Final belly comparison.

[gretchenindisguise]

I've been doing belly comparisons every now and then throughout this pregnancy.

With my first, I started my induction at 39w4 days. So I took a pic today to compare to my last belly pic with her.

(yes my ticker is off)

So here you go. First pregnancy in blue pants. 2nd pregnancy in pink top.

Your second pregnancy belly is shaped just like my second pregnancy belly. I wish I took more pics my first time for the comparisons.

Interesting! Do you know the sex of the second baby?

How long will your dr wait this time before inducing?

#2 is a boy.

#1 is a girl.

I actually took more my first pregnancy - this baby got the raw end of the deal. Poor second kid syndrome starts in utero.

I don't know - I assume 1 week. I have my 40 wk appointment tomorrow so I assume we'll discuss it then.

How neat to have comparative photos!

I wish I had done this. I have so few photos of me pregnant. I think I have 2 or 3 with DS1, a few more with DS2 because he was due after Christmas so I was very pregnant for the holidays.

You look great! Fingers crossed labor kicks off for you soon.

#2 is a boy.

#1 is a girl.

Ha! Opposite for me. 1 is a boy and 2 is a girl.

My belly looks a lot lower this time though. I guess because everything is already stretched out.

In the home stretch! Doesn't the last month feel like it has more days in it somehow? I'm only 36 + some weeks and already feel like I've been 9 months pregnant for ages.

Cute!!

I definitely think you can see more of a difference now than you can in some of your previous comparisons.

I'm glad I took a lot of pictures, unfortunately I didn't think to take many of just my bare belly without a shirt, so if we do go on to have #2 I'll only have shirted pictures to compare which maybe aren't as telling/easily comparable

Do some bare your last few weeks!

And yeah, I'm not sure what changed over the past 2-3 weeks, but my belly shape changed. I think he got lower a lot sooner than L did, so that may account for the difference.

yes - all of 3rd tri has felt that way. It's almost felt like I've been 3rd tri the whole time, then I go back and look at pics and think yeah, no - but it does feel that way.
