Anyone else lose track of how many weeks pregnant you are?

JJBoden

Poor baby #3. Seems I'm so busy with my other two I forget how far along I am! People ask and I kinda just guess. I'll just start saying 1/2 way there!

missab

Nope. I am aware of how many weeks I am at all times. FTM, though. I suspect if this was my third rodeo and I was simultaneously caring for two children, I would lose track, too. "Half way" sounds like a perfect response!

If I wasn't on the bump mobile nearly everyday I'm sure I wouldn't know. But when I open it on my phone the fruit is kinda in my face. Lol

This made me chuckle bc I am obsessively the complete exact opposite but this is my first. I know down to the week and day and would probably know the minute if I could manage to figure it out (joking but not joking) but I could totally imagine me being like whatevs when it's the 2nd or 3rd

JJBoden

Yeah I knew with the first two. I could tell you each fruit with #1. #2 was pretty exciting too because it was 6 years later. #3, I just try to take my prenatals and know he's coming in April! Ha

@steph0611‌ I'm a FTM and haven't taken a single one and kept. I took one for my cousin because she doesn't see me in person and only because she asked. They weird me out when I take my own. I don't know maybe I'm weird. Lol

I do find myself forgetting from time to time. I usually think I'm farther along than I am and then when I check, I'm disappointed to see I was wrong.

I keep a chalkboard with my week on it but I've been a little behind so I find myself saying, "is it 20 or 21?"

I have a pretty good idea most of the time, but not like with DS...I knew the week and day every day!

If it wern't for the weekly emails from the bump I would have no idea! I have to check a few times a week to remind myself. But in general when people ask I try to answer in months because if they haven't had kids they never seem to understand the weeks thing. I get " and how many months is that?"

I'm not a FTM and I always remember. But I'm looking at two different apps and then I have a pregnancy book I read each week. I don't remember down to the day though.

jamiesc58

I don't usually forget because my ticker change is on Tuesday and those are my half days at work. I also have my dr. appointments every 4 weeks like clock work on Tuesdays.

I keep track of weeks because I like knowing how close I am to each "milestone" (second tri, halfway, viability, third tri...)

This is my 3rd, but I know exactly how far along I am. It's been a long journey for our 3rd sticky baby, so I'm counting down the weeks till we get to hold our little guy.

Suesse2009

I know how many days left until my due date. With being so sick I am definitely counting down the days.

This is my second and every Monday I take a belly shot and read about the weekly changes to the baby, so I know I'm 18 weeks and 5 days today.

pnutg

I have an app on my phone so every Monday I get my weekly update. Otherwise I would not know. With my first baby I definitely knew down to the day and took a bump pic every week starting at 12. I've taken 2 so far this preg just so I can compare.

I have to kind of think hard about it. With #1 I kept track if weeks and days. Now I'm just like, eh, I'm somewhere around "x" months. I have taken a total of ONE bump picture as opposed to about 3 per week from the time I got a positive test with DS.

HZ2012

Yep, #2. With ds1 I knew to the minute

mhickey426

I loose count too. It happens it's hard to keep track especially when I can't keep track of what day it is.

I dont either. We can be clueless together!

rsweethart

This is my third and I can't remember either! 

OneLastRefrain

FTM and I am well aware at all times!

Nor do I. Guess I'm not cool enough. Guessing "Arrrggg" is what a pirate says and I'm just plain annoying?

The pirate as nothing to do with being cool enough, so take off your sensitive pants. I started using it when the new version of the bump came out and the pirate got no love. It's used when I think what a poster is saying is a bit silly or a bit much. Or when I have no words for a reply but feel like the pirate makes a good statement. It's meant to be funny.

As an infertile/loss mom I found the idea of being so busy with your kids a bit much since it's something that is out of the realm of possibility for me.

Thanks for explaining that. Sorry to hear what you've been through and that the thread struck a chord.

Sorry you're had such a rough go. April is going to be a long awaited and wonderful month for you! And truthfully I am extremely busy with two kids alone 24/7. ( daddy has to live in another state right now) I'm also sick with some yuck virus right now and hormonal. Just dead tired. I literally never get a break. I have no family here. I think anything right now could make me sensitive sadly. I'm just trying to keep my head above water and keep my kids fed and alive. So yes, I lose track of how far along I am.

I saw a woman from my gym yesterday who is pregnant with her third. When I asked her how far along she is she replied "Oh... um.... 18 weeks. I think" I get it, she's looking after 2 other kids so how far along she is probably isn't on her mind all the time. I however have never lost track of how far along I am because I'm on my first and have the time to keep track. Plus TB tells me every time I open the app.
