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.

expecting- Oh my god. Yes. I didnt even know that this was a pregnancy thing but I swear I am plucking a dark chin hair once a week and I HATE IT!

GGMarie - 3.7 hours ago
Hmm.. I have lost a total of 14 pounds since becoming pregnant. Partly due to morning sickness and partly due to loss of appetite. Today was a good day for me though. I had a huge plate of zipper peas and mashed potatoes. Awesome!! I'm not too worried about the weight loss as I was 184lbs to begin with which means I was overweight. Besides, I lost ALOT of weight with my first pregnancy and she's healthy. My sis lost alot when she was pregnant as well. Maybe it's genetic.. IDK. Anyone else losing alot of weight? Is it just me? Any thoughts? I do take my vitamins.. hopefully its enough.

expecting angel 3-hahaha! Exactly! Can't even imagine in your case. I tell my husband 'yeah you may like them better like this but you are never touching them!' I want to cry when my cat jumps on them...

LC Melbourne- I am monitered closley this time I hope I am in the clear! I get a scan every 3 weeks with my regular doctor and I will have another one with my high risk doctor March 1st, I feel more comfortable knowing I have 2 doctors taking care of us.

expecting angel 3 - 4.9 hours ago
OK stupid question..................is anyone else getting these stupid retarded hairs on their chin? I have found the last couple of days these really coarse dark hairs and it's making me crazy

BabyDahl - 5 hours ago
Thanks LC, for showing me I am not the only one. I am looking forward to being able to enjoy this at some point. I am supposed to travel next week back home- a trip I postponed at Christmas because of the morning sickness, I hope that I am better by then- would hate to miss the trip again.

expecting angel 3 - 5.1 hours ago
myhusband: i just can't even begin to explain how sore I get because of the size lol. It was bad before but now GOod grief and with my son only being 5 months old and 15 weeks pregnant again AHHHH

LC Melbourne - 5.6 hours ago
expecting far out they are crazy!! MYHUSBAND - yeh they hurt and felt heavy at the start of the pregnancy like 4-10 weeks then the heaviness went away. Not looking forward to the day the milk comes in and they are rocks, i remember the pain that day, felt like my boobs were going to rip open because it couldnt hold the milk anymore, its amazing how they just settle on there own in a few days and dont hurt afterwards. still dreading it tho.

myhusbandisawiener - 5.6 hours ago
I was an A and I am a healthy B now!...is anyone else hurting because they are so heavy? I will never complain about my small girls again...I miss fitting my bra's and t-shirts :(

expecting angel 3 - 5.6 hours ago
LC I agree. and now they're talking about having a sibling OMG

siege: I'm soooooooo jealous. I was a DD to begin and I just outgrew my F YIKES

LC Melbourne - 6.1 hours ago
expecting - wow i havent seen that. all i can say is to chose to have a child at age 55 its very selfish to the child. when they are 20 the parents are 75, its just not fair. they wont be living long enough to help them during their lives, makes me sad really. my stepmum and dad are both 46 and have my 3 year old brother and 8 month old brother, i think they are at the max age to have kids. i am so happy for them i know my stepmum is a fantastic mum and is even fitter than me most times. i think 45 is the cut off to have kids, im sorry if that sounds judemental but really are they thinking about the kids when they do it 50 years old or over? i hope i havent stood on anyones toes lol just my thoughts. everyone has a right to feel what they feel.

pregox3 - 6.1 hours ago
expecting angel 3---i hear what your saying the older you get the harder pregnancy gets on your body...i dnt think i would be able to handle it at that age but hey you never know unless it was really you ya kno?

pregox3 - 6.2 hours ago
hello all...day one of week 15! i have been feeling the baby move for a couple of days now. the movements feel like little twitches to me...this is my 3rd but i think all first time movements feel different with each pregnancy.

expecting angel 3 - 6.2 hours ago
The comment I am about to make is not meant to offend anyone. I am simply amazed. I am watching I am pregnant and 55 years old. I know how hard it is to be pregnant at 30 I just could not imagine my body being able to keep up at 55. Bless those brave souls to have a baby at that age

myhusbandisawiener - 6.7 hours ago
BabyDahl-I still have morning sickness too, I can't give much encouragement but you aren't alone! And I thought the second trimester was our time to glow :)

LC Melbourne - 6.9 hours ago
siege haha! yes one of the many perks of pregnancy. before my daughter i was a big C and then after her and breastfeeding i have stayed a big D now, this pregnancy who knows how big they'll get when my milk comes in. i know my hubby loves it haha. I read this is ur 5th pregnancy and this will be ur 2nd baby? if u dont mind me asking did they all end early? are you confident you are in the clear being 15 weeks now? im really sorry for your losses, i had one loss but it was really early and i was pregnant with this baby 6 weeks after so i was pretty lucky.

Siege - 7 hours ago
I love my temporary boob job LOL I am a small B normally and I am a small C right now I will get a lot bigger once the milk comes in.

LC Melbourne - 7 hours ago
sahm - wow you poor thing! yes i have heard of many women having it so bad that can happen. with my daughter i was sick 24/7 until 14 weeks i lost 17 pounds and was pretty sick but i bounced back quickly and the rest of the pregnancy was perfect. this time around its no where near as bad morning sickness and not as often, i have lost 6 pounds but nothing like last time and it is going on a little longer, im hoping im not one of the mums that get it throughout and staying as positive as possible it'll subside soon enough. thanks for sharing ur experince i bet it was awful! :o(

SAHM-with-children - 7.1 hours ago
LC- I am not trying to keep the neg. on this but my nausea with my one girl never quit they had to induce me because I was throwing up and loosing so much weight with her that the risks were to high to keep me going with it all, so sometimes it doesn't end till you give birth and then other times yes it does

LC Melbourne - 7.2 hours ago
babydahl - i am still suffering from it, morning and night on and off. was getting better like you and now its back. i am 15w3d i thought it would be over by now. i have lost 6 pounds so far, i am looking forward to eating properly and being well and funnily enough gaining some weight. i hope u feel better soon. don;t worry its normal. just keep hydrated and it'll stop one day for good.

expecting angel 3 - 7.3 hours ago
I wish I could feel the baby move now. It would sure help with as much as i miss DH right now.

BabyDahl - 7.4 hours ago
Is anyone else still having problems with morning sickness? It seemed to be getting better and the past week it has been worse. I am starting to lose my mind and just want to feel better. Any encouragement would be great!

Siege - 8 hours ago
I find myself longing for movement I don't feel it always and can go several hours with nothing I find myself second guessing what I have felt and then poof there it is again, can't wait for the big kicks. This is my 5th pregnancy with only one child so far.

myhusbandisawiener - 8.7 hours ago
sylee-Yes!! All the time. I get lectures constantly but I haven't eaten meat in 20 years, I just can't imagine at this point. I try to be careful and get heaps of protein and iron. But yeah hahaha I am totally with you on that answer!

julybaby28 - 9.5 hours ago
Deanna- I don't think it could hurt the baby. The only thing I can think of is that it would have caffeine. . . but that's it.

AmyandSteve - 10.3 hours ago
Hi all..I'm 15 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I've been experiencing some symptoms that I experienced with my other children at 8 or 9 months. I feel alot of pressure and soarness in my vagina. If I sit to long it's extremely painful to get up. Can anyone relate?

DeannaNicole - 10.6 hours ago
Question for everyone...I read that if I put a teabag in my mouth like in the side of my cheek and let it sit for a few hours it will draw out the infection in my mouth. I don't drink tea so i don't know much about it...it can't hurt the baby right??

portr8girl - 10.8 hours ago
I have been feeling the baby move for about three weeks. When the baby rotates it feels very strange. It did it during my last ultrasound when we were trying to get to move to measure the back of the neck. I felt it flip the person who did the ultrasound didn't believe me til she looked and then the baby was turned. Then it did it again while we were looking.

jmk974 - 11.4 hours ago
This is my second time around... and sometimes the flutter/wave/bumping will last a moment... sometimes several minutes.

chellebob - 11.8 hours ago
This is my second and no movement yet. With my first I remember feeling fluters for a while but at 20 weeks I could feel it actually wriggling and kicking at night time. I spent about a full week awake on holiday just enjoying feeling it wriggle. It's by far the best bit of being pregnant (apart from guilt free eating). The bump is great too when it gets really noticeable because random strangers start being really nice to you and hold door open etc.

cyn99 - 12.4 hours ago
Im a 1st timer and no movement yet...I want to start feeling my lil one move already...ugh!!! Im so impatient..

pregolikerego - 13 hours ago
I just want to give myself kudos for the amount of patience I have had throughout this entire pregnancy thus far! I am normally an extremely impatient person but I have been holding my own this time around. I am patiently waiting for my next ultrasound, and for me to feel the baby move, and to finally have the baby and find out the sex! aghhh! I can keep it up!!!

megisdueAug2 - 13.3 hours ago
hey tattooedmomma how long does the feeling last when the baby is moving? I am a first timer and have been feeling the flutters for a couple days now but sometimes they can last a long while.

brittany-and-troys-1st - 13.4 hours ago
julybaby- Im a first timer and feel no movement yet! I want to so bad! It will come soon for us though, just a couple more weeks and we will be feeling those flutters too!! This whole pregnancy is still so surreal to me... Im dying to feel the movements! And soon after that the full out kicks!! excitedfor1st- I would call the doctor if I was you, just to be safe. A doctor will give you the best advice. And if you cant get in too see your doctor right away than just go to a clinic, they will have the right information for you also! I hope you feel better!

excitedfor1st - 13.8 hours ago
OK I am on day 1 in week 15. I am just going to tell you all what is going on with me so hopefully someone can tell me they are going through the same thing. On Sunday I had severe cramps for about 3 hours. They were so bad that I couldnt move. On Monday morning I woke up and vomited. All day on Monday and today I have had cramps and a lower back ache and my lower abdomen is very tender. Anyone have a clue if this is normal or not?

tattooedmomma - 14.2 hours ago
I have been feeling baby move for about a week now...mostly when I am sitting at my desk...or in the morning when I am still lying in bed. This is my fourth though. I think with my first I only started feeling baby around my 17-18th week.

julybaby28 - 14.5 hours ago
Have any first timers felt their baby move yet? I haven't and want to so bad !

3rdbabythisaugust - 15.3 hours ago
Hey everyone! With all us Canadian Ladies having babies its going to be another baby boom! lol. I live in Ajax just east of Toronto. I was so excited yesterday night! It was the first time I can for sure say i felt the baby moving! It makes being pregnant so much more real for me:) Anyways hope everyone else is doing well today.

julz - 15.9 hours ago
Okay I have a quick question, I am getting worried, yesterday at the doc's my BP was 138/89, last night I got a massive headache. This morning I still have a headache, went to the nurse at work and had my BP checked again and it's not getting any better 144/88. It is way to early for my BP to be this high...has anyone had this, should I call the doc? I was just there yesterday, but I am getting nervous!

DeannaNicole - 16.1 hours ago
Woke up this morning and the infection is back in my mouth! You have got to be kidding me...The antibiotic worked for about 5 days....and it is back worse then before...i am back to no doctor because i was in the process of transferring from health department to dr...nobody wants to see me. This is horrible! Why can't my body fight this infection? I look like I have a baseball coming out of my jaw... :(

julz - 16.4 hours ago
I have had a sweet tooth this time around too. With my last I craved spicy things.

bababy - 17.1 hours ago
I am a vegetarian too. My Dr. said it's no big deal since I still eat eggs, beans, peanut butter etc. I have been eating lots of fruit and have had a major sweet tooth!

A newbie to week 15 and another Canadian! I am right in Hamilton,so close to you CdnBabyLuv. I am going to guess that you are either in Binbrook, Caledonia, Mount Hope or maybe even Dunnville? It is nice to have so many Canadians!!! LOL! Today I put on my pants for work and last week I was down to one button and this week I am down to none! Thank god I just bought the belly band! I can hear the maternity pants already calling my name!

CdnBabyLuv - 18.4 hours ago
Another Cdn Here too!!! (as if you couldn't tell from the name!! ha ha)....anyway, I am about 1/2 hour south of the Hamilton area, so about 1.5 hours south of Toronto. ''mellymomma'' -- there are TONS of places to visit in Canada! It is so beautiful here. We have a cottage 2 hours North of Toronto, and love spending weekends up there! Plus we moved out of the city (Hamilton) to be in the country....less traffic, less crime, less craziness, but I sometimes miss the ease and conveinences of the city....but only sometimes! ha ha!

pamela316 - 18.6 hours ago
16 weeks today...but I cant leave this forum yet, I'm enjoying the chat and all my fellow Canadians lol. I feel like a fat bastard today :) Im suppose to go swimming, my best friend promised to come so I can take my 14 month old son but have a feeling shes gona bail *was probably drunk and stoned last night* I need more friends with kids! :D My best guy friend and his wife had a baby yesterday, they didnt find out the sex till she was born. She went into Labor at midnight and the baby was born at 5am...5 hours in labor? Man I was in for 27 b4 I had a csection lol..jealous much.

julz - 18.6 hours ago
hello 15 weekers!! I am hoping for some extra energy...well I guess I'm waiting for any energy, I take my prenatals and extra iron and I'm still tired all the time.

blueeyes8425 - 19.3 hours ago
i actually just got something yesterday on cord blood/stem cell's . i was thinking bout doing it, this company offer's a 500.00 grant which is good but the first year is still 1,500.00 but after that they said each year was only 125.00 and it sounds amazing and if your child gets a serious disease the blood could save him/her or help with even something that happens to biological parents ,sibling's and grandparent's.
