Born & Birth stories





Your baby's crown-to-rump length is approximately 10 inches and the total length of your growing baby is around 15.75 inches. Your baby weighs about 2.4 pounds at this point. Your uterus is a little more than 3 inches above your bellybutton. Your weight gain at this time should be between 17 and 24 pounds.


Blood vessel in the umbilical cord. For several months, the umbilical cord has been the baby's lifeline to the mother. Nourishment is transferred from the mother's blood, through the placenta, and into the umbilical cord to the baby. If the mother ingests any toxic substances, such as drugs or alcohol, the baby receives these as well!

You will probably begin visiting your caregiver once every two weeks. Week 28 is an important week for testing. You will probably be having your glucose tolerance test, an iron level test and if you are Rh negative, you should have an antibody test. The antibody test will determine if you and your baby will have any reactions to each other's blood differences. The glucose test will check for gestational diabetes.

Your baby's brain continues to develop and is now forming the folds and grooves of a fully developed brain. The amount of tissues within the brain also continues to increase in large amounts. The hair that covers your baby's scalp is also getting longer. Your baby is now large enough for presentation to be determined and your doctor might be able to find out if your baby is at risk for being breech. If your baby is breech, don't panic. There is still time for the baby to rotate.

Marinewifeandmom- I was told Im anemic and have been very tired all the time but since I started taking my iron regularly I have gotten my energy back. I feel good now!! So it should help u.

babynguyen2 - 1.7 hours ago
Ladies I finally did it! I got DH to paint Jr's nursery! I just don't really have anything to put into it yet. Money is so tight right now and we just barely got the money for paint. Waiting to see what my baby shower will bring in. I can't wait til my son gets here!

marinewifeandmom08 - 2.6 hours ago
piglet- it seems like i am always tired. course when i got my glucose results back they were saying im slightly anemic and should start taking an iron supplement so im hoping when i start taking them i will hopefully get a little more energy.

2ndtimemommmy - 3.4 hours ago
4 hours till I get my 3D u/s!

chute - 3.5 hours ago
moved over a lil early, couldnt hold back! piglet~im with you on the exhaustion. i dont ever feel like im getting nearly enough sleep. im hopeing its just due to me not drinking any caffiene in a week :)

tinkerbell319 - 4 hours ago
Awww I wish I knew how much my baby weighs. I'm not gonna get another ultrasound. Is there a way for ur dr to tell how much the baby weighs by palpatation?

overtherainbow - 4.2 hours ago
Ha ha, that sounds like something I would tell my mom, simply to avoid a lecture. Sorry it backfired on you. I know it's frustrating when you are excited about something and you want others to be just as excited. that stinks.

ashleefern - 4.2 hours ago
My little boy is measuring big too. He is 2.13 lbs. They think I may be in my 30th week.

2ndtimemommmy - 5.4 hours ago
I'm so frustrated! I'm going in for a 3D/4D u/s today, and told my mom, thinking she'd be happy for us. (I told her a little white lie and said my in-laws were paying for it as an early Christmas present, because every time I spend any money on anything not essential, my mom flips out.) But no, instead of possibly being happy or excited for us, all she can do is bitch about how they should have gotten us something we need, instead of something frivolous. I'm so tired of being lectured, can't she ever just be happy for us!?

lisa337 - 7.5 hours ago
anyone else's baby weighing quite a little too much lol the doc doesnt see it as being a problem but now im flippin about delivering a 9 pounder! This site says the baby should weigh 2.4... Mine weighs 2.10!

piglet2686 - 8.2 hours ago
is anyone stupid tired all the time??? lately i wat to sleep so much! its making me crazy!!! i hate sleeping all day!!

irishgirl44 - 8.5 hours ago
if i lie down the bh tend to stop but otr i hear ya they can get alittle painful and i am thinking oh my gosh whats it going to be like when the real thing starts! eeekk. my boobs havent started leaking they are very warm though!

nicki90 - 11.4 hours ago
2ndtime: it definetly sounds like u r pregnant lol. Irish: my BH get way worse at night also- and it sounds weird but they r the worst when i lay down- sometimes i have to take a warm shower to get them to stop. i told my dr this and shes not worried yet, so hopefully everything is still ok :OTR:i ALWAYS want donuts now!!! lol - anybody eles boobs feel like a sprinkler system yet??? i swear i wake up in the middle of the night with giant puddles - it sux!!!!!

overtherainbow - 13.3 hours ago
I'm awake....it's 6am, and all I can think about are donuts. Ugh, I wish I could hop in my car and go get some donuts and a hot chocolate. Someone please bring me some.....aaaaaaah! :)

overtherainbow - 13.3 hours ago
IG44: How often do they come in an hour?? You may want to let your doc know that they are getting worse. Just to be on the safe side. I used to get them several times a day, not painful just a little crampy. Since I've been in the hospital though, they put me on meds to stop them. I'm off the meds now, and when I do get a contraction....whoa, I can only imagine what the real deal is going to feel like.

irishgirl44 - 15.4 hours ago
my morning sickness is back and i hate it.. just in the mornings not as bad and iam not throwing up i just need to lie down and it passes. BH get worse at night and they are starting to hurt is anyone else BH getting worse?

piglet2686 - 17.6 hours ago

hello week 28!

treena333 - 20.8 hours ago
i had a ultrasound yesterday. got to see her little face clear as. they pointed out how fat her cheeks are... haha i have the biggest urge to just want to cuddle her.. cant wait for the next 12 weeks hope they fly by because im so ready to welcome her to the world.

tinkerbell319 - 20.9 hours ago
2ndtimemommy- Dont worry bout the bitching. Im sure most of us feel the same way. I been trying try to get comfortable for the last hour. It seems like her favorite spot to rest her feet is in my ribs. It hurts really bad. And my back hurts, feet and hands swelling. Starting to get stretch marks, having hot flashes the list goes on and on. I want her out already!!! I cant wait til February so i can hold her in my arms not in my belly. lol!!

2ndtimemommmy - 21 hours ago
Seuben - YES! My morning sickness is back, and so bad. I'm not puking too much, but I feel sick all day, every day. And dizzy. I see the doc on Tuesday, and going to ask if there's anything they can do. I refused medication for it way back before, but it's so much worse now, even though I'm not puking as much, because I just feel terrible. Not sure though, if what I need is medication, or just time off. I feel alot better when I'm not working... Also, heartburn through the roof, tums only takes care of it for half an hour or so before it's back, my back is killing me, my feet hurt, my legs and feet are swelling, I can't breathe, and can't even sit down comfortably. When I sit up it feels like the baby is up in my ribs, and when I lean back it kills my tailbone, due to a fall I had a few months ago! I'm sooooo ready to be full term already! And just in the last week, I've had what seems like every person I see tell me I 'must be due any day now', and when I say, no, not till February, they get this incredulous looks on their faces... Sorry for all the b*tching!

tinkerbell319 - 21.4 hours ago
Jjaszorr7- i woulnt be worried there r a lot of false positives. And if u do have GD then u just need to eat right and exercise. It will be okay. Oh and welcome to IAP!!!

kelleyann70 - 21.5 hours ago
last day in week 28. i'm starting freak out about time moving faster than i want. someone asked me if i was done being pregnant today. the quick response was no, she can stay right where she is because i am not ready.

jjaszorr7 - 21.7 hours ago
Hello I am new to this website. I have a question regarding the glucose test. My first test came out abnormal and tomorrow I have to go for the second one. Should I be worried ?

hotmama88 - 23.1 hours ago
Nikki90- We're on the same boat! I don't think that sounds bad at all but as I said I am unsure why but some people actually make me seem like I'm being selfish when I say that I want to get my sexy back lol. I think once our main priorities are our little ones then everything else is ok. I'm 21 and this is my 2nd and most likely my last or at least for a while so I want to look like I did after my first child NO one knew I was a mommy, I had a flatter stomach than most girls most women my age that didn't have any kids, that's why my boyfriend calls me mama milf lmao!

alottamocha - 23.4 hours ago
I had my 3 hour glucose test today, and I failed. They tested my fasting levels and it was 92..which was good. After drinking the orange 'goodness' my first hour test I had to be below 190 and I was 184. After the 2nd hour it had to be below 165 and it was 191. The last hour it had to be below 135, I think and I registered at 185. They pricked my finger for each test and put it in a little machine (about the size of a Nintendo ds) and after about a minute in a half the results popped up. I don;t understand why the dr's are giving it a couple of days for your results to return. I guess it may be the size of the office. Any who Monday I have to meet with the nutritionist and go over my dietary regimen. I was worried and the dr said that I should be fine as long as I stick to the diet and exercise. She said that it just means that I get more ultrasounds to check the baby which in my eyes is a plus! I try to find the positive in things!

nicki90 - 1 days ago
same here, im 19 and this is my 2nd so when he comes out i want to get prepreggo body asap- that may sound bad but i have REALLY low self esteem and can always find something wrong with my body- growing up i was always a tom-boy and so i dressed and looked like a boy and people always made fun of me- so now im like, im older obviously NOT a boy ;) and i want to look good!!!

hotmama88 - 1 days ago
Tinkerbell- Yes, I got a few stretch marks with my 1st but most of them got super small almost invisable by the time i my daughter was 2mos old and the rest slowly vanished because they were all gone come summer time! Irishgirl- See....idk what to think about celebrities, to me they aren't 'real people'. They have all the money to be able to hire personal trainers and get work done on them. As ORT mentioned they have money to pay for personal trainers that will come to their house and maids and nannies to watch their kids while they work out and chefs and dietitians to make and plan their meals out for them we don't! So its so much different. I do believe that I'll go back to normal though because as you said I need to be able to keep my self esteem intack. I am in my early 20's not my early 80's so I need to still be an attractive hot woman!

overtherainbow - 1 days ago
Apparently all of my visitors are gone for today...because I am a posting maniac! haha. Guess I should figure out what I want DELIVERED to my room for dinner. ;) haha.

overtherainbow - 1 days ago
I thought my M/S was returning a few weeks ago, but it was just a few random mornings...I literally would wake up, throw up, eat, and be fine the rest of the day. Maybe about three days. Then it went away. I have heard of ladies that have it return though.

overtherainbow - 1 days ago
My doctors and nurses were so excited for me today...they said that 28 weeks is a HUGE milestone. If baby were to come now, her chances of survival moved from 50% to 80%...Yay!!! SO...My mom, dad, and DH surprised me with a little party in m y room. My mom made all of my favorite foods, and we chowed down. She even brought noise makers. My brother sent me a bog package of stuff....totally made my day. :)

overtherainbow - 1 days ago
I have been reading magazines like crazy, and Heidi Klum is all over them...she makes me sick. Cute as can be all preggo, and then super hot body afterwards. Guess having lots of money and a personal trainer/chef will do that to you.

overtherainbow - 1 days ago
As for hospital food, it's really not that good, but the fact that I can call 24 hours/day and have it delivered to my BED....hahaha, that's something I could get used to. :)

overtherainbow - 1 days ago
I have a mole in my belly button that I didn't know about until it started to pop out either. Too funny!!

irishgirl44 - 1 days ago
hot mama iam right with you . just because we are soon to be mamas.. or mamas already doesnt mean we dont have to look good. i want to teach my children good self esteem and self worth and by doing that i need to feel self worth adn have my own self esteem in tact. i want to loose the weight i have be healthy and active and not slob out. i hope i dont get that lived in look either. butiam sure with a lot of pilaties moves and hard work we can all get back there.. just look at kate hudson who gained 60 lbs she did it.. and heidi Klum and all those other hot mamas.. we will just motivate each other.. it may not happen as quickly as others.. but it will happen..

tinkerbell319 - 1 days ago
Hotmama- Did u get stretch marks with ur 1st?

hotmama88 - 1 days ago
I'm scared of getting too many stretch marks, I'm also nervous about having that 'lived in look', you know what the belly and tit's looking saggy. I'm pretty sure I'll lose the weight I gained exactly 30lbs last pregnancy and I lost 32lbs by the time my baby girl was 2 months old, but its not just about weight with me I really want to be able to wear a two piece without getting stoned :P whenever I tell people this they seem not to understand me; they say 'oh you should be worrying about your babies health not your post pregnancy body, but just because I want to look human doesn't mean I'm not concerned about my little one's health, obviously I care about my little ones that's why I keep both them and myself healthy. Is it so hard to believe that someone wants to be a good mother and a hot mama??!

robbinsnest - 1 days ago
Well ladies, I am so tired all the time! Just want to nap on the couch all day! But no, I can't do that like I want to, I have too much laundry and dishes to do, and I home school 4 of my kids. My 14 year old is alot of help though. She said today, Mom, what would you do without me here to carry the laundry for you? Hmmm, don't know, maybe one of the boys would do it for me. Try not to take advantage of her though, she's such a sweetie! Hope all is great with you guys!

excited41stbaby - 1 days ago
on another note--- I ran into someone my DH knows the other day... and this is what he says to me, 'Damn, Nick told me you were pregnant but i didn't know you were THAAAAT pregnant.' I just looked at him, rolled my eyes and said thankkkksss..... what a JERK!!

girlkeenah - 1 days ago
same here.. i had the glucose test last tuesday, didn't need to fast but also had a reese cup before the test, didn't know i was getting it. dr sair result would be in in 3 days. haven't heard anything and it's been since the 10th, so i'm assuming all is good.

seuban0 - 1 days ago
Anyone else experiencing the return of morning sickness?? Ugh.

nicki90 - 1 days ago
yea my dr is either supposed to call today (b4 5) or i have to wait till monday

excited41stbaby - 1 days ago
I had my glucose test on wednesday. I thought it was the most disgusting thing EVER!!! Doctor said if i don't hear anything back within a week then I'm good. Haven't heard anything yet.....

nicki90 - 1 days ago
hey girls i got it from my dr today- but not about my weight they didnt tell me at my last appt that i would be having my sugar test done today- so b4 my appt i went to Mcdonalds lol, and my dr was pissed- but i told her nobody told me i would be having that done today(this was back when they were worried about the U/S not showing the babies heart)and i guess they 4got to tell me - still waiting on the results tho

marinewifeandmom08 - 1 days ago
i was in a B cup before my DS and after i had him and dried up i stayed a C cup. And again they are slightly growing just hope they dont grow to much more. yeah i wanted bigger boobs but with bigger comes saggier.

Mandykat760 - 1 days ago
My goal is to get smaller then my pre-pregnancy body. I was too chunky for my liking. I would love to be 115 again and in shape! Being in shape is the big thing. I want to be the perfect house wife haha. Sound dumb but maybe if I was then I wouldn’t have to work!

angelagloria - 1 days ago
I'M GETTING REAL TIRED OF MY BOOBS OMG. THEY ARE A TRIPPLE D RIGHT NOW. I STARTED OFF AT A 38 D. MAN WITH MY SON I GOT UP TO A TRIPLE F WHILE BREAST FEEDING. THESE THINGS KILL THE BACK LOL

marinewifeandmom08 - 1 days ago
YAY!! Week 28.

excited41stbaby - 1 days ago
ohhhh i know!! I was just thinking the other day that Heidi Klum is my role-model. After 4 kids she doesn't even look like she's had one!! I seriously hope i'm half as lucky. BS- It's good that you got things out in the open with your DH. Once the communication stops, its down hill from there. ohh and 2012 is ok... i kinda wish i would have waited to see it on netflix. but that's just my opinion!!

irishgirl44 - 1 days ago
have you seen heidi Klums figure 5 weeks after having her 4th baby? damn i feel sick! she looks great strutting her stuff down the run way for the victoria secrets fashion show.. boo hooo.. i hope ill get there in 5 weeks ! and she says she has about 20lbs to loose stil. Iam already at 24lbs weight gain!
