Paige I will always be jealous of your pregnancy pictures! I try to avoid the camera during pregnancy...and I started showing with Shay by the end of my first trimester!

My goodness, Paige, I'm about the same week as you are, but I look like I'm ready to pop anytime!! I carried very big & showed very early with Katie, and this time it's even bigger & earlier! My mom & bestfriends suspected that I'm pregnant before I even announced it!!! :eek:

I feel huge too but I guess it doesn't look as bad as it feels LOL I think some is bloat, as I tend to get bigger as the day goes on, especially after eating!

15 weeks.

Pregnancy has been really kind to me. I still have a ways to go though to see if I will get stretch marks or not.


and aww that is such a cute 15 week belly. It probably is mostly bloat. I still get it. There is less room in there so eating + needing to go to the washroom makes me bigger vs the morning when I don't.

Yeah it's like I have no room in there for food lol. I need to start watching what I eat more now that the crazy first trimester appetite is gone, I am sensitive to bloating as it is!

I get false labor all the time when I need to use the washroom. I'm not backed up either I just have no room for baby and my bowels apparently so I get really painful braxton hicks contractions. :(

I've heard that you usually 'go' more often just before labor too. A lot of the same muscles must be involved!

most people do feel like that but it's the sensation of the baby triggering the muscles not nessecarily because you have to poop lol. It's really the same feeling just on a much larger scale.

If I "went" while birthing Hannah I have no idea.

But... I don't really care if I did or not because the doc has seen it all. What WAS a little embarrasing was using my breast pump while hanging out with my MIL. LOL she was polite and stayed out of the room but I told her to go ahead and come in and keep me company as long as she wasn't weirded out by it. But I told her I felt like a cow on a milking machine lol I was doing both sides at the same time.

When I went for my physical a few months ago I was getting undressed when the doc knocked on the door, I didn't say anything and she walked in and was like "Oh gosh I'm sorry, do you want me to leave until you are dressed" I was like "Nah.. we've had babies... modesty pretty much goes out the window after that." lol

You people are tiny!

With Cole, I started feeling "bloated" at about 10 weeks, and had a teeny bump at 12 weeks. At 32 weeks, I looked ready to deliver (which actually happened).

With Carson, I had a bump at 10 weeks, and at 39 weeks I looked as if I was about to deliver a small litter. Think 1 1/2 basketballs...at least....

With Cooper, I had a teeny bump at 7 weeks. At 10 weeks, I was noticeably pregnant. At 5 months, I kept having people make comments on how I was going to give birth "any day now". At 37 weeks, when he was delivered (preeclampsia), it looked like I had 2 watermelons under my shirt (felt like it too!). I. Was. Huge!!! It didn't help that I had polyhydramnios (excessive amniotic fluid), but when you're only 5 ft tall, you're baby has nowhere to go but out! In fact, I had to physically hold my belly up with my hands if I was on my feet a lot. My doctor joked I was having a full litter. Lol

I'm short but I have a long torso. I swear my kids live in my back.
I'm probably 50/50 legs and torso, but my legs might be a bit longer than my torso.

Sitting down was MISERABLE when I was pregnant because the baby would be shoved up under my ribs. My prego belly started right below my boobs and ended at the hoo-ha. I was literally a walking belly. I have old pics on my external hardrive; I'll have to find some. It's the first time in my life I really wished I was taller.

Aww poor Mia!!!!! :( that does sound miserable, I can't even imagine.

Luckily I'm 5'9 and my torso is pretty long. And even now, I feel totally full of baby. Its the craziest feeling. I am so ready to be not pregnant and meet my little guy!

Mine depending on how it sits can headbutt me in the cervix as well as kicking me in the ribs. Generally, baby keeps their feet nice and tucked in. I've dropped and have a head engaged into my pelvis already so I'm pretty comfy with this whole breathing, not in the rib cage situation.

My first two were breech/transverse breech. But Cooper, oh my goodness. He dropped pretty early, and his head was o my pelvic nerve. I had been having Sciatic nerve pain, but that has nothing on pelvic nerve pain! I literally felt like someone was sticking a knife up my hoo-ha and twisting it. It's the only pain that ever made me cry.

On a better note, at one visit, Cole's little butt was sticking out my stomach. So the nurse gently pushed in him, and boy would he get aggravated! Lol! He would move, the "lump" would disappear, and then it came back out.

I also have a picture of one of Cooper's feet pushing against my stomach. You just see the tiny little lumps sticking out. :)

I hated being pregnant, but those moments were the highlights. I loved resting my plate on my belly (right underneath my boobs) and seeing the baby push against it. When I was pregnant with Cooper, my Dad was dying of cancer. He loved seeing my belly move (my children kicked and pushed a lot!). He said it helped him get through his sadness knowing that new life has begun - it was a reminder of what life is about.
