6-month Update


Everything is “boring” (i.e., good!) from my urine sample, blood pressure, belly size, and weight gain, to baby’s heart rate and kicking patterns (he likes to move!).

Here are some specifics for those who keep score at home:

  • Baby Heart rate: 148 bpm
  • Baby kicks: we’re definitely feeling them, and he even gave us a show so midwife, assistant, and daddy all got to see one together at the checkup today
  • Mama weight gain: 18 lbs (this is A-OK)
  • Mama belly size: 25 cm (within +/- 1-3 cm of your progress in weeks is what is considered healthy; 6 months = 24 weeks)
  • Mama blood pressure: I forget the number something around 120 over something around 70
  • Mama urine: I don’t know all the measures on the stick, but this time I got them all soaked (progress!) and she said they all looked “boring” and smiled :)
