I got a belly!

[Cright]

I'm due just after Linnis, I'm due October 29th.

I still have that hard belly feeling that makes me not want to lay on my stomach (at least on the ground, which I occasionally will do near the fire place at my friends house) but still can't see any change.

This is my first, but my best friend is pregnant with her 4th, and she's shown a little sooner with each one. Right now she's 32 weeks and about the same size as she was w/ her 3rd full term.

I have a tilted uterus with this pregnancy also. At least I used to, I am not sure that I still do. Did it make things as uncomfortable for you also? As far as sex is concerned I mean. All of our "normal" positions for intercourse (the positions we preferred) were all painful after the second month of pregnancy and I am just now starting to enjoy them again. Well that is a little off thread so I will end it here!

I am just starting to look pregnant...and I just passed the 20 week mark. I'm quite proud of my little tummy...

 

[Cright]

It's nearly 10 days later and my stomach is no longer hard and uncomfortable... I think maybe it was my guts. Good ole progesterone makeing things go all crazy in there. I'm down 11lbs and 11 w and 4 d. I think things will start changing in the next few weeks.

 

[Linnis]

I was getting dressed this morning and standing in my underwear and bra in the bathroom and DH says "Hey, you are showing!". I have a belly below my belly buttion which is going out sideways..Hehe, I'm 12 wks 5 dys.

 

[Leanna]

Neat... any maternity clothes yet?

 

[CrystalBrooke]

you guys are lucky..maternity clothes for the summer are so much cuter than ones for winter

 

[Linnis]

No, right now I'm wearing DH's tee shirt though.

I haven't had the strength to go shopping yet, went out today for food and needed to take two snack breaks and napped when I got home. When I got the whole diabetes thing uder control in a week or two I'll go shopping for some bigger stuff.

I totally agree! But, being pregnant in the hot summer is not quite so comfortable...

Agreed, that's why I'm glad i'll have popped little'un out by mid june, before the weather gets really hot (well as hot as it ever does in the UK)

I have a huge belly, it's probably going to be a big baby but my other two were big babies so it's not a suprise. My belly button is almost flat, a few more weeks and it will be.

 

[Linnis]

I'm going to be huge by the end of the summer, I have a funny feeling I'll be trying to be as close to nakid as possible at home keeping the air at 55 seems expencive.

I was pregnant with my son when it was the hottest summer here in 100 years and the state was literally on fire. I ended up chopping off all of my hair to keep cool, it was the worst ever. I was pregnant with my dd in the winter time, and I could go out in a blizzard witout a coat and still be hot. I have a feeling this summer is going to be the same as with my son (who was due around the same time as these babies, but came three weeks early) becasue we're already getting 90 degree weather and have had several fires already- this time will be worse for me since I'm preggo with twins, I figure I'll just lock myself in a commercial freezer until it's time

Sounds like it's a good thing I'll be in Ireland over the summer. The top temp here last year was 26 degrees centigrade (not sure what that is in fahrenheit), and that was only for one day. The rest of the summer my husband and I were in long pants and long sleeves most of the time. So hopefully I'll be fairly comfortable...

 

[Leanna]

Huh.... well my son was born August 27, so i was my largest during the summer too.... I didn't think it was too bad, actually, so long as you dress for the weather. I went on a walk first thing in the morning while it was still cool, or would wait until sunset.... other than that I stayed a lot in the air conditioning...

The summer is one thing I'm not too happy about being so pregnant. I'm due in the middle of September and it's going to be so hot. We have night time lows of mid 80 degrees and well into the hundreds during the day. I had my daughter at the end of January and it was in the high 80s when we brought her home. I know I'm going to be so miserable since I was so hot with DD even though it was "winter" LOL

 

[Linnis]

I hear you, in August we have many days over 95 and it doesn't get below 70 even at night. Last year we had 10 straight days of nothing below 104...it was not fun I can imagine being pregnant...I can only imagine Texas weather.

 

[KristiLee]

I had my daughter in the beginning of June and it wasn't too bad, but then again I love to be hot. I am due at the end of June this time around so I will be careful not to say I am excited, because this pregnancy has been so different anyway. I enjoyed having Katlyn in the summer though because we were able to get outside a lot when she was really little, whereas if it were the winter we would have been hermits (our winters can go anywhere from -10 to 30 degrees - we're from Maine).

 

[Linnis]

Yeah, I'm thinking an end of October baby won't be going far. To the doctor, church, maybe to the store..

Do you not have air conditioning?

 

[Cright]

Linnis, it sound like your in the desert! 104!! yikes!

It gets hot here, but there are few days that get over 100. I'm in Michigan. The winters are very cold, w/ plenty of snow. often below freezing. I'd like to move further south for more mild winters!
