So there seems to be controversy on when the 3rd trimester starts, 27 or 28 weeks. I'm going to say 28 weeks, because I like 2nd trimester, and I'm dreading the 3rd. So this is my last week of the 2nd trimester. According to my pregnancy apps, Micah officially weighs 2 pounds (even though I was told by my doctors office almost 2 weeks ago that he was already 2 pounds) and he is about 14 1/2 inches long. He's sleeping and waking up at regular intervals, and he opens and closes his little eyes now. He also might even be sucking his fingers now. Micah's brain is more active now, and even though his lungs are still immature, they could work if he was born now. He would just need a lot of medical help. He is also starting to get hiccups a lot.
This week he will be growing to be 14.8 inches long and about 2.25 pounds, about the size of a chinese cabbage. Is a chinese cabbage different then a regular cabbage? This is making me learn my fruits and vegetables more!
I've started having a lot of hip and back pain lately, and I feel like I can barely walk around now. If I walk more than like 5 minutes, I'm in pain. I knew this was going to happen eventually, because your body makes a hormone called relaxin that spreads out your hips so you can give birth, but since my body is already stretched and doesn't hold together very well from Ehlers-Danlos, it makes it harder on my body. That's why I'm not excited about the 3rd trimester. But only 3 and half more weeks until we find out a date for the c-section!
Only 91 more days until my due date!
