Dates and numbers:
There are 77 days until your due date on March 25, 2009.
You are 203 days pregnant.
You are 6.7 months pregnant.
You are in your 7th month of pregnancy.
Your 1st trimester: June 18, 2008 to September 16, 2008. (0 - 12 weeks)
Your 2nd trimester: September 17, 2008 to December 30, 2008. (13 - 27 weeks)
Your 3rd trimester: December 31, 2008 to March 25, 2009. (28 - 40 weeks)
Your baby's crown-to-rump length is approximately 10 inches and the total length of your growing baby is around 15.75 inches. Your baby weighs about 2.4 pounds at this point. Your uterus is a little more than 3 inches above your bellybutton. Your weight gain at this time should be between 17 and 24 pounds.
Blood vessel in the umbilical cord. For several months, the umbilical cord has been the baby's lifeline to the mother. Nourishment is transferred from the mother's blood, through the placenta, and into the umbilical cord to the baby. If the mother ingests any toxic substances, such as
drugs or
alcohol, the baby receives these as well!
You will probably begin visiting your caregiver once every two weeks. Week 28 is an important week for testing. You will probably be having your glucose tolerance test, an iron level test and if you are Rh negative, you should have an antibody test. The antibody test will determine if you and your baby will have any reactions to each other's blood differences. The glucose test will check for gestational diabetes.
Your baby's brain continues to develop and is now forming the folds and grooves of a fully developed brain. The amount of tissues within the brain also continues to increase in large amounts. The hair that covers your baby's scalp is also getting longer. Your baby is now large enough for presentation to be determined and your doctor might be able to find out if your baby is at risk for being breech. If your baby is breech, don't panic. There is still time for the baby to rotate.

Hi girls, I just got back from my ultrasound, and the tech said that there was no cyst on her head, it's gone like the dr. said would. I guess I worried for weeks for no reason, It was amazing seeing her face. I have a picture of it on my profiile. Take a look and see how perfect all of your babies are already. She also weighs 3 pounds and 2 ounces... No wonder I am a PEEING maching. she is also head down, already for delivery. She needs to wait at least another 7 to 8 weeks, but no more. I don't want a huge baby... I also got tons of pictures, SCRAPBOOKING here I come.. Anyways I am going to work on her room today and take some pictures I'll post those latter... Let me know what you think about our little girl if you see her pic....BBYNMBR1 -

horseygal - Did my lie make you feel any better??!!!
In all seriousness, yes it hurts like hell but as long as you have confidence that your body knows what it's doing and won't let you down and keep focused on the fact you will soon get to hug, kiss and smell your beautiful baby it's all so worth it. Believe it or not after I had my second child I really wanted to go through labour again!! I wouldn't recommend you watch birth video's on uTube though, I made that mistake a few weeks ago! ;o). The pain doesn't last forever, don't forget, when a baby is born, so is a mummy... it's a rebirth for you too! Also, you won't care about your dignity during labour as the whole thing is all consuming, even if you did poo, I bet you wouldn't even realise!! Mind you, I'm going for a waterbirth again, I didn't poo last time but still harbour concerns about seeing a huge log float by mid way through!!! ...How do you give yourself an enema anyway??! xCJwaiting4no3 -

Horseygal....take it from me...the experiance of labor is a messy one, but trust the ladies who say, you wont care at the time. This is my third, and the first two were vaginally. One with meds, one without. In the time when it comes to push the baby out, you really wont care what else may be coming out as well....or at least I didnt. My support team is ready to experiance anything...Infact they kinda joke about it, and have asked if you have a BM during the process...I didnt with my last two, but I did tell them I guess it could happen....and if it does, focus on my face for a few moments....
No matter what happens, it is so worth it, and you will not care.....kristin777 -

Horseygal--I'm worried about the aesthetics of labor, as well, but all my friends who have done it before say that will be the least of my concerns when it's actually happening. They're prob right, but I'm still skeptical, lol. Jenny McCarthy talks a bit about her fears of pooping on the table in her pregnancy book. A doctor apparently told her to give herself an enema before going to the hospital if she's worried about it. Hey, guess that's an option :p. sandy127962 -

horseygal unfortunately that is how it goes..without meds of course. I had to have an epidural so my body would relax and dilate so fortunately I did not feel pain. Although I did dilate to a 3 on my own and did not have anything then nor did I feel it. I did not however poop on the table..if that helps some.Mims -

I think in any situation where the parents are not together or not sure what will happen, it makes it hard to decide. Things can be really ugly if you seperate, especially when the grandparents get involved. My sil divorced about 4 years ago and her ex inlaws stuck their noses in and pushed her ex to go for custody. 3 kids) He went all the way to VA to get cops and go get them. The middle one had chose to stay with him anyway. Well it took almost 4 months of her fighting for them.But they do have joint custody and she has to drive the youngest 2 1/2 hours across the state line to meet once a month. IT messed up the oldest one in school, the school where we live near her ex, they did not keep accurate records and he had to repeat 10th grade, he had never failed and is now graduating at 19 instead of 18. I have also seen my Bff go through alot, neither her or her baby daddy have custody and she has fought him 3 or 4 times in mediation to get half and half. HE always takes them because in our state, possession is 9/10 the law. So he has gone as far as to take them without a car seat just to have the upper hand. Oh, and she is still with him, she is throwing my baby shower LOL. But see in alot of cases then mother does not safe guard herself and the child suffers, If you don't add him to the BC, He could still petition for a paternity test later if he does want to fight! SOme women have men who are respectful enough to know that a child needs its mother. My inlaws feel that way! Thank God. I would never take my child away from my hubby no matter what.preggyvegan17 -

horseygal- sorry I can't lie to you :( There is yelling and bleeding and even poo. But it's such an intense incredible situation that you won't even think about it or have time or energy to worry about it. The best advice I got with my first was that dr.s and nurses have literally seen it all, so there is no reason to be embarrassed. And your partner will be so focused on you and the baby that he won't notice either. It's so unbelievably amazing and exciting, it won't seem nearly as gross as reading and watching it- I PROMISE!!

MY BABYS DAD IS NOT SO MUCH A DEAD BEAT I MEAN HE IS AN ASSHOLE BUT FOR THE MOST PART HE IS A GOOD GUY AND I AM ALMOST 100% SURE HE WILL BE APART OF MY SONS LIFE HE NEVER HAD A FATHER IN HIS LIFE. THE ONLY THING I AM WORRIED ABOUT IS MAYBE HIM TRYING TO GET CUSTODY OF HIM SOMETIME DOWN THE ROAD AND I WOULD NEVER TAKE MY SON AWAY FROM HIM HE WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO SEE HIM I JUST DONT WANT TO HAVE TO PUT MY SON IN THIS SITUATION. IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE ASKED ME ABOUT HIS 7 MONTHS AGO I WOULD HAVE NOT THOUGHT TWICE ABOUT IT BUT SINCE I HAVE BEEN PREGGO MY BABYS DAD HAS COMPLETLY TURNED INTO THIS JERK AND HE HAS SHOWN ME A DIFFERENT SIDE OF HIM SO THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES ME THINK TWICE IS I AM NOT REALLY SURE IF HE WOULD TRY TO GET CUSTODY OR NOT HMMM......THIS IS MAKING ME SAD I SERIOUSLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO I JUST WANT WHATS BEST FOR MY SON BUT I AM NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS AT THE MOMENT!! =[horseygal -

babynmbr1: I don't know if anyone ever told you this part or not, i didn't read it if they did... but if you put father unknown on the birth certificate... in most states... it cancels out the fathers rights to the child... he can't sue for custody or visitation until he pays for or has a judge make you pay for a paternity test... my ex husband went thru that... and quite frankly if you are just disgruntled its probably not the best idea... but there are lots of situations where that can be good for the baby but men normally don't get to involved til the baby is out of you (if they're going to be ) because if your not 2gether they don't see the every day baby stuff and on top of that... remember this baby is inside YOU .. not him... lol.. so he doesn't get it quite like we do... not trying to start a new online fight... just emphasizing the level of umph behind leaving the dad off of the birth certificate... :)horseygal -

Hello-
Please think long and hard before you deny putting the fathers name on the birth certificate. I am a school counselor and have worked with a few childen and teens (around six) who do not have their dads name on the certificate, even though they and mom know who he is. They are all resentful of it. There isn't one who feels their mom made the right choice. It is embarrassing and shameful to them. If you really feel that these men are deadbeat losers then ask them to give up their parental rights legally. This way, you are not the one to blame when the little one begins to ask about dad, and they will ask about it. I just see how these well meaning moms have wound up being the bad guy. Also, we live in an area where everyone knows everyones business. Obviously, it is what you think is best. Also, there was a family where a child didn't have a dad on the birth certificate, and the moms new husband wanted to adopt. Anyway, they had to advertise in the local paper as to the situation. The child was mortified! Eventually he was adopted because no one came forward to 'claim' the child. Good luck to you ladies, I know it is a difficult decision to make. On the boobs, I have only gone up a 1/2 cup size which totally sucks because I am in between bras, I'm like a b+ or C-. Ahhh!! The girls are staying jammed into the B cup for now. elliemae -

Just my imput.....
I was married, so obviously took my ex hubbys last name. My two sons out of the marriage also have his last name. This bundle will have my last name. The fathers name will not be hyphenated, or attached to her. The reason I have choosen this is because we are not married, do not live togeather, and he ( babies dad) is more than willing to wait until Juniper is 18, to have a name change if that is what she wishes.And the other factor I took into account was....IF I was to remarry someone, and I would take his last name, the oppertunity to change everyones name is open....once again...just my thoughts and how I am going about it...:)BBYNMBR1 -

The whole name thing kinda confuses me too. My mother was married to my dad and had three children. We all have the same last name. Then they got a divorce and when my mom remarried, she had a different last name and had a son with a different last name. It felt almost if they had their own little family. I was very young when my parents divorced and when my mom remarried, so I grew up knowing my step dad as my dad. I never wanted to ask about the last name situation. I felt ashamed. It seemed as if we belonged to her 'baby daddy' and he had a 'father' even though I acknowledge him as my father. When I turned 10 tragically my mom died and when seperated, I felt like my brother or dad didn't look at us the same. I found out he didn't want to change our last names or legally adopt us as his own children. I think you have to evaluate the dad and what type of person he is and whay type of person you are to give which last name. If me and my boyfriend never get married I don't want to have to answer the question, 'Why aren't our last names the same mom?' one day. Things are probably bound to get worse before they get better. I'm all confuesd....prayin41 -

well i had my fathers last name and i dont ever see him so do my brothers well one of them anyhow the oldest one changed his last name to my mothers last name i dont even know why she gave him my fathers last name he wasnt even his. well the easiest way i could change my last name was to get married lol. so after i had my son i got married to the dady and i told him if we break up im keeping your last name no matter what i dont want my kids to have a different last name as i have that with my mother and it sucks. if you know that the father is not going to be around at the time then dont give him the last name someone stated on here before that if they sign the birth cert then they have equal rights to the childs life and i tell you it not pretty my dad who never really wanted anything from us thought one day it would be fun to cause a stir so he took my mum to court to get custdy of us but he lost thank god long story there.
and it is true that you ant leave the country with out him knowing and he can say no you cant leave and if you meet a man and want to get married then he can put a stop to that guy raising the child the list goes on although he may not want to be there now oneday out of the blue he may just turn up say that he wants to see his kid yea that all good but if you choose not to an he dont have his name on the borth cert them there is nothing he can do but if it is then you have to let him unless you can prove that he is an unfit dad. you can always add his name later on after the baby is born and when he shows interest etc but once you put it on you cant take it off. but if you dont put his name on there you can still let him have rights in some way just by letting him be near is good enough

firstchildlonely - I was single when I had my son at 22. I didn't give him my ex's name, he had my surname. It was a good job I did actually as when I married my husband a few years later I changed my boy's name by deed poll (and didn't need to get his bio father's permission) so it matched my new married name (and his new dads). I couldn't bear the thought of having a different name to my own child but that's just me, not to say it's right. I tend to agree with mims. If you put dad on the birth cert there is the bonus of your baby seeing their own heritage on paper but the negative aspect that the dad will continue to have parental responsibility and may have a say in decisions you're not happy with. It's a tough choice. I did put the dad on the cert as the fact we never married still gave me more rights than him. It's such a special feeling when it's just the two of you (you and babs), I have such a stong bond with my son because of our 'us time'. Good luck to all you strong independant women doing it alone. xxBBYNMBR1 -

I agree.. i dont want him on the birth certificate either but i feel like if that is bein a 'B' if you know what i mean.. and since his family is more than willing to be there for her i know it will hurt them and then they may get angry.. i dont want too either take him for child support because then he can fight me for her and all that and im very over protective also and im so scared of her actually being born because i know its gonna be alot of problems and ill have to depend more on my family to help me with watching her and i hate been dependent on ppl so i already applied for cash assistance and the LINK card and im on the medical card and WIC as it is.. and they help you with child day care also but being that she will be only 2 months when i go back to work im scared to put her in daycare so early especially since im from Chicago the places are not so nice around here.. for the mothers who are in love and not going thru this i envy you lol... i wish you guys the best and please do watever it takes to make it work and dont push him away :) Mims -

firstchildlonely, What I would do is have my child have my last name. I would also not even put his name in the birth certificate. If you are living alone, independant, working, etc... Why add him and ask for his support? If he hasn't really been there for the pregnancy? IF you add him then you will need his consent to travel with the baby, etc... So, I say, don't include him in any of the legal stuff. IF he wants to be involved with the baby let him, but without having him in any of the paperwork. Just my opinion. I think I am overly protective and would rather do everything by myself than ask for child support and as a result 'owe' him some time with my child which he seems he hasn't helped outmuch during the pregnancy. As things change in the future, then maybe consider adding him but for now, it should be just you and baby. (by the way, he shouldn't need a court order to ask him for child support he should help you financially either way if he wants to be with you and is serious). SillyMom -

firstchildlonely- I understand the independent thing, I would put your last name on the birth certificate and if later things did work out and he wanted to be on it, then you could change her last name in time for school. My cousin did that, although she still has not changed her sons name. They have been married for about 5 years but are not consistantly together so she never changed it. he is there for his son, just not by name. As far as court, Apply for whatever your local government suggests. FIRSTCHILDLONELY -

it seems like im one of the few ladies in the site who is not with the babys father but not because of anything really bad or he left me or anything just for the simple fact that i am 20 which is young very independent have my own house, car, job and all that and a full time student and grad next yr with my 2nd degree.. so as far as im concerned i dont need a man to lean on and i dont want to just be with him because of the baby.. he really wants to be together and is 30 so i understand he wants to settle down but im young and want to do me for a few years and just have time for me and my daughter you know.. mommy and me time.. he hasnt exactly been thr for me throughout my pregnancy and have done everything myself so far because he thinks that becuz i choose to not be with him then he shouldnt have to be thr for me but once i go back to him he will be more than willing to be there for watever i need and even stop working which i refuse! but i am confused about what to do with the whole court process or if i should even take him.. he says hes goign to be thr for the baby but if he hasnt been thr so far then will he be thr for her? i just dont want to expect that hes going to be around then get hurt when he isnt you know? I am not even giving the baby his last name but my own because we are not married and if he chooses to not be apart of her life i wont have any problems with anything and since i am the one taking care of her she should have my last name to make things easier with medical, school and all that stuff. but i want to take him to court so he has to see her basically and so i will get child support because i know once the baby is here its gonna be pretty difficult and i just want security which is a big thing for me.. wat should i do?? just very confused and want other ppls opinions except for my familys and his familysjayrodmarie22 -

JACQUELINETURNER: Re your concerns with introducing a bottle, I had exactly the same with my 2 children. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get back to work as they simply refused anything but the breast. They never did have a bottle and went straight to a cup after about 6-9 months but it was a very stresful situ. I spent a fortune on 'breast like' bottles which simply didn't work!! I am determined not to let that happen again and so intend to offer expressed milk in a bottle (as well as breastfeed) from a few weeks old. Hopefully then baby will be used to both and won't put up such a fight when it's time to get back to work.prayin41 -

Thanks everyone, this morning he reassured me that he does love me, I told him I did not doubt that, I just wonder how he sees me. HE has always been careful about things. He watches out for me and stuff and I know he loves me, I just miss him showing me, but I know he works everyday lately and he is not home either. I actually felt like I envied my sis in law because at least her boyfriend tells her she is beautiful all the time. Man, what I would give for a percentage of that LOL. My DH has always been quiet though. I know I have a good man, but these changes to my body make it hard to accept, I told him I know it is for a good reason, I gotta deal for 2 more months plus some. I did feel her foot last night, I had my hand on my side and I felt her stretch out and the foot went down my stomach, it was cool, she is laying side to side alot, I feel her head on my right side when I get still and she goes to sleep. Yesterday I fell asleep on the couch and he woke me up and layed down with me for a hour, When I moved from the couch my feet were swolen and my stomach was hard, she was sleeping, then of course woke up when I layed in bed LOL. Hey on another note, what detergent are all of you using on the baby clothes? And are you washing them even if they are new? DH told me just to wash the used ones.AmbrN81 -

Maybe your DH is the quiet type that doesn't comment or the oblivious kind that doesnt notice anything different? I too was a 34 barely B was more like it and have gone up to a C. I personally love it. I always felt weird about the lack of BBs and I am enjoying the change :-) My tummy is starting to expand and now they are looking smaller again since i think my tummy is overpassing the BBs (i.e. the widest part of my belly's circumference is bigger than my BBs) But you look perfectly proportioned.
