Twins
Dates and numbers:
There are 202 days until your due date on December 05, 2008.
You are 78 days pregnant.
You are 2.6 months pregnant.
You are in your 3rd month of pregnancy.
Your 1st trimester: February 29, 2008 to May 29, 2008. (0 - 12 weeks)
Your 2nd trimester: May 30, 2008 to September 11, 2008. (13 - 27 weeks)
Your 3rd trimester: September 12, 2008 to December 05, 2008. (28 - 40 weeks)
Your baby continues to grow and is now approximately the size of a large lime! The crown-to-rump length of your developing child is 1.75 to 2.4 inches. The weight of the fetus is approximately 8 grams at this point. The growth of your baby is phenomenal now and your baby's length will double in the next three weeks. The head is grossly out of proportion and is almost half of the baby's length.
You are almost at the end of your first trimester and while changes continue to occur quickly in your baby, they are happening at a slower rate in you. Your uterus has been growing with the fetus inside of it and is now almost big enough to fill your pelvis. Your uterus may be able to be felt in your lower abdomen, above the middle of your pubic bone. You are not able to feel the baby moving inside of you at this time. Some women think that they have felt their baby moving now, but it is either gas or a wrongly dated pregnancy. You might also be noticing changes in your hair, fingernails, or skin around this time. Some women notice an increase in hair growth and nail growth during pregnancy and others lose small amounts of hair. You are burning up calories at a faster rate than you did before you became pregnant! The amount of blood being pumped around your body will increase and you might feel warmer than usual.
This is the last week of the embryonic period. From now on, your baby will be called a fetus. Your baby's fingernails appear this week! External genitalia are beginning to show distinguishing features and the development of male or female will be complete in three weeks. The placenta's blood vessels increase to provide your baby with the nutrients and oxygen he needs for continued growth. Your baby's ears are gradually moving from the neck towards the sides of his head. Inside of your baby's abdomen, the intestines are developing. Because the intestines are so large, some of them project into the umbilical cord and they will return to the abdomen within the next week or two.
At the size of a plumb, your baby is now able to swallow. The urinary system functions. The baby swallows and urinates the amniotic fluid and the fluid is continually replaced. The baby is kicking but the mother cannot feel it yet. All vital organs are formed and, for the most part, function normally. From now on, they will grow in size and efficiency.
As a preparation for breastfeeding, your baby now has learned to swallow. Babies swallow amniotic fluid in the uterus.

Im stating my workout again...of course as I sit here and procrastinate. The good thing is the cravings for crappy food have subsided, I want Greek salad, Fruit, Veggies and Jerk Chicken! I'd like to loose a few of these LB or just maintain now...we'll see hwo it goes. I wouldnt be feeling bad about 4lb. Its says 3-5 is normla for the first trimester :)JustKelly1976 -

JustKelly- I'm sure it's o.k! Yor not supposed to start showing untill 12 to 13 weeks if that. The baby is still behind the pubic bone. As far as your symptoms thats great, your one of the lucky ones:) If you don't have any cramping or bleeding you should be just fine. I had heavy bleeding for the first 4 to 5 weeks and my baby is great. So keep positive! baddough -

aw kelly, it will be okay. Just keep in mind that many women will not gain weight during this time and that many women get super lucky and their symptoms start weaning off at this time as well. **big hugs** let us know and good luck sweetie.Jays wife -

wow really? By 8.5 weeks I had gained 5 lbs and mu nurse said it was TOTALLY okay. It's so weird that each doctor and nurse says something different!! jashaelynn -

badh- Tell me about it. My 6 year old had to calm me down. She said 'mommy God would not be very happy with you right now.' Those damn private schools. Why do they have to teach your children the right things??? JustKelly1976 -

OK ladies....So I have an issue. I usually love to husband-bash, and talk about how I hate sex anymore...But here's the thing...I'm scheduled for a scan today, the nuchal-something or other, and I'm a little apprehensive. Honestly, if there's a heartbeat I'm going to be surprised. I really don't think my belly has grown all that much in the past 2 weeks and my symptoms have really gone away. I will be sure to keep everyone posted though.

I have a question for all of you 11 weekers..I went to the Dr. yesterday and I am 11 weeks and 3 days and I have gained 4 lbs and my doctor made me feel like that was too much already.. In what to expect when you are expecting it says average weight gain in first trimester is 3-4 lbs.. I have been so sick every day I can't even think about excersizing.. How much have you gained already? Am I really gaining weight too fast?baddough -

K girls, does anyone else have a severe case of road rage lately? I have this stupid school bus at the end of my street that likes to keep is stop sign on. It reverses and pulls out in front of me everyday!! It's like it knows when I leave my house. I'm torn on getting out of my car and yelling at the guy. Cause I don't want to scare the children. But he really deserves it!!!! futuremamaj -

ehhh cramping and stuff...they think it's caused by diarrhea but said if everything continued into today to come in and get things checked out 'for reassurance for me'. They don't think anything is wrong but they are not carrying MY baby in THEIR uterus.futuremamaj -

that's probably mean and insensitive of me to say but for crying out loud, if you want to kill yourself, why would you do it in front of an entire crew of people by throwing yourself into a wood chipper??? The guy isn't dead either...it sounds like a pretty freaking dramatic thing to do. But hey, I don't know the guy so i really shouldn't pass judgement...futuremamaj -
