Born & Birth stories



You are now in your second trimester! Your baby's crown to rump length is 3.2 to 4.5 inches long and he weighs approximately 1 ounce now. Your baby is about the size of the average fist.

Now that you are into your second trimester, you may be starting the best part of your pregnancy. You will probably start to feel more energetic and you may get the `pregnancy glow`. Your uterus is beginning to swell week by week and you can follow its progress by locating the top of the uterus. The position of the top of the uterus will continue to gradually move up your abdomen, from beneath the pubic line to above your navel. Maternity clothes are probably necessary now. You might also experience hemorrhoids, which are painful dilated blood vessels around or inside the anus.

Bones are formingAt this time, your baby's face is becoming more developed. The cheeks and bridge of his nose appear and the ears move from the sides of his neck to much higher on his head. The eyes continue to come closer together. A big development from this week onward is the development of lanugo. Lanugo is the fine hair that grows over almost your entire baby. The hairs grow in whirled patterns that follow the grain of his skin. These patterns later give way to your baby's fingerprints. The lanugo will be shed before birth and replaced by thicker, coarser hairs. Your baby's thyroid gland has matured and starts to produce hormones. If your baby is a boy, the prostate will appear and the ovaries descend from the abdomen into the pelvis in baby girls.

If you are having the Chorionic Villus sampling test (to check for Down's syndrome) it's done round about now.

The embryo`s soft cartilage is now being replaced with ` real` chalk bones.

Your baby has eyebrows, but no eyelashes. Fine, light hair also begins to grow.

Hello week 14 only 17 more days til i see my baby in 3D xx

bdubb - 3 days ago
Awe thanks Kathleen and Waiting to exhale. I know you are so right...just those dang pregnancy emotions take over sometimes. I am feeling much better today. :)

kathleen112 - 3 days ago
Awww bdubb don't feel bad about your reaction. We react the way we react, it doesn't mean you're going to love this baby any less. Plus you already have a son so you know how incredible that bond is. As of Friday's ultrasound I think I'm carrying a boy too. I have a son and this is the last baby we plan on having so I thought I'd be really disappointed if it wasn't a little girl but I feel happy. I love the idea of my son having a brother. At least you have your little girl. :-) I have a niece and some of my close friends have girls...having them in my life will have to suffice and I'm fine with that.

waitingtoexhale - 4 days ago
Bdubb- Happy belated Birthday!! It really is so crazy w all these dang hormones! Don't let the initial disappointment get to u. We all know that healthy baby is the biggest blessing n once ur baby is here u fall madly in love with them anyway. Glad a little shopping lifted ur spirits. I find out gender June 11th. I might b in the same boat if I see girl parts. Haha. Don't truly care though except for health. :)

bdubb - 5 days ago
So yesterday was my birthday so I said why not go to try to find out the gender at one of those commercial places. I have a 5 year old boy and 18 month old girl and really had a feeling this baby was a girl. Well he surprised us with some boy parts. I cried. I really wanted my girl to have a sister and it would be so much easier to have the same gender children close in age. I know it is so petty but when you are pregnant its so hard to control your emotions. After a few hours I am feeling better. I think it was worse cause I really just thought it was a girl. I don't know why I guess I am always wrong! A little shopping trip to Carter's and I feel a lot better, but gotta admit I am still a little disappointed for right now. We are so blessed to have a healthy baby and that is what matters I know that. It might just take me a few days.

kathleen112 - 6 days ago
Well ladies I had an OB appt this morning and we took a look at the bean. We think we saw boy bits!! I thought I'd be disappointed but my only reaction was happiness. How cool for my boy to get a brother ;-) It's not definite but I feel pretty confident in what I saw.

loopylou27 - 8 days ago
I havnt been on for over a week :/ been super busy! Hope everyone is well! I'm 27 and live in the uk have been married to my husband for 4 years together for 8yrs we have 3 girls 5,3 and 1yrs old I work full time at a social club (which is already killing me lol all the late nights) I'm already counting down the next 13 weeks for when I leave on maternity leave haha bump is definitely showing now although more at night too And tiredness is harsh still we have our gender scan in 11 days so excited to see if we are getting another girl or if we will finally get to join team blue :)

hopingfor - 8 days ago
,waiting, I have two boys. Live my boys to death. Everyone says this is the girl, although I think it's a boy. I am not sure if I want a girl or a boy. Very happy with boys so guess iit will be what's twill be.

waitingtoexhale - 8 days ago
Kathleen- that is crazy! Dragon- I only have one person that told me recently she's due 3 days after me- and it's my sister, too! We live in different states, but everyone in the family says we must have planned it. I am happy that once again my child will have a cousin close in age. Hoping- that's a tough one. I'll pray for something to help you feel at ease and decide. Do you have other kids? (Not that that's always a help. I have a boy and want another one. haha)

hopingfor - 8 days ago
5 days until I see my bud, and I can't wait. I am so anxious to see all the changes. Still deciding whether to find out sex or not. The decision alone is killing me. I'm not sure ifim ready for the answer which will solidify the sex. I also don't know if I prefer ne sex over the other. I just know that I am super confused. Anyone else feels like this? Monday can't come soon enough.

Dragonsoccermom*teamBLUE* - 9 days ago
Kathleen- that's hysterical! I have 3 friends that are due pretty close, like within 3 weeks,(1 of which is my sister) but nobody on my day. I think we were all at the same party.

kathleen112 - 9 days ago
So the craziest thing happened yesterday. Hubby and I have been waiting to tell as many people in person as we can. Friends of ours just moved back to the East Coast from California and stopped at our place on their way from NY to DC. Not only is our friend pregnant too but we're due on the same day!! Same LMP date, same PPT date, everything. What are the odds??!?! We were joking with them that since we spent New Years together clearly our cycles must have synced up lol. Anyway what isn't the same is that the poor girl has been vomiting pretty much nonstop for 14 weeks with no relief yet. She said she was pretty sick with her first baby but not to this extent. I feel terrible for her (and any of you ladies who experienced bad MS). My last pregnancy was easy breezy and this one has (pretty much) followed suit. Feeling very lucky.

waitingtoexhale - 9 days ago
Week 14!!! So happy to b here! Just wish this Horrible Cold would go away or at least let up! Can't sleep, headaches, congestion, noseblowing. Uuugh!! But as lng as LO is ok, no worries. This too shall pass.

unsure1108 - 10 days ago
Hi, I'm 29, this would be my 3rd pregnancy. Have a 9yr girl and 5 yr boy. This time its high risk, trying not to give my hopes up because its been rough since the very beginning. It really sucks not knowing what will happen from day to day..

leezel - 10 days ago
hopingfor- I also am suffering from being tired all the time again :( it really sucks when you fall asleep and then its too late to turn in your homework... I just want to sleep all the time and if i cant i am a cranky lady :(

hopingfor - 10 days ago

Welcome Rhonda! This is my third child too! How are you feeling about this pregnancy? I'm not as excited as the first two times for some reason, but am excited for my son and daughter having another play mate!

milkyway - 11 days ago
Hey everyone I just found and heard my baby's heartbeat for the first time with my Doppler! It's at 144bpm. Very exciting! I just made a recording and messaged it to my DH, we spent about 30 mins trying to find it last week, but couldn't!

hopingfor - 11 days ago
Oh Rhonda, how exciting. Welcome and congrats. What did you have before?

rhonda879 - 11 days ago
Hi I am new to this site :) I went for an ultrasound at 14 weeks 3 days and they told me I am most likely having a girl. This is my 3rd child. So excited.

bdubb - 11 days ago
Hi I am Brooke and am 33 years old. I have been married for 6 years and have know my husband since high school. This is my 4 th pregnancy. I have a 5 year old Son, then a mc in 2009 and a 18 month old daughter. I work in corporate banking And travel a lot for my job. Travel while pregnant is always interesting. The same thing has been happening to me where I am huge at night and smaller in the morning. I didn't show till my 5 month last pregnancies but am already starting to show

hopingfor - 11 days ago
Happy Mother's Day to all you beautiful mums, and mums to be! Hope your day proves o be as special as I am sure all of you are. Being a mother is truly a special gifts in itself.

rebcatken - 12 days ago
Hi, I am 33, i am from New Orleans and this is my third pregnancy (counting the m/c in July 2010) and second baby. I used to work in IT, I would basically wait for someone's computer to break and fix it. Boring stuff. After my son was born (nov. 2011) I did not go back. I love staying with him and I am grateful to be able to do so. Kudos to all the working moms out there, I don't know how you do it. We are expecting this baby in early November and we will find out the sex in five weeks. I have the same thing going on with my belly, it seems huge at night, but by the morning it shrinks back up. Also since I've been through a pregnancy already, I things are just all stretch out now so I am showing sooner. The way I look now at 14 weeks is what I looked like at 20 weeks the first time.

hopingfor - 13 days ago
I am looking very pregnant that's for sure. Anything I wear not matter how loose or fitted is like a microscope to my tummy. With both my boys. Didn't show till about 5-6 months in, and even the I was super small. Looks like his is definitely shaping out o be a very different preg experience. My mom keeps saying, well you are on your third baby, so everything is a lot looser. I guess she's right. It's official I have put on 6lbs since the pregnancy. Quite frightening to know I have 26 more weeks to put n weight. Eek! On a brighter note counting down the days till my next appointment. 9 days!!! Can't wait.

luv4lukas - 13 days ago
Sorry I'm a little late on the mini bio. I'm Kaelyn I'm 28, just got married on Feb 9th of this year and conceived a week later on our honeymoon on V-day! :) I have a 4 yr old son and my husband has a 5 yr old daughter. Those two definitely make life interesting! They've known each other since they were 1 and 2 and pretty much are brother and sister. We're expecting our first child together Nov 8th and I already know its a boy :) I definitely AM showing, but I can very easily hide it if I want to.

milkyway - 13 days ago
Hello everyone, are we all sharing a little about ourselves? I think I must be the odd one out here being from the UK! I'm 30 and have been married to my dh 6.5 years. We have 2 children, one daughter (5) and one son (1). I am a scientist but left my job before ds was born to concentrate on my family.

Ok I have a really disgusting problem and I've googled it and apparently it can sometimes happen in pregnancy. I've been getting extra ear wax problems....yuck. Apparently high progesterone can cause this to happen. It's really really disgusting and I'm constantly cleaning my ears but it just builds up again. Is anyone else having this problem? Yuck.

waiting4number3 - 13 days ago
It is so nice to hear a little about everyone! Tamara I hope you are feeling better soon!

Hello! My name is Miriam I'm 25 and I've been married for 7 years to Jaime (yes! I got married when I was 18). We have a 3 year old daughter and the second on the way. I'm originally from Guadalajara Mexico and currently live in Houston Tx. I work as an account executive for some radio and TV stations. I don't think I'll be able to continue working after this baby because it's a lot of stress.

Awe! How exciting Ali!

ali*l - 14 days ago
Awwww! Feeling some really good movements the past two days! I was nursing my daughter last night and Baby B didn't like big sister sitting on top of her/him! And Baby A had been bouncing around the last hour. Amazing. :)

leezel - 14 days ago
I hate it when your just sitting there and next thing u know your crotch feels really heavy... still losing weight. I did quit soda when I got pregnant so that will help lose weight but still down 3 lbs

hopingfor - 15 days ago
I'm showing for sure. I was 114lbs per pregnancy, and now weighing about 120lbs. Like yukathleen, my tummy looks bigger at night, I guess cuz t has the collection of food I consumed all day, bu when I wake p it doesn't look as round. I find that his pregnancy I am putting most weight in my hips and lower belly. I am already finding my clothes tight, something very new for e, as I didn't show or have tightness in clothes until about 5-6 mths in pregnancy my last two times. I've decided t to think too much not it ough, it's pregnancy and that's what it is all about. A Lil baba inside is making me grow, couldn't thnk of a better reason to put n weight.

kathleen112 - 15 days ago
I'm still waiting for this belly to round out...at the end of the day if I've eaten a lot (which is many days lol) I look a little pregnant but when I wake up in the morning it's gone down a lot. I have put on prob 7 or 8 lbs all over though and that definitely shows.

kathleen112 - 15 days ago
I'm 34 and live in southern NJ, not far from Philadelphia. I have a 2 1/2 year old son. I'm a physical therapist and specialize in geriatrics and stroke rehab. I feel very lucky to be able to only work part time, 2 days a week because it gives me a great balance between career and home. At the end of the month my husband and I will be married 5 years.

hopingfor - 15 days ago
I am 29 years old, live in Trinidad (which is in the caribbean. This is my 3rd pregnancy, and baby. I have an almost 5 year old son, and a 2 and a half year old son. Been married now for 7 years this may 13th. This pregnancy was a surprise but I am very excited about baby no. 3. Still trying to decide if to find or gender as I have an appointment in 12 days. Anyways I work with kids with learning disabilities, dyslexia and attention disorders. That's pretty much the just of it I guess. Nice to hear a Lil about everyone

ali*l - 15 days ago
Nice to hear some details about you all! My bump is huge and growing fast! I'm so nervous how big I'll be! I look like I'm 20 weeks. I'm measuring like I'm 20 weeks. I'm more concerned with how long my body can keep in two babies!

leezel - 15 days ago

girl from ab (erin) - 15 days ago
I'm Erin, I am 25 years old. I have a 2.5 year old son. My Oh and I have been together a year and a half. He is also my sons biological father.. Confused? Lol well we were a fling when I was 22 and got pregnant. He was not involved at all the entire pregnancy or birth. He was semi involved the first year but not like he should have been. We slowly worked on things and decided to give a relationship a try when our son was 13 months old. Now we are expecting nimber 2 and I am so happy!

waiting4number3 - 15 days ago

ali*l - 15 days ago
I am 29. I have a 4 yo son and 22 month old daughter, expecting twins! My husband and I will celebrate our 5 yr wedding anniversary this Sept. I am a SAHM, and very happy that I get to be home with my kids. Although, I do look forward to when they are all in school and I can go back to school or work. My MFM won't let us go beyond 38 weeks so these two little sweeties are due to arrive by Oct 22nd. I'm hoping and praying we make it that long!

ali*l - 15 days ago
Do you all want to share something about your life? How old are you, how many children/pregnancies, job, etc? Thought it'd be nice for us to get to know each other. :)
