Born & Birth stories



By week 32, your baby weighs nearly 4 pounds! The crown-to-rump length of your baby is approximately 11.7 inches and the total length is about 18.9 inches. Your uterus is now 5 inches above your bellybutton. Some doctors do not see their patients every other week until now. So, if you were going to the doctor monthly, you may begin going once every other week now.


Sleeping boy. the baby sleeps 90-95% of the day, and sometimes experiences REM sleep, an indication of dreaming.

Now that your baby has grown so long and your uterus is higher, you might notice a new discomfort. Your baby is probably head-down and may occasionally stretch out and kick you in the ribs. The pressure on your rib cage can make you sore, especially if one of your baby's feet becomes caught. You can prevent this by sitting up straight as much as possible. Because your baby's demands for vitamins and minerals are higher than ever right now, you should continue to take your parental vitamins for the entire pregnancy.

This week your baby's movements will peak. You should continue to monitor the fetal movements daily and address any concerns with your caregiver. The wrinkles in your baby's face are disappearing and fat is still being deposited throughout the baby's body.

The body growth slows down from now on.

Because of the lack of space in the uterus, the legs are drawn up in what is known as the fetal position.

As a preparation for breastfeeding, your baby has learned to root for the breast. The baby will turn its head if touched on the cheek and open its mouth if the bottom lip is tickled. By this time the baby can also suck and swallow in a coordinated way.

cheybaby: Hope things calm down for you and your little one. Glad you are back home.

cheybaby - 22.6 hours ago
back from the hospital again... regular and long contractions so bad I dropped the f word and got fussed at by the nurse, but only fingertip dialation. 3 shots of breathine, 2 ivs and one blown vein. Sent home with nifedipine - which I wonder in my case if it could be dangerous since my blood pressure runs low anyway and it's known to rapidly drop it in hypertensive people. Today the contractions stayed 10 minutes apart but short and 'painless' - I'll be going for my haircut shortly before I go insane.

jenjuka - 22.9 hours ago
I just started to see my OB every 2 weeks...that will probably change after the u/s next Wednesday.

littlesean - 1 days ago
I think my Dr. does every week at 36 weeks. Maybe 34 but, im sure its 36. He does dilation check at 36 weeks too. I never dilated with my son, at least not until I was induced and with my daughter I was dilated at 32 weeks so who knows. :)

Happy Friday everyone!

kbsock - 1 days ago
Hi all! Hope everyone has a good independence day :) All those booms might scare the babes, lol. Anyways, I went to my doc on tue and he is wanting me to start coming once a week from now on. He is also going to start doing a stress test on the little one. I am 35 and I think it has to do with my age. Is anyone else getting this?

our3boys - 1 days ago
hi ladies. just an update. i had an appointment yesterday and doc checked me and i'm still fingertip and long, so thats good. doc gave me the pill form of brethaline to stop contractions at home first before coming to the hospital again. BUT- i had an ultrasound last night and my 'little one' is measuring 5lbs 9ozs. WHAT?!? measuring 36 1/2 weeks. i know my dates arent off and i had an early ultrasound to confirm dating, and i only gained 19 pounds as of yesterday. what gives???

Maizy - 1 days ago

ebaker - That is amazing news!

pregoandlovingit - 2 days ago
yay 8 months today cant wait till my daughter is out of me and in my arms

ebaker - 2 days ago
Mumzie I get terrible leg cramps, but last night was a better night for me. I was fine all day and then around 4:30pm I was in pain. Then are so tense...a massage doesn't even help :(

mumzie1212 - 2 days ago
ebaker, have you been getting leg cramps at night? mine feel that way too when i had a bad night with them. i think its because the muscles contract sooo much when you get them. i cant do the bananas so i am going to try potassium tablets. i was told they help.

ebaker - 2 days ago
Omg all of a sudden my calves hurt soooo bad, like if I worked out, but I haven't. What is wrong with me?!

k-lea - 2 days ago
Does it seem strange that my Dr is telling me if my u/s shows my lil man is still big that she'll induce me 2-3 weeks early? I'm going monday to find out his size again. I would think him being a bigger baby would be better than if he wasn't thriving. I don't know it's confusing to me.

mom2be01 - 2 days ago
ebaker and busymommy: what wonderful news for both of you! :)

busymommy - 2 days ago
wow. today has been so great for everyone. I just found out that our health care provider has a grant program that we qualify for. It would cover all hospital expenses incurred for pregnancy/birth. I am filling out the application it takes 30 days for approval. fingers crossed. YESSSSSS. ebaker: God is good. Congratulations more time with your baby!

ebaker - 2 days ago
secondchance: Awesome news. Gods works wonders doesn't he. I asked my boss if I could cut down to 4 days after my leave, and he said he didn't think it would be a problem. I told him I was having a hard time coping with the reality of daycare. He came in my office later that day and said I may be able to work from home a few days. SWEET! So I'm hoping we only have to put our baby in daycare for 2 or 3 days, which is okay so she can get aquainted with others. Thank God for good news!

erikatx - 2 days ago
Lol! I don’t know either,… but I’ll give them a try! I hope they are enough!

secondchance - 2 days ago

secondchance - 2 days ago
But...I'm having Restless Crotch Syndrome right now! I'm so tired of sitting in this chair, it's so uncomfortable down there....

secondchance - 2 days ago
Woohoo! this holiday weekend is starting out great!

secondchance - 2 days ago
You know what else is pretty awesome...someone just walked in here and gave me a $100 giftcard to Babies R Us! I've worked with her for 2.5 years now, but I really only see/talk to her for about 10 minutes every friday when she comes to turn in her stuff! Wow!

busymommy - 2 days ago
erikatx: fingers crossed for you. I hate to hear how everyone has to go back to work so soon. I know I am very fortunate to be in a position to be home BUT we live pretty strapped to make that happen.

secondchance - 2 days ago
Thanks all! I am really excited about it and kinda in disbelief. I mean it is perfect! Exactly the job, pay, workdays/times, everything that we've been praying for!

erikatx - 2 days ago
Ahh… good for you too busymommy! Ok, I am kinda of jealous! My husband’s hrs need to pick up soon! That way I can take the entire 12 weeks for maternity leave… well I am going to sit here and cross my fingers for the next 7 weeks!

mariarosa - 2 days ago
good night everyone and have a great weekend!

busymommy - 2 days ago
secondchance: that is rad. I just found out my husbands work is FINALLY going to re-adjust some commission incentives which have been at 0 for almost 2 years now. What a relief.

Audrey* - 2 days ago
secondchance- wonderful news!! I can only imagine how elated you both are. What a great way to start a long, holiday weekend!

mariarosa - 2 days ago
Congrats Secondchance to you and your hubby!!

mumzie1212 - 2 days ago

erikatx - 2 days ago

mamasenator - 2 days ago

erikatx - 2 days ago
secondchance - THAT is awesome!! I am glad things worked out for you guys!

mumzie1212 - 2 days ago
has anyone not gotten their Sh*t together yet, i mean besides having everything physically in my house for this baby, i have not done anything. well, i started 'collecting' the things on my list for my hospital bag but that is about as far as i have gotten with it. i am hoping to get more done next week since my son is going on vacation w/ his dad but i still have to pack for our own vacation and thats on the 11th. i have sooo much to do for vacation and the baby. i keep having this feeling that i'm going to go into labor really early and having nothing prepared. no reason, just a gut feeling.

mariarosa - 2 days ago
my son made me laugh last night...he's finally beginning to understand that if he doesn't do what mommy says, and she begins to count to 3, it means 'time out'. So he grabbed a pillow from the bedroom and brought it into the kitchen, I said 'bring it back to the room', he looked at me started walking and then stopped. Like he was thinking what if I don't, what will happen? I said it again and he begin walking towards the room but then decided to throw the pillow under the dining room table. I said 'OK, oooooooooooone, twooooooooooooooooo, annnnnnnnnnnd Threeeeee' and started walking towards him. He grabbed that pillow and ran to the room and put it back on the bed. Just seeing this 18month old running away from me with this huge pillow made me crack up!!! I know, you had to be there but at least I know he's starting to understand 'time outs' and what he should and shouldn't be doing.

secondchance - 2 days ago
Just got some awesome news!!! My husband filled out an application and immediately had an interview yesterday. They said they would know on this friday or next monday who they would hire. They called today, and offered him the job at the pay he wanted. They have flexible hours and will work with his school schedule! It is sooo perfect for our situation, and fits all of the criteria we were dreaming about for a job! It's really awesome, and it makes me not coming back to work after maternity leave just that much better!

swann - 2 days ago
alright ladies well i went in for my ultrasound today and the baby is measuring at 34w 4d and weighs 5.4 lbs. this is one big baby!!! i hope you all have a safe 4th of july weekend. i will be out getting my tan on out at the lake for 4 days and i just hope this heat doesn't make me go into labor!

mumzie1212 - 2 days ago
thganks jeri, i know some women have particular issues that would make them more prone to premature labor. i was just curious if someone was ever told because of their size. i hope your baby stays in as long as possible:)

mariarosa - 2 days ago
mumzie: I'm having twins and it's not usual for twin pregnancies to go beyond 38weeks. So at 38 I will be induced if I haven't given birth by then.

erikatx - 2 days ago
secondchance... but sometimes I dont get it! Like do people actually get more idiotic??

mumzie1212 - 2 days ago
