Welcome to the 3rd Trimester!

brickcitylove · October 2014

I just hit 28 weeks and am due 1/2, so that must mean we're all hitting the 3rd trimester sometime in the next month. 2/3rds of the way there. Only 1/3rd left to go ladies!!

I've noticed a lot more kicks & jabs recently and the belly is getting very obviously ridiculously preggo. What changes have you noticed??

MLC1990 · October 2014

Lots and lots more movement. I even felt the hiccups the other evening!! She's getting more patterns to it, sleep for a few hours wake up then back to quiet.

Due 1/3, 28 weeks tomorrow !!!

longcat07 · October 2014

well i'm impatient and count the 3T as starting at 27w. (actually, it's my OB that does that. lol) only 5 more days!

brickcitylove · October 2014

@longcat07‌ TB told me 28wks was 3rd but I feel like how things are counted are pretty variable. Yay 5 more days!

yeah, i found out with the transition from the 1st to 2nd that it varies by like a week and a half depending on who you ask...the 3T seems to vary a little less but still in the 1-week range.

MLC1990 · October 2014

@VioletGjoni‌ the hiccups are repetitive. Like bump bump bump right in a row. It's usually their head or butt bouncing off the uterine wall with each hiccup.

Least that's how it is for me.

cabbeeby · October 2014

When I went in for my 24 wk appointment, the nurse said I would be 3rd tri the following Sat. (At 25 wks!!) That seems way too early and I don't want the 3rd trimester to be 15 weeks long so I am going to count it as starting at 28.

kelseypell · October 2014

I will be hitting 28weeks Thursday . Due 1-8-15 . Feeling lots of movements . And my belly seems to bounce all over. Oh and can't forget about the raging heart burn .

AlfiesMOM · October 2014

I think it's technically 27 weeks and 3 days so some go with 27 others with 28! Since I am 27 today I am going with that!! Lots of kicks and nonstop peeing!

NatureLovers · October 2014

Yay for 3rd tri! The baby is moving a ton, to the point where it hurts sometimes.

StarLiteKiss · October 2014

I Just hit 27 weeks. 1 more week over here!!! I swear I have a lil miss future boxer star practicing, these movments are so strong.

robsbabygirl08 · October 2014

I'm going with 27 weeks since that's was I read in my books for nursing school

Aillise · October 2014

5 days til 27 weeks or 12 days till 28 weeks. Maybe I'll count 3rd trip at 27 and 1/2.

I counted it as 27 weeks. Belly is definitely getting noticeably bigger, still pee every 10 minutes, more noticeable kicks, and it's getting harder to move around/change positions at night.

I second ALL of that. Especially the having to roll out of bed. DH said last night when he asked me to plug his charger in between bed and wall " come on you didn't just run a marathon". Apparently I was huffing and puffing lol.. " Umm I'm big and she's pressed on my ribs/lungs I'm not that mobile or graceful anymore lol".

sanbry · October 2014

2-3 more weeks for me, however you count it. Just hit 25 yesterday. Totally bizarre to be almost in 3T. I'm hoping my guy will pick up the pace a little more, he's pretty chill compared to my first but he has some pretty big moves when he is moving!

annakimballd · October 2014

I'm 25 weeks, and I was told I was in the 3T! But it makes for a long 3rd trimester. Hopefully baby will come early. I'm big enough to say I'm in the last stretch!

emilyp2013 · October 2014

I am 28 weeks. I am pretty noticeably pregnant now. Baby girl kicks hard and with deadly aim. Poke my belly with one finger and she'll hit dead on. Gives the doctor problems with the doppler. lol They say she must have inherited my round house, I say if she ever wants to learn I'd be happy to teach her.

I get weird crampy feelings now I'll be asking doctor about. I also get huffy when I go up a few flights of stairs, especially if I'm carrying things.

jerseyttc · October 2014

28 weeks for me today! Due 1/9. Definitley feeling more constant movement and definitley looking pregnant now! Back and butt are getting very achey when I try to get out of bed to pee 20 times. It hurts to walk to the bathroom at 1am haha.

peggels24 · October 2014

26 weeks yesterday - I'm counting 27 as start of 3rd tri.

I haven't felt any hiccups yet but she moves all of the time now (especially when she hears DH's voice close to my belly). Lot more aches and pains and grunts and moans these days.

FitmomJess · October 2014

Lots of movement and horrible back pain now, ugh.

LadyXaverian · October 2014

I'll be 26 weeks on Monday and am counting 27 as 3rd tri. I am pretty excited to reach this milestone!!!

bkmama · October 2014

29 weeks, 2 days for me... definitely noticing some big changes. Some groin pain, increased fatigue, heartburn, and occasionally nausea. I am moving a little bit slower these days.

I keep reading all the birth stories on the October 14 board - we're getting so close! After October, there's November, December... then US. :-O My EDD is 1/1, so December is a real possibility for me, too, yikes.

All I want to do these days is nest - I keep forgetting so many important things and procrastinating like crazy. Can't wait for maternity leave.

luckylady18 · October 2014

@bkmama - good call on reading the birth stories from oct 14. I may hop on over there and get reading.

I'm having crazy anxiety about getting ready for the baby. All I want to do is clean and organize. It's making me a crazy person.

luckylady18 · October 2014

I cant stop reading all the birth stories. I went on Oct 14 and then to Sept 14. I'm addicted.

They are actually making me feel more calm about birth. Like, reading all of the different ways that things could pan out, and seeing that everyone is ok in the end. It helps!

@luckylady18 You just got me reading all the September ones! Looks like I'm not going to get much done at work today...

Yeah - not happening here either. Although I'm trying. I'm telling myself that the birth stories aren't going anywhere...

SamiBabi006 · October 2014

I swear my baby girl thinks she is a ninja! all i feel all day long is kicks and jabs. She likes to hang out in my ribs, which is kinda annoying. lol but hey at least shes doing good in there! Technically i dont hit the 3rd trimester til next week. Sleeeping is a joke however with how much i have to get up to pee in the middle of the night. Oh and getting kicked in the bladder is just loooovely

longcat07 · October 2014

yeah, kind of side-eyeing the "i hope my baby comes early" comment...and i HAD a baby come early and still be perfectly healthy. that's the exception though, not the rule, and i wouldn't count on it happening twice. don't get me wrong, i'm due 1/14 and would love to have that tax deduction from a 12/31 baby, but definitely not at the cost of my baby's health.

i hope my baby comes when she's ready, and not a day sooner.

annakimballd · October 2014

I'm sure women who repost other women's comments with something negative to say aren't intentionally being rude... But you are. This is my first pregnancy, and everything is new and exciting. I can't wait to meet my baby. Yes I am naive, and there is a ton to learn. However throwing in your two cents to make me look/feel stupid is shameful. I am the OP of " I hope my baby comes early" I did not say "I hope my baby is not healthy!" I am just excited and I know that my baby will come when he/she is ready. -rant over-

If you think we were RUDE, you probably don't belong here. NO one was rude to you. I just made a thumbs down! And I did that because I'm sitting in a hospital on bedrest trying to keep this kid in so she DOESN'T come early. So I apologize if my "thumbs down" seemed rude to someone who said they wish their baby comes early. No one made you look or feel stupid. If you feel that way from this conversation, that's your own issue. It wasn't from us.

Being a FTM mom is no excuse for anything, so am I.. and a lot of others here. And if you say "there's a lot to learn.." ..... we just taught you

Don't wish for early baby.

annakimballd · October 2014

I'm sorry you are in bedrest. Maybe you just need a hug and some encouragement. My excitement to see my baby is not me saying " I hope yours comes early" just to cause you any more emotional distress than you are apparently experiencing. But thanks for the lesson. And you are right, mean mom chat rooms aren't really my style. Best of luck!

MusicFanatic · October 2014

Hugs and encouragement is all I need, yo. Solves all problems, don't you know? My husbands hugs are failing me!!! I won't tell him

cclfc · October 2014

Can I restart this thread in a few weeks when the late Jan mommies are finally arriving at 3rd tri?

25w today so I have a few weeks to go yet! I'm not complaining though... 2nd tri is typically more comfortable than 3rd from what I read?? I'll gladly hang out in 2nd tri for a few more weeks.

cclfc · October 2014

But I agree - addicted to birth stories! Been stalking them since the July mommies had their babies.

Lanatir · October 2014

Man. I avoided this thread and once I finally clicked on it, it had drama. hahaha.

Want a personalized experience?
