Hello Girls!
Welcome to a new thread!
Anya - 20w1d
Maria - 19w5d
Eternidad - will be 20 weeks in two weeks?
Going for my big US tomorrow, very nervous, I hope everything will be great with the anatomy of the baby!
I bet it will be a boy but let's see if my "mother instinct" is right :)
Wish me luck!!!!

I am thinking of the name Carolanne Rose for my baby girl.. what do you ladies think?
Anya- I think that traveling will be fine, everything depends on your cofort level, and also taking quite a few rest stops. You will do fine.
Don't worry about not getting bigger, sometimes is better, as long everything is well. Everyone's is built different. I am also a pettite women but it happens my belly has been getting quite big and it feels a wee bit uncomfortable at times. Guess we women can never stop worrying. You bc your belly is not too big, me bc mine is bigger enough.
I think is nice your belly is growing at a good pace and as long you are not gaining much weight it fine.
Like Maria say you don't want a fat baby. About the cramping go back and call the docs, pretty sure they will be happy to reassure you and run test if need it.
The fact you are having troubles sleeping is r/t belly growing and your body adjusting to the changes, about 4 weeks ago I was so uncomfortable but now I can sleep better my body is kind of adjusting.
I will go for my glucose test in 4 more weeks.

Anya- Traveling up to 7 months is safe. It depends on your comfort. You should take breaks while driving and stretch your legs and walk few steps. How many hours is the car journey? You need to go to the bathroom quite often. One suggestion I got if I had to drive for longer period of time, is to carry a yogurt container in case you have to pee and there is no restroom available and specially clean restrooms. I haven't tried yet, but that's a good back up. Keep yourself hydrated.
My first mile stone ends on Wednesday and then look forward for 28 weeks. I just bought few maternity outfits. About shopping for the baby, I will do it when I feel comfortable.
Dont worry about not getting bigger. You are small built and baby is growing fine. My friend is small..petite. I was surprised that she delivered a 8 pound girl.:). So don't worry, we want to have a healthy baby and not fat baby..:). I guess your lower back pain might be due to you sitting longer period of time. Raise your leg while you sit. Get a foot rest at work. I am not sure of cramping, but I get slight pain in my lower abdomen once in a while. If you feel something is not right don't hesitate to call your doctor.

Hello ladies,
Everybody seems to be doing great!
Eternidad and Maria, I am going to have a small trip for many hours in a car driving to miami when I will be 28-29 weeks, do you think it is safe?
Im not buying any maternity clothes anymore, I am still not quiet as big ( I would say the same as before on that picture)...I will wait another month-2 to get something else, if I need to.
I am doing extensive research on what to buy in May-June, like cribs and so forth...its fun but I wish I didn't have school and work, that way I can spend more time on that...
I still have horrible low back pains, sleeping problems and crampy feeling here and there...not even mentioning BH, that I get few times a day :(
My first milestone is almost over, another 3 days!
Girls, welcome to 24 weeks! Time flies by, can't wait to be 28 weeks and have that test done...

Eternidad- You are welcome. We all know how hard it was for us to get where we are today. You don't have to explain to anyone. Just ignore what people say. Just because your belly is big doesn't mean that you will deliver soon. Baby will come out only wen its ready. We didn't ask their opinion. God will take care of everything. :) Take care.
