Lovely bump!! I'd say you're still low BUT!!! you are still only 17 weeks. Your uterus isn't all the way expanded up yet either. Honestly, the bump old wive's tale is when you are a bit further along I think.... I don't feel like mine is very low but I feel him moving mostly low. I know a girl a work that is also pregnant with her second and she is 7 weeks ahead of me. But she is carrying her way high. I'm a big girl and I feel like it's my stomach that is pushing out up top and not Coltyn. But when I took a bath last night I saw my uterus was 3-4 inches above my belly button! (Either that or it was Coltyn's head/body!!) The girl at work looks like her stomach up top is really really round and that's where she is carrying her daughter. She was much larger than me though at 23 weeks. She just hit 30 weeks and it looked like she was starting to drop. Not sure if any of that made sense. LOL! Sorry if it didn't!
that's a good point though about the theory- at my last appointment my uterus was already just below my belly button but again I have a super short torso (I blame the Mexican side of my family!).
I love your ideas for organizing a space for your little one. Has your MS gone away now and do you have more energy? It's gotten better for me, but I still feel sick in the evening or the middle of the night at times. I keep thinking it's gone, and then the next day it's back and I haven't notice a big change in my energy yet.
I love the bump pictures! My bump still doesn't show up too good in pictures, but I can totally notice it myself. When did you ladies start using a belly band? I don't have one yet, but I think I should get one in case I need it soon.
My ankle is starting to feel better and only have a few days left of wearing the boot! Yay! Once it feels better, I know I'm going to be antsy to start exercising again, but I'm going to try really hard not to rush into it.
Bmama, how cool that your parents live in the dells! We stayed at Mt Olympus. My nephew is almost 2 and he had a blast
Then I moved onto dresses for work, and just invested in a cheap pair of maternity pants from old navy that rock!
Now I just combat feeling hungry all the time, and being uncomfortable when I sleep. Glad your ankle is feeling better too!
However, I have to wear dress pants for work, so I thought the belly band might work better. I've also felt more hungry lately when the nausea is not around. I think we are both at the stage where our babies are really starting to grow, so it makes sense.
ill post my bump latter.. I'm getn big
, but my midwife said it was probably needed and not to worry. A lot of times the weight gain evens out and if you gain a lot at one point you may not the next. I just want to stay under a 40 pound weight gain! I'm scared about gaining weight in general but I just remind myself that its not for me its for baby I weight lifted a lot before becoming pregnant so have a lot of muscle weight, started around 170 and I'm 5'9, but I am soooo scared that ill end up over 200 lbs. I am already ready to shed the baby weight after bubs is born with lots of walking at first and light weight training, then running and swimming! how's everyone else doin?
