Hi ms pi,
I understand what you mean. FYI, I only put on 1.5kg when I visited Dr. Ong for my triple test during my week 17!!!! And that was when he told me BB is 120gm and the first thing I asked was is that ok. He said average. I think there is a wide variance of average lor.
I am most likely to be expecting a Minnie and my EDD is 13 Oct. Like you, I have not decided on the hospital. Was thinking of gg for the tour first. While I like Mt E because of the good location, parking is an issue and I din have such a good impression/opinion of the nurses there. My SIL delivered on Boxing Day last year and I was there with her in early Jan to visit the lactation consultant. The consultant was nice but the nurses were so rude, curt and unbelievably unhelpful. 'Cos all we wanted to find out was if they can contact the consultant for us and she was already expecting us anyway. But the nurses just looked up and said very curtly 'we are v busy'. and just turned away to look at the files and ignored me.
Wah biang, how hard is it to page someone right? And that was not my only gripe, there were a few more. Hence, sigh... still cant decide.
My dear, dun worry so much OK 'cos I went thru the same thing. Believe it or not, I do have people NOT knowing that I am expecting despite I am 5months now 'cos I am that small. I have heard so many comments about my bump size - 95% commented small while why that 5% said VERY big. LOL. To begin with, already so lost liao. Then told bump is small by so many people, lagi more worried. Then I have 2 jokers who said VERY big. So, the comments vary so wide that I got even more confused. Now, I just refuse to listen to their comments. As long as my gynae said OK, then I believe should be OK.
My nephew was borned a bit underweight and now, 5 months later, he is over 7+ kg and looks like baby michelin! Hahahahahahahahahahaa...
So hor, really, dun pay too much attention to these people.
As for milk, if you really worry so much, then go ahead and take lor. There are other vitamins in the fortified milk powder - folate, magnesium, vit. b, etc. But I am taking the pre-natal vitamins from Dr. Ong as well as folic acid (5mg). So, I do believe that I am pretty well covered 'cos the prenatal vit consists of so many other things. Additionally, based on my triple test, I am borderline anaemic hence I am also taking 1 iron tab everyday. Heng that I have no issue swallowing tablets, otherwise, sure suffer.
