Hi im 33 weeks pregnant.. And I have
really huge tummy. Someone said I could
go to labor any day because it looks so
big and it dropped really low.. But my
due date is sept. 20.. Is it possible
that the first day of my last period that
I gave to my doctor was wrong? I am
pretty sure that it was a regular period
becuz it was heavy and had it for 6days.
But I heard other stories that some women
still get their period even though they
are already pregnant.. Plus I am having
mild cramps everynight, like having my
period.. Im not that weak, I can still
walk just like before but not that fast..
And I still go to school.. Sometimes I
think it's what I eat that made the baby
grow really big (im also worried they do
c/s), cuz i've been eating chocolates and
unhealthy food lately, especially coke..
I just cant help it! :d anyone have any
advice? Thanks a lot..

When I was 6 months everyone thought I was
due anyday cause my belly was so big. I
dropped in my 7 months but that doesn't
mean you'll deliver anytime soon. I was 1
week overdue.

Usually baby drops like 2 months before,
then 2 weeks before, then again the day
before delivery.
I believe there are no sinful foods while
pregnant. Unless diabetic--and of course
in moderation. Not chocolate bars for 2
months or anything. Good foods too. I
think our bodies tell us mostly--maybe
natural sugar like fruit might take the
choc cravings away. Or yogurt or
something good!!!

I feel you I am 31wks and everywhere I go
people say are you due any time soon your
carring so low and I say no. Oct but the
funny thing is my dr says he thinks that I
will have her sometime at the end of sept.
So why do they even give us a due date if
we usally don't have the baby at that
time. :?

Thanks for the replies... But it's not
about giving the wrong info about my last
period to my doctor right? I also worry
about having c/s.. I have a friend that
had a really huge tummy and ended up
having a c-section to her 11 lb baby..

I had to have a c/s my baby was 11lbs
too. You could ask your doc to do an
ultrasound to see how big the baby is,
just cause you have a big belly does not
mean you will have a c/s. If its a big
baby they might be able to take you early
so it doesnt get to big. My doc didnt
check the size of my baby until I was
overdue, so tell yours you are worried

I had a pretty big tummy too, people
thought I was having twins. I ended up
having a 8lb, 6oz boy (by c-sec only
because his head was in the wrong position
and I could've snapped his neck if I
pushed) and found out I had 2 amniotic
sacs which could've been why I was so big
??? I delivered 4 days before my due
date. I didn't really drop till the end
but my bf's cousin dropped really low at
around 6 months but still delivered right
around her due date.
Here's me around 36 weeks. I don';t look
too happy cause it was heavy and it was
sooooooooo hot at that time--lol an just
imagine I still went another 4 weks after
that!

You were pretty big. Looked like it
could pop. Did they tell you the other
sac could have been a reobsorbded twin.
15% of all pregnancy's start out twins,
and most woman never even know. My
ex-husband new girlfriend miscarried on
twin around 3 mos and carried the other to
term. Strange huh

That happened to my cousin's gf too. But
she lost 1 at 5 months and the other is
now almost 5 yrs old! They didn't really
know why there was 2 sacs, they said it
could've been I was preggers with twins
really early on since my 1st u/s was at 5
weeks and there was only 1.
