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.

Okay I have decided I will be in between here and 18 weeks until the 10 when I have my ultrasound and actually know If I am really 18 weeks or having twins and am still 14 weeks! I think I am really 18 weeks cuz of my LMP might have just been my body doing its normal routine without dispensing the implanted egg. As far as I know my mom her twin and my cousin bled while prego. And also because at the docs only found 1 heart beat. Still have Ms but more energy, and If you didn't know I was prego you wouldn't be able to tell either. Guess that's genetic too... Yay! Wish me luck ladies as I do for all of you and I am praying for all everyday... Let you know what happens...

I felt the baby move again last night. So far the only times have been when I am laying in bed at night. I felt the popcorn feeling again and grabbed my doppler and sure enough the heartbeat was right were I felt the movement and the baby's heartbeat was high!! I guess the two glass of tea I had with dinner, the caffeine really got baby a shakin and a movin! lol

hisb-daygift - 1.8 hours ago
JaneP- well you might be in luck If your baby is positioned right. There have been women in here that she found out at 11 weeks and even 10... The percentage chance of it being right is just lower. Hope this has helped you on your ?... And hope everything is okay with you, and good luck. =)

JaneP - 6.7 hours ago
Can the doctor determine the gender of the baby as early as week 13? Is there possibilities that there can be mistake from girl to boy after few more weeks from week 13? Do anybody there experienced such mistake?

Hi everyone, you all have chosen gorgeous names for the babies, God bless! The names my hubby and i have decided on are Misha for a girl and Daniel for a boy. I was told by my OB on the 31st that the baby is most likely a Boy but we will confirm it on another ultasound on the 28th of Nov, so i guess we are most probebly going to be having baby Daniel, cant wait. Any way i am feelin alot more energetic this week and my m/s has subsided substantially. I'm also very excited bout startin week 15 tomorrow, yey! see you guys there:)

Sassy Lu - 18.1 hours ago
The names me and my boo have picked so far..and were hoping 2 stick with them.. are Hunter Lee for a boy and Paige Leigh for a girl. We chose lee/leigh as a middle name because that's his middle name and he likes it lol so I got to pick 1st. He got middle and baby takes his last =)

1timegrandma - 18.7 hours ago
My daughter likes Alecia for a girl and Alex for a boy..

amber242 - 19.4 hours ago
our names are Hannah Kay- hannah meaning grace of god and kay is both my mom and my MIL's middle name... or Jeremiah Daniel. Just love the name Jeremiah which is a hebrew name just as Elijah & Hannah and Daniel after my husband. If it's a boy his nickname will be J.D. I cann't frickin wait!!!!!!!!!!

ashley-blesseddaily - 19.9 hours ago
Oh and just to share....morning sickness has left me alone for a while now. AMEN!! Thank goodness, fingers crossed it stays away. And more good news.....I have actually had the desire and energy to be intimate with hubby last week or so, which hasn't been happening much in the last couple months! He is VERY happy! : )

JenMN - 20 hours ago
We like the name Cole for a boy and Lauren for a girl. We haven't been able to agree on middle names yet, though. Our ultrasound is December 7th...I'd like to keep the sex a surprise, but DH wants to know. I guess it is easier to bond with the baby and more seriously think of names when you know the sex.

ashley-blesseddaily - 20.3 hours ago
Oh we like Noah too but can not find anyhing we liek that goes with it....

ashley-blesseddaily - 20.3 hours ago
Hey girls, just wanted to join in on the name fun...again! lol We like Nathaniel Rey for a boy -Nathaniel means gift from God and Rey after my hubby which means King. I really like it, my husband is teh one one who actually came up with it. And for a girl he only names we agree on so far is Isabel and Sophia. 26 weeks to go....I am sure we will change our mind in the meantime! lol

opsbabymama - 21.7 hours ago
hey ladies. well I dont get to find out the sex until december 14th which will make me twenty weeks. So it seems some of us are in the same boat...I have had my name picked out since i first found out. lol If we have a girl it will be Maia Lynn and if it is a boy it will be Robert Joseph...Lynn is for my momma and Robert Joseph is my FIL name...

1st time mommy 5.4.10 - 22.5 hours ago
yeah...I am still working on my hubby for the boy name...well sad but true he is not really into this pregnacy so I am pretty sure I will get my way...he has 3 kids already 2 that live w/us and he feels he should be almost done..not starting over...oh well I am still happier then I have EVER been about this baby...and I have enough love to give this lil one!!! :-)

amber242 - 22.8 hours ago
1st time mommy, love both names, esp. the boy name :-) My husband didn't want Elijah at first but I finally got what I wanted... YAY for Eli lol

ashleyd23 - 23 hours ago
Thanks for commenting on the weight gain/loss issue, I feel better and I am going to pass the info along to my sister! Have a great day ladies!

supermammy123 - 23.5 hours ago
yes i agree more water does keep headaches at bay. i hate water aswell lol so its hard to have the 8 cups that im supposed to have in 1 day :-)

commongoal - 1 days ago
Yes, Yes, Yes....for headaches definitely try increasing the amount of water you are drinking (per my doctor). I know it's hard for some of you. I use to hate WATER, just couldn't do it BUT I passed a kidney stone about a year ago and I NEVER want to feel that pain again...that was my cure. I drink water religiously now. Just like DOUBLEE, I get headaches if I am lacking water with this pregnancy. I normally drink 10-12 cups of water a day and rare headaches for me. Thought I mention that I suffer from migraines normally so I know what headaches are. Increase water intake ladies, it's sooooo good for you and your babies overall =)

1st time mommy 5.4.10 - 1 days ago
Well the names I have r Samira Jenae or (amber242 u will like this 1) Elijah Darius..still waiting for hubby to agree on the boy name

1st time Mommy- I have names picked out, Hayleigh Rose if it's a girl and Aric Christopher if it's a boy. I have to wait until December 14th before I get to find out. I give props to anyone that can wait to find out what they are having....there is no way that I could. Congrats ladies!

shyangel0295 - 1 days ago
Ashley- I am in week 14 and I've lost 5 pounds already. My doctor says that is normal until about week 20 then they want you to start gaining. This is my second pregnancy and I didn't gain anything with my first baby. Actually by my 6 week check up after I had him I had lost 40lbs through the whole pregnancy.

1st time mommy 5.4.10 - 1 days ago

Sassy Lu - 1 days ago
Ashleyd23- I have been losing weight also throught my 1st trimester. I went to the doctors the other day and I had lost another pound. Making that 5 pounds so far. I did have nausea from 6 weeks untill about 11 1/2 weeks. So that was why I was losing.

ashleyd23 - 1 days ago
Hi all, I am from week 24, but my sister is 14 weeks pregnant and I have a question for you gals. She had a doctor appt. yesterday and she had actually lost a pound since her last visit 4 weeks ago. She has already had an U/S and heard the baby's heartbeat yesterday and all looks good. The doc told her not make a habit of it (losing weight), but she hasn't even had any morning sickness and she eats a lot!!! Any one else here have that happen? Thanks!

hupko of 3 - 1 days ago
hello week 14 so glad to be here but im still suffering so bad with m/s and i have never had it at 14weeks be4 i lost m/s around 11weeks with others i feel it will never go lol but must say this seems to be the fastest preg god time is flying :D

Stephanie01 - 1 days ago
Yay! i am in week 14 never thought i will get this far. Can feel the baby move. 2 more weeks then i know the gender of the baby. Anyone knows the gender yet?

DoubleE - 2 days ago
For all those headaches! I have had about 3 really bad headaches and I feel it is usually when I sleep-in too long which means it has been too long since I had water. I usually drink atleast 2 Liters of water a day and as long as I do this, I don't have any problems with headaches. Try drinking more water, let me know if this helps!

KWMommy2b - 2 days ago
FINALLY!!!! Hallo second trimester.

waitingfornumber2 - 2 days ago
Just wondering if anyone has or will find out the sex of their baby this week, i'm having an ultrasound at 14 weeks and hoping to find out the sex.

mrs williams - 2 days ago
I was having bad headaches a couple weeks back. The doc said it was normal and would go away soon. SO far, they are gone, thank goodness. Anyway, I'm excited because weel 15 starts tomorow! Its going by fast.

Sassy Lu - 2 days ago
Well I am glad I am not the only one who had the heartbeat issue ! Seems like everyone is having that prob this week ! Same thing happened tuesday for me. When iw ent to docs at 11 weeks they found HB in a instant. Right in middle. This time it was lower and off tot he left. But it freaked me out also ! Normal for us mommys and mommy 2 b's 2 worry I guess ! Glad everyone is ok and the beans are growing away. <33

babyblessings2010 - 2 days ago
amber242 - We faced the same situation yesterday. The Dr. searched with the doppler for a few minutes, only hearing swooshing sounds. It felt like my heart dropped when he could not find the baby's heartbeat. He finally moved closer to my pelvic area (new location this time) and with some pressure, located a fast heartbeat for about a minute. He said the baby was moving around (again) and was tucked in there someplace. Another reason may be that if the baby has the opposite side facing the tummy/doppler, that makes it harder to hear the heartbeat at this stage. Glad to hear that your little bun is well and playing hide-and-seek. We found out we are having an active little boy. Let the games begin.

amber242 - 2 days ago
well guys I went to the DR. When I got in the DR came in concerned and went right to the belly with the doppler... no heartbeat. I was going nuts. My sister came with my as my husband was at work and couldn't leave. The DR kept trying and nothing. After 5 minutes he finally heard a faint heartbeat all while the cramps were getting worse. Well he sent me straight for an ultrasound and the baby showed up with a strong heartbeat right away. The pains were from the baby hitting a nerve and the lack of hearing the heartbeat was b/c the baby was tucked under my bladder. I cried when I saw the little beauty. The profile pic is up on my profile. They tried to see the sex but the baby wouldn't move it's legs. The cramps let up some but I feel a thousand times better. The baby put it's hands up by it's face which is how my son came out when he was born. It even has eli's little button nose. I <3 this lil bit sooo much! God is GOOD

opsbabymama - 2 days ago
Had my appt on monday. All they did was check my pee and weigh me and then sent me on my way...???I was really bummed...i didnt get to hear the heartbeat or anything and now I am kinda panicking as to if my baby is okay. I dunno i just would have liked to have some kind of reasurance. She asked me is the baby okay?? I thought shouldnt you be telling me...i dunno...also i had just got off work at six am and my appt was at 945. I was so tired I didnt even think to ask until we were leaving

Sassy Lu - 2 days ago

hisb-daygift - 2 days ago
Okay just got done with appointment and she said that it def feels like I'm 18 weeks. So does that mean I am? And I heard the heartbeat which made me want to cry, but was too nervOuse to do so. Daddy is sad cuz due date can't and won't be on his birthday anymore :( bummer I was looking forward to it too... O well... But the brite side is ill get to see my baby sooner. Good luck to u ladies, I am praying for all. O and what I felt day before yesterday with the message thing that I never got a reply on, it was the baby that I felt! =)

ashley-blesseddaily - 2 days ago
Is anyone else getting bad headaches often? I am on day 5 of waking up with a headache and it comes and goes all day. I have been having them throughout the pregnancy but lately they are getting worse and more often. And Tylenol does nothing : (
