Lol sandy, my uncles wife took one of those intelligender tests and it said boy, they're due with a girl on Feb 8th

Sarah-I have this maternity belt, but I think I might need something more supportive. It's annoying to wear around the house though bc I'm up and down so much, it's not comfortable when sitting. Even when wearing it my stomach gets hard though.

That's funny about your dream lol Besides an alien face, my babies haven't had faces in my dreams!

Cassidy-Your bump is so cute! At that point my entire belly would get hard from bloating, especially at night. I remember thinking it felt so huge!

Sandy-I threw a gender reveal for my friends. They were convinced it was a boy, hadn't picked out a girl name yet. We did a bunch of old wives tales at the party and it was tied for boy/girl. It ended up being a girl lol

I have been thinking, and I have am wondering if just a prenatal vitamin is enough since I have was full term pregnant 6 months ago. I will definitely be asking about that!

Add folic acid & iron... maybe B6.

i had a dream about my baby last night, but by the time my brain realized it was my baby, it had morphed into my niece, so i still dont "know" what i'm having! ha!
we're going to a friends house for pizza tonight; is it polite to order a whole pizza for one's-self?

LOL Mirolee I had an entire Donato's personal cheese last night.. No shame here!

And Sandy I'd add DHA.. my prenatal didn't have any and I didn't find out til last month It's good for brain/eye development and is supposed to help with increasing birth weight. DHA and folic acid are for sure great baby brain builders.

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks! I will look into those things.

 

[morganwhite7]

I take these and they're great.. compared to my poop-smelling prenatal

i dont know how some of you girls are still breathing..... i just ate lunch and i'm pretty sure it by-passed my belly and went into my air space. i need a recliner.

I'm wondering if Leah decided to engage while I slept last night. I know she can still pop in and out with 7-ish weeks left to go but I feel so much more pain down low - mostly in my left leg where it meets my pelvis/lady parts. My bump looks a little different than the other day as well. I feel part of her a bit above my belly button and then off to one side down by my hip and it feels a lot more firm down low & up front (where she'd be engaged near...) And something is most definitely gently annoying my cervix right now lol.

I wish I could just see in there to check out her positioning whenever I wanted lol. I hate not knowing exactly what's going on in there, even if it doesn't mean anything lol.

Left was Wednesday, right is this morning.

 

[morganwhite7]

I feel like I can't breathe either.. like I need to stick my chest out so that there's more room under my ribs.. short of breath and extra full feeling, too.

Just you wait til things progress

Waves- Oh my she has grown, that bump looks BIG now! I always wonder what the heck is poking out of me.. I know when it's head/bum and I've read the way to tell the difference is if you poke it and it MOVES the whole baby, it's bum. If not, head. The weird elbows and feet have me stumped though. Esp when I feel her ALL across my belly, like kick on the right and her head rebounding off the left... soooo crazy.

 

[frsttimemama]

I used to poke little guy in the feet and bum and he would move and kick me. He was head down like the whole time! It was our little game

Amanda, it looks so much lower and fuller!

 

[HWPG]

you gals know how you were talking about hte shape of you uterus? well if you look in my photo you can see mine is tilted forward at the top.... so even though i was completely laying on my back and even inverted, it wouldnt go flat/the baby wouldnt lay flat enough for the measurement. i also have a theory (in my brain, although it's far too early to be real) that i will carry high and why i cant breathe i will post pics on sunday but you'll see - my whole belly is becoming a hemisphere, it's not cute like cass's and focused in one spot! morgan, you said you have to push your chest out - i feel like i need to use an exercise ball and roll backwards on it so i can allow my stomach to stretch out and my lungs expand.
omg, put me in the corner for whining. shame on me!

 

[frsttimemama]

They told me I had a tilted uterus last time. I didn't think much of it. Maybe thats why I carried so high?

 

[HWPG]

i truly have no idea - i'm just making excuses for myself!

 

[morganwhite7]

I have an anteverted uterus... Mirolee ask the doc if you do, if def makes you pop sooner! Can't wait to see pics

 

[frsttimemama]

I did carry pretty high tge whole time. I'll look for a pic later

 

[wavescrash]

I have a retroverted uterus. Fun facts lol.

 

[RobertRedford]

holy cow Amanda, Someone had a growth spurt! Your bump is so different in just a few days!

I have a retroverted uterus, too. MY OB said that it will sometimes go back to normal after child birth.

 

[wavescrash]

Hahah right? Shes sitting lower again just a few hours later though.
