Pregnancy: Week 31

Getting closer and closer. Had my second non-stress test this week. This is to check the babies heart rates to make sure that they are healthy and getting enough oxygen. I had three contractions during the 40 minute test. The nurse midwife asked me if I was still working and I said yes. She asked me what I did and when I told her she told me I better go home and rest. The doctor explained that while I am only 31 weeks pregnant my uterus thinks there is only one in there and is stretched to full term so it starts to "practice" going into labor.

The babies now weigh as much as four navel oranges (so that would be 8 navel oranges in my belly). (Length: over 16 inches, head to heel.).
