Pollywog Blog: 20 weeks

[eniarelocin]

20 weeks marks the half-way point for pregnancy.

Exciting. Terrifying. It's all big, BIG, and BIGGER from here. Bye, bye life as we know it.


And now... bed. It's barely dark and I'm exhausted.

Heh - and I think it's around now that you'll start to have the "WTF am I doing?!!" thoughts too! :-)

Congratulations on the halfway point! Time does actually appear to go a little faster from here, although I've heard the last few weeks drag. I'm so glad I skipped that part ;-)

Bethan came early?

From the pictures of you I would have thought she was almost late! You were huge. But then, you're a fairly small frame to begin with aren't you?

I'm not small. Maybe no one will even notice by then.

She came at 36w6d, but weighed the average for a 40 week baby of 7.5lbs! And I have a medium frame - she was just a big baby. Who knows how big she might have been if she wanted to wait until 40 weeks? I'm guessing that's why she came out early!

People can really, really vary with their bellies; I've seen some really skinny women look like they're 15 weeks, and then there are huge ones like me! It all depends on how the baby is lying as well. It's not all dependent on the padding we have to start with :-)

I guess we'll see how it goes for me. I have some padding to start with.

You honestly don't look any bigger than I was to start with :-)

Ah- see that's really just a testimate to knowing the flattering angles to use in photography!

Ha - I know a fair bit about them myself! :-)
