24 Weeks!
Posted: 04-06-04 22:24pm

Yay!!! I'm 24 weeks today!!! Went to my doc appt yesterday and babys fine! Heartbeat is now 138-140 bpm Smile I was nervous too cuz I was feelin some pressure really low like near my (well ya know) and some lady told me its bad to feel that this early on in pregnancy and thats what made her have a miscarriage at 6 months so I talked to ym doc and she checked and said as long as my cervix is closed then everythings fine so phew! Lol! Smile just thought i'd let ya all know! Smile

p.S. Wonder if 138-140 means im havin a boy... Hmm... Teehee!

Congrats! The same happened to me and when my doctor cheked me last week she said that she could fell a little hand. My son did the same thing. You do have to be careful, I was prescribe to wear one of those pregnancies girdles. It's not got if you carry low. Im glad your cervix is closed so is mine. But still becareful, because once the baby starts to get heavier anything could go wrong. I'm not trying to scare you. It's just that i'm going trought the same thing and i'm 21 weeks. Good luck hun.

24 weeks = 6 months
length of pregnancy = 9 months
9 / 3 = 3
so 6 months into the pregnancy is two thirds of the way through

Lol! I thought 6 months started at 23 weeks? Oh wellz... Im goin by the other 9 month one not the lunar one hehehe Smile but yah every week I get so excited to start a new one! Just seems soooo much longer to go lol! But my backs really hurtin now so I think I can wait a lil till im bigger (i'm 24 weeks and measuring 25 cm... Doctor said that aint bad but she said hes prolly tall lol! Unless im eatin too much and just puttin on fat haha!) how far along is everyone else now??

Lol no I dont think thats bad, how they measure u at the doctors is different tho, they'll measure from ur pubic bone, up to the top of ur uterus (so instead of measuring horizontal they measure u vertically). Thats the way they go by, unless they do the around thing where u live, but im not too sure how that works lol! But im sure its not bad. I dont think measurements are serious until about 28 or so weeks... I think anyways lol!
