35 weeks pregnant • Pregnancy calendar •

Dates and numbers:
There are 28 days until your due date on February 04, 2009.
You are 252 days pregnant.
You are 8.3 months pregnant.
You are in your 9th month of pregnancy.
Your 1st trimester: April 30, 2008 to July 29, 2008. (0 - 12 weeks)
Your 2nd trimester: July 30, 2008 to November 11, 2008. (13 - 27 weeks)
Your 3rd trimester: November 12, 2008 to February 04, 2009. (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.

hey ladies, just got back from the doctor today and I'm 2 cm dilated, 50% effaced, and the baby is measuring 3 weeks bigger than the 'norm'. I've been on strict bed rest for 3 weeks now, and have been in some rare pre-labor for 9 days with hard contractions every 10-20 min for 9 days now. I am so ready for the pain to end. My doctor is thinking of inducing me next weeks and I really hope so. Anyone else going through a similar situation?

babybuka-I'm crap at exercising even when I'm not pregnant. I commend anyone who can still work out this far along. I think a lot of the 'blobish' feeling is the water weight more so than the belly so don't feel bad. There are some really good pregnancy workout videos, and you should exercise if you can it will make you feel a so much better. I've been making sure I get extra time for pruning and make-up. I went ahead and died my hair last week. There are natural henna hair dyes that you can get from the health food shop. I've just discovered how awesome swimming is on my joints. I can stretch out in the pool without all the gravity. Whatever means you end up finding try not to push yourself because you feel fat. Baby will be out sooner than you know and everything will go back to normal.

hello mommies to be, this might sound weid but I really don't want a baby shower but when I told my mom she screamed and said I always do things diffirently from others. Oh well! I've decided to go ahead with one as my friend wants host it so bad. I know its not about gifts but if for the ladies who want a certain thing you can just have people bring you gift cards only so you can buy the things your self. I did that for my wedding ( monetary gifts or gift cards) and will be doing the same for my baby shower as hubby and I already have all we need, used and new. i don't have anything wrong with accepting used things except cloths or baby bottle. We received a stroller and two car sits, swing and rocking chair from a friend of ours who used it for her baby.I was so thankful as we get to spend the money on something else.

tabathan- I try not to let what other people say effect the way that I feel but I just have been getting a lot of rude comments lately and it is taking a toll. I think I am just having one of those days and maybe I will feel better and go tomorrow.

babybuka- I don't know why you can't go to the gym if that's what you want. I go, I ran a mile and lifted weights on Saturday. I admitt I do a lot less than I used to but I do keep up with a light workout and love it. I was supposed to go today, but I haven't felt well:( I wouldn't let other peoples reactions rule your decisions.

babybuka - 1.4 hours ago
Oh yeah one more thing! I called my mom to see if she would walk with me and she said 'sure i'll go!' and when i said 'ok!' she laughed and said 'Im just kidding.' Thats just mean!!! I know I am sooo overly sensitive right now and I know I am over reacting but come on...dont tease a pregnant woman, its just not nice! :(

I just need to ask-does anyone else feel totally not attractive in the tiniest bit? I was sitting on the bed talking to my husband and I glanced in the mirror and wanted to cry. I hate feeling that way because I love my belly because I know my baby is in there. But at the same time it is so frustrating and I am really upset right now. I want to go to the gym to walk around the track or on the treadmill but I feel like people will look at me funny so I wont go. My hubby is out playing racqetball right now and I am just jealous because even if I wanted to get into shape I couldnt. I dont necessarily want to do a work out or anything but I want to feel like Im not just a blob getting bigger by the day. I dont like walking by myself and I have no one to go with. My hubby just left for the gym and now I feel like I want to cry. That isnt normal...I shouldnt want to cry because he is going to work out. Thats so stupid!!! But all I want to do right now is cry and I really just dont get it. I know its the hormones but AHHH THIS SUCKS!

soon2Bmum- Thanks for responding--I cant do the whole half day thing but thats nice that is he able to. I just finished all of my planning but then I realized that there is all the other little things and I just want to be done with it!!! AHHH lol

joshsbaby - 1.7 hours ago
I went to Labor and Delivery and they tried to stop it through IVs and through meds, but nothing worked. I think that they just stopped me from dilating or something because my contractions were the same, but I stopped dilating after they gave me the meds.

babybuka~~ my husband is chemistry, earth science, and freshman science teacher... and he gets to take the 6 weeks off as well... i know you probably wont be able to do this bc your the mother... but he is going to be taking off full days for the first week and a half and then he will be doing half days rest of the time and then he gets an extra couple weeks out of it as well... but he is stressing out about the lesson planning... and hoping that whatever sub they get will be able to do all of it... good luck!!!

sofia~~ i agree...i went into walmart the other day... and one of the greeters looked at my belly and asked when i was due... and i told her feb 7th... and she looked at me and kinda looked like she frowned and then told me... 'honey... the last month is absolutly the worst!!' i was like well thank you wench... i dont even know you and you have the nerve to say that to me... you could have atleast said almost there... or just a month left good luch... but noooo... tell me that im in the worst of it all know... i just dont know sometimes

I dont know what everyone else does for work but I am finding that getting ready to take maternity leave is a very daunting task and it is getting annoying lol I am a teacher so I have to make sure my lesson plans are done and everything like that. Well I have my plans all completed but there are so many little things that need to be planned as well and I am just soooo overwhelmed!!! I was just wondering if anyone else feels this way and how they are dealing with it...

I feel like crying today cause my mouth hurts. It's so weird. I took a nap yesterday for like 30 mins and when I woke up my gums, top and bottom, on the right side of my mouth were throbbing and hurting. I thought it would go away but it's hurt all day today too. I think maybe I was clenching down on my teeth while I was sleeping cause I've been known to do that. I'll take a tylenol tonight but if it doesn't go away in the next few days I'm going to have to try and go to the dentist I guess. It's so frustrating. I just want to make it through the next few weeks and give birth with no more interruptions. I take pretty good care of my teeth and don't typically have problems so this is weird. I'm hoping it's nothing cause I recently got married and changed insurance and all and have already been having a hard enough time getting everything worked out for the baby's delivery and I haven't even had time to look over the dental insurance yet. Uggg...

I was just reading what everyone else was saying about being a B**** and things like that I am right there with you. Today was the first day back to work after 2 weeks of being off (Im a teacher). I LOVE my job but everyone there irritated me today! At the end of the day I actually looked at two of my students and said 'Do you really think i am that stupid?! Do your work!' lol I am never like that! And if one more person tells me how big I am or anything like that I am going to smack them. I know I am big! I can feel that!! I am having a baby....do they expect me to get smaller?! AHHH It's sooo annoying!!! And as for the whole stroller thing people were talking about my MIL told us that we could pick out anything we wanted and she would buy it for us. Well we did and she said ok. Then a week later she was complaining that it was too expensive (she doesnt like spending money on certain things....but shell spend 200 on cigarettes alone...dont get me started!!) Anyways, she asked us to look around and see if we could find anything else. Well I did just to humor her but we didnt want anything else...that is the one we wanted becuase we liked it and it had good reviews. She eventually bought it for us but not without complaining the whole time. I hate that! Dont offer to do something and then complain about it. There are times throughout the day when i just want to cry and i dont even know why! My baby is head down right now which is great but he is putting so much pressure on my hip that it makes me want to cry and I cant get comfortable becuase i feel like I am going to smoosh him. I cant wait to meet him...I really want him to come early because I dont think I can handle him being late!!!

joshsbaby- if you are still in so much pain that you can't bear it, w/ regular contractions you should go back into L&D. They either need to give you meds to stop the contractions or something to help dilate your cervix so you can deliver. It is really easy for L&D staff to be dismissive of first time moms (especially if you are young)and think you are exagerating your pain, thus ignoring you. You may need to be firm. Remember who's pregnancy this is and who will deliver this baby:YOU! Not the doc, not the nurses! They are only there to help YOU! I am worried you will tire yourself out, and be unable to maintain your energy if your labor does start progressing.At the very least, the docs should be interested in stopping your contractions or give you something to help you relax and get a little rest.

joshsbaby - 4.2 hours ago
I don't know if I'll last that long either way. I'm planning to get induced at 39.2 weeks..But last night I spent 4-5 hours in Labor and Delivery trying to stop contractions that were 4.5 to 5 minutes apart, and the nurse failed. But since I wasn't dilating at the rate the on-call doctor wanted they sent me home and said to come back if they get worse or I feel stuff coming down my leg. Right now I can barely move because I have severe menstrual cramping like and I've been contracting all day. My lower back is in the worse pain- I woke up last night bawling because it hurt so bad. I honestly think that the doctor has my due date way off (mostly because we could never determine when the exact first day of my last period really was because I didn't have my period for three months before I found out I was pregnant, but then when I found out, I was told I was only like 4-5 weeks along. So I don't know anymore.

joshsbaby & mommy2b0209- I had horrible pain like you ladies describe with my first baby and was induced at 37 weeks for preeclampsia. For me, the induction wasn't worth it. Pitocin makes the contractions hurt like hell and the come much faster with little or no rest in between. If you want a natural birth,try to hold off until you go into labor on your own...even if it sucks. If you don't mind pain meds or already planned on using pain meds anyway, then maybe induction would be okay for you. Also, even though 37 weeks is considered 'full-term', the babies are more prone to jaundice and feeding issues. If you plan on breastfeeding and get the induction, make sure you have a lactation consultant who can help you at the hospital. Good luck either way and do what you feel will give you the best birth experience.

Allrass- I have somewhat of a similar relationship with my mom. Except that she tried to talk me out of having more kids and made my hubby think something was wrong with me so we wouldn't have kids! Sofia- There IS a life after baby. Its a matter of adjustments. That's all. But I feel ya! You will get so many awful comments . I don't know why people are compelled to do that to us but they do. And I have read that if you go into labor with anxiety, it will stall it because you are holding back your body from progressing naturally by sending signals . That's why I've been working on telling myself it is OK and to tune out the negative comments and craziness around me. That things will turn out fine. You know...I think you may have given me the answer as to why i feel so antisocial lately with the rest of the world. I can't deal with my parents many times. I can't stand my hubby's family. They ALL bother me! Especially this nephew and this niece he has. Grrr. That's another story. I feel like everyone we know is so annoying and everyone on the road is dumb. And no one around me understands how I feel. Then at work they tell me that I look good, like if doubting all the issues I've been going thru. Just cuz someone looks ok does NOT mean they ARE ok. To read what Flybear said about us moms-to-be retreating from the world does make sense. I thought i was kind of nuts too. Guess not! But I'm also starting to think that the retreating thing is part of us getting ready for the big day. I will take that as a sign!

Mommy2b0209: My doctor said that he will induce me (if I want) as soon as he sees that the baby is mature enough. I'll be 37 weeks in two weeks, whihc I am sure you will to. At this point, the baby's lungs and major vitals should be mature and its not considered preterm or premature as if you were to have it this week or earlier. At 37 weeks, you're seen as full term anyways. Its just a matter of time before she or he comes out. I'm getting induced as soon as possible because I don't have any room left for her...and I go to bed crying because my back and tummy hurt so bad because there is just not enough room!

mommy2b0209 - 5.4 hours ago
Ok Ladies so i went to my dr today, and i told her i was in so much pain with my back, and hips and the baby pushing down. she told me if i wanted to she could induce me in two weeks. is that a good idea????? i want to meet him so bad, but i want a full term healthy baby.

I haave come to realize that every holiday where gifts are involved are more or les dissapointing. People are going to get you what they want regardless. I try to just think of the reason for the holiday and forget all that present stuff. I am happy if I just get a phone call from someone or a card from someone who just remembered my bday or what not. I on the other hand try to compensate for the lack of thinking on everyone else's part and must buy the most thoughtful gifts every....when we can afford it. If not, I always have everyone's bdays on my calender so at least they are not forgotten :)

sofia - Don't listen to all of that crap. I don;t know why people always have to tell you the bad parts and just their bad experiences in life in general. I think maybe when we tell good stories it makes us feel like we are bragging. But still, your experiences will be different then everyone else's and you will gain from each one. Don't let anyone steal your joy about the life you are living. Everything changes all the time. A new job can take away from your personal life and fun, but in the end it is worth every second.

miracle 3 - 5.8 hours ago
It looks like some good points have been made about all of us being grateful and remembering how good we really have it!!! (when we could be starving and living in a cardboard box.) Sometimes when we can't afford things we have to get creative and do without. We are actually not getting an infant seat just a convertible due to cost etc.. I think it will all work out though. If I have to return the sale stroller we got to buy this car seat I do. Many moms for years have carried babies close instead of all the fancy extras.. There are simple baby carriers out there that are innexpensive and this is what I will use to go on walks esp at first if I need to return the stroller to get the car seat. (which is definately a need) I do think if any of us are feeling stressed about all the costs there are ways of deciding what is really something we need vs something we would really like. - I really can't get upset that others aren't buying off my registry cause you know what I hardly ever do either. It is up to the giver what they would like to give. For many buying items of a registry is convenient and others it requires a lot of travel and they may find an item they really would like to give and it takes the fun out of it for them to get a registry item. (I know I have tons of extra clothes so any friend who has a baby will probably be getting some outfits from me too- ha ha ( lots of used items do clean up and those that are really stained a person doesn't have to keep unless it is something they are really needing) - When having a new baby it is so hard to think of putting any dirty looking item on or near them but as they get older though stains honestly won't matter as much, suprisingly!

Sofia, I do know how you feel. I've actually asked people not to share their stories when they start talking about their horror stories. I'm excited and happy about my baby and well aware that something could go wrong. Emotionally I can't handle it right now. I'm also going through some weird stage where EVERYONE gets on my nerves except my dr, other pregnant people, my niece and my husband. Everyone else is too much and I lose my patience. Even my mom and best friend and all. And I used to LOVE meeting new people, I've always been outgoing, but lately it just frustrates and irritates me. I just want to think and talk about baby all the time and having to bs and act like I care about anything else gets on my nerves. lol Sound weird? I was starting to feel crazy or something. I was telling my husband about it the other day and then just this morning I was reading from one of my expectant mom books and it was talking about how a lot of women feel like retreating from the world, friends and even family while in the very late stages of pregnancy, so that made me feel better.

sofia - 6.1 hours ago
Well it's nice that we can all share our opinions on this site..other people could think we are ungreatful and you know...dealing with other people seems impossible lately..eveybody seems to be happy to share their horrid birth stories and not having a life after baby comments with me and I just want to scream and stay in my house and not deal with the outside world until the baby comes..anybody feeling like this?

baby-bunny19 - 6.1 hours ago
and i agree with the baby clothes for dollies! i used to do that when i was little too because we didn't have much money to spend so garage sale baby clothes were so cool to us and it made it feel more like a real baby too so it was even cooler!

baby-bunny19 - 6.2 hours ago
i have to say that i got A LOT of used stuff at my baby shower and i am very grateful. i got some stuff that was stained which to me to a big deal because they are going to stain it anyways but somethings were just TOOO stained and i felt bad getting rid of them because the lady that gave them to me was just trying to do something nice for me and help us out so i told her thank you and kept the cleanest most decent stuff and got rid of the really bad stuff. and as for getting things you don't need...yeah i got a walker that my baby will not really be able to use since our house is so small and i got a toddler stroller that you can't hook an infant seat to so it's pretty useless for me right now at least...but thankfully we have a garage to store all the things we don't need right now. i just can't wait till she is finally here!! we start our birthing classes tonight! woohoo!!

flybear - 6.2 hours ago
Allrass, infant clothes are awesome for lil girls to dress their dolls in. My mom used to get me a bag full at garage sales for like $2 or something so I could dress my dollies up. I loved playing dolls and changing their clothes and even putting diapers on them but the true doll accessories get expensive. If I went to my mom's today I could probably find my old dolls and use their clothes for my baby. lol haha jk

allrass730 - 6.2 hours ago
Flybear... Very clever idea about saving clothes for dolls! I hadn't thought about that.

Taylin- I love my mother and we've had good times and bad but my feelings towards that woman (don't get me wrong, I'll always love her) are the reason that I didn't want to have kids in the first place. I hope that this little one never has to post a comment like I just did on a pregnancy forum :)

Taylin-N-Alyssa - 6.5 hours ago
Allrass- That's funny about your mom! Joshsbaby & Flybear- Yes, absolutely agree with those feelings as well. I kept a dress my daughter got when she turned 2 for about 3 years in her closet. I just got rid of it in a yard sale. It was not our taste and she would have looked ridiculous in it. I guess I kept it out of guilt. That's my fear if someone does a shower. And that's why I posted about my hubby and I doing things ourselves. I wish I had that want of being pampered cuz of being preggo. Lord knows I'm suffering right now with all these symptoms! We have seen gifts that are just unexplainable these past 5 years with my daughter. Baby showers are ONLY the beginning of some of the horrendous stuff you will encounter when people don't listen to you about what to get your child! LOL! It still amazes me to see how people (and with the best of intentions, of course!) will buy for your child as if they were buying clothes or things for themselves. It can get wild!

joshsbaby - 6.6 hours ago
Flybear: I see your point about the stroller/carseat travel system. Thats one thing that I told everyone that if they don't get the one I want, don't bother. I was strict about it because I didn't want a use one- too much worrying and hazards. SO my boyfriend's friend and my best friend had given me money and said spend it on something for the baby- and thats what I got with it. I got the CHicco Cortina Travel System. Comes with a stroller/ carseat / carseat base and its awesome! ANd putting it together and actually installing it in the car was extremely easy..and it got great reviews on it. When I complained about people getting me stuff, I meant like 1970s clothes that someone dug out of their basement. I don't mind used/second hand stuff. I grew up with them because in my family we couldn't be picky, but my owm mother would never dress us 30 years out of fashion..And she had taste. If she was going to get something she got something that she knew the kids would like..Not something she liked. So even if they get something used- its not a bad thing- its when they get stuff THEY LIKE and then sit there and expect you to have the same taste and liking for it. AGH!

Ladies I really wasn't trying to be judgemental. I'm just reminding you that by a couple of weeks, possibly even days after that baby gets here it won't matter anymore if the high chair matches the bassinet. If someone is willing to save you the hundred dollars, take it and say thank you! lol But I do understand what you're saying cause my best friend spent quite a bit of money on a used stroller for me. First of all, I don't mind used things, but she bought it from her sister, whom I'm also friends with and I can't believe how much she charged her, second, it was really dirty and they didn't even clean it up and air up the tires for me, third, it didn't still have the baby seat attachment to make it useable for an infant, so it's of no use to me. It's pretty much, an old, dirty toddler stroller. I can get a cheap umbrella toddler stroller for my kid for less than half as much as she spent on that and for as much as she did spend on it she could have spent just a lil more and got me a NEW carseat/stroller combo that I could actually use for an infant. Not to mention I had tried to nicely tell her anyways, that a carseat is one thing I want NEW. I want one that is new and meets all the regulations and standards, so even if she had got the infant seat for that stroller it wouldn't have been the one I used in the car which means I would have had to tote the extra carseat with me when I wanted to use the stroller anyways and move the most likely sleeping baby to another carseat before using the stroller. So any way I can look at it, I don't want that stroller. It's big, bulky, dirty, ugly, needs air in the tires, isn't usable for an infant. I would RATHER have a stroller for an infant cause a toddler can walk so that's really what I wanted to begin with so I still had to buy one anyways and guess what?! An infant stroller becomes a toddler stroller too, so there's just no justifying how much she spent on something I don't need and I feel bad and I want to just throw it away but she'll be coming to stay with me for a couple of days after I have him so I'm going to wait until she is gone. lol So I honestly do know how you guys feel but really if it's decent and usable, keep it and say thank you. And honestly those ugly outfits may make for some fun dress up as your kid gets older and if your having a girl they can use them on their dollies. :)

Allrass730: I know what you mean about being a B***H. I try not to be, but sometimes I just don't care. Its not fair that I don't get to sleep at night, or that I am sacrificing my body...or that I am still expected to be in the mood/shape I was in pre-pregnancy. Lucky for me I only have a little bit left and I can go back to being normal. But I don't always feel terrible for sharing my 'feelings'. LOL. I know- I'm terrible- but thats life..Right? And I hear you about people giving you/getting you stuff you would not be caught dead in. My BF's mother does that..and it annoys me so I kind of hide it in the back with the stuff I don't want..and then my boyfriend gets mad cause he thinks I do it because I am trying to get back at his mother. Its so aggravating. I appreciate them giving me stuff- but if you're gonna spend money, why not get me something that I like and would love to use...It s my kid- go after my taste...DOn't you wish they would just understand that? LOL

joshsbaby - 7.1 hours ago
Well, I finally made it week 35. I thought she was coming out for sure last night, but apparently not. I am having contractions bout 5 minutes apart, but they are not strong enough to dilate me at the rate the doctor wants, so they sent me home and said to come back in if I feel stuff coming down my leg or they get extremely unbarable. So I am waiting. They did an ultrasound and the baby is great. Thats all they would tell me. I was pretty aggravated. I deserve to know everything, but they weren't really telling me much. Well, I have a doctor's appointment next tuesday, so hopefully then I'll know more...If she doesn't decide to come early.

kaydences-mum,in response to the horrible stretch marks..I'm actually doing good with this pregnancy.I have not developed any new ones with this pregnancy(knock on wood), but with my daughter I was your age 17 when I got pregnant with her and I got too many..use cocoa butter cream all over every day it helps..it's helped me in preventing new ones and helped my other ones fade..but it's part of pregnancy. GOOD LUCK!!!

I'm not gonna lie... I expect a lot BECAUSE I'M PREGNANT :) I know that sometimes it makes me seem like an irrational b*tch but hey... The hormones running rampid in my body right now suck and there are days that I don't even know myself. So while I appreciate everything that people have given us (believe me, we would be screwed with out the gifts we've recieved) there are still days that I get pissed because my mom got me something used that had a stain on it or my cousin tried to spread her sense of style and fashion by getting clothes for the baby that I myself wouldn't be caught dead in! I know they have the best intentions and want to help and it makes me love them even more for being involved in my life but just because I don't use or like what they gave me, it doesn't mean that I'm ungreatful. It means I have a vision in my psychotic (lol) head of how I want this whole baby thing to go and people aren't doing what I want so rather than tell them to stop, I can come on here and vent about it to people who are dealing with the same things. I've actually been pretty lucky though. My mom is the only person getting me exactly what I tell her not to and that's because she is the most difficult evil woman in the world!

Arent babyshowers ment to Celebrate the Baby coming into this world?!? I hate how people have made it so commercialized and set such high standards for them.

One more thing...Flybear is RIGHT! Pink blankies, yellow blankies, mismatched onesies and hats. It won't matter! If there is a colon, a bladder, and a mouth, these three things will take care of your entire matching nursery/outfits and convert it into a non-matching one in maybe less than a day. Use ALL the blankies you get becasue once they start having accidents, they come in handy when you are changing their clothes. Remember that they lose body heat very quickly and at that point, you won't even care about color. The goal is to connect the diaper to the toosh at world record rate. Diaper with toosh. Remember those words. And I know you experienced mommies know what I am talking about! LOL!

MommyKruse and sofia- I understand you as well. My hubby and I are feeling it both ways. Thats whay i got so MAD at the one friend looking thru my receipts! Just thinking about it gets me going again! We depend on no one. Not family, church, friends or anyone! I don't expect baby showers or any type of gushy behavior from anyone becuz I'm preggo. I am not one to ask for attention either. We have gone thru it all as a family-my hubby, myself, and my daughter. The baby shower at work is a surprise that i was not expecting at all. So, that is a blessing but scary to think that I could get stuff i may not be able to use. I, too, have researched and from prior experience would like to use certain types of bottles, brands and such. I was able to get in touch with the organizer and let her know about the registries. And the registries aren't even for the public. They were for my hubby and I only, since we are so absent-minded now due to the pregnancy. Its hit him as well (lol). But I see both sides of it. My issue is that I'm frustrated with the world in general at this point. I don't think many of us mean it to be mean in any way. Its just trying to find a win-win situation. I wouldn't want anyone spending money on baby things that we won't be able to use. That's whay I would rather buy it all myself and deal somehow financially. Now diapers and babywipe gifts is a different story! Bring those on!

Does anyone else have heat flashes? I keep waking up at night because I'm sweating, so I turn on the fan and get too cold. I guess I just can't win.

I know you look at it like if they are going to be buying me stuff then they should at least buy me things I NEED, but remember ladies that those are gifts and although you may not need that one extra outfit, it could be all that person could afford or they may not have been aware of the fact that you were registered and in reality they didn't have to get you anything. I know you probably would have rather had the yellow hats than the pink or the pampers diapers rather than the huggies but I promise you the baby won't care about that or whether or not his/her stroller matches the crib and swing and most likely they'll rarely be in the same room at the same time anyways so after the baby actually starts using it you won't care either. Be happy and relieved that that's some more money you don't have to spend. I did have an awesome baby shower with a lot of gifts and some of them I can't really use but I definitely appreciate the effort. I got about 50 blankets and we live in New Orleans. It was 80 degrees on Christmas, do you think I need that many blankets? No but who's to say I won't use them for him to play on or regift if I have a friend get pregnant with a lil boy. Use your resources. We had to buy all of our big things ourselves and even then we can't afford all the nice matching sets, but it doesn't matter, our nursery still looks awesome and most likely after baby comes home and craps all over the sheets and I have to put on one of the extra sheets for the first time, nothing will ever match again. Baby really only needs a place to sleep and a carseat anyways, so be happy with anything more that you're blessed with to make it easier.

I can't believe how fast this has really gone! Only 35 more days. About to go to the doctor so hopefully I get answers for all of the cramping I've been having..Wish me luck:] I hope all of you mommy-to-be's are doing great!

I pee none stop. I pee and then sneeze a minute later and pee my pants then pee again just to get it all out and then pee again when I cough a few minutes later. I keep trying to see if my water breaks and it is really hard. I know that when it is time it will gush, but I am so worried I will just leak a little like with my first and I have strep B and would need antibiotics ASAP. I have a dr appt today so I can see what kind of progress I am in. Can't wait :)

I agree with Mommykruse but I also understand the frustration of having planned something and not coming out quite right. My dh and I were given a lot of used stuff and I had a baby shower with 99 % clothes that we did not need. We have no money and spent the little we had on the essentials we were not given...with registries sometimes I feel people do not like to be told what to buy and it seems to be part of the deal. A good friend of mine had a baby shower and her friend sent invitations with 'no clothes' please...did it work? yes, but on the other hand people were not very happy about it so I do not think there is a middle ground on this..be strong ladies and besides that babies do not need much at the beginning.

MommyKruse - 9.7 hours ago
Just to put this out there, you girls you have people buying you anything at all are lucky. Some people have no family or friends to buy them anything and have to buy it all themselves. Or in mine and dh's cases we have had to buy everything ourselves because my family doesn't care and doesn't think we need help with anything. I have a 4 year old, so I had nothing baby left. I am sorry that some don't get what they want because lets face it, people don't pay attention to what you need or want half the time.

and thank you all for your comments

soon2Bmum - 10.4 hours ago
as much as it sucks... its nice to know that others are with me and the whole baby shower... im just going to try and put it behind me and be happy with whatever i get... and i gues thats the one nice thing about not knowing what im having... is that NOBODY wants to buy clothes because they dont want everything to be green and yellow... so i dont have to worry about getting a lot of clothes and missing out on things that i really need... off to work now... have a good day ladies
