baby is above average
VeerGuest ·
Hi!
I'm now 31 weeks pregnant with my third child, but with my second partner. The midwife noted that the baby is a week ahead, so my belly measures 32 weeks. Everyone keeps commenting: "Wow, you're growing fast" and "that's quite a belly!" I have to admit, it is a pretty big belly, but physically I'm not really carrying much weight elsewhere, and I'm not holding onto fluid either. Given my previous two pregnancies, I've always had a belly like this. It's quite heavy physically, and I get tired very quickly. I can't even walk a decent distance anymore, and I'm already panting when climbing stairs. I'm currently on sick leave due to severe fatigue, and my maternity leave starts in a month.
My due date is August 9th, but I'd still like to go on vacation for a few days (just across the border or something).
Does anyone have similar experiences???

Hi Veer, I have exactly the same story.
I was 2 weeks behind on growth and I’m also no stranger to HELLP syndrome. So I did want to go on holiday, but not without covering myself.
I went to all the hospitals along the route to get their phone numbers. Just in case something happened, and then we went to Denmark. I had a lovely 2 weeks of rest there and didn’t have any problems elsewhere.
Be careful with the sickness benefit. As far as I know, you can’t just go on holiday.
Good luck, Aniek
