Q: Belly pics & a little update
asked by:

Still nothing much to see
When I lie down you can see how far up my uterus is now.. it's nearly up to my belly button
I had a midwife appointment last monday & she took some bloods for the triple test. Hopefully I'll get the results back in about a week or so. Not long til my scan now (it's on 8th July) & I really hope I get to find out the sex of my baby.. I'm getting impatient! He/she is so active.. I feel kicks all the time & they just keep getting stronger. I love feeling it!

Unfortunately I can't see your pictures for whatever reason but i'm sure you look great.
How excited you must be to find out if Jenny's going to have a little brother or sister Hopefully baby cooperates with you and opens its legs

LMAO!!!!
You have a gorgeous little bump, Zanny. I'd never guess you'd carried a baby before - your skin is so perfect! I hate you by the way...

| Oh how cute, you look so skinny other then the part where your uterus is at its so cute. How's Jenny feel about being a big sister? |
Thanks! Jenny's really too young to understand there's another baby on the way.. but she'll point to my tummy when I ask her where the "little baba" is & she likes to hear the baby's heartbeat. I know she's going to make an awesome big sister when the time comes though
Thank you everyone!
I really thought my tummy would be bigger than this by now. I don't think I'll ever get that perfect, round baby belly I've always wanted *sigh* Oh well, I should consider myself lucky.. I didn't have any aches & pains at the end of my pregnancy with Jenny or anything. I think my body was designed to carry babies.. & hide them!
I can't believe I'm nearly at the halfway mark, it's insane.

Ok i can see your pictures now! you look great 
I'm carrying almost exactly like you. Obviously my uterus is lower then yours but i have the same kind of non-existant little bump that just keeps moving up a bit higher but not growing OUT much bigger lol
Do you have a doppler or does Jenny just like going to the appointments with you?

Thank you!
I did get a couple of stretchmarks. I had some on my hips anyway so the new ones were kinda joined on to the old ones, & I got a few on my lower back. I got them at 37 weeks but then I was induced, so I think if I'd gone to 40 weeks (or longer) I would have got more. My sister only got them really badly when she got to 42 weeks.
