3rd Trimester

Late third tri ladies..come in

I'm 31 weeks and have really been shocked by how much I have "popped" in the last week or so. If you are late third tri...tell me about your "growth spurt" from 31 to 39 weeks. Did you stay essentially the same until the 36th week (as a friend told me) or just keep growing and growing?

  • I'm probably no help because my OB keeps telling me I'm measuring small.  But I feel like there was a definite change around that time and things just felt heavier too.  With DS #1 I gained a lot of weight in my 5th month, and then just slowly progressed after that, though I never got to my 9th month with that one.

  • just since christmas i am noticing that i am having a much harder time getting around and that i look much bigger.  my dh has mentioned it a few times, and for him to notice, since he sees me everyday, i am thinking something has changed.  so this has happened between weeks 33 and 36 ish.   
  • I'm still growing! I'm averaging a pound a week like my dr said. Some weeks I don't gain anything and then the next I gain 2. Just when I feel like I can't get any huger I do!
  • Oddly enough, some days I feel like I look huge, and some days I feel small. I don't get it. Looking back through pictures, I don't look like I had much of a spurt, more like a little bit at a time. Everyone's different though.
  • Yep I'm feeling like the baby has really dropped lately.  I didn't notice it until about a week ago when all of my maternity shirts are not long enough anymore!  I refuse to buy more maternity clothes though...so the kids at the school will have to get used to me wearing the same clothes over and over and over again!

  • Everyone is different, and you will be too. I think I had a big growth spurt, belly wise at around 33 weeks and by 35 weeks I finally started to feel pretty uncomfortable. I think I had another small one recently. I am measuring exactly 38 weeks at this point. 
  • Just over the last week and a half I have gotten HUGE!!  My maternity pants that were still loose 2 weeks ago won't button now :(  And it hurts too!!  I am 34 weeks 5 days now.
