27 weeks pregnant • Pregnancy calendar •

Dates and numbers:
There are 88 days until your due date on January 03, 2009.
You are 192 days pregnant.
You are 6.3 months pregnant.
You are in your 7th month of pregnancy.
Your 1st trimester: March 29, 2008 to June 27, 2008. (0 - 12 weeks)
Your 2nd trimester: June 28, 2008 to October 10, 2008. (13 - 27 weeks)
Your 3rd trimester: October 11, 2008 to January 03, 2009. (28 - 40 weeks)

You are now in the third trimester, and last, of your pregnancy! Your baby's crown-to-rump length is about 9.6 inches and your baby's total length is approximately 15.3 inches! Your baby now weighs about 2 pounds 3 ounces and is going to grow rapidly during this last trimester! Your uterus is about 2.8 inches above your bellybutton.

If your baby were born now, it would have an 85% chance of surviving. Even though your baby is still not fully developed, she would be well within the limits of premature viability. You still have approximately 13 weeks left of your pregnancy, and during this time your baby must continue to grow and develop. If your baby was born at this time, she would have several complications that would require special attention. Because babies do not have adequate amounts of fat at this time, your baby would have to be kept inside of an incubator for warmth. Because the air sacs in your baby's lungs do not yet have surfactant, she would require an artificial respirator. Your baby's brain, liver and immune system still need to develop more also.

Make sure you take good care of your teeth. So-called `pregnancy gingivitis` affects most pregnant women to some degree, and generally occurs in the second trimester. If you already have gingivitis, the condition is likely to worsen during pregnancy.

Your baby can develop hiccups

gagirl--we didnt prepare in any way as I cant eat anything w/sugar I have GD. When I got there she was asleep they had me get up and walk around and drink so cold water to wake her!

To be honest, I'm more afraid of the 'burbs than the City. lol

gagirl - 44 minutes ago
for those that have had a 4d u/s... did you prepare for a good picture of your baby by eating /drinking something with sugar?. were they active oe slept the whole time?

We are still in the cities but not in downtown and maybe it is just being north rather then south or something like that because he is all weird. When we are up north in the woods things are really easy you just have to worry about bears other then that you can have your doors wide open and you are ok.

I was good about not being scared of things before I would go into Minneapolis and walk around or get a bus and be just fine but the husband makes you just want to not feel safe doing things by yourself so I really have not gone since moving in with him. I would go to concerts all the time and now I feel I have to have someone come with me or he will drive and drop me off at the door just because he is scared, makes things a little hard.

hardlyshowing - 1.9 hours ago
Please, I grew up in the City and I am still a scaredy cat! That is scary Ellie. Do you have an alarm system? Thinking about adding some more locks? The alarm systems are helpful; some even alert you when there's CM or a fire. So glad you and hubby are ok.

amber0225 - 3.1 hours ago
mynameisellie--wow that is scary.. I would be super freaked out.. I get scared very easy. especially living in the city now.. I'm orginally from a little country town! Yep little country girl living the city lifestyle now.. blah!

So, on Saturday night/actually early Sunday morning (at 4 a.m.), my husband wakes me up and says 'someone's knocking at our door.' I wake up and hear knocking and door bell ringing. We peek outside the window, and there's a black car with the lights and engine on on our street outside our home ... there's a guy standing outside the passenger door and the driver was apparently at our door ... the rings and knocks became more fast and frequent. We're freaking out. There was NO WAY we were going to open the door. The guy finally left and the car, sparked up a cig and slowly creeped the car down our street to the cul de sac. It turned around, came back by and left. Well, we call 911 and then the car comes back down our street!!!! It was so freaky. These were two white guys (probably meth heads) in their 20s. Our front door and sidewalk that leads up to our door is right by the nursery. I couldn't imagine how even more freaked out I would have been had the baby been in her crib with these creeps just a few feet away with nothing to separate them but a window. The cops didn't do anything and we still can't figure out who the a-holes/potential murderers? were that woke us up early Sun. morning.

amber0225 - 5.1 hours ago
On my one hour I was told not to fast just dont eat anything to sugary.. but then again I failed :(

Aydansmommy - 5.7 hours ago
I had a 1 hour glucose test and did not have to fast but I could not eat lots of carbs and my 3 hour I did have to fast so it depends on your doctor!

hightshuebaby - 8.7 hours ago

cantwait2bamummy - 8.8 hours ago

amber0225 - 13.4 hours ago

One week down and 9 more to go. I get my c/s in mid Dec. 75 days to be exact and I am SO NOT ready. I am now planning a baby shower for my sister who is having a baby in Feb. her edd is 2/09 and im scheduled for 12/19, i'm scared to do it after I have the baby cause I don't know how long it'll take me to recover and don't know if early Dec. is too soon.

lemonysickness - 23.3 hours ago
Oh and I finally got to feel hiccups last night myself. I almost woke DH up but seeing as he was out all night at his friend's bachelor party and had been drinking I figured I'd leave him be. Probably be like waking the dead. Also today is his birthday! =D Anyone else have a constant runny nose? Plus I think mine has been bleeding for a total of 5 days so far.

lemonysickness - 23.4 hours ago
AJCUK - I can't sleep past 1:30PM for anything. That may not sound too bad, but sleeping in for me is 3PM or later cause I've worked 2nd and 3rd shift jobs all my life.

AJCUK - 1 days ago
Natjean436 - that sounds a fab idea! Will have to give it a go!

AJCUK - 1 days ago
pinkprincess - i had this when I was in the bath, it was really strange to see, but i guess it is just our little ones trying to get a bit of exercise!

PinkPrincess - 1 days ago
so i was lying on my own in bed earlier watching the baby have a whale of a time kicking and wriggling about in there and all of a sudden my belly done this really crazy mexican wave thing. it was so strange i keep wanting it to do it again but it wont. any1 else had this? x x x

Natjean436 - 1 days ago
Ajcuk- I am the same way about sleeping in. I was up at 6am this morning. Figured it was a good time to get a little nooky in with the hubby. He didn't seem to mind. But it wore me out and put me right back to sleep for 2 hours! You should try it!

Mama Bear - 1 days ago
I FINALLY am able to notice hiccups!

amber0225 - 1 days ago
Today is our 3d/4d sono.. wish me luck that she wants to get her picture taken :)

AJCUK - 1 days ago
Can anyone else not sleep in now. Its the weekend, 2 days of being able to sleep in past 7am and I just can't do it. I was up at 730 yesterday and 7am this morning - it's sunday and 8am and I should be in bed chillin' and I just can't do it!

Cherushi Metsumari - 2 days ago
Wow! I can't believe I'm this far along already! It seems like just yesterday I took a pregnancy test with my husband and found out I was pregnant! Anyways, the baby kicks and hiccups are becoming more frequent. The hiccups don't come but every now and then, and I can feel the baby kick and move alot! I'm starting to get a little bit more tired than I usually do too. I've started going back to my doctor every 2 weeks now. It's only a matter of time when it's going to be every week. I can't wait to be a mom though!

ALLECIA73 - 2 days ago
I'm getting low kicks too - it's a crazy feeling!

abby-first-time-mommy - 2 days ago
oh... and START TAKING SOME VITAMIN C... you do NOT want a headcold when you're pregnant... i am sick and it sucks sooo much worse than any time i've been sick before i was pregnant...

abby-first-time-mommy - 2 days ago
um, i just felt baby on the outside with my hand and you could so tell it was a round body part... it totally creeped me out... i kept my hand there to see if he'd do it again and was poking a bit to get him to move around and hubby got on to me cause he thinks i'm gonna poke him in the eye or something... lol... baby has always favored my left side up until about 15 minutes ago so my right side is super sensitive to him... oh and I am doing Sudoku on a lap desk and he keeps trying to kick the lap desk off me... it is the strangest feeling ever... and GOD IS IT STARTING TO HURT... whew. just wanted to let ya know...

lisaandandrew - 2 days ago
wooot woot!! 3rd trimester!!! :)))

Natjean436 - 2 days ago
Sorry ladies, but I have to say it.....Go Noles!!! It's about time!

dianne220 - 2 days ago
I guess the surgery went well. The baby stayed put and I am now without a gallbladder. The incision sights hurt so bad and it kills me to get up to walk, pee, and whatever. My little girl thinks it's cute to kick me in the belly button 2-inch incision, lol. Ouch!!!

cantwait2bamummy - 2 days ago
K im starting to feel like a dairy cow lol I can't take my bra off or be in the bath without my partner trying to milk me hmmmmmm nothing comes out so atm im a dried up dairy cow I guess lol

sandrineandbbboy - 2 days ago
Thank you ladies for your replies...I am feeling much better . I will see my doctor in two weeks time, I will update you.

Daniellamaria - 2 days ago
Hey ladies! Does anyone feel like they can't breathe after eating? I feel breathless and i've got heartburn aswell, not a good combo!

addisyns-mommytobe - 2 days ago
As much as I love my girl's kicks, they're extremely high, up under my ribs and they really hurt. She's active almost CONSTANTLY and as my placenta is directly on top, I can feel her everywhere. Feel very lucky he or she is kicking low, those kicks don't hurt at all!

amber0225 - 2 days ago
My little one isnt very active either and she is def. low. I have actually told everyone when she decides to drop later on I will be holding her in.

annan617 - 2 days ago
I am not feeling the baby kick a lot either and it feels low too-my Dr said my baby is lying underneath the placenta which is ok and when that happens you won't feel lots and lots of kicks.

sillymamaof3 - 2 days ago
sandrineandbbboy- i feel the same way. if i do feel the baby its way 'in' or 'low' so i dont feel much on the outside. maybe the baby is just in there differently this time?

lemonysickness - 2 days ago
sandrineandbbboy - My little one kicks a lot still but definitely not as much as she use to. I'm putting it down to the fact that she is just running out of room. I feel her shifting more than actual kicks. Oh and she still kicks extremely low too. I swear I believe a foot will eventually pop out early lol.

sandrineandbbboy - 2 days ago
I am 27 weeks pregnant and six days. My baby is not an actif baby, he makes few moves, kicks in a day..Should I get worried? And I still feel the kicks very low..Please some feedbacks.

twinbabiesjanuary - 2 days ago
addisyns-mommytobe - no, but they'll probably collect dust... and nobody wants a dusty private part haha.

lemonysickness - 2 days ago
Posted my 27 week belly picture. I still think I'm small. Don't know how a baby is going to fit haha.

addisyns-mommytobe - 2 days ago
No my belly button has ben threatening to pop for about 7 weeks now...it just won't make up it's mind I guess. I have a question for those of you who have had kids before --- I'm setting up my change table now and was wondering if I put the diapers out now, will they dry out? They're pampers baby dry..
