Born & Birth stories

Dates and numbers:
There are 80 days until your due date on February 13, 2010.
You are 200 days pregnant.
You are 6.6 months pregnant.
You are in your 7th month of pregnancy.
Your 1st trimester: May 09, 2009 to August 07, 2009. (0 - 12 weeks)
Your 2nd trimester: August 08, 2009 to November 20, 2009. (13 - 27 weeks)
Your 3rd trimester: November 21, 2009 to February 13, 2010. (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.

pleased Db you still with us. I do feel very protective of all you girls in here too and i ve never met any of you so funny! NOt sure what my lil man is weighing in at. but ive been having the worst BH cant sleep . baby is kicking like mad.. iam worried he is kicking too much and he is too active that he has ADD or something.! are we meant to be getting such painful BH at 7 months? his head is already down there in my pelvis too feels like he never moves from there.. i hope iam not squishing his head!

2ndtimemommy- yeah they mentioned the simplicity crib it is made by the same company or something. In the county next to mine they banned all cribs that drop at the side but I'm wondering if maybe the few cribs that caused death were because people didn't fix them right....I mean, me and my twin brother both slept in cribs like that, along with my little brother and we are still alive. My daughter also sleeps in the crib, when she's not sleeping in my bed, and she's also fine, of course that's not a good enough logic to go by when we are talking about the lives of our babies, but my crib was put together with lots of love and my boyfriend made sure to read the manual and everything seems to be tight and in place. See the problem is that I bought the crib,changing table and dresser all in one and I'm scared to have to give back all three, with an active baby and a big pregnant belly, work and classes I have no time or energy to scratch my back much less take everything back and my boobe works all day to provide for us so he can't seem to find the time either, I'm just going to fing out the phone number and try to call and see what they tell me to do...

Uggggghhhh!! My maternity clothes all fit fine and have plenty of space for more belly but for some reason at the moment I just can't stand having clothes on! Haha not that I walk around starkers, but as soon as I get home, off comes everything, bra included and on goes one of my hubby's old t-shirts and a pair of his boxers. So good!!!

2ndtimemommmy - 2.1 hours ago
hotmama, I'm not sure of the simplicity cribs, were they made by storkcraft? I know they went under a lot of names apparently. Mine is one of the recalled ones though.... GRRR!!!

piglet2686 - 3 hours ago

piglet2686 - 3 hours ago

hotmama88 - 4.3 hours ago
Does anyone have a simplicity crib, I bought one from Walmart about 15 months ago and now I hear that they're being recalled. I don't want to deal with all this mess but obviously my childs safty is the most important. Arrrg why can't everything be perfect and life be super easy?!! :P

babytoorop - 5.6 hours ago

nicki90 - 7.8 hours ago
babytoorop: i know what u mean- i liked him at first but he is one of those guys that is like 'hey look at me - im really really really gay!!!!' - like i said i have absolutly NOTHING against gay people but when they try to make a big deal out of it for attention - it gets annoying!

matthewsmommy10 - 8 hours ago
So I was making a green bean casserole and I went to put it in the oven and while bending down my stomach hit the oven door and it almost burned my arm really really bad... I pulled my arms out so fast, a haven't moved that fast in a loooong time! lol, it only gave me a little burn... I'm not used to such a big tummy!!!

babytoorop - 8.8 hours ago
today my mom and dad took me shopping to get the travel system and crib bedding. also picked out what crib i want unfortunately they were sold out for the time being but i am getting so excited! when we got back we opened the crib bedding so we could look at everything and my mom's dog wanted to get in on the fun. we put the bumper on teh floor standing up like it is supposed to go in the crib and he was jumping over the sides and showing off. it was cute! and anyone else getting tired of seeing adam lambert everywhere?? and i mean EVERYWHERE

jcarlan - 8.9 hours ago
OK...kinda disenchanted with being pregnant these days! Even some of my maternity clothes are too tight! I'm very testy today. Just sent my 6 yr old upstairs for, get this, running around, giggling, and overall being a happy child. I told her she was being too loud.... ah...pregnancy.....

jcarlan - 9 hours ago
jeffswife~you did the right thing. If,as an adult, she can't understand that it's just a mistake and that he will fix it asap, she has a problem. I know the $ is probably all she cares about, but being nasty to you isn't going to help the situation at all. I'd tell your hubby to work on straightening it out asap so she would chill out......you did the right thing! If you told her where he works, she may even show up there!

jeffswife - 9.6 hours ago
I need to vent. My hubby has two children from two previous relationships. One text me today that she is not getting child support. I tell her that I don't know why not cuz they are taking a lot of money out of his checks. All the money must be going to the other child and we will work it out. She kept asking where he worked and I didn't tell her. I told her that if he didn't tell her it wasn't my place to do so. He is my husband and I won't go against him. The bitch went off on me. I just don't know what is wrong with her. I try to be nice and supportive but she always starts with me.

jeffswife - 9.6 hours ago
irish - yes we are the same date! its boring the first couple of days huh. lol. otr - how much longer do you have to be in the hospital? why can't you go home on bedrest?

dlbailey - 9.8 hours ago
OTR: Love 'BUGS' to you!!

overtherainbow - 10 hours ago
I am so lonely tonight...I just want to be in my own bed, snuggled up next to DH. I miss him and my little dog. :( I don't think I can take one more day here!

dlbailey - 10 hours ago
Speaking of leaky boobs....Mine started 3 days ago when I got out of the shower. I was worried I wasn't going to be able to BF so I was happy. I was going to go with Dr Brown's but the reviews said they leak along with Avent so I am going to try the BornFree ones.

dlbailey - 10.1 hours ago
Irishgirl: I am still here. Sorry for the absence in the chats....we have been house hunting for weeks now in between work and we finally found a place last week. Now I am cleaning the new house and packing the old house LOL It's been NON stop. I think I might get a break going to work tomorrow ;) Thanks for checking up on me!!

mandy125 - 10.8 hours ago
If you are worried the baby is not kicking enough a friend of mine told me to lay down on your side in bed - no noise, no tv, and count the kicks and movements, even subtle ones. As long as you have 6-10 in a 2 hour period all is fine... if not call your doc and they will order a stress test. I was freaking out and did this and it was very reassuring.

ralphie - 11.1 hours ago
I loved the Medella brand nursing pads. I didn't like the gerber ones--- they weren't think enough.

Mandykat760 - 11.3 hours ago
I registered for 2 types of bottles, but I got a dryer for one brand and the bottles for the other. I also got random refills for another bottle. I need to sit down and figure out what needs to go back and what needs to stay. Fun! I also need to do thank you cards. I hate thank you cards I said thank you when I got the gift!

Mandykat760 - 11.3 hours ago
Rachael hasn’t been on in a few weeks either. It weird how I worry about people who I don’t even know their names. We have been chatting for about 20+ weeks now and u feel like u get to know people.

ashleefern - 11.4 hours ago
Ok thank you. I will have to take a look at a few.

irishgirl44 - 11.8 hours ago
monstababy and Dhbaily your girls still here? you have been very quiet?

irishgirl44 - 11.8 hours ago
week 29 tomorrow.. i get so excited going to another week. but when do the rest of you move over.miss you guys when i go alone. jeffs wife your the same day as me right?

matthewsmommy10 - 11.9 hours ago
I used the playtex and I loved them! With the drop ins they are super easy to clean!!! OTR, I wouldn't worry about leaking.. Usually it takes 3 days or so for your milk to come in

NEWMUMMYLOCKET - 12.4 hours ago
So 2morrow I have 5 weeks until I finish work cant wait!! xx

irishgirl44 - 12.4 hours ago
thanks mr bean i think i might just keep it simple and not put anything up.

tinkerbell319 - 12.5 hours ago
Oh by any chance does anyone remember the website where u can buy headbands that comes the hair attached. Someone gave us the site bout 3 months ago. I can't seem to find it.

1stmr.bean - 12.6 hours ago
For my decorations, my friend made diaper cakes and wrapped the bottom 'layer' with a blanket and placed a topper on each. she also put up random banners announcing 'it's a boy'. In my opinion, don't go overboard and spent tons of money of decorations. I am definitely not the party planner! anyone have ideas for decorations? Balloons, streamers, table cloths, centerpieces, and simple creativeness go a long way, but unfortunately not with me.

tinkerbell319 - 12.6 hours ago
I found these bottles at Target made by the first years. It has breastflow technology. It's supposed to be ideal for breast feeding moms. The nipple is supposed to very close to a mothers nipple. I will be trying those ones. If those don't work for her I plan to use Dr. Browns.

robbinsnest - 12.7 hours ago
OTR- I buy my nursing bras from Target or JC Pennys. They have so many to choose from. The stretchy gym/workout bras are very comfortable. As for nursing pads, its according to how bad you leak. I have to use thicker ones because I leak really bad when my milk comes in. Majority of people don't leak until after their milk comes in, a few days after the baby is born. I have never leaked till then myself.

Jane81 - 12.9 hours ago
OTR, I heard diapers.com is good.

irishgirl44 - 12.9 hours ago
thanks OTR , well hang in there girlie..keep those legs closed! Mr bean sounds like you have it sussed with your baby showers what decorations do i need to get ??

buninoven09 - 12.9 hours ago
28 weeks today,times going quickly..for now,lol :)but still doesnt quite feel like the home stretch to me yet.Third trimester feels good though :) xo

1stmr.bean - 13 hours ago
I'm going to use Dr. Browns for the supplemental feeding, or maybe the feeding altogether. They are supposed to reduce colic and gas in babies. My friedn swears by them, but she too says they are a pain to clean! on the subject of squirting, my mother said she squirted like a fountain the first time she showered after delivery! I really hope my milk comes in the quickly, and comes out that easily! Kind of embarrassing though depending on the situation!

overtherainbow - 13.1 hours ago
No, no leaky boob yet. I'm just afraid it's going to start while I am here, and unprepared.

overtherainbow - 13.1 hours ago
IG44: doc said 80% survival rate at 28 weeks with a 20% chance of long term complications. Yes, each week it gets a little better. He said at 32 weeks it jumps up to 90% chance of survival.

1stmr.bean - 13.1 hours ago
IG-There can be lots of work involve with throwing a shower, but it all depends on how much effort u put into it. Last weekend was my shower and my 'host' said she would host it 50% and I would have to do the rest. i spent about $150 total of decorations and food and she did the same. There were about 25 guests and I was really surprised with the nice, and expensive, stuff I got. All I need now are bottles, bibs, burp cloths, and a few other miscellaneous necessities! You will have so much fun showering your baby! I have another shower next weekend, but more of an intimate gathering~!

irishgirl44 - 13.1 hours ago
ive heard of dr browns too there meant to be good .. OTR why would you be squirting all over the place? do you have leaky boobs already? I am getting BH all the time every day.. when i lie down they go away but if i stand up its uncomfortable is this normal? should i get it checked up? baby is fine kicking when i lie down .. guess it just stepped up a knotch! as for baby sites mother care (but dont know if you have that) i think my sites maybe different to yours over there though. wish i had victoria secrets over here miss that shop!

overtherainbow - 13.2 hours ago
My baby gets the hiccups every morning and evening...they even caught her on the monitor the other morning hiccuping. Does anyone else feel this??

overtherainbow - 13.2 hours ago
I registered for Dr. Brown's bottles...all of my girlfriends used them. Said their a pain in the a$$ to clean, but so worth it. I hope they're right.

overtherainbow - 13.2 hours ago
Robbinsnest: You're right, it's actually the breastfeeding part I'm worried about,it's leading up to that. Like the nursing brad and pads. I know nothing about that, and haven't ever even tried one on. I don't want to wake up one day here at the hospital - squirting all over the place. LOL. Any suggestions??

overtherainbow - 13.3 hours ago
IG44: that's what i have started to do, online shopping from my bed...beats waiting in long lines - haha. Although it does kind of kill me to pay the shipping charges when I know I could typically buy it directly from the store without all of those charges. Have you found any good baby sites???
