Born & Birth stories

Your baby's crown-to-rump length is about 8.8 inches. Weight has increased to around 1.5 pounds and fat is still being deposited at a high rate. Babies come in all shapes and sizes, so your baby could vary slightly from these `average` measurements. Your uterus has grown quite a bit bigger this week. The top of your uterus is between your bellybutton and your sternum. Your uterus is about the size of a soccer ball now!

If your baby is delivered at this time, it would have a good chance of surviving. It is best for your baby to remain inside of you for the remainder of the pregnancy, but great advances have been made in the care of a premature baby. Ventilators, monitors and medications all help premature babies develop and grow outside of the womb. If your baby were born this early, he would probably have to spend several months in the hospital and would be more susceptible to infections and other complications.

You can hear your baby's heartbeat with both a Doppler and a stethoscope at this time, and your partner may even be able to hear the heartbeat unaided if he puts his ear in the right position. Sex differentiation is being completed now. If you are expecting a baby boy, the testes start to descend into the scrotum. In baby girls, the vagina is hollowing out. Your baby is able to do more with their fingers now and can move his fingers to make a complete fist. As your baby becomes more dexterous, he will be able to touch and hold his feet. Babies also begin to prefer their left hand or right hand at this time. Because babies settle into routines of sleep and activity, you might begin to notice these patterns as well. Some women experience the most fetal movements while they are trying to rest.

last day in week 25! Thank goodness! Every week is like another milestone right about now. If I would accomplish buying stuff for him every week it would be even better though. At this point I feel like the clock it ticking down and it will run out before I have anything ready for him. Tomorrow is my husbands birthday and because I am pregnant I am not included in on any of the fun. Totally pissed off about that by the way. He is going out tonight after work and he is not even comming home after work he is going straight to the bar and I haven't seen him since 5am. Cameron and I are just going to sit at home like we always do all day everyday.

babytoorop - 10.9 hours ago
hi everyone, just joined the site but have been looking at it for a while. did anyone else have to take the glucose test again? i have to go for my 3 hour one next week, not looking forward to sitting there for 3 hours and drinking that horrible stuff again. also, the chick that took my blood bent the needle in my arm and i have a huge bruise and lump on my arm. :(

buninoven09 - 10.9 hours ago
Hey yes i look like i've dropped too,I have plenty of room under my ribs now! xo

Has anyone looked like they have started to drop? My belly looks lower and Jr. doesn't seem to sit as high as he was a few days ago.

ohhhh i'm a tired wreck this morning!!! Was up most of the night with a stuffy nose and itchy eyes from allergies to something or other and then when I finally got to sleep, my 2 year old came in with a blood nose - twice! Then not long after that, (just as I'd dozed off again) my 1 year old came in. Just thank god it's Saturday and Hubby is home so I can go and nap!!!

On another note my phone died last night so I just left it off.... I woke up this morning and pluged it in and I had 2 text messages from 12:38 and 12:40 am. Don't ya know it's my son's sperm donor who he has not seen since september of '08 and last time we heard from him he was drunk and it was april. Now that I have Cameron settled into life with a man that he knows as his father and he is having a little brother and is just so happy! Now he wants to text my phone in the middle of the night and screw his life up. And I know him he is only going to talk to him one time and then he will disappear for another year at a time. Ugh! My hubby is going to flip out when I tell him. I bet he is going to cry. I feel so awful and sick to my tummy. I wish I could say that I wish I had never met him but everything happens for a reason and I wouldn't have Cameron!

Jesmikcamchance - 1 days ago
I think that this baby is so much nicer than my toddler! lol He has been sleeping just about all night I only notice him waking once when I do to go pee. And then I wake up before him in the morning and I lay still to see how long it will take him to wake up.... 10 mins everytime. I have to say I am a little freaked out but I hope he is like this when he comes out too.

nicki90 - 1 days ago
yea im glad he did or he would have found himself locked out this morning :) lol

giftsfromgod - 1 days ago

Just to weigh in on the stroller debate, being in Australia, I don't know alot of the names you girls are mentioning. The one tip I have tho is that if you plan on having kids fairly close in age, get a stroller that can adapt for 2 kids. We ended up buying a new one when we had our second because our first was still only 17 months old. We bought a Phil and Teds one. It's fantastic! It goes flat for a new born and the toddler seat goes on the front. When the younger child can sit up, you put the seat on the back and lift the flat bit up into another seat. The younger one then goes in the seat that used to be the toddler seat, but it still reclines alot if needed. Check them out if you get a chance - we love ours and it only uses the same car boot space as a single pram.

buninoven09 - 1 days ago
not one to complain but for the last few days i have been so nauseated,and the only way to ease it is to eat,and the relief is very short lived! ): last night I had the worst crampy pains which have gone thank goodness,just soooo sick....xoxo

buninoven09 - 2 days ago
Just had a coffee that definately was NOT decaf..i'm buzzing....i'm so caffienne sensitive xo

babyhartman - 2 days ago
yes mandie- they say that happens cuz we're losing room. I also have a harder time breathing after eating cuz my stomach swells and pushes into my lungs. And nicki90 -thats pretty cruddy! Sounds like he's just being mean to be mean! But I do know men get moody when they don't get 'it'. If only they knew what we go through... not just the knowledge I mean the physical stress of it all.. But they neveeer will.. suckville

mandi4068 - 2 days ago
Does anyone else feel full even after you eat hardly anything!! My belly fills stretched to the max after a yogurt!

nicki90 - 2 days ago
need to vent: my fiance is such an ass, he has to work the overnight AGAIN tonight - but somehow its my fault that he cant sleep during the day and now he's going to work tired.... but thats not all- he got pissed b/c i wouldnt 'give him any' b4 he left- so when i told him i didnt feel like it he told me my outfit was slutty- its a fricking one piece pj set thats goes from a shirt into shorts and its buttoned all the way down- its not even like the shorts r short on me- he just felt like being a dick i guess....

nicki90 - 2 days ago
on the FT hood suject i was looking at members pages today (habit when im bored) and there is a girl on her and i swear i just read this morning that that is where she is from, and ater i heard about the shootings i tried finding her again and i cant find her page!!! i just thought that was really weird and i hope she is ok

chute - 2 days ago
this is a little off topic too but i was watching a baby story the other day just for fun, and it was a horrible intro, first the mom had a complication with her first preg so she terminated and got married the same day, then her second they told her the baby needed surgery after birth to fix a heart problem, so she terminated that one too, then on the third time she had an amnio to make sure the baby was healthy, which it was so was having that one...i just cant get over the intro story, i couldnt believe she terminated a baby that just need a surgery and otherwise was healthy and she talked about it like it was completely fine...maybe its hormones but sometimes i feel some people are so ungrateful for the babies they are carrying. on a good note i had chinese for dinner...mmmmm so tasty. been craving a pumpkin shake but they dont even exsist! lol i seriously tried to order one from mcd's!! lol no luck

doolah~ if you had chickenpox when you were a child then you are completely immune. if you didnt have it and never got the vaccine, then you have a good chance of catching it, chickenpox is highly contagious. so if youve had it then dont worry your safe!

babyhartman - 2 days ago
Hey guys this is totally off topic and I'm not even sure if you covered it but PLZ keep the families and victims of the attack at FT HOOD in your prayers. My best friend and her family are there and are OK but are devastated! This is pretty tragic!

Jane81 - 2 days ago
OTR, wow... that's crazy!

BabySaunders - 2 days ago
Oh and this is off topic of what we're talking about, but I just found out that a sorority sister of mine is 19 weeks pregnant with her SECOND child! Holy crap! Mind you she got married the same day as me and has a 7 month old son right now. So she'll have a 1 yr old and a newborn. That's just crazy to me. I can't imagine already having a 7 month old. Hubby and I have only been married for about a year.

BabySaunders - 2 days ago
Wow. That upset over a girl? Poor child :( I hope that once she's born they will forget they ever wanted a boy and fall in love with her. I wanted a boy first and got it, but I STILL feel like it's a girl. I've seen his wee wee on screen so many times and it's what I want, but I catch myself saying 'she' all the time. I guess this means I shouldn't be surprised if he's 12 and says 'Mom..I think I'm gay' well no shit lol. I'll still raise him as a boy, but I can't shake the 'it's a girl' feeling. Jane81-For strollers, the graco sets are really nice. My husband and I actually went to like 4 different baby stores and took the strollers off the shelves and messed with them. We chose http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3224013&fromRegistryNumber=92393025&product_skn=121958 because it had all of the features we were looking for. Good luck!

piglet2686 - 2 days ago
i wanted a boy, but i am having a girl and i am just as happy and so is the hubby! stupid people! thay should be thankfule they can have a baby!

nicki90 - 2 days ago
otr: that is seriously the most stupid thing i have EVER heard. and jus b/c its a girl she can keep his last name- when she gets married she doesnt have to change her last name...... what an idiot!!

Cutenes99 - 2 days ago
I did the intelligender test at 16 weeks and it said girl-it was right! The chinese gender chart also was right for me. :)

reeseplus1 - 2 days ago
OTR- that is horrible! People like that shouldn't even be allowed to have kids. When your a parent you don't get to have favorites or even think about what you 'want'. It should be about the kids and what they need and that they are healthy!

doolah - 2 days ago
Hello does anyopone ow about chicken pox and pregnancy?? My little boy has it !!!

Jesmikcamchance - 2 days ago
I mean if they are already going to charge your insurance company for an ultrasound then you should atleast get to see your baby. Maybe I will get lucky and have a nice tech that will still give us a pic of him. As far the the intelligender goes..... mine said girl. I am having a boy. It was fun but it wasn't like life changing. They are crazy! I can't even put into words how gay that sounds. People are just..... ugh!

tinkerbell319 - 2 days ago
Yes there really is a procedure where u choose the babies sex by spinning the sperm. It separates the boys from the girls!!! I think it crosses the line too. No one should be able to do that. That's just going against Gods plan!!!

chute - 2 days ago
thats ridiculous...it even says on the box and thier website that different factors can have a false boy prediction and dont go painting your nursey based on that test. i took it and mine was not a clear boy/girl but it was closer to boy and i got really excited plus my mom-tuition said boy too then my u/s said girl! lol i was shocked but i am just as happy...i cant imagine not being happy because of the sex...its your child..whats there to be upset about? there really is a sex choosing procedure?? omg. i think that crosses the line.. but i bet thats why all those hollywood people have boy/girl twins now :)

OverTheRainbow - 2 days ago
Jesmikcamchanc: I have to have vaginal u/s too. I HATE them...but they check my cervix every two weeks since it;s short. And she said it's the only way to check the cervical length. It stinks...I NEVER get to see our baby now that I have them vaginally. PLUS...I'm right there with you about having that thing stuck up there right now...HATE IT!!

OverTheRainbow - 2 days ago
OKAY...I have to report this news since some of you are aware of the situation. My stepson's mom is 15 weeks pregnant, and a few weeks ago she did the intelligender test. Her and her husband ONLY wanted a boy. The test results came back as a boy...and they have been thrilled. Talking about ALL boy stuff. Apparently they looked into the procedure that allows you to pick the sex, but it was $5000. He is the last boy in his family, and only wants a boy to carry out his namesake. Well, last night at my SS baseball game, she told me that she went to an ultrasound place that tells you the sex. It's a girl. She said that she is SO depressed, and so is her hubby. They ONLY wanted a boy. She said that he was so upset, they didn't even talk about it for a day - and that's why he wasn't at the baseball game last night. She even said that she's just going to ahve to try for another boy (she's 38 right now). CRAZY! I can't imagine being that upset...I know sometimes we may have preferences, but they are seriously mad.

I already ate my lunch and it's not even NOON!

Jane81 - 2 days ago
@Piglet - cuuuuute!!! We don't have ANYTHING for the baby yet, and I just started registering (kind of clueless about what we need).

OverTheRainbow - 2 days ago
99 days to go...out of the triple digits...woohoo!

OverTheRainbow - 2 days ago
Piglet: Don't worry...at least you're not going all the way to 39 weeks, and then BAM....stretch marks. I think that would make me even more angry. I know, I check my body everyday for them. I just keep telling myself, if it happens...it happens. DH will still love me, and so will the baby!

Jane: I like the jungle print. I said if I had a boy, I would definitely want jungle...my stepson's room was all jungle when he was about three!

Nicki-You may want to make sure your water didn't break. Deflating belly? Mine has been pretty hard for the last couple of weeks and seems to be growing by the minute, except immediately after I wake up, of course!
