10+3 today

agea

My H says he doesn’t notice but I see it!

deziraywatt

I was lying to myself thinking I wasn't showing yet.  I didn't even realize until I took that picture. 

emeraldduchess

@deziraywatt I think I am starting to pop out but I am firmly in denial. 😁

12w today! I almost didn't take this photo this morning because "my belly didn't look very big" but then I did anyway, and looked at the photo and um, hello, it's definitely there! (Also I didn't make my bed, sorry not sorry)

krash_

11+5 but it's all just left over from DS. I'm tall though and I barely looked pregnant for for my entire pregnancy last time. 

mybigfatgreekfetus

@krash_ I’m super tall (5ft 11) so I tell people I “hide” my babies for a while! I do feel like I’m a little lucky though because baby has more room to grow without me feeling crushed (at least until the very end)

nasalot188

@krash_ @mybigfatgreekfetus I'm fairly tall as well 5'9, I've been told I 'hide it well' but with #3 I think that no longer applies LOL Also apparently i have a tilted uterus that tilts back, anyone else been told that? So I assume that would help hide a bit too..

krash_

@nasalot188 yes I'm 5'9" as well and at my last u/s she said my uterus is tilted back.

cassafrass123

@nasalot188 my uterus tilts back too, but I have shown ridiculously with both previous pregnancies...this one actually a little less I think... I always forget about it, but the NT ultrasound technician was very vocal about the tilt

agea

Yep tall here too. Even at 8/9 months pregnant people thought I was in first trimester.... I’m like, yeah I’m due in a few weeks. And no one ever gives me a seat on the train, not pregnant enough I guess.
im usually able to hide it for a long time in terms of looks but not in terms of how shitty I feel and react to that.

runningonindie

Jealous of all you tall ladies!!!! I’m 5 feet even and I feel crushed by 20 weeks. 

CanadianGamerMom

Took this on Tuesday at 11w 😊 (this is #4)

@runningonindie I'm also short - 5'3" - and have a very short torso. The midwives always comment on it, and I'm also feeling crushed by about 23/24 weeks every time.

runningonindie

@CanadianGamerMom I feel your pain! Since I blog, during my last pregnancy I had to cram all my maternity style stuff into my 2nd trimester because once I hit 30ish weeks it just totally stopped being cute 😂😂😂

agea

Although I missed having a big cute bump for most of the pregnancy I definitely think the extra torso room makes a difference in comfort so I’m grateful.
however statistically tall people are more likely to gestate longer and I definitely fall into that camp. No babies arriving early for me. Always +40w and counting.

sleepydaze

@runningonindie I hear you! I'm only 5'1". Sitting down becomes a game of "where can I sit where I can breathe at the same time" midway through my pregnancies.

I wore maternity pants and a clingy shirt around DH today and he told me I had a cute bump! He never says stuff like that so I'm feeling a little more confident that it's not all bloat.

whatabout2ndbreakfast

@agea I didn’t know that! Interesting. I’m 5’10” and both boys came one day early. 

agea

@whatabout2ndbreakfast it’s not a rule and of small statistical significance but I blame my late kids on it.

krash_

@agea That's an interesting fun fact! It did not apply to me but that's because I was induced at 37 wks from complications. Maybe I can test the theory this time around. 

nasalot188

I love seeing all the bumps ladies Really starting to make this feel real and sink in!!

mybigfatgreekfetus

My first was 10 days late and my second was 10 days early! They both were about the same size at birth - my early baby was a couple ounces bigger. I guess she just cooked faster!

muggsd

I’m 5’9” and both my girls came at 41 weeks. Good enough explanation for me! Lol

Centralmnmom

emjeve

@agea I feel you on the long gestation! My babes like to bake! I’m very short (5’1’’), but my girls came at 40+3, 39+5, and 40+4... womb mates for life!

deziraywatt

My son came at 41+4. He was born 6 hours before I was scheduled to be induced. 

runningonindie

@deziraywatt phewwwwww I am exhausted just thinking about that - how much did he weigh? my daughter came at 39+2 and i was so beyond done i can’t even imagine haha

deziraywatt

He was 7 lbs 14oz.  The period from like 37 weeks to delivery was brutal.  I would get like 10 messages a day from people asking if he was here yet.  And when I told them no, they would complain about how long it was taking.  

runningonindie

@deziraywatt as though you had any control LOL 

CanadianGamerMom

@deziraywatt My 1st was 40+2 (went into labour on her due date though), my 3rd was born on his original due date, but my 2nd was born at 41+3. Bruuuuuutal. The messages/comments drove me nuts. Trust us people, no one wants this babe out more than we do 😂

Centralmnmom

My first was born at 39+3 and I was DONE.  I remember thinking the night before (water broke at 3am next morning) that I was going to have to be Induced Induced I was 41+ weeks because she wasn't coming out.  
Also my boss at the time would ask me when I was going on maternity leave...like umm...whenever this baby chooses to vacate.  You let me know if she tells you lol.

cassafrass123

Both of my girls were born at 39+6. I’m sure they won’t let me go that long this time since the c-section will be scheduled far in advance (not emergent like the first or scheduled last minute like the second). I’m a little irrationally bummed about it.

chewie5990

both my boys were born at 41+1 which is how long my OB allowed before inducing. DS1 was 7.1 and DS2 was 7 pounds even. I'm nervous about how small baby #3 will be since I will be having a scheduled c section at 39 weeks - a full 2 weeks earlier than I've previously delivered.
