Born & Birth stories



Your baby's crown-to-rump length is approximately 4 inches and she now weighs approximately 1.75 ounces. Your baby is close to the size of a softball and you can easily tell that you are pregnant now! If you wear maternity clothes or a swimming suit, other people will be able to tell that you are pregnant also. You can probably feel your uterus about three to four inches below your bellybutton.


Your baby, 25 weeks to go.....

If you do not yet have a due date, your doctor can easily determine an accurate due date based on the measurement of your baby's head. This is done by an ultrasound examination. Your doctor will be discussing upcoming tests and procedures with you around this time that are able to diagnose or confirm birth defects and other abnormalities.

Your baby is growing at an amazing rate and looking more like a human every day. Because your baby's skin is so thin, you are able to see blood vessels through the skin. Lanugo hair covers your baby's body, but it will be gone when your baby is born. The hair on the eyebrows and head continues to grow. Some babies are born with little or no hair and others have a head full of hair! If you have an ultrasound at this point, you might be able to see your baby sucking its thumb. Even though the eyes continue to move to the front of the face, they are still widely separated. Your baby's ears look like normal ears and continue to develop externally. The bones that have already formed continue to get harder and retain calcium. The baby is very mobile and flexible at this point. She can bend her arms at the elbows and wrists and she can also make a fist with her hands.

This is our 7th (2 are angel babies). We are not sure if we are done or not. This one will be 7 yrs behind our youngest. It might be kind of lonely for them as our others leave home so we might have one more. Who knows. :~)

DeaS - 1 days ago

collegeprincess27 - 1 days ago
Bella this is my third pregnancy and my fourth child (had twins) this baby factory will be closing right after baby comes out four is plenty we have truely been blessed and I pregnant what seems forevr (my oldest is 3) and I am ready to move on the chapter in my life where I am not pregnant (not a fan of being pregnant just love the end result when baby comes out) and not having to worry about getting pregnant =)

bella619 - 2 days ago
So, just curious, how many kids will this pregnancy/baby be for you and do you plan more after this or is the 'shop' closed? Lol

mrshewinsx - 2 days ago
nic.cu-- I found out that this one is a girl at 14 weeks 3 days and they were very confident. I saw a suzie with my own eyes. :) & I found out with my son when I was 15 weeks along. I'd be fairly confident that it's a boy :)

nic.uco08@gmail.com - 2 days ago
We had our ultrasound on this past Monday and they are pretty sure it is a boy!! They saw a penis from many different angles but don't want to say for sure because it is early. My four year old son was there and said 'ohhhhh.....mommy it's a boy...you're in trouble!!' it was so cute!!! Have any of you had the tech say they aren't sure because it is too early? I am due July 31

tamlyn - 2 days ago
baby has been moving alot lately!!! its our second so this time i knpw for sure what the feelings are. especially morning time, i get kicked until i get up from bed!

bella619 - 2 days ago
I don't really stress the weight cuz I tend to eat less the last 2 months when I'm pregnant. I feel like the bigger the baby gets, the less appetite I have. My stomach feels smashed like it's in my throat. Both my pregnancies I gained like 5lbs that last trimester. And last time I was 8 & 9 months pregnant during the summer (July & August). I was so hot! my diet was water, fruit, yogurt, watermelon & edanime beans for dinner. I gained hardly nothing. I've gained 10 lbs so far and if I gain another 10 to 15 between now and July I'm ok with that.

babylove07 - 2 days ago
I too have gained weight (about 8-10 lbs.). Not really sure how much bc my scale is kind of wacky. But I've also been in maternity clothes since 5 wks. Its my 7th pregnancy so I think my body just really knows what to do at this point :-). And im not a big person normally. Theres a pic on my profile of me at 12 wks and i already look 6 or 7 mos. Ive kind of slowed down a bit though so hopefully i wont be enormous at the end.

babylove07 - 2 days ago
Zozboz, i get heart palpatations and have with every pregnancy. Its normal according to my research and my midwife. I hate them though. They take my breath away and make me feel kind of panicky. I have noticed that when i drink plenty of water, i dont have them nearly as much.

kujaroo - 2 days ago
I have lost 1 and a half stone since I found out I was pregnant. I follow slimming world which here in England is fully endorsed by the royal midwife association, it really has made me eat a lot healthier than my other pregnancies that's for sure! I gained 5 stone in my 1st pregnancy and my eating habits were awful!!

anna89 - 2 days ago
Last day in week 15! yay week 16 here i come! apt on monday excited to get this apt over with so i can get the next apt to find out wat am having...=)

mrshewinsx - 2 days ago
I'm with ya Bam-- I've gotten up to 200 with both of my kids :(

bamsmom1 - 3 days ago
Good morning ladies! I'm so jealous too of you that haven't gained any weight. I was holding steady at only 5.5lbs gain, and WHAM - all of a sudden up to 8lbs. I'm trying really hard not to gain more than 20 this time, my back can't hang! I can say, I have eaten much healthier this time, compared to my 1st.

collegeprincess27 - 3 days ago
hello week 15 four more weeks and I will see the lil bean again can't wait hope to see what you are this time around!!!

zozboz - 3 days ago
Is anyone experiencing heart palpitations at all? I get them when I'm being active mostly, don't really remember having them last time

mrshewinsx - 3 days ago
babyleo- I wish I hadn't gained any weight yet, but I've already gained 10 lbs! My doc wasn't too happy with me! I was 145 pre-pregnancy, so I shouldn't have gained this much. God-- food just tastes so good some days and no to mention my bowels have been irregular so I know I'm holding onto extra calories..

libertybelle - 3 days ago
Hi babyleo, I haven't gained any weight yet either but my belly is well and truely showing. Not sure how that can be the case! I weighed myself on 3 different scales just in case. Hello week 15!

DeaS - 3 days ago
Baby Leo I'm actually down 2kg I'm sure ur fine i m preg with my third and every pregnancy I lost weight even without ms .. With my first I didn't actually put on weight until 33 weeks and over the last 8 1/2 weeks I gained 7.4 kg.. And very much the same with my second .. Everyones body just handles pregnancy different .. :)

elisabeth73 - 3 days ago
Hi everyone ... I have been lurking on here since I found out I was pg at 5 weeks, just haven't written anything yet! Will update my profile when things get back to normal with the site but just thought I would say hi.

bella619 - 4 days ago
I feel flutters but nothing distinctive yet like it's definitely the baby. I think any day now! My ms is way better. I can eat now. I started feeling better in week 14. I let everyone know I'm pregnant yesterday and that it's a girl. I got tons of emails and phonecalls from friends, family & Coworkers offering congrats. I had a lot of 'so glad you're getting the girl' comments...lol

bamsmom1 - 4 days ago
Happy to be in wk 15! I finally feel like my energy level is picking back up - Yay! I actually walked for an hour last night and 30 minutes the night before. Feels good! I too have only felt a few little flutters here and there, but I do know it'll be soon that it'll be all the time :) Can't wait! 3 more wks til gender scan...

marcellab - 4 days ago
I have felt flutters one time... I go to the doc next Tuesday and I really want to get the early gender scan, but insurance doesn't cover it... and hubby can't make that appointment, so I have to wait until March...booo!

jamommy - 4 days ago

zozboz - 4 days ago
Well ladies, I was doing really well and then last night came down with a sickness bug. I have never been so sick in 12 hours. I just hope baby is ok in there, I was doing some pretty intense retching

tink21 - 4 days ago
Btw, I definitely felt the baby move today, it was great!

tink21 - 4 days ago
Thanx marcellab!! So am I :) babyleo, I didn't start gaining weight with my first pregnancy until around 18wks. I'm sure you'll be just fine.

tamlyn - 4 days ago
Hi everyone!!! ive been so preoccupied with my 10 month old that i have not been online for over 3 weeks!!!!! hope everyone is well and all heartburn free... long way to go... feeling so tired already

baby-leo - 4 days ago
I'm getting a little worried.. i'm almost at 16 weeks and have yet to gain any weight. does that sound normal??

mrshewinsx - 4 days ago
Bella- my babygirl's heart rate has been 148/149 the last 3 visits

Bella619 - 4 days ago
@oursecretwedding, to be fair, the time that happened it was at my 20 week anatomy ultrasound at a specialized clinic where that's all they do. It wasn't at my doctor's office. There are 5 or 6 sonogram techs ushering women in and out all day for ultrasound scans so it may be the case where they're giving photos out all day that they perhaps do start running low on paper. However, I distinctly remember that woman tech I got had attitude and she was rude. She was snippy and quiet, not too friendly. She seemed to think that she was there to get measurements and do her work, not make chit-chat with me. It was obvious to me that she thought she needed to send all the photos to my doctors' office, not give me pictures for my baby book. She only gave me 1 (because I asked) but sort of reluctantly, said they were low on paper (yet she had a bunch of them that I saw her put in my medical file). I never did get them. I'm sure they're still there at my doctor's office, a momento of my 2nd son's visits there while he was still inside me..lol.

baby-leo - 4 days ago
wow they ran out of paper! thats very hard to believe.. my tech gives me the pictures on a cd, i like it that way.. my DH works out of town and its easier to send them to him electronically.

waiting4agirl - 4 days ago
i think normal HB is like 120 to 160

Bella619 - 4 days ago
@oursecretwedding, that happened to me once, where the ultrasound tech was snotty and only gave me one photo (reluctantly at that), told me they didn't have enough paper. This was w/ my last pregnancy. BTW, question for everyone, what is the average bpm of the baby's heart at this point? Mine has always been in the mid to high 140's. I go in today for my 2nd set of bloodwork tests...I should be in an out of the lab there, no actual appt.

oursecretwedding - 5 days ago
Has anyone ever heard of this happening? We had a 15-week u.s. this week and when I asked for photos/print-outs the technician said we're out of paper! A once-in-a-lifetime chance and they're out of paper?!

marcellab - 5 days ago
tink21-glad everything went so well at the new doc!

tink21 - 5 days ago
Thanks baby Leo!! :)

majormommy8 - 5 days ago

baby-leo - 5 days ago
Hey tink! Glad it went well!! And niki, glad u got good news all around!! I guess I'm starting to show, people at work have started asking if I'm expecting :)

waiting4agirl - 5 days ago
The side bar is broken. It has been like that for days

mrshewinsx - 5 days ago
Anyone else not showing up on the sidebar??

Niki917 - 5 days ago
Yay, we had our check up today and we got to hear baby's heart beat...120bpm...and after that we had an echo appointment to look at my daughters heart to make sure it didn't have any holes and all was good! So we had good news everywhere today :) and on top of all that one of my good friends got married today so today has been an extra special day today :) Also, we get to find out what baby is in three weeks! We are very excited! :)

tink21 - 5 days ago
Ok well the good news is: I loveeeeee my new doctor! He is everything I hoped for. I felt comfortable, not rushed. Understood not judged and he was totally ok with my birth plan. The not so great news is that the baby was laying with it's head down and we couldn't see what it is. But I'm ok with that. I'm just so glad a found the right doctor for me.

bella619 - 5 days ago
Good luck Tink!

tink21 - 5 days ago
Thanks girls my appt is in 2 hrs, 2 blocks from my house. I'm so exited! This new doctor has a 4D machine and might be able to tell me what I'm having!!!!!!! I will let you girl know how it went later!

bella619 - 5 days ago
I didn't realize there were so many of us with 2 or more kids of the same sex and hoping for the opposite (boy or girl) this time around. I wasn't sure what I wanted but my mom is overjoyed for me. She's always said every woman needs to know what it feels like to have both a son and daughter. My sister also has both and says I 'needed' a girl....lol

baby-leo - 5 days ago
hi! i hope everyone is doing well! and im so happy for everyone finding out what they're having!! i thought i felt the baby move for the first time a couple days ago, but i have no idea what its supposed to feel like lol.. @tink21, if you're having nightmares like that im glad you switched doctors!! i hope the new one gives you good happy vibes :).

kneebaby1978 - 5 days ago
Hello Week 15!!! Congratulations, Bella619! I hope my news will be as good as yours! I have two girls and hope this one is a boy! Since this will be it no matter what, I will feel so sorry for my hubby... :(
