@Vinka, looks like your baby tiny size than mine. hahaha..... I am at week 27 now.... omg, almost entering my 3rd trimester. Think my bump quite obvious now and I found a lot of type of people. Some were kind, just give me seat once see me enter the train. Some were so so, looking me for a few stations then reluctantly stand up give me seat. Some just act blur, keep eyes closed, did not see me at all or busy playing with handphone.
I m now 26 weeks. My last appointment was closed to 25 weeks and my baby weight is 650g. Gynea said is a bit on the small size, which made me worry for a while. After reading your post, it seem to me that my baby weight is ok

Hello everyone. I am going for my next check up on Monday. Week 23 now and realized my tummy suddenly expanded over these 2 weeks. Skin is so tight. Wonder how much weight baby has put one.....
Any recommendations for baby shower and shampoo? Pigeon 2-in-1? Do I need to get baby lotion or powder if I'm doing cloth diapering?

Best not to apply powder on baby. Moisturizer is gd enuff, for bum i agree wit Narizah dont put if use cloth diaper. Unless rash or redness den use barrier cream...
I using Sudzy from amway cos its soap free, got many brands u can try. My kids have sensitive skin so no choice i chose soap-free. Tried mustela 2in1 before, too pricey .... Lol.

What I heard abt the glucose test, whatever u do, dont vomit a single thing out. Coz if u do, got to re do all over again and it can be yucky.
So far my gynae has yet to mention anything abt the glucose test. My next appt will be on the 7th feb and I'll be almost 31 weeks. And I reckon, with my age, cfm have to take the test. Not looking forward to it

@nazriah, I thought the glucose test cannot be done if you are over 31 weeks. Coz last time my gynae ask me to do glucose test earlier before I reach 29 weeks.

@isenggirl, try avoid to eat salty food e.g: potato chips, etc. Coz preggy have retention water, so must avoid all salty things.My feet swollen!!!
My gynae says usually no need to do glucose test because every appointment we pee on the pee stick if the levels are ok, then is ok. Unless 3 consecutive times our levels are not ok on the pee stick then he will order glucose test. However, for natural vaginal birth, dunno 30+ which week have to do a swap test to eliminate GBS..

I will have my glucose test on the 17 Feb cause I told the doctor I would want it before CNY if not, it will be very very high after all the CNY goodies.
Doctor told me because of diabetes history on my grandmum so it will be good to do the test to ensure that you are ok during pregnancy.

so good, no need to do glucose test. My gynae asked me to do it after asking if my family has diabetes, then I told my gynae that my grandma has one. sobs....... hopefully everything will be ok. I rarely eat sweets and do not like sweet, dunno how I will endure during the test though.....

My urine pee sticks are ok everytime i go for visits, so i guess its individual gynae peeference to do or not ba n plus dey look at our age. I googled online n it says that its a routine check in every pregnancies.

My Gynae also didn't ask me to do glucose test and my next appointment will be on next 2 months.

My SIL didnt have to do it for her previous pregnancies, but for her last one since she was 37, she had to do it. I read somewhere also that normally pregnant above 30 or 35 have to do the test. That's why I was kinda anticipated that I had to do also. And my late grandmother had diabetes as well, but so far gynae never ask before leh.
Just pray that I am those who no need to go for the test... I really cant tahan sweet stuffs especially drinks. Only ice cream is my indulgence for sweet stuffs.

I'm going for my glucose test tmrw! Hope I can pass it! The thot of not being able to drink water for a long 9 hours.. plus that yucky orange drink just irks me.. but gynae ordered the test cos said I'm over 35 yo, so no choice.. All the best to all mummies who need to go thru this test too!

Hey all. I took the glucose test at my 25th week. As my dad has diabetes, my gynae ordered one for me just for peace of mind. At kkh, it's not a concentrated orangey drink but a room-temp cup of sugar water. Not concentrated but not very diluted also. Didn't have a problem chugging down 3/4 of the cup. The last 1/4... was a challenge. So I cheated and put in tissue to absorb the rest hahahaha. Childish, I know. So anyway, everything's a-ok! Except that she's still concerned about my low placenta. I don't know what can be done to move the placenta up though....

The other day I had craving for mee goreng but forgot to say non-spicy..turns out to be really spicy! I was really hungry and ate it anyway, and had root beer to curb the spiciness. Oh my...the combi made my bb boy kick furiously for the 1st time lol
Since then, I've been eating mild stuff and he's not "protesting" like that time. but it was really funny to see him react like that! Lol

that's so cool. i tried eating thai food last week but got no such interesting response from baby.
instead my stomach grumbled. too spicy i guess and i had diarrhea. haha.
hahaha....that's so cute!!

I guess have to try and error! I've been curbing myself on spicy food since preggie, so maybe he really don't like. I read that bb will hiccup sometimes if they taste spicy stuff especially after week 21.
Oe maybe it was the root beer that made him very happy coz he always react when I drink soft drink / eat chocs or drink my Dumex milk.

Yes. Reach there, nurse draw blood then drink then wait for 2h then draw blood again. My gynae appt was same day so I got my results from her. And yes, she did the scan herself. She's been monitoring my placenta for a few visits already. Each time, she commented still low.

haha. very cute. guess he prefers sweet food. mine no reaction to food. only kicks when baby feels hungry i guess, stops when i start eating.
mine is low too. but was only known after the detailed scan. i guess i can ask my gynae my next visit to check if it's still low so i dont have to keep wondering until the growth scan in week 30.
Thanks.. i elevate my leg when sleeping ytd. This morning was much better but still not as comfortable. then afternoon my feet slightly swollen again

Like what mylilsheep says,avoid sodium. Drink more water to flush out the fluids in the tissues that causes water retention.
I had swollen feet for a day 2wks back. Then I drink much more than I used to and swim twice a week to help water retention. So far,(touch wood),it havent came back yet.
