Born & Birth stories



Your baby's crown-to-rump length at this time is approximately 14.4 inches and the total length is approximately 21.5 inches. The average baby weighs a little more than 7 pounds now and is preparing for birth. You are probably as big as you are going to get and may be uncomfortable now. Most women gain between 25 and 35 pounds during their pregnancy. Your uterus is about 7-8 inches above your bellybutton now.

Although your baby continues to grow and develop inside of your uterus, there is not much room for him to move about. All of your baby's organ systems are now complete and the lungs were the last to fully mature.

If you are uncomfortable with your pregnancy at this time, you are not alone. Most women are ready to deliver their babies. It would be very unusual for you to not be uncomfortable at this time. Your uterus has grown a lot and now fills your entire pelvis and abdomen. Try not to ask your doctor to induce you, unless it is medically necessary. Your cervix is ripening in preparation for delivery and your bladder is under a lot of pressure. You may feel nervous about the upcoming labor. You will know when you are in labor because contractions will get worse when you move around and they will also get stronger and more frequent. Other signs of labor are the breaking of your water or a bloody show as the mucus that plugged your cervix becomes dislodged.

Most of the lanugo on your baby should be gone by now. Your baby still may have some on his shoulders and in the creases of his body. Your baby's toenails have reached the end of his toes. The umbilical cord is about a half inch thick and may be wrapped around him. The umbilical cord still supplies the baby with nutrients that he needs. After delivery, your baby's umbilical cord will be clamped and cut. After it is cut, he will be an independent human being and must perform all of his body functions on his own. Your baby will get antibodies from your body that give his immune system a boost.

Almost there! Did you know that we also have a month by month calendar for babies? You can find it in the menu under `Babies`: Month by month

I'm with all of you still here. I have been having small contractions for three days, so hopefully they will really get moving soon. Congrats to everyone who had their babies already.

shellybelly88 - 4.4 hours ago
babygates- I get that too! I keep thinking omg, is it starting, but i also notice its like her head moving or something. Really painful and takes my breath away too. It always kind of makes me laugh though...painful but quite funny at the same time. Everytime i go to the loo i keep expecting to see my mucus plug in there....but still nothing. Just want something, anything to start! xxxxxx

dezire - 4.6 hours ago
i live 45 mins from the hospital..so its gonna be a long Ride when we acually go into labor lol...

troi127 - 5.9 hours ago
Morning ladies, gosh, aren't we close now! went to see midwife last week and they gave me a c-section date incase I go over. No matter what our little Xander will be here by Nov 18th (if not sooner!). I'm lucky compared to some of you that just 6-7 years ago they built a new hospital in our town which happens to be a 3 minute drive from our front door :0) I had my second baby there and it was lovely compared to the old one I had my first at. Good luck to all those having their babies soon xxx

Calling for all Labour dust lol!!

kirra82 - 8.2 hours ago
So glad Im not alone, I also get that horrible sharp pain sometimes when the baby moves and then other times just randomly. I am also 30 min + from hospital, this is my 2nd child and every pain I get I wonder if this is it, with my 1st I only hot bad BH in the last few weeks but this time I feel like I am getting/have my period nearly all day everyday, so crampy, today I took paracetamol cause I just couldnt handle another crampy day. Only 2 days till due date and I really hope I dont go over, I dont know if I can deal with another week or so of this....... I hope we all get to hold our babies sooner rather than later. Take care :)

excitedmisty - 8.4 hours ago
marinewife...i'm with you...i'm an hour+ from the hospital...i tried to lay down and get some sleep, but the cramping/sharp pains aren't letting me :0(

marinewife86 - 8.5 hours ago
I'm also throwing up, losing mucus, loose stools, headaches..I just hope labor is soooon..I can't take this anymore. I'm 30 min from the hospital so when its time I gotta go ASAP!

marinewife86 - 8.7 hours ago
babygates..i have that pain, its like a sharp knife trying to come through. I get it standing up..sitting down..laying down..and its not just when he moves..its random and makes me want to scream!!

babygates - 9.2 hours ago
I've been having a lot of sharp pain down there. Its usually only when my LO is moving around.. I'm guessing she is just hitting a nerve or something but it's so painful. It kind of takes my breath away. Second day with it and then it goes away when she stops moving. Anyone else have this going on? Oooohhh I can't wait til she arrives!

emma 141109 - 10.1 hours ago
Lynn3 - I couldn't have put it better myself I feel exactly like you!! I just feel so physically & mentally drained, I’m so emotional, can’t get comfortable no matter what I do & the heat is killing me. I fell so sorry for my fiancé today, I’ve been so grumpy! When will this baby come out?? Calling for all Labour dust lol!!

discokitten - 10.5 hours ago
One week later and I am still only 2cm, but I am now thinning and her head is lower. I'm also having loads of contractions but I think it will be another week before she decides to come.

excitedmisty - 13.5 hours ago
ugh...i'm having awful pressure down there tonight :0( it's going to lead for a LONG evening...

el0324 - 13.9 hours ago
does anyone else have a stuffy nose on one side everyday?

GinaLynn - 14.2 hours ago
I see many of you still here..hang in there! Well I had Ava Lynn on Oct 29th she weighed 7lb 1oz and had a ton of dark hair. I will be posting my birth story when i have more time and get feeling better. I had some lung problems in my first trimester and refused to have surgery till Ava was born. I had planned to when she was a month old but when we were set to go home after her birth they decided to to an x-ray and it showed that my problem had gotten worse over the past few months and was life threatening so i had lung surgery monday. Ava got to stay with me the whole time but i wasnt able to see my 10 mo old for like 10 days and i was a complete emotional reck so im home with my babies I love them so much and im thankful to be here to take care of them. I came home early so i still have a chest tube but we are doing great otherwise. take care

lynn3 - 16.1 hours ago
Anyone else riding the emotional roller coaster? I'm so grumpy lately. Short-tempered with DH. Sooo ready to meet this LO and get our lives onto a routine and back to normal. And i just have a feeling i am going to go past my EDD. Just feeling frustrated, sore, tired lately. Feel like i am spending a lot of energy looking for sings of beginning labor. Is anyone else feeling this way???

emma 141109 - 17 hours ago

Back from the hospital with my new baby! went into labor late halloween night! Scary surprise for sure! lol...I woke up at 2am with what felt like a bad stomach ache...it didnt feel at all like contractions that I could time or anything...just a dull aching pain like I ate something that didnt settle with my stomach,...but I just knew something was not right,...by the time i got in the car with hubby I started feeling the pain in waves- every two minutes! We were flying to the hospital! we got there just in time to have the baby...I was at 4 centimeters only, but as soon as my whater broke within an hour I was pushing...so scary...but Avie Virginia is here - 8.5 lbs and 21 inches long! yay! no longer preggers and feeling so much skinnier already! I hope all you ladies have your babies soon soon soon! I know that 'waiting' feeling all too well!

So I am 80% effaced and 2 centimeters. Contractions come every one in a while. How much longer? What does this all mean? 80% seems like a lot.

laketahoe - 2 days ago
