•  I am getting an u/s on Tuesday June 5th to see baby and what gender baby is. I haven't been able to figure out what this baby is like I did all of my other ones.
   I got my doppler in and baby's fht have been 144-150 usually. This morning they were 150-156. So very possible a girl but I am not having a feeling either way.
   I am swelling some and am very hot!! My bp is still really good though! Everything is going well. :)

•  Blood pressure is 116/60 and heart rate is 67. I forgot that you are not supposed to take bp after drinking caffeine and I have been drinking iced tea all day and then had hot tea tonight. Oh well it is still good bp. :)
   My fundus measured in at 21 weeks along. I have been measuring 2 weeks ahead consistently with this baby as I did with my last one also.
   Today baby's movements were more than they were all last week. Baby is getting bigger and stronger!

Wednesday, 16 May 2007

• Dates and numbers:
  There are 152 days until your due date on October 16, 2007.
  You are 128 days pregnant.
  You are 4.2 months pregnant.
  You are in your 5th month of pregnancy. (huh?)
  Your 1st trimester: January 09, 2007 to April 09, 2007. (0 - 12 weeks)
  Your 2nd trimester: April 10, 2007 to July 23, 2007. (13 - 27 weeks)
  Your 3rd trimester: July 24, 2007 to October 16, 2007. (28 - 40 weeks)

  
  
  
  Thumb-sucking at 18 weeks....
  
  By week 18 of your pregnancy, your baby's crown-to-rump length is 5 to 5.5 inches long. Your baby continues to develop fat layers and weighs about 5.25 ounces. Your baby will continue to grow and develop, but the rapid growth will slow down for a little while. You will be able to feel your uterus just below your bellybutton. If you put your fingers sideways to measure, you can feel your uterus about two finger-widths below your bellybutton. At this point of your pregnancy, your uterus is approximately the size of a cantaloupe. Although weight gain varies from woman to woman, your total weight gain at this point should be 10 to 13 pounds.
  
  At this time if you had an ultrasound, heart abnormalities can be detected. If the ultrasound technician detects abnormalties, further ultrasound exams may be ordered to follow the baby's development. There is still space available in your uterus and your baby will be active for periods at a time. Your baby may sit cross legged or turn somersaults.
  
  Around this time, your baby becomes more sensitive to the outside world and shows her presence through powerful kicks and prods. The bones through which sound is passed to the inner ear have hardened and the part of the brain that receives and processes nerve signals from the ears are developing. This means that your baby can hear now. Your baby will get used to familiar sounds, such as your heart beating, familiar voices, blood rushing through the umbilical cord and other daily routine sounds. Your baby will become startled if he hears a loud sound.
  
  If you have a stethoscope at home, you can now hear the baby's heartbeat yourself.
