Erm, i'm pretty shocked by the stats given by my gynae. Not my weight gain, i was only 3kg since last appointment. I did eliminate most of my snackings through the day, so i'm quite satisfied with the figure on the scale. Nevertheless, i have gained 15kg and more to come.......
I was also quite nervous about my urine dip stick as my mum had gestational diabetes for both pregnancy. It turned out negative, phew.
Waited for 1.5hr for my turn! Luckily i spent half of the waiting time shopping around TMC.. haha! Anyway, gynae said got 'improvement' in my weight gain and now we have to take a look at baby's size. At 28w5d, baby should be around 1.3kg. I proceeded to the ultrasound scan area and waited for Ryker to appear. Dr Wong gave me an overview of the position. Two legs stretched straight to the right side of my womb, while his head and body were right under my left breast. And i found the reason why i kept having a sudden urge to pee when he made certain sudden movement. His bum was sitting right ON my bladder!! He must have found himself a nice cushion! ARgh! Oh, i realised he has become more meaty now!
Next, Dr Wong proceed to measure his tummy. First measurement showed 1.57++ kg, then she took a second one to make sure... it was still 1.56++kg. Couldn't believe our eyes, she took the last one which was the worst biggest measurement at 1.61++kg! My tummy don't look that big for such a big baby! Anyway, those figures belonged to a 30w5d old fetus. My dear son was 2 weeks in advance than what he is supposed to be. =S
His head circumference was also monitored at every scan since the fetal assessment. And today, he also had the size of a 30w5d old fetus! Really great news for my hub! He super happy! -_-" Both measurements were at 90th percentile of a 28w old baby. =x.... I panicked of course... coz he's going to come out from me not him! Sigh... Dr Wong consoled me...she told me that my frame can hold up to a 4kg baby by natural birth. Ermm.. i dun wan such a big baby leh...
Anyway, i started to ask if i had gestational diabetes since my baby so big. She decided to put me on OGTT test even though dip stick say negative. It will be done on this saturday. Sigh....
We've booked a single room with TMC and i'm asked to control my diet even stricter. BOOHOO! Only one ice cream per week! Oh, now i'm encouraged to walk more again! Diao!
Proof of my boy gaining fats.... Can u see the growing chubby cheeks? The extreme right picture was taken today.
