Due Date Club October 2003:measurements ...

2003-06-24

Name: Manisha Hi

I am always worried about measuring too small, as i am not putting on enough weight, its just my body type.. can't help it!! Last time doc said the size is fine, but i am waiting for next appointment to know the size again. 1 month seems too long for the appointments.
Has your belly button popped out? Mine hasn't yet and i am in 22nd week. Just trying to guess the size thru belly button.
Nick, what is measuring big, the baby or the uterus? I think you should switch to the salt recommended by Bargavi. Bargavi, is this the brand name 'Salt sense'? Is it available in any common grocery store?

HI
As far as I know not everyone's belly button pops out.Mine hasn't and I am 25 weeks 3 days.Mine has just become less hollow than it was before.Don't know yet if it will.My fundal height was measuring 3 cm more than normal.But my doc wasn't so concerned .I just freaked out !! He said that it was due to something very salty I had recently.So i decided to cut down on salt.

And about the weight gain I am one who somehow has been gaining a pound every week even during my first trimesster when I was vommitting every day.I still don't know how as I would like to gain less weight.I think it all depends on ur body structure so nothing to be worried about I guess if your doc is not worried.

Hi!

Manisha,
When i read abt all the girls putting on 12-16lbs iam amazed bcos iam no where near that.Iam 5\";4.5'tall plus i guess it is my tendency to not put on wt easily.
Iam 23 wks now and can feel my fundus almost 3 finger breadths above the navel.My tummy looks the size it shld be but overall my face&whole body i don't look as if i have gained much.
My dr never seems concerned while i feel maybe i shld have put on more.
Iam relieved someone is in the same boat as me.My bellybutton is stretched horizontally compd to round before,is this how it pops?
But as long as baby's growth is fine lets not worry.Though i wish my doc wld do the scan before 28wks iam impatient to know the baby's measurements,as i haven't had a level 2 scan as yet.
How r u feeling the movements?i feel a proper sensation of movement once my 6th mth started.More like a bubble&round coiling sensation when i guess the baby is moving.How abt you?
Wld love to hear your side of the story!
I see the grp is really active.
Radhika&Bargavi&Anu hope u r doing good.
I've had a busy weekend so logging in only today&found so many unread mssgs.
Sushmita good job u did i'll soon send my pic too.
Ritu from Baltimore how r u faring?
Gosh i feel like seeing my doc after every 2wks,my mind is full of my pregnancy, my baby, my life-am i getting paranoid!!
Cld all of u pls tell me from 6th mth what does the dr do in your visits?My last visit was vitals&doppler on the belly at 20wks.
Love to all&reply soon!

Hi Girls,
Manisha and Manvi, I too lost weight in my first trim tremendously. I was so scared that too coz I have 2 babies.
Since last 12 weeks or so I gained a lot. Dr told me to drink one Ensure Protein or Ensure Plus (not just Ensure ok). They are high in Protein and Calories too, but dont fill ur stomach. It really boosted my weight gain, I am taking it easy now since my weight is kind of ok now for my weeks.
Thot I will share with u guys abt this.
Dont substitute the drink for any of ur regular diet, just have it as an extra supplement. And its Very Healthy too and Dr Recommended.
Take care
Bargavi

Hi Manvi

Even i am amazed that ideal weight gain should be 1 pound every week at this stage, this seems so impossible to me. I have seen no change in the scale from last 1 month, my total weight gain is so less that I am ashamed to disclose it. But same with my doc.. never concerned, sometimes i feel so angry upon them.. they are more concerned about showing their sense of humor!!
Belly button will just pop outside, just opposite to as it is now, inside to outside, something like babies have... it is shown in magazines.
Baby movements are more definite from last week, not much in the day but more after dinner.
6 month's doc visit will also be the same, few additions will be there from 7th month.
You'll waiting for your level 2 scan. I just went crazy seeing my scan, for 2 days i was not feeling myself on earth. She was everytime turning the monitor more towards me, so that i don't raise my head much to have a proper scanning. My mind is also not free from the pregnancy/baby thoughts even for a moment. it is so exciting!!
How do you feel your fundus? I can not make out much diff, below navel the lower abdomen is hard, and little bit above, this is how you feel or any other way also?

Take care and anjoy
Manisha

Hi Manisha

Hi
Thanks for ur concern. Yes I am trying to be too careful. Sometimes it frustrates me, but I guess jus few more months.
Yes the SaltSense is available in any American Grocery stores.
1 month is quite long I agree... I 2 cant wait, hopefully after 28 weeks they will see us every fortnight.
Take care
Bargavi
