted to finish the room this weekendtruthandsoul -

Eastern> it took us about 3-4 months after I had my daughter to even attempt at having sex then 2 months later I got knocked up again and we hardly did it in those 2 months! and no, H is not so paranoid about the fumes this time around but he was when I was pregnant with my first. Now he just shut the door, opened the window and they have an industrial fan in there so it doesnt even smell in the house.eastern-Canadian-Lady -

I remember that when I was 8 months last time we couldn't get intimate anymore. Then after baby it was 5 months. I didn't even really want it much, but when we tried it hurt, so we stopped, then tried again about three weeks later. I am not interested in it right now, bc it bothers me to have this huge hump. Last time we did the deed, my baby moved, and it grossed me out. I think that will be the last time for a while. We shall see. .......cjmc2577- How did it go witht the NST? This is my last too. H has two older kids, that lived with us for 11 yrs, and we already have one, and one on the way. Four is plenty. I would have more if I won the lottery. There were 17 in all in my family, including step sibling, and half siblings. CRAZY!! I haven't even met them all. 4 to go, and two that I haven't seen since I was about 9. No way on this green earth that I would want that many. Two does sound about right, one parent per child, that is even odds to work with, most of the time, LOL..........
shirley and maya - I am painting too. Only a big doll house too. is your h totally paranoid about fumes too??? I have two air conditioners running, and the bathroom fan, and two air purifiers!!! (They also help with my alergy to my dog, which I didn't know I had until after I got her. H wouldn't let me get rid of her, (for the last 9 yrs). He is a softy at heart, and said that 'we took her from her mommy, and we are the only family she knows so it would be mean to send her away.' I gotta love him though. Last time when I was pregnant, I painted two rooms, and moved all of the furniture, and had the house spotless. This time is pretty much the opposite. Only about a week to go and then I can start getting things in order. (that's about how long it will take to finish the doll house, and get it out of here. then there will be room to get other things put away. Moving sure made a mess!)libbysmama -

so totally off topic but we;re finally painting, well actually hubby and my dad are painting but I;ve been up since 8:30 reorgaizning the basement so we could move the guest room down there and I'm getting contractions every few minutes. They arent strong, not painful but defintiely happening so I'm sitting down now but gosh, its only noon and I could go to sleep!shirley and maya -

Mary> I totally agree and a perfect example of that is actually after the baby is born. Alot of people keep the baby in their rooms in a basinette or whatever - I was never able to have sex with my daughter in our room even thuogh she would be asleep whereas other people have no problem with it. Hubby and I would sneak off to the guest room to do it or have matinee's when she was in her crib but even still, sex isnt the same when yuou have a baby, even just having the monitor right there, listening to the air in her room - as a mom, you're always thinking 'she's going to wake up!'maryw -

if you put yourself in their place, it has to be awkward. If they were carrying our babies, I bet it would freak us out too. Just the idea of it makes my husband uncomfortable, and he's usually ALL for it. He feels like with the baby right there, it's just too weird. I don't think there's a right or wrong way to be, but I'm sure it's difficult for them. shirley and maya -

My hubby is in his early 30's and is defintely not as interested in sex as he was in his 20's. I think both men and wmen go through a period of not wanting it or going long periods wihout it. thx4grace -

I envy you coupled up girls.... I am a total freak when I am pg too - Lacywalk. This is my song for the morning..
I'm saying all the things that I know you'll like,
Makin' good conversation
I gotta handle you just right,
You know what I mean
I took you to an intimate restaurant,
Then to a suggestive movie
There's nothin' left to talk about,
Unless it's horizontally
Let's get physical, physical,
I wanna get physical, let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk,
Your body talk, let me hear your body talk
I've been patient, I've been good,
Tried to keep my hands on the table
It's gettin' hard this holdin' back,
You know what I mean
I'm sure you'll understand my point of view,
We know each other mentally
You gotta know that you're bringin' out
The animal in me
Let's get animal, animal,
I wanna get animal, let's get into animal
Let me hear your body talk,
Your body talk, let me hear your body talk

Mrspatton, I hope all works out for you. With my 1st pregnancy, I was forbidden by the doc to have sex because of some bleeding after early in pregnancy. Of course once my due date came we went at it like rabbits, LOL. I am so horny during pregnancy and it really doesn't feel good. I am the oposite when I am not prego. I get there every time with my husband (almost) and yet I avoid it most of the time...funny how things work. I was a little wierded out about him mesing with me when the baby was moving becuase then it felt like I was doing something wrong. Your husband may feel like it is morally wrong to be sexual when the baby is RIGHT THERE, if you know what I mean. Just tell him that you just want to know that he still has that attraction to you...I am sure things will change once you have the babe.truthandsoul -

I cant believe you all are talking about this, as I just this second had the conversation with MY hubby!!! He doesnt give me an answetr, but I would assume its because I have been really sore in my pelvis and he doesnt want to hurt me...but you still want to be wanted!!hetibelle -

I suppose in his mind he is being respectful of you and the baby...trying to be a gentleman?...but sometimes men don't understand that we need to still feel attractive and desired by our husbands...I know I feel fat and ugly and that if my hubby still wants some it makes me feel better...he assures me that he still finds me attractive but at the moment he is just fine without so much sex...is your hubby still affectionate...sometimes hubbys think that by showing affection the wife will think it has to lead to sex...if that makes sense?...so they stop showing so much affection so that we don't think they are after it...nadja22 -

My husband and I have been lacking the the sex department, but I see it as we are chasing around out 1 year old, tired from working all day...but I want to at least do it ONCE!!!! before new baby arrives. Once we got the OK from the doctor the last time, we had no problem....obviously, as i got pregnant so quickly!Mrspatton -

I just brought it up to him and he said I 'couldn't be more insulting'. He also said that I should understand his having a problem with having sex with a very pregnant wife. I said I do, AND I DO, but my concern is that he doesn't seem to even be missing it....that put him over the edge and now he doesn't want to spend the day with me. He said he was going to out to buy paint alone. Great. That worked well. hetibelle -

a couple of months after baby comes is a good time to go and treat yourself to some lovely new underwear, a really nice hair-do and a facial....and also having a baby at home means that you kinda have to grab your chances when they come...don't rely on bed time because you will be too knackered...mornings are good...weekends are good...when baby takes a nap...go for it in your kitchen...or in the hall...shouldn't be something you keep for the bedroom....spesh if baby sleeps in there...get it on on your living room rug...a wee glass of wine?...but you have to make it happen....otherwise before you know it 2 months has gone past and you haven't touched each other...hetibelle -

mrs patton it is very common...what you don't really want is him paying too much attention to what goes on between your legs when you are giving birth...keep him at eye level...lol...mine didn't want to look and I wouldn't have let him anyway....when baby comes home you will be really tired and baby kind of takes over things for a while....however it will get back to normal don't worry...it just takes time...and as for having sex at the moment...well just tell him you will sort yourself out if he won't help....lmao....Mrspatton -

Sex,,,,oh yeah I recall that. I am starting to think my husband is a-sexual....when I brought up sex yesterday he said 'your like a minute from having a baby I don't think it's safe'. When I assured him it is, he blew me off. I swear he is never going to fu-k me again! Sad thing is, he doesn't even seem to miss it, or think about it. Is that even normal? His excuse was that I 'never feel good anymore'. I do understand that it appears that way and I can see why he would shy away, but I would feel better if he gave me some indication that he was at least missing sex, or wanting sex....hell at this point I would be happy to learn he was jerking it daily just to spare me from sex because he thinks I don't want it....that would be better than thinking he doesn't have ANY interest in sex anymore. Right?? Should I be worried? I know I am not at my most attractive right now, but really....I don't know how to approach this one or if it is even a good idea to try. I just know it's depressing the hell out of me because I am thinking he could care less if it's 6 weeks or 6 months or 6 years post-partum waiting before sex again.lacywalk -

My husband and I just did it and although it was very awkward and not comfy for me, I know he is happy and it will 'ripen' my cervix a little (I hope). Besided after this baby comes, nothing for 6 weeks! I know I will survive, I may have to buy my husband some good mags and lotion, LOL. I can't believe I am beind dirty so early in the morning.

hetibelle - he is 32 and he acts like he is still in high school and going absolutely nowhere with his life. kicking his ass does seem like a good idea, lol. I got absolutely no sleep. =( barely 2 hours, and i was able to hear all the noise that he was making also. whats funny is that he is the only one that irritates the hell out of me. I have 3 other brothers and they arent nearly as bad. this one is supposed to be leaving in 2 days to another state for a supposedly stable job and he has to irritate me before he leaves. I doubt that this job will last, he doesn't keep a job for more than a year anyways. hetibelle -

Your brother is just being a typical male...selfish inconsiderate and thoughtless...I reckon no-one would blame you if you just kept note and when you are not pregnant...go kick his ass up and down the street!lol....you don't say what age he is?...not that it should matter...
Don't let it stress you too much...it's not good for you or the baby....just call him a fuc*wit and then rise above it and walk away.....texgal85 -

ok I so have to vent. I am living with my parents right now and this past night I haven't been able to sleep worth crap, only 2 hours. I go downstairs and I see one of my brothers who moved out a month ago entertaining a couple of his friends which im sure that my parents didn't give him permission to have people over. but anyways I get all pissed off at him because he is being disrespectful in my parents house and acts like he owns the place, AND he uses the drinks and food that me and my dad had JUST bought today. one of witch was a package of cheese that I needed for a dish that im gonna be preparing. we have 3 other kinds of cheese in the dang fridge and he uses the one that I needed!! ARGH!!!!! i've been pissed off all freakin' night at my STUPID brother who had the nerve to say something about my situation. He is so lucky that I can't really do anthing to him right now. I just needed to vent and get this out. i've just been so aggravated especially since I can't get any dang sleep tonight.lucy-aug-baby-girl -

Hey all!! Guess what? I found out from Mother in law tht a friend of her's just gave birth and it was a girl, through out the whole pregnancy she was told it was a boy, had a baby shower for a lil boy brought a welcome home outfit fit for her 'lil boy' and out came a girl! LoL it was crazii! Now I wonder if I'm really having a boy... Hmm wonder how often does this happen.. Only had 2 ultrasound and one of them was in the ER and they're the one tht told me I was having a boy!
