You are 29 weeks pregnant.1-3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 Born & Birth stories |

At this point in your pregnancy, your baby's crown-to-rump length is approximately 10.4 inches and the total length of your baby is around 16.7 inches. Your baby weighs about 2.7 pounds and continues to grow every day. If you measure from your bellybutton, your uterus is 3.5 to 4 inches above it. Total weight gain at this point is usually between 19 and 25 pounds.
Babies that are born prematurely can be very tiny. Even a baby that is only a few weeks early can be very small. Your baby will grow rapidly from now until week 36, and then at a slower rate thereafter. Generally, boys weigh more than girls at birth. The average baby's birth weight at full term is 7 to 7.5 pounds.
You might notice some leakage of colostrums from your breasts around this time. Colostrums is a sticky, watery substance that provides your baby's first food if you choose to breastfeed. Milk does not come in immediately after delivery and colostrums is high in calories and enough for your baby's first few days of life. Your baby is stimulating the production of colostrums. The baby's body is ensuring that there will be a readily available food supply after delivery.
Your baby will continue to open and close his eyes in the womb and may be able to see silhouettes of objects or even people in the right amount of light. Your baby should be moving many times throughout the day. Some of your baby's movements will be predictable and if you notice a decrease in fetal movements, you should lie down and do a fetal kick count. You should feel your baby move approximately ten times in an hour. If you do not notice the proper amount of movements, you should contact your healthcare provider.
Research has shown that your baby is not only able to hear, but also able to recognize your own voice. This shows that your baby can already learn, remember and recognize.

I had a third degree tear, which means I tore all the way down and next to my rectum. I also had an episiotomy the doc had been trying to avoid, but when I started tearing and wasn't stopping they cut me. I had sooooo much pain after from the natural tear, that I'd say a controlled cut is better. But the other issue is that controlled vs natural is the scarring that is possible, irregular tears are harder to repair then a straight line. I can tell you this from watching years of in my ER. Scarring is individual either way, however, so what is good for someone might not be good for someone else.

Nothing freaks me out about labor more than tearing and cutting *shiver*. So I just got back from the doctor and I passed my glucose test, hurray! My iron has gotten low though so I have to start taking supplements. Everything was good with the heart rate and everything, but when my doctor measured me he said I was measuring a little small. That totally freaked me out, but he said they consider it normal to be a couple centimeters off either way because the baby's position can affect the measurement, so my boy's still in the normal range..but if he measures small again next time they'll probably do an ultrasound to check things out. I don't go back for three weeks so I guess I just wait and see. He told me not to be worried at all but I can't help being a little anxious..has anyone else measured smaller than expected?
~2nd TyMe Mom~ - 53 minutes ago
my sister had the cut done, i witnessed it ughh gross, not by choice either but she said she barely felt it afterwards and was fine within a couple of weeks no pain and she didnt take pain medicine at all after coming home.
chellrw - 1.3 hours ago
Our midwife told us that tearing is far better than having the cut. When they cut it goes through all of your muscles which generally leads to longer recovery and weaker muscles there in the future. She also said that the massage will help with the outer tearing but can lead to more severe internal tearing. Who knows though which will be best!
twogreatkids - 3.4 hours ago
I tore up my clitoris with my first, and did not tear at all with my second. They say that doctors look at your perinum and will determine at last minute if they should cut you. My mom tore horribly with my sister and she couldn't sit for a couple of months without a tube. I don't even think they give you a choice in tearing or cutting. I think they just do what they have to do. I hear if you massage your perinium before you go into labor it helps it stretch. I'm sure your husband wouldn't mind;)
dollface - 3.8 hours ago
i tore naturally, my sister had an episiotomy. my recovery was much quicker than hers (i had a 3rd degree tear). you would never be able to tell that i tore. this is something to ask your dr. about and if your dr. is leaving it up to you, then it's a completely personal decision. i am not one for giving advice, but based on my personal experience, i prefer tearing naturally.
corypritch - 4 hours ago
definitely go for the episiotomy. i am on my fourth child and have had the episiotomy. i had no negative reactions to having it done and i am grateful that i haven't had to recover from a tear
Arcola21 - 4.1 hours ago
HI..if you have a good doctor and he/she realizes that you might tear NORMALLY they do an episiotomy becuase its more painful when you tear. I tore some with my 1st and she also had to cut me. With my 2nd she automatically did the Episotomy. Healing from a tear is harder than healing from a cut. I KNOW!
LilBoy4Jenn - 4.1 hours ago
Just wondering what everyone's opinions are as far as episiotomy vs. naturally tearing? If you're a first timer, which would you prefer and why? If you're a seasoned pro and have done one or the other, which would your recommend and why? I'm coming to the realiziation that I may have to choose one or the other and wondering what the pros and cons are to each. Thanks!
LilBoy4Jenn - 4.2 hours ago
Baby was moving like crazy last night. I've been so busy that I don't feel him much during the day, but as soon as I rest and put my feet up at night, he goes nuts. I love it :) Some ladies were talking about 'vibrations' recently. I *think* I've had something similar about three seperate occasions now. The mid-to-lower right side of my belly will go nuts for a few seconds.. it's almost like he's going at a punching bag, just one blow after the other, very quickly. It's such a shocking feeling! Last night he was kicking something or punching something on my right side that actually hurt me! It made me jump a few times! I was so surprised because I haven't felt that yet anything quite like that yet!

Does anyone know the pro's and con's between the use of forceps vs. suction in assisted delivery? I've read that some women prefer suction to forceps but in the little research I've done, they both seem to be pretty harmless but forceps seem to work best. Anyone here know what the biggest differences are? I'm having a hard time actually finding material to read up on this subject. Thanks!

Joining week 29 today. Last of the 20's. Only two more months to go... I'm going for my glucose test this morning. Saw the baby dr. on Wed. for the 1st time. I mentioned that baby moves a lot, then for three days not so much, then back to a lot. He said to relax in bed if baby isn't moving and if I don't feel 10 movements in an hour to let him know and he'll set up an ultrasound. I would really like to see baby again, we'll see what happens. Baby is moving good since the appt.
Naaster - 6.9 hours ago
My cut looks great, but my tummy flab around it looks gnasty! It healed up good but I gained weight right after and the stretchy skin above it didn't every tighten up after the second baby. I asked a fellow nurse if she thought they would tuck in a bit of extra skin, and she told me there's a legal limit, like 6 inches or something they can sew in, lol. I dont' think that will be enough! But I'll still ask! I'm sure after baby number 3 and at age 34 I will have plenty of flab to tuck in!
~2nd TyMe Mom~ - 7.5 hours ago
my cut looks good though but my cousins looks horrible its like they double stpled her or something i think hers ripped back open and anyway it isnt pretty mine healed good!
~2nd TyMe Mom~ - 7.7 hours ago
c-sections are horrible its been since 2004 since i had mine and i still dont have feeling around the cut....you cant walk it takes your body longer to heal! thats why i am VBAC this time.
clauds1st - 11 hours ago
sarahann - I too had a midwife appt today and she made me turn to the side, when she was listening to the babies heart beat, because her heartbeat was beating too fast. As soon as I turned she was fine. Only bad thing is that she has somehow turned to breech position. But I swear I felt her turning again today. She has been very active all day.
emisamommyagain - 13 hours ago
babyberry~I'm so jealous!! I won't be able to see it until maybe next week. It's not one I want my kids to see and don't have anyone to watch them right now. We have Thanksgiving here next Thursday and I will have a full house, so perhaps someone will while hubby and I go.... he actually liked Twilight too LOL! Off to 30 weeks, see ya'll there!
sarahann - 13.2 hours ago
Well, I went to the doctor today because I was getting regular, painful contractions for over an hour. Thankfully they stopped about 10 minutes before I saw the doctor but she had a feel around and said the baby's head is really very low, putting pressure on my cervix. She told me I have to rest and lie down to get the pressure off my cervix but if I get more contractions to go straight to the hospital. She also said that my belly is very big, she said it's the size of a full term belly. Apparently that would be making the contractions worse too. She checked bub's heartbeat with the doppler, with me lying on my back and his heart rate went through the roof. She made me lie on my side and his heart rate went back to normal, so now I'm not allowed to lie on my back anymore. I feel like I'm falling apart. I just hope I can keep my baby healthy for a few more weeks.
babyberry29 - 13.3 hours ago
emisamommyagain- your day sounds so exhausting what a nightmare for you i can understand about your weather as we are having the same problem here the rain and winds have been really bad and that was part of the reason why i fell the other day while trying to rush my friends are taking me to see twilight new moon tonight to cheer me up am sooooo excited feel like a 12 year old lol see you all in week 30!
clauds1st - 15 hours ago
8 weeks left until I go on maternity leave. I hope i can last through the summer heat. Air conditioning being installed on the 5th of December. Thank goodness! I'm actually a little scared that I only have 10 weeks left. I feel like I'm not prepared for this life changing experience.

OMGosh WHAT A DAY!!! My two daughters had dentist appointments today... Went and picked them up, then ran home for them to brush their teeth and go to the bathroom (town is an hour away) All ready and heading out the door when I realize my keys are locked in the car with the engine running. I called the school cause pretty much the only person I know is the attendance officer and she sends down a maintenance man to help me. Well he took 20 minutes getting here (we live 2 mins from the school) and then another twenty trying to get the keys out of the car. Had to cancel the appointments. Well i had a doc appt for 2 hours later and wouldn't be back in time to get the girls from school so I kept them home and they went with me. On the hwy into town, three trees had literally just fallen (I was the third car after them) across and blocked traffic in both directions. We have been having really nasty weather and didn't have power from Monday night til tuesday night. Anyway, they get the tress cleaned up with a chainsaw and a semi truck pulling them out of the way and I make it to my appointment with 2 minutes to spare...good thing I was early initially! Things at the doc were good, my blood pressure was back to normal, blood sugar was still a little low, finally gained 5 lbs! But I have a bladder infection. Talked to the doc about my birth plan and not having an medical intervention unless necessary, he ok'd everything. Went to go pick up my contacts and they aren't in yet *sigh* ordered glasses and they will take 3-4 weeks *sigh again* Almost fell asleep during the drive home and had to pull over and rest. get home and realize I forgot the prescription for the bladder infection. I swear, when it rains, it pours!!! It rained 1.8 inches here yesterday and 1.41 so far today LOL
twogreatkids - 21.8 hours ago
I just went to the OB last night. I am conviced I am having a 10lb baby. My first was 9.3. I told her that, she measured me and I am measuring at 33. She then told me that we should do a quick ultra sound. Fluid levels are normal. Baby is big 3.5 lbs already. SHe said we will do another ultrasound later, but she said when a mom says she is having a 10lb baby, and she honestly thinks she is.... then it is probably going to be a 10lb baby. My 9lb baby was vaginal, so I think I could do a 10lb one. I will let you all know. I know lovelyloney was measuring big... maybe when our babies come out we will see who's is bigger. I hope yours;)

rayray - 22.5 hours ago
Sprout1-did you find out that you are having a girl?
sprout1 - 22.5 hours ago
The BF just called my OB and found out that I measured exactly at 28 weeks.... That means she's a small baby?
secondstar - 22.6 hours ago
babygirl - I'm going on Sunday as an early birthday celebration (my birthday's on Thanksgiving so I'll be busy being a hostess)! Hoping that by going to an afternoon show we'll miss some of the crowds of teens who think it's only cool to see movies at night ;)
clauds1st - 23.4 hours ago
babygirl - I can't wait to see New Moon. But I'm going to wait until things have calmed down a little. I'll give it 2-3 weeks.
clauds1st - 23.5 hours ago
corypritch - I work for a large company with lots of people from different teams on the 1 floor. The people in my immediate team know I'm pregnant. I told them when I was 20 weeks. The rest are all engineers. They wouldn't care so nothing has been said to them. Just came back from my midwives appt. She wasn't happy because I was 10 minutes late and I was the 1st appt for the day. Lucky she even saw me! Anyway, she didn't mention anything about the glucose test so I assume all went well. She called the pathology lab for the results and didn't comment on anything, so I guess it's safe to assume I'm ok?? I was thinking about all these other things and was scared of her because she was clearly upset I was 10 minutes late. I felt like a naughty kid. I hate it when you remember something when it's too late to go back and ask. She checked the baby. According to her 'wheel', which tells you how far along you are, I'm only 29.5wks. I know I'll be 30 wks tomorrow. She said I was measuring 30.5wks. And 2 weeks ago at my dr's appt the baby was facing down, now she seems to have turned around. I remember exactly when too! It was Monday night. I had an awful sleep because the baby was moving so much. Now I know why!
rayray - 23.5 hours ago
sprout1- I really dont want to have a c-section either! My husband was born by c-section because he was breech and both his sisters gave birth by c-sections and keep trying to tell me how great it was, my sisters gave birth by c-section and tell me how horrible it was, I really don't want to have one unless absolutely necessary, but that seems to be the only way anyone gives birth around here lately. I am scared my boy will be really big as well, I've gained 40 pounds already! I'm 5'10' and weighed 140 pre-preggo. I think I will hit the 200 mark by the time he comes out! AAAHHHHH! Quitting smoking is what I blame it on, but at least the baby will be a lot healthier.
babygirl0330 - 23.9 hours ago
Anyone else going to see New Moon? I'm going this weekend and I'm so excited I could pee my preggy pants! I know, I know....I'm such a tween (:
sprout1 - 1 days ago
He did measure me but while he was doing it we were discussing other things and then I completely forgot to ask! :( As far as how the baby will come out, he's told me if the baby gets too big they'll have to do a c-section.
~2nd TyMe Mom~ - 1 days ago
well sprout you dont look like a fat ass to me and i dont know where your puttin it at cause you def dont look like you have gained that much from your pictures.....maybe you have GD they say the baby gets to big thats why they need to catch it...did they say how much your measuring?
sprout1 - 1 days ago
I had another doc visit today. I'm now up to 31 lbs and my ob keeps scaring me that if the baby gets too big the only concern is how it will come out. I don't want to have a c-section. :( :(
Naaster - 1 days ago
Ug, I hate how people think it's 'SO CUTE' when I waddle. I do that because it's uncomfortable to walk, but glad I'm entertaining! Everyone feels the need to point it out, too. But I'm not a snappy type person, so I just smile and hope they offer to help me with whatever I'm doing, I'm devious!
babygirl0330 - 1 days ago
Oh ladies, I am so frustrated. The girl that sits next to me has the worst hygiene. She doesn't wash her hands after using the bathroom, she coughs/sneezes and doesn't bother to cover her mouth. Girl blows her nose and wipes the snot she got on her hands on her pants! I put a HUGE bottle of sanitizer inbetween our desks thinking she would get the hint. Well, the last few days she has been worse then usual so I asked her if she was sick and she said no she feels fine. She apparently snuck away at lunch today to go to the doctor and they just announced she has strep and will be out for 2 days. Just seems so inconsiderate that she would purposely not tell me. What is WITH people?? Sorry about the rant!
corypritch - 1 days ago
claud - does your boss still not know that you are pregnant? if not, why? i am so obviously pregnant that there would be no way that I could hide it at this point.
jane81 - 1 days ago
sprout1, lol, the same thing happened to me also. A couple of times, actually. A few nights ago I got a cramp that wasn't SO painful, but it wouldn't go away for like 15 minutes!!!
clauds1st - 1 days ago
Red wine has the same affect over me too!! When I go to restaurants it's all I smell. It smells so good...it's going to be hard not drinking over the 'silly season'. My boss at work is always watching, looking for signs of me putting my hands on my stomach or on my back or waddling. I feel paranoid about doing anything at work that's remotely associated with pregnancy. Not only do I have people stare at my stomach (ppl who don't realise I am pregnant yet), I also have people making comments about me doing pregnant things. He says it as a joke but I feel like slapping him in the head when he does. D*ck head!
babygirl0330 - 1 days ago
I did notice a little waddle also...LOL. My hips have been bugging me so I think it helps. I don't care if I have to walk like a duck if it makes me feel better! My doc has been out of town so I am just barely having my glucose test tomorrow. I have to admit that I am scared! I'm a worrier so any test freaks me out but I also hate getting my blood drawn. I really hope they don't tell me to cut back on the sugar. I've been craving carbs and sugar lately. I also haven't been weighed in 5 weeks so I am so scared to step on that little scale!
corypritch - 1 days ago
I find myself swinging my arms more than normal, I think it is to keep me going. My husband said they help propel me forward and if I were to stop swinging them I would fall over. A$$, but it always makes me laugh when he says it. Probably because it might be remotely true.
emisamommyagain - 1 days ago
Yeah, i walk like I'm 80 LOL. My husband makes fun of me when I get up to stand from somewhere low, he's such a turd!
LilBoy4Jenn - 1 days ago
Anyone else starting to notice that they're walking differently? I feel like my hips must have gotten wider over the last few days! At this point, I'll naturally waddle if I don't pay attention! I started at 125 lbs (5'6) and am up 15 lbs, so I haven't gained too much, but I still want to naturally waddle! These hips must be getting ready!!

LilBoy4Jenn - 1 days ago
Hollysum! So funny! I've always liked beer, but now the smell of wine is soooo amazing to me. And normally if I had wine, I liked white wine, but red wine just smells like heaven lately! I was a smoker before this pregnancy and quit as soon as I found out. My hubby, totally on his own, quit his smoking habit as well - what a sweetie! I don't know how he does it! So far, I don't miss it often, but sometimes after a big meal, a cigarette sounds so good. I'm hoping I can be a good girl after the baby is here and stay away from the cigs - if anything, I'll just have to remind myself how my hubby didn't HAVE to quit, but did for the sake of us!

~2nd TyMe Mom~ - 7.7 hours ago

sarahann - I too had a midwife appt today and she made me turn to the side, when she was listening to the babies heart beat, because her heartbeat was beating too fast. As soon as I turned she was fine. Only bad thing is that she has somehow turned to breech position. But I swear I felt her turning again today. She has been very active all day.

babyberry~I'm so jealous!! I won't be able to see it until maybe next week. It's not one I want my kids to see and don't have anyone to watch them right now. We have Thanksgiving here next Thursday and I will have a full house, so perhaps someone will while hubby and I go.... he actually liked Twilight too LOL! Off to 30 weeks, see ya'll there!

Well, I went to the doctor today because I was getting regular, painful contractions for over an hour. Thankfully they stopped about 10 minutes before I saw the doctor but she had a feel around and said the baby's head is really very low, putting pressure on my cervix. She told me I have to rest and lie down to get the pressure off my cervix but if I get more contractions to go straight to the hospital. She also said that my belly is very big, she said it's the size of a full term belly. Apparently that would be making the contractions worse too. She checked bub's heartbeat with the doppler, with me lying on my back and his heart rate went through the roof. She made me lie on my side and his heart rate went back to normal, so now I'm not allowed to lie on my back anymore. I feel like I'm falling apart. I just hope I can keep my baby healthy for a few more weeks.

8 weeks left until I go on maternity leave. I hope i can last through the summer heat. Air conditioning being installed on the 5th of December. Thank goodness! I'm actually a little scared that I only have 10 weeks left. I feel like I'm not prepared for this life changing experience.
urnchstephie - 15.8 hours ago

OMGosh WHAT A DAY!!! My two daughters had dentist appointments today... Went and picked them up, then ran home for them to brush their teeth and go to the bathroom (town is an hour away) All ready and heading out the door when I realize my keys are locked in the car with the engine running. I called the school cause pretty much the only person I know is the attendance officer and she sends down a maintenance man to help me. Well he took 20 minutes getting here (we live 2 mins from the school) and then another twenty trying to get the keys out of the car. Had to cancel the appointments. Well i had a doc appt for 2 hours later and wouldn't be back in time to get the girls from school so I kept them home and they went with me. On the hwy into town, three trees had literally just fallen (I was the third car after them) across and blocked traffic in both directions. We have been having really nasty weather and didn't have power from Monday night til tuesday night. Anyway, they get the tress cleaned up with a chainsaw and a semi truck pulling them out of the way and I make it to my appointment with 2 minutes to spare...good thing I was early initially! Things at the doc were good, my blood pressure was back to normal, blood sugar was still a little low, finally gained 5 lbs! But I have a bladder infection. Talked to the doc about my birth plan and not having an medical intervention unless necessary, he ok'd everything. Went to go pick up my contacts and they aren't in yet *sigh* ordered glasses and they will take 3-4 weeks *sigh again* Almost fell asleep during the drive home and had to pull over and rest. get home and realize I forgot the prescription for the bladder infection. I swear, when it rains, it pours!!! It rained 1.8 inches here yesterday and 1.41 so far today LOL

I just went to the OB last night. I am conviced I am having a 10lb baby. My first was 9.3. I told her that, she measured me and I am measuring at 33. She then told me that we should do a quick ultra sound. Fluid levels are normal. Baby is big 3.5 lbs already. SHe said we will do another ultrasound later, but she said when a mom says she is having a 10lb baby, and she honestly thinks she is.... then it is probably going to be a 10lb baby. My 9lb baby was vaginal, so I think I could do a 10lb one. I will let you all know. I know lovelyloney was measuring big... maybe when our babies come out we will see who's is bigger. I hope yours;)

Thats awesome sprout! Beautiful name! I was kinda hopin for a girl, my hubby had his heart set on a boy, I'm happy either way really, tickled for you!
babygirl0330 - 22.2 hours ago
secondstar - I am going Sunday afternoon too with the same hope of missing most of the crowd but we will see! Thank god we have assigned seats!
sprout1 - 22.4 hours ago
Yep yep! It's a girl. Alyssa Kennedy. :D
rayray - 22.5 hours ago
Sprout1-did you find out that you are having a girl?
sprout1 - 22.5 hours ago
The BF just called my OB and found out that I measured exactly at 28 weeks.... That means she's a small baby?
secondstar - 22.6 hours ago
babygirl - I'm going on Sunday as an early birthday celebration (my birthday's on Thanksgiving so I'll be busy being a hostess)! Hoping that by going to an afternoon show we'll miss some of the crowds of teens who think it's only cool to see movies at night ;)
clauds1st - 23.4 hours ago
babygirl - I can't wait to see New Moon. But I'm going to wait until things have calmed down a little. I'll give it 2-3 weeks.
clauds1st - 23.5 hours ago
corypritch - I work for a large company with lots of people from different teams on the 1 floor. The people in my immediate team know I'm pregnant. I told them when I was 20 weeks. The rest are all engineers. They wouldn't care so nothing has been said to them. Just came back from my midwives appt. She wasn't happy because I was 10 minutes late and I was the 1st appt for the day. Lucky she even saw me! Anyway, she didn't mention anything about the glucose test so I assume all went well. She called the pathology lab for the results and didn't comment on anything, so I guess it's safe to assume I'm ok?? I was thinking about all these other things and was scared of her because she was clearly upset I was 10 minutes late. I felt like a naughty kid. I hate it when you remember something when it's too late to go back and ask. She checked the baby. According to her 'wheel', which tells you how far along you are, I'm only 29.5wks. I know I'll be 30 wks tomorrow. She said I was measuring 30.5wks. And 2 weeks ago at my dr's appt the baby was facing down, now she seems to have turned around. I remember exactly when too! It was Monday night. I had an awful sleep because the baby was moving so much. Now I know why!

sprout1- I really dont want to have a c-section either! My husband was born by c-section because he was breech and both his sisters gave birth by c-sections and keep trying to tell me how great it was, my sisters gave birth by c-section and tell me how horrible it was, I really don't want to have one unless absolutely necessary, but that seems to be the only way anyone gives birth around here lately. I am scared my boy will be really big as well, I've gained 40 pounds already! I'm 5'10' and weighed 140 pre-preggo. I think I will hit the 200 mark by the time he comes out! AAAHHHHH! Quitting smoking is what I blame it on, but at least the baby will be a lot healthier.
babygirl0330 - 23.9 hours ago
Anyone else going to see New Moon? I'm going this weekend and I'm so excited I could pee my preggy pants! I know, I know....I'm such a tween (:
sprout1 - 1 days ago
He did measure me but while he was doing it we were discussing other things and then I completely forgot to ask! :( As far as how the baby will come out, he's told me if the baby gets too big they'll have to do a c-section.
On a good note he approved everything on my Birth Plan. Except, he said the hospital where he delivers doesn't allow the father to catch the baby. I'm hoping since I'm going to a diff. hospital, the dr there will allow it. I'm just glad he approved delayed cord clamping.... that was my highlight this visit. The rest was poop.
~2nd TyMe Mom~ - 1 days ago
well sprout you dont look like a fat ass to me and i dont know where your puttin it at cause you def dont look like you have gained that much from your pictures.....maybe you have GD they say the baby gets to big thats why they need to catch it...did they say how much your measuring?
sprout1 - 1 days ago
I had another doc visit today. I'm now up to 31 lbs and my ob keeps scaring me that if the baby gets too big the only concern is how it will come out. I don't want to have a c-section. :( :(
I have my glucose test on Tuesday. The 1-hour one. But I think I'm going to cut out ALL junk food from here on out. I haven't been doing too bad, with junk food but obviously the little bit I do allow myself to have is making me a fat ass!! I won't be enjoying the holidays this season....
Naaster - 1 days ago
Ug, I hate how people think it's 'SO CUTE' when I waddle. I do that because it's uncomfortable to walk, but glad I'm entertaining! Everyone feels the need to point it out, too. But I'm not a snappy type person, so I just smile and hope they offer to help me with whatever I'm doing, I'm devious!
babygirl0330 - 1 days ago
Oh ladies, I am so frustrated. The girl that sits next to me has the worst hygiene. She doesn't wash her hands after using the bathroom, she coughs/sneezes and doesn't bother to cover her mouth. Girl blows her nose and wipes the snot she got on her hands on her pants! I put a HUGE bottle of sanitizer inbetween our desks thinking she would get the hint. Well, the last few days she has been worse then usual so I asked her if she was sick and she said no she feels fine. She apparently snuck away at lunch today to go to the doctor and they just announced she has strep and will be out for 2 days. Just seems so inconsiderate that she would purposely not tell me. What is WITH people?? Sorry about the rant!
corypritch - 1 days ago
claud - does your boss still not know that you are pregnant? if not, why? i am so obviously pregnant that there would be no way that I could hide it at this point.
jane81 - 1 days ago
sprout1, lol, the same thing happened to me also. A couple of times, actually. A few nights ago I got a cramp that wasn't SO painful, but it wouldn't go away for like 15 minutes!!!
clauds1st - 1 days ago
Red wine has the same affect over me too!! When I go to restaurants it's all I smell. It smells so good...it's going to be hard not drinking over the 'silly season'. My boss at work is always watching, looking for signs of me putting my hands on my stomach or on my back or waddling. I feel paranoid about doing anything at work that's remotely associated with pregnancy. Not only do I have people stare at my stomach (ppl who don't realise I am pregnant yet), I also have people making comments about me doing pregnant things. He says it as a joke but I feel like slapping him in the head when he does. D*ck head!
babygirl0330 - 1 days ago
I did notice a little waddle also...LOL. My hips have been bugging me so I think it helps. I don't care if I have to walk like a duck if it makes me feel better! My doc has been out of town so I am just barely having my glucose test tomorrow. I have to admit that I am scared! I'm a worrier so any test freaks me out but I also hate getting my blood drawn. I really hope they don't tell me to cut back on the sugar. I've been craving carbs and sugar lately. I also haven't been weighed in 5 weeks so I am so scared to step on that little scale!
corypritch - 1 days ago
I find myself swinging my arms more than normal, I think it is to keep me going. My husband said they help propel me forward and if I were to stop swinging them I would fall over. A$$, but it always makes me laugh when he says it. Probably because it might be remotely true.
emisamommyagain - 1 days ago
Yeah, i walk like I'm 80 LOL. My husband makes fun of me when I get up to stand from somewhere low, he's such a turd!
LilBoy4Jenn - 1 days ago
Anyone else starting to notice that they're walking differently? I feel like my hips must have gotten wider over the last few days! At this point, I'll naturally waddle if I don't pay attention! I started at 125 lbs (5'6) and am up 15 lbs, so I haven't gained too much, but I still want to naturally waddle! These hips must be getting ready!!
risha k - 1 days ago
sprout, tha happened to me - and hubbie thought I had gone into labour early...lol
LilBoy4Jenn - 1 days ago
Hollysum! So funny! I've always liked beer, but now the smell of wine is soooo amazing to me. And normally if I had wine, I liked white wine, but red wine just smells like heaven lately! I was a smoker before this pregnancy and quit as soon as I found out. My hubby, totally on his own, quit his smoking habit as well - what a sweetie! I don't know how he does it! So far, I don't miss it often, but sometimes after a big meal, a cigarette sounds so good. I'm hoping I can be a good girl after the baby is here and stay away from the cigs - if anything, I'll just have to remind myself how my hubby didn't HAVE to quit, but did for the sake of us!
