Gynae Visit at 34 Weeks

So, how much our baby has grown in this 34 weeks? We went for checkup on the 20 Aug and our baby is now 2.4kg! She's getting heavier which is a plus point because I just want her to gain more weight... and scan is showing that she's 34 weeks 1 day! 1 extra day is a bonus point as well, if you refer to my previous post in our last checkup, she was 1 week behind and now, she's right on track again. Perhaps it's the measurement that affects all these. Anyway, the scan is just an estimation and do not believe too much in it, but believe in your own baby instead. =)

Well, every visit the doc will surely ask me this question "A lot of ppl say your tummy small ah".. As usual, my answer is YESSSSSS! I don't look like as if I'm giving birth next month, and most people said I looked like 6 mths pregnant. LOL. Anyway, the most important thing is that our baby is growing well inside and everything is so "Padat and berisi" inside. And I asked the doc this question, "So, what is inside those people that has big tummy?" He answered, "All fat, layers of fat!" Which makes me laugh... haha. At least, it will be much more easier for me to go back to the original weight/tummy size after delivery. Ain't it good? So, don't worry too much if you're in the same situation as me, as long as our baby inside is growing healthily and the measurement on the scan says it all ... =D

So, the next checkup will be on 36 weeks and then ... we will be meeting our doc every week, which means the time is near.................. wow, we've left with only 37 days! How fast time passed!
Hoorray!!

Ice Cream!!

I've missed the mommma bump for few weeks and thus, here's one at 32 weeks! I know I shouldn't be standing right in front of this Gelato Fruit shop, but I just couldn't resist. As in I really need a real cooling food badly in my mouth. If my colleagues saw this, they will definitely have no-comments cause they've warned me NOT TO TAKE ICE CREAM/COLD DRINKS DURING MY ENTIRE PREGNANCY. I find this a bit torturing, but for baby's good health, I've avoided them as much as I can.. only once a week if I really "have to". Hehehe....

Can you see my puffy meaty sausage fingers? Hehe...

We're now in the 33 weeks, 7 more weeks to due date and 4 more weeks to full term! Woowwww. =D

Our baby is a future gymnast!!

Whoaaaa...... I truly truly trulyyyyyyyyyyy loves it when our baby girl doing her somersaults and gymnastics inside! All these gymnastic movements are quite strong and actually pressed on my bladder which makes me sometimes cannot control my pee and almost leak out... but luckily I have strong muscles! Hehehe... Well, should have done more Kegel exercise. And I've started diligently on my Kegel exercise today... this morning I've accomplished 25 times of 5 seconds each. 75 more times to go before I complete the mission for the day. 100 times for everyday to strengthen the muscles so that during and after pregnancy, you will have strong urination muscles.

Our baby girl is such an awesome girl.... love it so much when she moves actively and well, she might be a future gymnast! I've been counting on our baby's movements as well and I've recognized her sleeping and waking up pattern. It's every quarter! She wakes up and moves actively at 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm and 9pm. Love it so much!! Our precious baby girl!! *loves* *loves* =))))))

Gynae Visit at 32 Weeks

We had a great checkup at 32 weeks on 6 Aug 2011. Unfortunately, our baby is measuring only 31 weeks 5 days when we were supposed to be in 32 weeks 2 days. This measurement was not BPD but the tummy's circumference. Am I eating not enuf, kinda sad when I saw that because all these while, our baby is 1 week ahead of actual date. Tummy looks small as well, but with the assurance from the gynae, our baby is growing right on track and her weight and size is average. My weight gain is perfect as well, only gained 9kg at 32 weeks which the gynae is happy about. Fluid content looks great too and all is well. Thank you Lord.

The next checkup will be on 20 Aug at 34 weeks. We have 8 more weeks to go till due date! =DDD

We finished our antenatal classes on 6 Aug as well and we've learnt really a lot.

So here are some of the summary on the breathing exercise during labour.
1) Not so pain contractions - Take deep breath, and blow out with a round cheek 3 times.. long duration.
2) Very pain contractions - Take deep breath, and blow out with a round cheek 3 times.. very fast!
3) Don't push - "like dog panting" Ha! Ha! Ha!

I think these are important.. hopefully I remember them when the real labour starts! Kekeke...

Oh Yeah... and heartburn is getting worst. Not fun at all when I keep on waking in the middle of the night due to the acid burning all the way up from stomach to throat. I've already avoided spicy food (which I love the most) and also oily food, but still terrible feeling. Dr Lee gave me a solution which is "Gaviscon Advance" but doesn't seem to help much. Anyway, few more weeks ... a lil bit more.... a lil bit more! To be precise... 8 more weeks to go! =DDDD
