PAMPERS JULY 2010

Vicky - I posted a few weeks ago the weights posted by other moms to be, as I found that most of the weights on the charts I found on the internet were quite way out.

The "real life" weights that I posted are here: www.moomie.co.za/forum/4-pregnancy-and-b...l?limit=25&start=225.

copy and paste the above onto your browser, or go to page 10 of our thread and scroll down.

If you compare to these weights you are spot on.

I must admit that I also have "big day" and "smaller days" and this I have found depends on like Juandre said, what I am wearing. In somethings I will get comments all day like - are you sure you only have 1 in there, luckly we have a hospital near by, or gee-wiz that baby is gonna come any minute - from like complete strangers, and then wearing something else comments from family like "i'm sure you were bigger with Ethan". I've also noticed that some days my little baba can lie in ways that make me more uncomfortable, my tummy seem bigger and even harder and then other days, not sure how she has moved, but my tummy just seems flabby, a little smaller and I am comfortably cruizing through the day.

Don't stress!! Your baby is as perfect as it should be!!

? ladies,

when you are looking at your scan picture ( the one printed out)

the fta is babies measurement ??? cos that shows 21.07 cm

what is ac that shows 16.27cms and bpd is 4.95 cms and xfl is 3.58cms

i previously had very tall babies... my son was 56 cms and daughter 54 cms when born...?? so i would expect the length to be bigger this time too??!!! maybe i should book an app with my gp and ask him to measure, maybe that will put my mind at ease....

well when went to gynae this is the measurements he gave

21 weeks 415 g and 21.07cm

and my last visit i was 25/26 weeks
895 g and 18.96 cm...... but some of you ladies said that maybe the doctor could not measure her completely cos she will be off the screen...

if i look on my 21 weeks scan all of the other readings they gave put.. my baby ahead by +- 5-6 days.... so initially wasnt worried.. but now after my scan on the 30th april ( 26 weeks)im anxious and especially after the comments made yesterday... maybe im just being paranoid

thanks juandre i appreciate it.

Vicky
What was your babies estimated weights at which weeks again? I've looked through our stuff, but can't find.

regards,

can i ask someone with internet access to do me a huge favour..

i know you have sites you can go into , to see average sizes of babies and lengths at all the different weeks. i cant go in as internet has certain sites blocked at work.. if anybody can maybe post the different weights and lengths from say about 21 weeks and what you can expect... im really worried about babies weight.. i dont believe im carrying small but other ppls comments have gotten me to feel anxious... pretty pretty please..!!!!!!!

Jo- I am going to Dr today at 32 weeks and know that I will go every 2 weeks from here on out until 36 weeks when it changes to once a week. Maybe your gynae is just very cautious.

This Sunday we have our maternity shoot. I hate photo's but know that these will be treasured. The only thing is my face is soooooooooo round


I also want to book a pregnancy massage. It costs R300 from a place recommended by the midwife at antenatal. They ise a special bed so I get to lie on my tummy for an hour... YAY!!!
