Ending second trimester belly pics! - Page 2

[Pynki]

Here is my 24 week belly. My Belly.Although I think it looks like a beer gut more than a pregnant belly. The boobs are ok I suppose.

Pynki- cute belly, nice boobs, awesome siggie.

[Pynki]

Thanks. You don't the the belly looks a bit beer gut-ish? I suppose this being my 4th pregnancy and all I probably shouldn't bitch too much about it. I mean. I'll be 25 weeks on Thursday and I've still only gained like 7 lbs total. My pregnancies keep getting smaller and smaller, and the babies stay pretty much the same.

Here's what feels like a dumb question....when does the 3rd trimester start??? And at what point are we 6mo, 7mo...etc????

Most books will consider the first two trimesters 14 weeks (so week 0-14 and 14-28) and the third trimester 28 and onward. I have seen some books that say 26 weeks is the third trimester, although I tend to go by 28.

And as for the months, that depends on if you go by lunar months (4 weeks) or calendar months. Also if you count by your LMP or your conception. If you go by calendar months you would either count forward from your LMP/conception, or backwards from EDD? Haha, pretty confusing, I just go by lunar months... keeps it simple and I get to be more pregnant!

I think I am past the cutesy little belly stage of pregnancy and into my awkwardly huge and tight and uncomfortable belly stage.... sigh. I will try and post a pic tomorrow!!

picture posting tutorial

Hey ladies,
I am a newbie and would love to post belly pics but I am tech. challenged. How do I do it here?

[Piper's mama]

Pynki,
how did you only gain 7 lbs? UGGGG... I envy you. I am going to have a lot of work to do. I've hit the 20 lb mark already. All part of pregnancy though...
Kudos to you

[Pynki]

I generally put on all the weight on the back end of pregnancy like the last 12 weeks or so. That said. I've USUALLY gained a bit more by now. I do have a hyperthyroid auto immune problem though so gaining weight and keeping weight can be a problem for me when not pregnant.

Ok so EVERYONE look smaller than me!!!

Someone asked how to post pics.....first put them on a free site for pictures. I use snapfish and theres yahoo i think. theres tons. you then click on the blue world (in posting mode here...) with the chain on it and it brings up a box where you put the website. you can then name it something in this edit mode but its kinda hard to describe. just leave it the first time so you don't get aggrivated....

ok so heres me at 27 weeks.its all baby...

weight gain: moving mamma you are NOT 25 weeks: you look GREAT!!!
techincally from pre-pregnancy weight i have gained 11 pounds but i actually like to count from when i started going back up cause its "real" weight not just the "crap" hanging off that i couldn't get rid off!! so really its about 19 but either way its still good....tho i am afraid to see what happens in these last few months....oh boy...

[TurboClaudia]

no belly pics to share, but just had to share these cute ones of our 2 year old (tomorrow is his birthday!) and us: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/claudi...lmc_EBUYISC_lz

feeling very self-conscious of the belly this time around, but maybe i will get over it...

Aw, Danielle, thanks! I just got weighed today (25 wks, 5 days; 4 days post picture) and I'm up 18 lbs. I gained 6 in the last 4 weeks. You really are all baby! What a cute tummy!

[crazyeight]

Shannon: yeah i hope the baby keeps all her weight right there!! I bet you don't even show the other 6 lbs!! Thats the tough part tho....keeping it steady.....course my house is almost devoid of choc. and such things right now...that helps alot..

The belly may be cute under the shirt but those previous stretch marks are getting painful...anyone else have their stretch marks hurting already? I have no idea what I am going to do with them...Any ideas? What are you/will you do about those marks? Mine didn't seem to fade at ALL last time....and i used to have such a good body.....oh so off topic but i think some guy actually "checked me out" a few days ago...thought that was odd...no one checks me out w/ds let alone pg!! Ok so I am completely rambling...what happened to a chat thread?

A couple more for the belly gallery. Today at 26 weeks.

I am still obsessing about whether I could possibly have twins again. Very unlikely. But that is my only experience. It is hard to fathom anything else. I am often tempted to have an u/s to find out for sure. But then I would just have to find some other pregnancy obsession.

Anyway, I think my belly is huge, but like last time, no one else seems to think so. (Okay, last time one person did ask me if I had a basketball under my shirt, and another asked me how many I had in there. But I discounted both of their comments for different reasons.) In one picture I am clearly letting it all hang out. I mean I can suck a lot of it in too. But then my god when I sit down it seems to protrude out a foot in front of me.

Anyway, it has been great to see everyone else's bellies. Very beautiful. Helps me stop obsessing for a bit.

By the way, these are my first pics posted to mdc. Not sure if I am just paranoid...or shy...or superstitious...But, here goes.

[Piper's mama]

I swear, and I'm not exaggerating here, that I have heard at least 15 times this pregnancy "Are you sure it's not twins?" Sounds to me like "wow Lisa, you look like the side of a barn". I was actually starting to wonder if there are twins in there, but then I came to my senses. Here's my first try at posting belly shots...here we go: http://www.cartershots.shutterfly.com let me know if it worked

[Piper's mama]

oooops! I forgot to mention that the above were taken at 27 weeks (last week)

[AutumnMama]

Cuuute bellies everyone!
Piper's mama--My belly looks quite similar to yours, and as far as we know there's only one in there

I keep bugging DH to bring home the cable so I can post my pics...maybe this week *sigh*
