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.

TaraDiane1983 - 19.9 hours ago
Hi there everyone!! I have a quick question.. Can us pregnant women get our hair colored???? Is it safe to the baby??

kboney29 - 20.8 hours ago
cindarella - From what I have read there is not a lot of research on how the inhaled chemicals can affect you so they advise that pregnant and nursing women don't get spray tans. But if you have your heart set on it, then I would check with your OB.

1sttimem0m24 - 21 hours ago
It was nice chattin with all you ladies and readin ur post n week 15 but this is my last day in week 15 so i see you all in week 16 love ya

mrsjdwilliams - 22.6 hours ago
OMG TOO EXCITED! so i definitely thought i wouldn't be finding out the sex until sometime january. i go on post and they havne't even scheduled my u/s yet and radiology is normally booked for a month or so. anyways hubby surprised me and scheduled a appt off post at a u/s place to get one done on the 1st...which is like a week away! i'm so excited only thing is.. i guess that'll put me around 17 1/2 wks. is it too early for a 3d???????

cindarella - 23.6 hours ago
Hi Everyone. Its great to be in week 15!! I have my engagement party next week and would really love to get a spray tan! does anyone know if this is safe during pregnancy?

mrsjdwilliams - 1 days ago
i have an eye infection and was given vigamox for it which is an antibiotic. i looked it up to see if it is safe. it says it is a category C so they don't know. i called my dr's office and spoke with the advise nurse she told me to call the opthamologist back. however they are closed. has anyone used this while pregnant is it safe? althought it is eye drops i'm still worried since it is an antibiotic

1sttimem0m24 - 1 days ago

Had coffee today for the first time in a long time and I am realizing how much it focuses me and how much I've missed it! Still wont drink everyday but once in a while I just need it!

twotimestx - 1 days ago
Hi everyone - so glad to see i'm not the only one with dull cramping. I've had it all day today.. and according to this site I should totally be showing, but I'm not. and this is my 2nd. I am a little, but by no means is obvious. I've also begun to feel the baby. It's so soft and subtle that sometimes I don't trust to think it's the baby...but I've become familair with it from yesterday and today. Still very soft tho. is anyone else feeling this? Like teeny tiny little taps?

luciaorg - 1 days ago
thx illy I will that makes me feel loads better! ; ) and I will show this to my hubby who will HAVE to let me rest ( my 15month old wont tho! ) xx

illy2 - 1 days ago
lucia.. i've been having the same thing recently. think it's just the uterus growing and ligaments stretching. try to take it easy this weekend because when i had it bad my dr said i'd maybe been overdoing it a bit.

brittany lane - 1 days ago
I wasnt suspto to be in week 15 till tomarrow but I have some problems and had to go to the er last night ,everything is ok!! I had 2 m/c b4 this one so I was I little more worried then I would usually be. But I found out my due date in now May 11th moved me up 4 days not much but it was fun to know. We done a u/s and there is one baby and he/she is one active baby, it did not stop moving the entire time Im so surprized I cant feel the movement. I still am having alot of pain but at least I know my baby is ok!!

luciaorg - 1 days ago
i;m freakin out here - anyone had any crampy feelings - very mild and not regular but I feel that sort of tightening - dont think had these with first baby -argh - I thought I was getting away with easy pregnancy this time ; (

Biologymom - 1 days ago
I told my boss I was prego this week. I teach classes and our finals are the same week as my due date. She is worried about my being able to finish out the semester and has taken away my day class. I get to keep my night class because I can coteach it with my husband. i am mad about this, but at the same time i was afraid about working so late into the 3rd trimester. It is so hard to balance my feelings.

chanigirl - 2 days ago
yay.. 15 weeks today, im so happy.. not long to go.. good luck to all the mommies.. have a fantastic friday all!!!

My-two-babies - 2 days ago
As far as im aware its ok to lay on your tummy until it gets to uncomfortable for you as for lying on your back, i think they recommend that you dont well not for a long period of time anyway, i get uncomfortable lying on my side all the time so i lye on my back even for a little bit to give my sides a rest. Lying on your side is defiantly the better option

pregnantwithblessing2 - 2 days ago
I know I'm late on saying this but it's a HUGE blessing to be in week 15..here's to a healthy and successful 25 more weeks!!

1sttimem0m24 - 2 days ago

My-two-babies - 2 days ago
I have been feeling this little once kick for the last 2 days, i love it, now being pregnant is becoming so much more real to me

TaraDiane1983 - 2 days ago
Has anyone else had a dull ache in their abdomen lately?? I panicked and called my Doctor and had a heartbeat check. He said everything sounded great w/ the baby HB of 149... He thinks it must be my tummy growing and ligaments stretching....sure scared me though.. I've had to MC prior to this pregnancy.. I'm a worry wart

1sttimem0m24 - 2 days ago
Well you can't hear the heartbeat until 18weeks on the sethscope Is there a problem layin on ur stomach or backside

grapefruit22 - 2 days ago
I had the H1N1 shot last week. No side effects so far.

lovahlyn - 2 days ago
Kel, i got the swine flu shot on nov 2nd. i dont thnk i had any side affects from it, but im still a bit nervous. My bf didnt want me to take the shot, and i regretted taking it, only because its sooo new. Otherwise i just stay on the positive note, and hopefully im protected.

lovahlyn - 2 days ago
Jamie, i tried the stethoscope the other day. I couldn't get the heartbeat but im think i heard movement. I heard the further along you get, the better the device will work.

babyblessings2010 - 2 days ago
Dr appt tomorrow - I think they are doing the full Anatomy U/S and standard blood work. Has anyone else had this type of u/s yet? Isn't it too early? We already know it is a boy but just want to see the little guy kicking away. I thought I used to feel him but that could have been gas or something else. Nothing lately except a belly that popped like a round ball. A bit anxious about tomorrow. Hope all is well. Maybe it is normal for mom's to go through this when they still can't feel the baby. If all goes well, we will announce it to a few close people. Hope to hear everyone else news as you find out your baby's gender and tests you are having.

babyblessings2010 - 2 days ago
kadabra122 - Thanks for sharing the link. It is interesting. LOL the fetus in the video looks like the story of Benjamin Button (movie). Older mans face on baby body.

kadabra122 - 2 days ago
I know i prob shouldnt post links on here but love watching these vids of a baby forming etc. There is a video of 15 - 20 weeks...... http://www.babycenter.com/2_inside-pregnancy-weeks-1-to-9_10302602.bc?intcmp=Nav_Global_photosandvideo_inside&pn=BC%20Homepage

kadabra122 - 2 days ago
I had a belly on me to start off with but noticed this last week or so it has got bigger...but i dont think i look pregnant yet...just bigger lol

mahihkan - 2 days ago
babyblessings2010 - My belly popped when I was 10 weeks so I look huge already. I had some lady ask when my DD was and when I told her she gave me a funny look and walked away

grapefruit22 - 2 days ago
Thanks for the reassurance, kadabra... I had additional blood work done- will find out on Monday. On the plus side, my ultrasound is scheduled for December 5th!!! I will be 18 weeks and 1 day. I can't wait!

kadabra122 - 2 days ago
Hi grapefruit - i also had high blood pressure and protein +1 in my urine a few weeks ago when i went see the consultant, but i went the other day and my bloodpressure was normal and only a trace of protein..so dont worry might have cleared up

momof609 - 2 days ago
On Monday I get to find out babys gender... if it cooperates. Im having a gender u/s done. Even though I could care less at this point after having both boys and girls, im nervous... its like you go through all those emotions when you find out your pregnant and when I find out what it is... I FEEL like its life changing as if being PG isnt enough... You get to know if your life will change cuz of a son or a daughter and it becomes so real.... GOSH 7th baby and it still makes me nervous to find out the sex. Will be a long weekend NOW OF COURSE since I want monday to come.

TaraDiane1983 - 2 days ago
kel xxx, I had the seasonal and swine flu vaccine- no symptoms. I felt great. I had it at 12 weeks

jamie05 - 2 days ago
last day in 15 wks.. curious question to all.. has any of you ever thought about using a stethoscope or has one to hear the baby's movement and heart beat? i'm thinking of getting one at walgreens.. i looked online and some are very cheap.

hupko of 3 - 2 days ago

grapefruit22 - 3 days ago
Last day in week 15. Still nervous about doctor's appt on Monday about high bp and protein in urine. I had a dream I had an invisible baby girl who wore glasses. Heeehee I haven't gained any weight but my belly is popping. It just looks like fat.

twicethespice - 3 days ago
Hey ladies, congrats to all! I'm on baby no.2 now, so a slightly diferent adventure this time around! Just wanted to say that i had the worst dirrhea & sickness last night, I have never been that sick in my entire life, plus everything is running out like water at the other end. I rang the Dr this morning and he suggests dirralite, but i've been having some cramps now so getting worried. Any thoughts?

babyblessings2010 - 3 days ago
... Had 1st noticable Braxton Hicks contraction 2 days ago when I woke up. Didn't know what the hard point in my belly was. Even mentioned it to DH to feel thinking it was our boy. LOL. How ignorant. Hardness Went down after I got up to use the bathroom. Mentioned to my sister later that day thinking there was something wrong. She said it is normal and will happen again and again. The BH contractions are practice contractions of the uterus. Very safe and normal. Whew!

babyblessings2010 - 3 days ago
There are many posts on weight loss and gain. I wish I could say that I lost but instead gained about 10 lbs already. Eating breads And oatmeal helped nausea. Dr thinks it's fine. I don't. At least belly popped this week and look more pg. Or is it the weight gain. I look pg now. Has anyone else belly popped yet?
