20 Week Belly Pic's!
Posted: 04-20-07 19:51pm

I don't know....I think my belly has gotten bigger from my last set of 18 week pictures! What do you all think??!!!
Went to the Doctor today for a check up and to get back my blood and u/s results. All were good, but he said that I may be a week to a week and a half further along then they originally thought b/c of baby's measurements and where my uterus is right now! Ahhh, the science of pregnancy!
Cheers ladies......here's to a great weekend ahead! Wink



For some reason my back almost looks arched here, but it isn't...weird?!

You're so tan! Wow! Shocked sorry, it's just that I can't tan at all and your skin is so pretty to me! Is that a weird thing to say to another person? Laughing

your tummy is so cute! Did you ever find out what you're having?

Thanks Ladies Wink I don't feel tanned, but I am half Korean so I have the darker skin naturally, and tan fast, although I'm sad to say that I haven't been outside much as the weather here is still the pits - I think the highest it's gotten so far this year is about 14C. I wish summer would hurry and get here!
I appreciate all the nice comments - Thank you Wink
No, I never did fins out the sex of the baby. I did end up asking the doctor today if he knew, but the tech will only tell you what she thinks it is at the time of the u/s. The can't put it on the results that go to the doctor for legality reasons, so I guess I had my chance and lost it. That's ok, I don't mind....it's not bad not knowing - which is strange b/c I am the worst person for having will power. How I did it this time is beyond me??!!!!!!

Your belly is so cute.

Whenever I got my u/s it put me another week ahead too but the dr wouldn't change the due date for me either. She just thinks that I am having a big baby. Oh boy, I am going to have to push a big baby out!

I hear you girl....they said the same to me! How much did they say your baby was weighing? They told me around 12 ounzes( I was at 19 weeks and 2 days the day I had the u/s done), but I don't know anymore if I really am 20 weeks (today) or 21-21 1/2 weeks? No one really knows (doctor and tech). They say it doesn't matter as long as baby is healthy and progressing. But still....it would be nice to know............ Rolling Eyes The doctor said that my first u/s results could have been a bit off b/c I had it done before 8 weeks, so he said that my last u/s results are a bit more accurate, putting me at 21 weeks now. Anyone else had that happen?!

I was 18 weeks when I got the u/s and the tech said that he weighed 10.5 oz. She said that he was pretty big but that because it runs in my family to have big babies she thought it was normal. I think that your baby is a little bigger than mine though. I was exactly 18 weeks I think because I remember that I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to see what he was. Lol, it was so obvious I should've never worried.

Well, if she told you that you're having a big baby, then mine is going to be monster huge!!!!!!!!!!! Shocked I was a week and a bit further than you, but like I said, s/he was weighing in at 12 ounces!!! Yikes, this is gonna hurt if this baby keeps growing the way it is right now!

Thank you Wink I have a feeling that I will have to take it out soon. It's so close to the surface of the skin, that it looks like one good tug and it would come out. Oh well, I've had it for years, so maybe it's time!

you dont have to take it out, you can get what is called a PTFE bar bell for pregnancy, you might want to check it out before you make up your mind completely

I've been told by my midwife. If you ask her to give an estimate judging on the scan results then she should be able to and i think from about week 36 they can give a reasniably acurate estimate of what they will weight at full term
