15 weeks pregnant • Pregnancy calendar •

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.

I just did the Chinese calendar predictor and it says I'm having a boy! I'll have to wait until August 14 for the ultrasound to confirm. With my first it predicted girl and it's a boy!

Englandgirl, I am not really showing either. I've had to buy some new pants, so I know i'm gaining weight, which is a relief because i actually lost weight after I got pregnant. i want to look pregnant, too, but i'm not going to rush it. I'm going to enjoy being pregnant for as long as I can, though I do hope I get my old figure back. Ladies, how long did it take you to lose weight after you gave birth? Did you lose it faster if you breast fed? As for the appetite, mine comes and goes, but I haven't been able to eat a normal-sized meal since the morning sickness kicked in at about five weeks. It's gone now, but I still have to eat many small meals during the day, which they say is better for you anyway. :)

So I am moving to a condo this weekend. My fiance and I are renting a room from a friend it's a nicer neighborhood but I am going to miss the 'alone time' we have. We need to save money because of baby too. I just hope sharing a room with the baby for the first 7-8 mos. won't be a detriment on our relationship...

lolasmummy - 4.1 hours ago
Hey englandgirl, I am the same way with food right now. As for you not showing, with my first pregnancy I ate so little and had no appetite that I looked and was thinner than I had been in years. I didn't begin to show until six months. People just carry differently. and for your first child it usually takes longer for you to show. This is all new to your body. Don't worry, enjoy your vacation.

I just had a firdt time today. Am 15 wks prego and had not thrown up since getting pregnant. But today, had breakfast and all of it came out. Hope its the first and last time. I hate being sick.

Natalie2 - 4.4 hours ago
For all of you concerned that you are not showing as well as you should be by now, let those of us that have already done this before let you know that you are going to have SEVERAL MONTHS of being huge-bellied and uncomfortable, Esp the last 2 months. So enjoy your little bellies as long as you can bc before you know it you will be waddling round, having difficulty breathing, and worrying you are going to never have your old body back.

englandgirl - i too have the same issue with the lack of ability to eat much at one sitting. my hubby cooks up this beautifully delicious meal and then i sit down and am only able to eat a couple of bites before my stomach says it's full. i have found that if i eat a snack every couple of hours i do much better. if i try to force more food in when i'm 'full' i regret it for the rest of the night with nausea. i am preg with my first child and am just now really showing. i was concerned at first too because so many people were showing and all i had to show for the pregnancy was ms! fun fun. hang in there, eat when you can, and baby will present him/herself to you in time - it almost seemed like it happened over night for me. :)

I just looked at the chinese birth chart and it says that I will have a boy, but my gut feeling is telling me that it is a girl. we find out on thursday what we are having, so we'll see...

alexmommytobe - 7.1 hours ago
englandgirl - I currently live in Turkey, and here it is very hot all the time, I have not had much of an appetite and get full after a couple of bites of food. I have blamed the heat for this too. it has gotten a little better lately, but I still feel like I am forcing myself to eat sometimes.

Englandgirl - 7.8 hours ago
Yay week 15, on holiday in Majorca and loving the sun!! I am at an amazing hotel looking over the ocean and we see the sun set every evening while eating out supper! One question tho, I haven´t been eating as much as usual and i´m putting it down to the heat however I can feel starving, have my first folk full of food and my appetite disappears - is this happening to anyone else? Also it said on week 15 that you should look clearly pregnant in a bikini - I dont think I do? This stressed me out a bit when I read it. Can you please let me know what you think and is this happening to anyone else? Well I hope all is well with you guys x.

30YrOldNzGirl - 9.6 hours ago
chinese birth chart worked for all 3 of my children I already have, Im hoping it will be wrong this time cos I want another girl! I have had other friends and family do it and its only been wrong once, my niece should be a boy.

xodeviousgirlox - 11.1 hours ago
QUESTION: i know a few people who looked up the chinese calander sex predicter...and it work for all three of them...im not usually a big believer in this kind of stuff. but lots of people say it works> anyone else know anyone who it worked for??

Debby21 - 19.5 hours ago
hey everyone im in the 29th week with my third baby girl and i just wanted to know if anyone else is pregnant with baby number 3

Megan - 19.7 hours ago
alexmommytobe- i am in the VERY same boat as you... such a low libido... i think we've had sex once since finding out i was preggo. i feel horrible for him but i remember last time around we had sex maybe 5 times max during the whole pregnancy cuz i would get really bad braxton hicks after and it scared me. so now im not wantin that to happen again... its hard on my hubby too of course.

AquaPeach - 20.3 hours ago
I used to have a stomach of iron, and practically no gag reflex, now everything makes me gag. Sometimes, even when i eat, I want to gag, even though my morning sickness is practically gone. As for libido. Well, i'm solo now, and maybe i wouldn't be as interested if it was readily available. lol

ReRe78 - 21.2 hours ago
well it sounds like everyone is doing good-I know we all have good days and bad-just glad today is a good one..We're not getting anymore rain from hurricane dolly just have a nice fresh feeling outside that will go away tomorrow...lol..I have gained 5 lbs and look 5 months pregnant....its crazy...lol...

pr3gojenn./.. what is the website?

alexmommytobe - 22.1 hours ago
has anyone else experienced a low libido after they got pregnant? I dont want anything to do with my husband when it comes to that department, and it is making both him and me very frustrated. any tips?

pr3gojenn - 22.4 hours ago
Ok check out this website, It will predict what your having. It says im having a girl. It predicted my son and my sex as well. anyway I hope everyone gets what they want

meggermomma - 23.8 hours ago
Megan- yeah last night i went to the store and bought cream to start rubbing on my belly--i'm not even showing yet but i'm sure it will be coming very soon--and the worst for me is when I am doing the dishes--I can't even do them, the hubby has to do them because I will practically throw up!

Megan - 1 days ago
meggermomma- my old stretch marks from my last pregnancy were starting to itch last night... so ive been slathering on that much more cocoa butter and stretch mark cream hoping not to get anymore than i did last time around. i also have been gagging a lot too. mostly when im cleaning up stuff in the kitchen or changing my sons diapers. he seems to get messier by the day lol

When I was around 7 weeks I dreamt of catching two similar fish and I thought I was expecting twins...it must means: you're gonna have loads of MS lol. Well I'm expecting only one and still don't know the sex.

stacidrake - 1 days ago
Megan I drempt that I was pregnant with a fish lol.. I wonder what that means

meggermomma - 1 days ago
My belly has been itching so much lately! I guess it's growing!!! Have any of you noticed that your gag reflex is way worse now that you're pregnant??I didn't get morning sickness or anything, but when I cough...I gag...when I brush my teeth...I gag...NOT FUN!

bensmum - 1 days ago
Hi girls, managed to get more sickeness tablets today - had run out of them for my despair - and hope to have my life back this weekend and maybe a good night sleeping. Why some of us are so unlucky with MS...what the H£!! is our problem? Never mind, chins up girls and let's hope our 16th week will bring more of 'normal days' to all of us. It's just ocurred me...at least we're not gaining any extra pounds (hehehe just trying to see the positive side of MS...if there's any ;-) Take care of your precious babies and see you on week 16.

jasmine1 - 1 days ago
The other day I swear I felt someone poke my uterus. I havent felt much since, either. I cant wait to feel him movin....actually...maybe I can, the doctor already said he was very active...so much for sleeping at night!

edweenna - 1 days ago
megan - that is very interesting. i can't wait to find out!

Megan - 1 days ago
edweenna- an old wives tale says that when you are pregnant and have a dream about the sex of your baby you are actually carrying the opposite sex. so since you dreamed about a boy you would be having a girl. make sense?

edweenna - 1 days ago
Hello All! So I think I might have felt Baby move a couple of days ago...this is my first so I'm not sure. It didn't feel like gas, or camping, or even a flutter. I just felt..well...something...nothing like I've ever felt before. But then I've not felt it since. I can't wait to feel it for SURE! The past 3 days I have felt great. I have been able to eat - which is a blessing at this point. I still haven't gained any weight - none of my cloths fit right but no weight gain. I'm hoping the nausea has finally decided to go on a permanent vacation. :) I am feeling like I have more energy though. I am a RN and I work 12 hour shift and they are brutal on my legs. By the time I get home the just simply ache - I dread getting up to go to the rest room! As for the crying, wow! I work on an Oncology floor (cancer) and I'm usually able to keep myself composed, but lately I find myself breaking down and crying much more than normal and I want to be strong and supportive for my patients. It's tough going. We have our next Dr apt next week and I'm anxious. I want to find out Baby's gender ~ I actually had a dream the other day that it was a boy, he peed on my - go figure! lol. Hoping everyone is doing well. :)

LSurvivor78 - 1 days ago
ITS ANOTHER BOY! had an U.S yesterday, 15wks 4 days.. and its another boy! Not that I expected much less with six other boys already!

Dil - 1 days ago
Hi There Everyone!!! Sorry to hear that most of you have morning sickness, mine went away on 12 weeks, so I'm very lucky. With my First pregnancy I had morning sickness the whole 9 months all day long. It was terrible. I also struggle to sleep at night and during the day I'm very tired, my eyes are burning and can't keep them open. LOL Anyway Enjoy!!! ;)

bigmuma - 1 days ago
mum444 i think to put your mind at ease you should get checked out incase. The bub should have a bit of protection because its only just out of the pubic bone but yeh i would get checked out or you will worry. Hope its all ok.

bigmuma - 1 days ago
Violets that is a FUNNY story. Im glad you had a laugh about it lol. On the eating subject..I lost 5 kilos and gained 1 this during first trimester due to m/s ..i am still having the throwing up in the morning but during the day im ok if i eat often then at night after dinner i feel like crap again and during the night i also cant sleep. My nose has been blocked since conception and my lips are dry cos i have to breath through my mouth lol. Anyway i move house tomoro and my feet are killing me from all the packing etc today. Will be ofline so you wont have to listen to me winge. lol. I hope your all ok and i will talk to you in week 16. xoxoxo Oh i also wanted to say that if some havent felt bub yet it may be to the position of the placenta. Each pregnancy is diferent a mate of mine was on number 6 and didnt feel anything till well after 20 weeks cos of the placenta taking all the kicking. xoxxo

mum444 - 1 days ago
today i tripped over on the way to school....i felt pretty silly at the time but then i realised i actually fell on my belly, is there any chance i could have hurt the baby?

Tastiecake731 - 2 days ago
I'm with Grace33...I look at food and it sticks to me. I think I've got you ALL beat! I don't know how much I've gained becuase my doc didn't weigh me until about 12 weeks however I know that I've gained at least 15 pounds and that doesn't sound like much BUT I've still got my pouch from my 12 year old AND my 6 year old. I told my husband I have enough weight on me for the baby to last the entire 9 months without me gaining a pound!

kgm79 - 2 days ago
So this afternoon I had an U/S and they said it's 75% chance a girl! I'm excited but I don't want to get my hopes up because its not for sure. I have to wait another 3 wks to check again. aahhh!! :) More waiting..... Has anyone else had this happen??

californiabeso - 2 days ago
Yea, I have no belly...just booty!

Natalie2 - 2 days ago
Well, ladies, i have gained 7 pounds and it has all gone STRAIGHT TO MY BOOTY. Thighs are getting their fair share also! MIrror Mirror, Shiny Glass....Do NOT tell me thats my A*S!

nikkiANbaby - 2 days ago
I feel kicks..this si my 3rd so thast why plus i just had a baby..you'll start feeling kicks soon is this your first?

crazyforkids - 2 days ago
Ok so Ive been having the WORST back pains in my life!! seriously nothing compares to what i have been experiencing ... its hard for me to get outta bed and when i do my legs shake and i can barely stand up straight... im not sure if this is normal or should i get checked out?!

gemz82 - 2 days ago
I didn't really have much morning sickness, felt really nausous til about week ten but have felt pretty much o.k since then just the odd sicky feeling, i've still managed to eat and my appetite is begining to increase somewhat although i've still only gained 2 lbs. not too worried though, i read for my height and pre-preg weight that i should gain 28- 40 lbs so i'm sure by the time i'm due i'll be stressing over putting on too much weight! lol Hope the sickness subsides for the few unlucky ones still suffering x

Grace33 - 2 days ago
Not all of us have to eat alot to gain. Some people just metabolize it differently. I can look at bread and I will gain a pound.lol But, honestly I watch my intake carefully and I still gain. I am also power walking 4 miles ad day. I honestly believe and a nurse even told me yesterday that if you start out at a low weight, you tend to gain more. That is because your body needs is for whatever........

jasmine1 - 2 days ago
Yeah I haven't gained anything either--even with meds for the nausea and vomiting I barely have an appetite!

30YrOldNzGirl - 2 days ago
I cant believe the weight gains going on here! How are you guys eating so much? Its still the hardest thing for me!

Violetts - 2 days ago
Funny Story! I got married this weekend. Well, I bought my dress before I found out I was pregnant. I was able to squeeze into it. My mom made the comment don't take a deep breathe..... Well, after such a delicious dinner.....I took a deep breathe and blew out the back of my dress. That's a story for the baby book. SHEESH

bensmum - 2 days ago
Well NicolePS like you I lost at first - 5 lbs - but have gained them back. Some times my tommy is huge others is flat, I don't get it. Still feeling nauseous especially at night when I go to bed, result: can't sleep at all. I'm so jellous of you Stacidrake, what is your secret? I bought the fetal doppler, finally something to give some joy. Still not eating well, can't stand fruits and vegs - used to love them :-( and I'm worried about my baby having only potatoes, pasta, cream crackers and chocolate milk, what else should I try?

californiabeso - 2 days ago
I am not worried about gfaining weight cause I know I will lose it...I have done it before. Has anyone felt their baby move? I havent felt anthing but nausea :(
