"Super Baby"

battwoman3 · July 2014

I just left my 22 week appointment. This is our first baby, and it's a boy (due November 19)! Everything is ahead of schedule.. Baby is measuring a week and a day ahead, we felt him kick from the outside really early (18 weeks). Now he is keeping me up at night throwing dance parties and my boobs have already started leaking! My doctor just laughed and called him "super baby" and joked we're going to have our hands full, haha. I just wanted to see where everyone is at in this stage of your pregnancy!

I'll be 24 weeks on Friday and NOTHING! No leaking, we haven't been able to really feel any kicking from the outside and I don't even feel kicks from the inside often at all. When we went for our last apt we were 22wks and measured '20cm' SO...idk...but I wish he'd hurry up and kick around! Youre lucky

I hear so many mommas talk about leaking already, and it scares the be-jeezus outta me lol. Weird question- do ur boobies look or feel different before the stage where they leak? I'd like to mentally prepare myself for that moment lol

Congrats on Super Baby! I'm feeling regular movement at certain times every day but we still haven't been able to feel from the outside, I'm 22W4D. Boobs have been leaking but nothing terrible.

You might never have the issue at all. I never leaked with DS before I actually gave birth to him, and I exclusively BF him and had no supply issues at all. I did leak at night when my boobs would get too full, but I just used pads for then.

Nothing really changed! Besides the obvious getting huge (First stretch marks: on my boobs), nipples larger and dark... But I actually woke up in the middle of the night and in confusion, wiped what I thought was drool off my boobs (haha). I didn't think much about it until later that morning I looked in the mirror and saw what my husband now calls "Boob Goo" on my shirt... Two circles of wetness forming (about the size of a dime on each nipple). So it was really out of the blue!! Nothing felt different and I had no signs it was coming! And thank you for all your congrats, guys! I love reading where everyone else is at! Congrats to you all!

Congrats on your active little boy! I'm a STM, but this little girl is crazy. I felt her for the first time around 16 weeks and she is constantly having dance parties and practicing her kick boxing. It's definitely my favorite part.
