Your Pregnancy: Week 22

How soon should you buy the baby's nursery i am 23 weeks and i have not bought anything for baby yet.

With my first two, I didn't buy til late, but with this pregnancy, I've already gotten most things bought and set up. We're ready! I'm 22 weeks right now.

Why isn't there any info out there for mommies to be, like me who aren't showing yet?! I'm 22 weeks pregnant, thebump isn't doing a great job in the week by week blurb of including everyone!. Everything is, "your bump this, your bump that...your belly button should pop out any day now"...So frustrating! "Real estate" is not getting hard to come by in my belly, I'm 6'1" and have plenty of room for my growing baby girl. No huffing and hard to breathe here!

Debzmsb and Skobaby yall are lucky. I'm 5ft and feel like this little girl may be part amazon. i'm constantly winded and only have 1/2 of my belly button left (22wks). since i've been so tired i've tried to buy things a little at a time. we've gotten the bed and clothes, but still need a car seat and stroller. you dont want to wait to long and then be super tired!

i am 22 wks i feel little bubbles but not kicks? hope i do soon!, and my belly button hasnt poped yet, does everyones?

I started buying things right away..just so i could be prepared. But i would say that now is a good time to get started=]

I am 5'8 and was really, really in shape before. I'm 22 weeks and not really showing yet either, unless you know me it just looks like I've put on 10 pounds. The size 4s don't fit anymore, but (some of) the 6's still do. The Dr. says my long-ish torso and strong abs will keep me from showing much at all until 24-26 weeks...

iam worry about my baby has not move for like 4 days

Deborah: im in your same position, im 22 weeks and 150 and im not showing at alllll!!! its ridiculous hahaa but my doc said SOON!

I'm sure thebump.com is talking for the "average hieght woman" in the united states which is 5'3". Since I'm 5' I've experienced all of these symptons, so if your taller, be happy your not huffing and puffing and that there is alot of room in your belly still. Because heartburn, not being able to breathe, back pain and a stretching stomach is hard all at once.

I am just about 22 weeks and I only recently started feeling kicks/movement. They really do feel like little twitches or gas bubbles so they may be overlooked. I feel them at some point everyday but if I am busy or have my mind completely elsewhere I could see missing it completely. Baby sleeps 12-14 hours a day! They dont have much time to move around!

I am 22 weeks and everyone has been telling me that I don't look like I am pregnant because my belly isn't getting very big. My doctor told me that since I have a long torso, the baby has more room to grow vertically instead of horizontally. I can't wait till I start to show more!

I've purchased the crib already and a few little things here and there but definitely waiting until after my two baby showers to break out the real bills! As far as showing, I have a big round bump, that's the only place I've gotten bigger. I have gone up a full cup size but other than that, I'm right on schedule, according to my doc. My belly button is also about half out, I'd say. It's cute, I love it! Giving birth in the summer time is going to be brutal! I'm going to be a beluga whale by the time it hits 80 here...so not looking forward to that. but cannot wait to meet my baby boy!!

I'm 22 weeks n I still have not brought anything . I'm waiting for my baby shower to then know what i have to buy. This way i won't end up buying doubles

I'm 22 weeks and havn't bought a thing-trying to wai til after my babyshower....I did see a really cute crib set that I want to order.

I am almost 22 weeks and my belly is so tight! I feel like there isn't going to be enough skin to stretch any farther!! I just started to feel him kick like a week ago. Not strong enough for other people to feel though.

We just started our baby's room now that we found out it is a girl (I highly recommend 3D ultrasounds)! We have a ton of work to do in there though, new windows, molding, paint, carpet, everything1 We had to start now! We have our crib, bedding, and travel system and lots of clothes already (people can't resist buying us little girly outfits) As far as my belly, u can definitely tell I preggo, but she sits so low right in my pelivis, my belly button hasn't popped yet, but I suspect it will in a few more weeks and I have no problem breathing yet since I'm carrying so low. She moves like crazy though, I don't think she sleeps 12-14 hours a day. Sometimes she kicks so hard I see my stomach move and it feels like she's tearing up my insides, very strong little girl1

im 22 weeks and barely showing, my baby is even higher in weight then most babies so youd think id be bigger but im not im only 5'7 though and i started out weighing 125 ive gained 6 pounds but idk where it is besides my breast. and my belly button is no where near popping out i can still put my finger in it. i think everyone is different i am younger then most mommies being 17 but my mom said she didnt start showing with my little brother until she was 7 months and that was her third kid.

I am 24 weeks and have the nursery set up (for the most part!!) This is my first baby so, naturally I am excited. BUT last year one of my friends had a baby and was still setting up the nursery the week before he was born...I think this is a good time because it's before you get TOO big to function like normal =)

Should I be concerned that a haven't felt any kick? Just 'flutters' and 'bubbles' still but nothing like a hard kick???

i got stuff when i was just 12 weeks prego.

i am 22 weeks and all i want to eat is pickles and ranch..... My boyfriend says that its wierd and nasty but i love it... I have also been craving popcorn from the movie theater not in the store but from the actuall movies

I am 22 weeks and my son has more clothes than me already, but I have nothing it terms of the nursery yet.

I'm 22 weeks and I have some stuff bought, but nothing is set up

I'm 22 weeks today, we have mostly everything ready, but it's all still in boxes since we're moving cross-country before the baby is born! I'm 5'2, I look the same too (pre-pregnancy body), but I am starting to lose my belly button. Everyone grows differently, keep in mind! The only changes thus far is I was 105 lbs, now I'm 120 :P Fat baby.

I'm 22 weeks and I haven't bought anything yet, I was told by numerous people to wait until after my shower to buy anything. murchury15- That's totally normal. It'll happen when you sneeze or laugh too, best thing to do to avoid it is pee as soon as you think you have to. :)

HeatherJP....I had the same with my first pregnancy, a boy, unfortunately I had all day morning sickness all but 1 month, wasn't the same with my second and so far it's been okay with my third

Hello there i am also 22 weeks prego and found out we are having a boy after 3 girls LOL we are all so excited . Just letting everyone know if you get pains at all while getting up sitting down moving around it is normal since your belly needs to stretch for the baby and don't get all up tight if this is your first pregnancy and can't feel baby move it is harder to feel when it is your first child for some women anyway's . This pregnancy for me has been a roller coaster since at time i have been bleeding on and off but my Doctor has followed up and me and baby look good so don't get panicked if you spot a little here and there also some cervix just bleed for no reason or your cervix also just can be very tender and stretching for baby if there is a lot of bleeding and dont stop that could be your cervix thinning out and there is also a stitch they can put in your cervix if they get it on time just thought i would be nice and if everyone has worries about thing's that this might help a little ty so much for your time Kristy . I hope all of the new expected mom's and mom's to be a very happy safe pregnancy and delivery on your new bundles of joy :) :).

Lots of kicking going on =)

what are the basic things i would need for my new born? im 22 weeks

We bought ours last weekend and will probably pick up in a couple weeks. I'd like the nursery complete by mid-August that way I can organize as things come in.

I don't have one single item for this baby. I hope someone steps up and can have a baby shower for me.

I am about average height (5'3") but was in pretty good shape pre pregnancy, so my doc said since I had good ab muscles before I will take longer to show. It currently just looks like I gained some weight, to me anyway. So it's not necessarily about your height but I guess what kind of shape you were in before and genetics play a big role also. None of the women on my side of the family got big while pregnant. Good luck to everyone

i still haven't felt my baby move should i worry

Is it safe to put twin in the same crib when they first come home?

to ( Debzmsb) you should go to (whattoexpect.com)... they give way more information on you and the baby! i have the book and i go to the sight....you can type in anything to ask them and they will find other people like you and that have the same problem and explain what might be happing...! =)

I'm 22 weeks and started buying stuff at 18 weeks roughly. Having such a great time getting everything for our little man!!!

it my first, and im 22 weeks, and i dont have anything yet, but im not worried it feels like plenty of time,and it can be all bought in a week too.

I just ordered mine and I am 22 1/2 weeks

Im about 22 weeks and ive started to buy but alot is on my registry so im planning to set up just after my baby shower. Hope this helps :)

I am 22 weeks and a day and we have quite a bit of things already. I just made sure the stuff we did get... isn't on our registries. Someone was speaking of abdominal pain awhile up and I was having the same thing... I'monly 5'2.5 and about 100lbs before pregnant.. so I'm pretty small. Since my stomach or uterus has never stretched out before the doc said it's round ligament stretching. When I went to the doc they did a crap load of tests and the baby and I were fine. Tylenol and a heating pad was the prescription!

For those who asked for advice, my one thing that I could not live without with my first is cloth diapers-not to use for diapers, but I had a boy and everytime I changed the diaper, he peed, so it was a good cover for him. Also, my sister-in-law had a really urpy baby and I had given her everything I had and it was really helpful for her too. They are cheap, washable, and really absorb stuff. For the 16yo, my girl right now is kicking down and that is definately uncomfortable. If your bladder is full and your baby is hitting down, then you could definately end up leaking a bit. If you feel this is a problem, or are concerned about the pain, talk to your doctor about it. Everyone and every pregnancy is different! For the girl who hasn't felt the baby kick in 4 days, it could be that the baby had moved and you just aren't feeling it, or it could be something serious. Call your doctor. That way you can go in and have your doctor put on your belly the heart sound machine just to hear the heartbeat. That will definately make you feel better.

If you haven't felt the baby move I wouldn't worry, you can always check with your doctor. I have an anterior placenta which delayed me feeling the movement and now its a lot of flutters and such but no actual kicking that I can tell.

im going to buy nursery items in the next few weeks, im so excited about it too!

im 22 weeks right now too but i havent gotten started i need to get into gear.

I just bought the crib and dresser, I figured it's better to set it up now then wait until you are 30+ weeks. Plus, it's good to be prepared, what if baby comes a bit early?

Quick question. This is my second pregnancy, everything was fine with my first, normal pains and aches. But I have a pain in my left side about five inches away from my belly button. Is this normal? Or should I go see my doctor? I hate calling when its something 'silly' like a gas pain that hasn't moved because I don't want to waste their time. It's a sharp pain that just hits randomly throughout the day. The only time it feels better is when I'm sitting or laying down. Any advice helps. Thanks.

I'm 22 weeks and my stomach has definitely popped as has my belly button! Im having a girl and boy does she kick like crazy these days. Its definitely not bubbles for me lol, its full blow kicks. Her personality seems funny already. So excited! I can't wait to meet her. hubby and i are thinking of starting to purchase items within the month!

I am 21 weeks and getting big! This is my second child- with my first I was like a lot of you and wanted to know when I would get my "bump". Enjoy it while you can- soon you will be huge and winded and won't be able to find a comfortable sleep position! :) But its all worth it!

I'm 22 weeks and 5'7'' and once upon a time was about 125lbs. I'm starting to get a good bit of a belly in my head but according to other folks there still isn't much there. I think I have kicks but it's more like bubbles and not like butterflies or kicks like people have described. I'm ready to buy all kinds of things for my little girl but my husband keeps trying to get me to slow down...this is all a bit crazy and would just be nice to know that one thing is normal.

I am 22 weeks preganant and we found out last weeks we're having a girl! My husband and I are super excited as this is our first baby! She is kicking up a storm, last night I could see her kicking through my clothes! She must be a strong little girl practing Karate or something in there! We haven't bough anything yet because we're waiting until after our baby showers to see what else we need to buy.

Im 22 weeks today and Ive been buying clothes (not anything crazy) roughly around 19 weeks. But I havent bought anything Newborn and not many 0-3 just because Im sure Ill get enough by presents and not to mention the baby grows pretty fast. I know I should wait for the shower but I figured they were items on sale and it was things that I liked in my style so might as well. Only other big item Ive boughten was the crib and Im beyond excited. I just wish my hubby was here and not on his deployment to enjoy it all with me.

I'm 22 weeks today. Just found out we are having boy and we're SO excited!! I am definitely showing, gained 14 lbs so far (in addition to gaining the 7 back I lost from m/s), and I keep telling my husband how weird it is to see to the bottom of my belly button. Usually it's a black hole... Finally started feeling kicks this past week too. I think for the first time I actually feel pregnant and am in touch with my baby and body. Haven't bought any baby stuff yet, though we did get some onesies and outfits for xmas presents. Don't have the first clue what to put on the registry or what brands/styles of cribs, strollers, etc to buy. I'm sure it will all come together in the end.

I waited too long last time. I would say do it now while you still feel good. I am 23 weeks and having twins and I am trying to get my husband motivated!

any one else with crazy Braxton Hicks contractions? I had them all the time from my first trimester on during my last pregnancy-not so frequent with this one but they are so much more intense. it doesn't seem to matter if I am well hydrated or not-totally unpredictable, much more uncomfortable than any I have experienced before. Guess it's just one of those changes with subsequent pregnancies-hopefully my uterus practicing for a quick labor!

Im 22 weeks and havent bought anything yet I was told very early by nurse that i was gonna have a girl but i dont know why i have doubts so i dont dare to do buy anything yet. I have to make US from half of pregnancy after that i will start to buy things when i feel much secure about what im having. Im still same way,using most of my jeans, the only thing is my little belly dont let me close them. Still with some symptoms from ms and they drive me crazy each day. Side of that i dont look pregnant at all.

Ready to get the Baby Nursery Going

hello! im 22 weeks pregnant and its my first baby boy ! and i know we are naming him Emmanuel but we are struggling for his second name. i would love if anyone has any names in mind that could help. thanks

I am so excited, I found out I am having a little girl, and I already have her name picked out. I have started buying some clothes, and by next month, I will pretty much have the rest of everything that I need for her.

Everyone who isn't showing yet, ENJOY IT!! With my first pregnncy I didn't look prenant until around 25-26 weeks, just looked like I gained 10 pounds. This time I popped right around 21 weeks and I am already uncomfortable! Enjoy just being pregnant and only having to take care of you and no being pregnant and taking care of a 1 year old!! I wish I had enjoyed it more the first time instead of wishing it all away! :)

Hey bumpies, We are almost done with our nursery, waiting on the carpet to be installed! Im buying the crib this week, and the bedding in 2 weeks. After that we're going to have the showers (im 22 weeks now) and then see what we have left to buy after the showers. We went ahead and started buying 1 pack of diapers a week too, in all different sizes so we're set! good luck mommies!

I am 22 weeks, im having a baby girl, and its my 1st preg. My belly isnt showing, my belly button is the same as its always been, and the kicks happen around the same time every night between 8 o-clock and 9 o-clock, and the kicks are strong enough so daddy can feel them. Also during the ultra sound the doc would saying im looking for a right hand and pop there it was and then she asked for a foot and pop theres a foot, its like my baby girl understood everything the doc was sating. And to top it off ive never had morning sickness, or the weird cravings. Does my preg sound normal?

Debz and Skobaby, I have had the same problem. I didn't look pregnant at all for a while! Overnight, my belly seemed to grow a little and now you can tell its there. However, I still don't look 22 weeks pregnant. My dr tells me to be thankful I'm not huge yet =)

I'm 22 weeks and my tummy is very noticiable...please keep in mind that everyone is different. This is my third pregnancy and they say that the more babies you have the faster you show with each one which is soo true for me. So for any of you out there on your first pregnancy I wouldnt be alarmed it will show soon. With my first I didnt start showing until I was like 6 months. I started to feel this baby move when I was at about 16 weeks now at 22 weeks the kicks are VERY strong that I can see the kicks by just looking at my stomach...he's already kicking up in the ribs which is very uncomfortable. :)

Is anyone having issues with their backs hurting? It's not everyday...kind of feels like a low tugging?

Best ways to prevent stretch marks??? I feel like I'm stretched to the max?

tashatom12 Not everyones belly buttons pop out

My baby girl is stubborn she kicks and kicks whenever she is hungry or believes I should eat! It feels a little like waves for me. I figured it out by playing with her and poking my belly and waiting for her to kick back. My hubby and I are bought like 3-4 cute girly out fits when we found out and the crib and rocking chair!

murchury15- I had my first at 16 too(Now I am on number 8 at 31, my husband is an arab and they all have crazy huge families) I totally understand about the mom thing, my mom was not always so helpful either the first time I got pregnant.. :( The bladder control gets less and less as you progress and the baby kicking in the right spot can sometimes do it, along with laughing hard and sneezing... LOL all the joys of being pregnant. As far as the pain when the baby moves that can be normal as well depending on how the baby is laying and what he or she is kicking. If the pain is extreme or crampy you should call your doctor. Good luck!!

Hey girls I am 22 wks this is my first, I feel huge but I don't look bad since I am tall almost 5'10" somedays I think people think I am just fat but somedays I look preggo, I have his room furniture and the travel system just waiting on my showers for the other stuff

i am 5.1 ish and started at 110. I am showing a little bit, but still looks like a smaller belly that most people around me. Dr said it is normal, that everybody carries differently and that I am very healthy and everything measures normal, so try not to worry. I did a lot of research already on baby stuff, since this is our first, and I want to know what you actually need and what I then want for our baby boy, because there is so much out there!

If this is your first and you are having a shower, I would wait until after that so you do not end up with duplicates.

Everyones body shows pregnancy differently, some people dont really even show at all even when full term, it just depends on the position of the baby and everything else. As for nurery stuff we just put a 5 piece set on laway, it was a really good deal I recommend it for anyone, it comes with matching convertable crib, changing table, dresser, hamper and the toddler bed rail all for 299!! My husband cant wait for anything so we already have the stroller/carrier and even the highchair set up and ready to go. I say just get stuff when you feel comfortable getting it getting it sooner will give you one less thing to worry about :)

My ultrasound on 3/8/11 said I wasnt 19 weeks and 5 days but 21 weeks. The baby was 14oz, is that too big? My hands also have tremors. Any opinions??

My hunny and I bought our pack n play, swing, and bouncer.. next the crib, changing table, and dresser.. after that we're waiting for the shower! i hear in the 2nd trimester you have more energy than the 3rd so plan accordingly! :)

i am 23 weeks. WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!!!! we have everything - to the crib, dresser, changing table, Glider. we're just buying cute clothes here and there, waiting for our 2 baby showers to see what we get! so EXCITED!!!! :D

My little girl kicks me in the bladder and stomach all the time. Her movement can cause bladder leaking, or nausea, depending on what she hits. As fun as it is to feel the baby moving, sometimes it is a bit uncomfotable. Don't stress if these occur. But do let your doctor know at your next visit.

When should I have my prego pictures taken? I am currently at 23 weeks.

I'm 22 weeks and just started planning stuff for the nursery! It is our first baby and we are so excited! So much to think about! As for the baby bump, I feel as though I popped out overnight and really started to "look pregnant" and not just like I ate too much pizza the night before! I think every persons body is different and it's gonna do what it's gonna do!

this says the baby sleeps 12-14 hours a day, my daughter is up all the time, espeacially at night, im lucky if she sleeps 6 hours a day... this is my first baby and it only figures that she would be an active one

I bought everything at about 14 weeks which is a bit early, but I am impatient =)

Im 23 weeks and I think my son is going to be a NINJA,hes kicking like crazy!

I will be 22 weeks in 2 days and I painted the room prior to getting pregnant as I did not want to paint while I was pregnant. I bought the crib and change table at 8 weeks along and the rocker and stroller/car seat combo at 12 weeks. We have stocked up on diapers and wipes (when they go one sale) and I have more recently boughten my swing, high chair and play pen. We are ordering the bedding tonight and we have ordered wall decor and a pink blind for her bedroom to be delivered tomorrow. My shower is planned for 7 weeks from now and my registry has more essentials (shampoo, diapers, nursing blankets, wipes, bum cream, and all the basics) I haven't asked for anything really expensive. I am a planner and have to have everything in order WAY early... I just can't handle the stress of worrying about it!

Our nursery is complete. I am 22 weeks and having twin girls. Just preparing in case they come early or I get put on bed rest. Trying to get as much done now as I can - the things that will be hard to do once they arrive. As far as kicking - I am feeling them all throughout the day - but it feels like bubbles or tiny flutters. Sometimes I get side cramps, too, but I know that is my uterus growing. I try to stay hydrated and rest when I can!

Im in my second pregnanc with a girl and I started showing at 4onths.. with my son well I was 7 months when everyone actually saw thy belly. I'm 5ft and this pregnancy is different all thy way..

When should I be showing I'm almost 23 weeks and still am not showing any belly at all and have only gained 7 lbs and I will give birth in July due to his condition.

im 22 weeks.. and i still really dont feel any movement.. soooooo dissappointed.. my placenta is anterior so i know that makes it harder to feel things..

I haven't bought any baby stuff either. I was planning on getting my older daughter her big girl bed and using her nursery furniture for the baby.

I am 22 weeks and I sarted showing as soon as I found out I was pregnant. And none of my pants fit either, I had to go out and buy maternity jeans. I've already started my registry and I put the nursery on there but I don't know if my husband and I should just go ahead and buy it??? I just don't know what I should go ahead and buy and what I shouldn't.

for those who mentioned not showing yet... My sister didn't show with her kids (she's had 4) until like her 7th or 8th month. I've been in maternity pants since about 17 weeks or so. Before that, I was doing the ol' rubberband around the button to keep them closed. We're the same height, she's a *little* heavier than me, but not much (I'm no skinny minny & she's not a heavyweight person either).

Debzmsb I also had terrible morning sickness that lasted 20 weeks. I was on medication too, but when I weened myself off I started actually feeling better maybe I was too dependent on it and my body didn't adjust naturally or... it was just perfect timing.

I'm 22 weeks and definitely look pregnant. I have gained approx 11 lbs so far and my doc says I'm right on track. My belly button hasn't popped out at all so I am thinking it's not going to. I've been having some serious heartburn but tums seem to help. I started my registry and ordered the nursery furniture. I hope to continue feeling this good in the weeks ahead! Half way there now whoohoo! :)

Last week, my belly pretty much "popped" overnight. I didn't start looking pregnant at all until I was 22 weeks! Hang in there, it will happen soon. You won't be able to wear your clothes anymore soon enough!

This is our 5th baby (4th boy) so I really don't have to buy anything but I have bought him a couple of outfits! My bellybutton is almost gone but I always get big really fast! *Murchury-the pee thing happens lol try to do kegals often it could help. And I hope you find the support you need (hopefully mom will come around)

people taking this too literally. I def show and JUST started feel her move. In fact I saw her move last night. my hand was on my belly and it got pushed up! so cool.

I'll be 22 weeks in a few days. So far I've purchased a bassinet, crib, dresser, and changing table. I got the furniture at Walmart.com in a bundle package for a good deal. We have several clothes from people that have handed them down. I've also bought a few things like pacifiers, bibs, etc. I've gained about 11 pounds and look really pregnant. I'm 5'5" and weighed 158 pre-pregnancy.

I would look at cribs and dressers right now. I have found that in all specialty stores and some chains that they have to order the furniture. Remember, most of the furniture is not made in the U.S, it is made in Asia. The stores make the order and the factories do not make the furniture until there is a large bulk. Then the furniture is put on a ship and sent to the U.S. It will take 8 to 12 weeks after you order. So get on it girls! Good luck!

22 weeks and feel the baby kick mostly at night, starts around 9:30pm and ends around 1:30 -2:30am. My belly button is almost flat, only the tip of my pinky fits. This is my third child, with my first one I didn't show until my 7th month, I was 5'3 and 115lbs. My second and third pregnancy I showed about the 4th month. And each baby has had their own kick pattern, baby #1 I didn't feel kicking until month 6, with baby #2 & #3 i felt sooner. I didn't start buying stuff for all my babies until I found out the sex, we purchased swing,bouncer, all the major stuff. So when the baby shower came I got double of things i would really need, it worked out great.

I wouldn't buy much until after the shower

My first pregnancy was last year with my daughter and I didn't start showing until the middle of my 6th month and I'm 5'9". My mom is 5'8" and didn't show with my brother 35 years ago until her 7th month and then she ballooned. I am on 22 weeks with my second little girl and I started showing way early. What we need to remember is everybody's pregnancy is different and just because somebody shows at three months or their 7th month doesn't mean that your pregnancy isn't going bad. As long as you are doing what you need for you and baby then everything should be OK. As for the nursery, I started way early with my daughter last year and that was only because I already knew what I wanted her room to be and I knew it was a girl before seeing the ultrasound. This time I thought it would be a boy, but I was wrong, but we have a theme already and can't really set up her nursery as my daughter and I live with my parents here in New Mexico while my husband is in Iraq and I can finish my Master's Degree and not work. Good Luck to everybody!!

Im 22 weeks pregnant with my first baby boy. I am not showing at all. I am just wondering when I am going to actually start having a belly. The thing is though is that I have the all day nausea and i vomit at least once a day. It was a lot worse in the 1st trimester but I just wish the vomiting would go away. I ended up losing 15 lbs in the 1st trimester because of it. Is anybody having the same problems as me?

I live in NC and we are going to Florida for a week in June. I have never vacationed while pregnant and would like to know what are some of the best tips for being in the intense heat while pregnant. I am just over 22 weeks now. We are taking our 4 yr old to Disney for 3 days of the 7 we are in Florida. Advice???

I couldn't resist. I already have my nursery set up. We bought little things here and there. We have all the essentials for the nursery but no decorations or anything like that just yet. I am 21 and 1/2 weeks pregnant. I just wanted to feel a little more prepared somehow (if that's even possible!). Congrats! My best advise to you is to set up the nursery when you feel ready to. Wether it's a one day or one weekend event for you or a prolonged process like mine is. See how you feel about it and go with what feels right.

I'm 5'4'' and started out at 110lbs. At 22wks my belly is very tight and my belly button is so stretched it's actually tender. However, I have a very short torso, so I assume that's why my belly is bigger than some. Baby girl has had very little room to grow. I've gained about 15 lbs, which the doctor says is fine but I'm starting to worry that it may have been too much too early.

Need some advice about manual breast pumps. I was wondering whats the best brand to go with??

I'm 22 weeks with twins, feel HUGE!! belly button is about to pop out. i'm 5'6" and weighed about 130 pounds before i got pregnant. i have been able to feel their kicks for about 2 weeks and just this past week, i could feel them from the outside. of course, twins are different, but in good time. oh and i just started feeling winded this past weekend.

I am a first timer at 22 weeks and a day today and my belly button has been popped for weeks now! lol, I started feeling movement at 15 1/2 weeks and the bump is defiantly growing! I am 5'8 and originally about 150 lbs.- I've gained about 12 lbs. so far. I think everyone's body's are different, so you can't really compare another pregnancies progress to your own! I've been sooo exhausted and drained between the heat and the pregnancy lately blah! ohhhh and did I mention hungry hungry hungry!

@Debzmsb; Every woman is different...just MOST women have popped out already. I can sympathize with you (I'm just now starting to bulge a little at 22 weeks at 5'2" and no belly button popping either) I had a peanut shaped tummy with my first boy. When I was due I looked more like 6 months pregnant. Never lost my waist, never gained any weight, and never got stretchmarks either. It's turning out to be the same with my second boy so far. I hope you pick and chose what you take away from this site for useful information. And good luck!

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and although I feel my little one all the time I dont look pregnant lol. I think it will just happen overnight :)

HeatherJP: Unfortunately morning sickness is different for every woman and every pregnancy. With my son, I had morning sickness at least 5 times a week until 2 days before I went into labor! Now I'm pregnant with my daughter and I still have morning sickness at 22 weeks, but it has started to slow down. I would just talk to your doctor about it. If they aren't concerned, then I wouldn't be either. It's just one of those "wonderful" sacrifices we make to bring life into the world!

I am 22 weeks and just was asked if I am having twins! Reading your posts are making me feel way to big but my doctor says I am fine.

I started feelng my little man at 16 weeks, now at 22 weeks full on zumba marathon. His favourite move? Kicking my bladder haha. As for the nursery have bought clothes, a dresser, etc but need to relocate housing (we live with 3 other people) and then find well priced furniture. Very frustrating not being prepared as of yet

This week, we are going to start on the babies room. I have to find the right paint for the theme we have picked. We are also replacing flooring because we had cats and the room stinks and the carpet is stained.I want to get all this done before I dont want to do anything anymore! Getting excited!

dont feel bad angel i have nothing for my little man yet either and i am 22 weeks prego. its driving me nuts!

I am 22 weeks as of yesterday and I have already even had my shower... I did have my shower a little early but i am hopefully getting my own place with my husband soon. which will be great because me and my husband are living out of a bedroom that we cant even fit in. so I cant wait to hopefully get this place and begin starting the nursery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am so sad. I have gain about 20 lbs. and am so stress about my gained weight.

I am 22 weeks and look like I am 30, my belly is huge, and hard, I should post a pic...I am 5'1". I just bought 3 outfits for baby, otherwise nothing, this is my 4th baby, and have a crib etc for the little guy! =)

I HAVE NOT BOUGHT ANYTHING AND I'M 22 WEEKS AND I'M HAVING A BABY SHOWER LIKE 3 WEEKS BEFORE BABY GETS HERE. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT'S ENOUGH TIME TO GET EVERYTHING THAT I DON'T GET AT MY BABY SHOWER?

I am 22 weeks now and I am showing some. I am 5'4 and slightly overweight. Depending on what I wear it either looks like I'm pregnant or I have just put on some belly weight (for someone who is a little heavy I have NEVER had a belly. Its always been flat). Now my belly is starting to catch up with my hips and thighs (sad day). I have gotten some stretch marks now as well. I can feel my baby girl move on occasion. Sometimes more than others. I wish she would be a little more active! Sounds like she is already too much like her mommy and daddy, lol. I don't know how to judge whether or not my belly button is popping out. I don't typically pay too much attention to how deep it is normally, lol. I also have not bought anything yet or painted, although I am dying to! Baby stuff is rather pricey! Good thing this is the first grandchild on both sides, so we should have a lot taken care of for us!

I also want to add... I found out about this pregnancy while laying on the preop table about to get my tubes tied!!!! Lol

I'm 22 Weeks and I went tubing to the river i was exposed to the sun for about 3 hours. I placed SPF on my belly and face, i got somewhat burned, never felt sick, but im just worried since they say i was not suposed to be exposed to the sun.... :S

I am 22 wks with my 5th baby. Infact this will be my 5th c-section as well! I've gained only 1 pound. It looks like my nausea is going to last through out this entire pregnancy.Even though I've gained only a pound i swear my belly "popped out" overnight. However my belly button has never popped out with any of my babies.

I'm 22 weeks pregnant today and theres no way you can tell im pregnant. I just bought new work pants cause my belly is starting to come out very little. Everyone is shocked when i tell them im almost 6 months pregnant. I kinda like it though its just me and him and nobody is trying to touch me or anything. he moves for my husband so its kinda like our little secret still were just enjoying the time as the 3 of us

Even though there's 18 more weeks, I am soooooooooo ready to not be pregnant anymore already. I have hip pains already, and when I told my husband (who is traveling) that I was afraid he wouldn't want to have sex with me, he straight up said, nah, just not during baby time. But yeah, I'm "still attractive." Right....like I'm supposed to believe that when you just said you don't want to have sex with me while I'm pregnant. Get this girl outta me!!!

I am 22 weeks prego today and (sorry if people are not comfortable with this) I have not had a normal poop in close to 2 weeks... please any suggestions would be helpful!

im 22 weeks .how should i know when its a kick or like bubbles and is it normal for my belly button to not pop out yet

anyone thinking baby shower?i'm 22 weeks today so due in november is the end of september a good time?

I am 22 weeks today and already purchased nursery furniture and bedding and it is ready to be picked up!

I love it when you compare kid's size with various fruits and vegetables! It is a really nice idea. My wife has some headaches through that period but they are not intense. Thanks for the article here. Regards, Glen from cialis kopen

I am 22 weeks & real estate is definately expanding in my belly. Some people say I dont look that big yet but I sure do feel it...and with the number that appears on the scale....I've gained not just in my belly, but thighs & butt as well. My belly button hasn't popped out yet but within the last few days it's definetly changed. I feel my little boy occastionally but definately not consistently yet. Which does make me a little nervous but I"m sure it's normal.

murchury15? im also 16 and me and my boyfriend were playing around nd i accidentally hit myself in the stomach, the outside was sore for a little bit but i got over it and yes, it is normal to feel a little pain, espeacially when ur bladders full, but it shouldnt be too much.

I'm 22 weeks and I look like I'm 8 months prego. This is my 2nd child and I cant believe how big I am. At this rate I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it another 4 months.....

I'm 22 weeks and my baby is kicking like crazy. I even feel the baby kicking near my cervix, which is scary since I have a shortened cervix and had the cerglage stitch at 17 weeks.

I've already started buying all the small things but I will buy the crib and travel system at 7 months I am 5 1/2 now

murchury15- if you would like to exchange emails i would be more than happy to talk back and forth! you definitely need support as a first time mom!

I just hit the 22 week mark and I wish I wasnt showing so much! Everybody is always trying to touch and poke my belly which is so odd to me!!! Super jealous of all the gals who can still wear pre-preggo jeans.. I swear it makes me cry some mornings when I can't fit into anything and look good!!!!

4 ange001, if this is your 1st baby i would want and see what you get from your baby shower.if this is not your 1st then i wouls start gettin like things after you find out what you are haveing. its so much fun. with my 1st son i had 2 wait and see what i got from my baby shower. with my son son i dont know if im haveing a babyshower n if not that fine beacuse i really dont have 2 get that much. i hope that this helped a little

My husband and I started shopping at 20wks. We're having a baby shower (or celebration), but this is our 2nd, so were leaving gifts optional for our guest.

i never uy anything early i start to shop about 30 weeks .,.. usually i give birth about 36-39 weeks with my babies.. this is my fifth. We have a older son who is 8 and then 3 girls 5,3,2 and finally another BOY... so im excited to buy but i dont wanna get ahead of myself

I'm 5'3 and weighed 130 pre-pregnancy... fast forward to 22 wks pregnat and I have put on 25lbs and it's very obvious that I am pregnant. Belly and all... Doc is ok with my weight gain and i'm working out 3 days a week. Everydoby carries different.

I'm 22 weeks and haven't bought a thing as well. Moving into a new home this weekend so probably won't get to start on the nursery thing for at least a couple weeks. Trying not to stress about it, since family/friends will be helping out at the baby shower :)

I'm 22 weeks today & I've picked out curtains, wall paint, crib skirt & mobile for nursery. The big stuff will be gifts from family (this is our 1st baby). We're (or should I say my husband) is re-finishing an antique dresser and my sister is giving me her changing table. :) I've been feeling him kick since week 19 and I have a medium bump (I'm thin, 5'5" and have a very small torso- so I guess that's probably why I'm growing so much!) I did have bad, all-day nausea from weeks 8-14. Thank God that subsided!

I live in Albany, NY and I was wondering if anyone who lives near me would know of any good pediatricians? If anyone could recommend any that would be great!

I've picked out almost everytign for the Nursery but i'm not moving into my new apartment unitl 2 months before my due date. So i cant buy anyhting yet, If i could i think i'd be done by now... 22 weeks!

I am 22 weeks and we went ahead and painted the nursery 2 weeks ago. That way we don't have to worry about it over the holidays. Plus we figured that the holidays would make time FLY by so better to do it early than be rushing. We are ordering furniture next week since free and reduced holiday shipping rates are starting.

I'm 22 weeks and am definitely looking pregnant. I had to get a larger wedding band and everything, but I have an underactive thyroid so I gain weight if I even look at food. I do have an active little girl though, she's been kicking a bit since 15 weeks and starting last week I definitely figured out her schedule of when shes going to kick and roll around. She only kicks in one spot which can get a bit painful, but it's really reassuring. Pretty much her entire nursery is done, we're just waiting on the crib and I have a few bits to finish on her mural. I just wanted to get it all done so I could relax around the holidays.

I am 22 weeks today, and haven't really felt any noticable kicks besides flutters here and there. I have an anterior placenta so they did say it would take a little longer than normal to feel movements. I'm still not really showing, but look like i'm getting chubby. It's so frustrating. I just want a definite shape of a bump, and feel her movements since I hear it's so special.

We bought nursery furniture 2 weeks ago and many of the items were out of stock and will take 12-16 weeks to get here so buy soon.

@ heatherjp - i'm also 22 weeks and i'm still on zofran and benadryl for the nausea and vomiting. i lost so much weight in the beginning that i'm not even back to my pre-prego weight. i've resigned myself to the fact that i'm just going to puke thru the rest of the pregnancy. i've also started eating whatever i want (within reason) and if it comes back up it comes back up. ever since i changed my mindset i'm feeling much better, emotionally. i figure it's only temporary, my baby is very healthy and i'm more than half-way there, lol. hang in there!!

I have an extremely short torso, so I started showing at 10 weeks or so. If I lay a certain way my belly button starts to pop out a little. Good luck!
