3rd Trimester

Repost from 2nd tri- l'd like to hear your thoughts on this...

Totally freaks me out!

So my pregnancy book says that my baby weighs about 2 lbs right now & that he will grow about 1/2 lb a week from here on out!  That is insane to me.  He's only grown that much 4 times so far!! 

 It makes sense why you get more tired in 3rd tri, I guess!

  • I almost died the other day when I read that beginning at 32 weeks you gain a pound a week and the baby will DOUBLE its current weight by the time they arrive.

    I just looked down at my stomach and wondered where an additional 3-4 lbs of baby was going to fit.

  • At least it means LO is going to be nice and healthy by the time he arrives. (I won't be feeling that hot, but hey, not really about me anyway)

    haha, sometimes I wonder this same thing...?

  • Mr dr. says those claims are unfounded. If it were true for me, I'd be delivering an 11+ lb. baby!

    It does go through a growth spurt in 3rd tri, but it's different for everyone.

    Everyone is different so don't freak out too much.  But yeah, the baby does put on a lot of weight in the final weeks.
  • I was glad to get that reminder because I've been so darn hungry this week, I guess baby is going thru a growth spurt.
