during yr scanning, yr gynae/sonographer got scan placenta?? cos mine only focus on bb measurement and heart beat.
I did ask doc why I was still spotting until now and if it was bec of the low lying placenta. like sonographer, gynae mentioned that the placenta is still early to tell. hmm....like one of the mummies, her gynae told her that her bleeding/spotting was due to low lying placenta. another friend of mummy told her that low-lying placenta only can tell during third trimster. pondering wor.....

Went KKH checkup y'day. first antental visit check up at KKH so need registration. but service very prompt, maybe I'm ex-kkh patient. bec of registration, staff indicate wrongly on the form to go ADC (was told that she needed to go down to AMC (Antental monitoring centre) instead for her first trimster screening bec she is still under first trimster. the staff might indicate on the form wrongly. ai-yo, waste the time man..), bb not co-operate during scanning (the sonographer said that baby is in a curl position so it is hard to do the measurement. even sonographer tried to shake baby and asked me to cough a few times but baby still refuse to move. comfortable in sitting position man...then was asked to go outside and walk around and come back 15 mins later. Also told to drink more water to make the bladder full so that she dun need to press so hard on my bladder. ), I was late for 20mins but doc appt waiting time is less than 5 mins.
everything is ok. Had gained 1.9kg.
so this is normal weight gain as the following indicated:
Expected Weight Gain for Pregnancy (fm TMC book)
- 1st trimester (1wk ~13wk) 1-2kg
- 2nd trimester (14-26wks) 4-5kg
- 3rd trimester (27-40wks); 4-6kg
expected weight gain based on BMI
BMI less than 20 ---> 12-18kg
BMI 20-25 ---> 11-15kg BMI 25-30 ---> 6-11kg
BMI 30 or moew ---> 6-9kg
BMI = weight before pregnancy (kg)/ height(m) X height (m)
I did ask doc why I was still spotting until now and if it was bec of the low lying placenta. like sonographer, Dr Ong mentioned that the placenta is still early to tell. hmm....like one of the mummies, her gynae told her that her bleeding/spotting was due to low lying placenta. another friend of mummy told her that low-lying placenta only can tell during third trimster. pondering wor..... so I requested MC till this fri and Dr Ong told her that she had the power to give max 3 days of MC. hmm..just nice to cover till this week.
so far, everything is ok, baby's heart beat is still there. she had grown from 18.8mm (since wk 9) to 4.5cm (now Mummy is in her 11.4wk).Dr Ong gave obimin and duphaston.
hope,tought I'm still spotting but at least now it is brownish or yellowish color liao. hope, my spotting will go away.

oic. in fact, I also dun like milk. so did u drink any fresk milk then? or u lactose tolerance?? y'day, hubby bought the anmum at KKH. this morning, I tried once, hmm..not so chocolate taste loh but still got to finish it. heard that the adult fm will help to booast weight for bb loh.
re:bm supply. during the antental class, midwife did mention that no mummy will have low supply milk unless she dun work harder, no pump and latch on. bm supply is based on demand and supply. the more one latch/pump, the brain will tell the b to produce more milk. the supply will build up after 1 wk of delivery. of cos, first wk, must work hard to produce milk if not bm supply will always be low. in additional, one must eat more fish and red date to build up supply loh.
I got(borrow one) my breast pump after 5mth of delivery only.first 4mth, latch on and the fifth mth when I return to work, I pump using the slow like snail single pump.
re:nipple. gd news mah sticking out nipple cos if inverted then no gd.

oic. yup. what if both crying at the same time. cos I got a friend, very bsy attending to the 2 kids (2 yr apart). place no#1 to slp finally but then no#2 cry, no#`1 wake up again and vice versa. it took her sometimes to repeat and finish the slp routine.
I also dunno how ppls last time take care of their child - do re mi fa soh age grp type...so pei fu them. yup, just let natural take it course, haa when one saying when the time came, the bridge will sail smoothly. I also dun want to think much tough i have worries abt my no#1 cos she 's gg to pre-sch next yr then will cut down the time to spend on her esp when no#2 arrive.
oh, I still got till this weekend then I passed my first trimster.
re:antental class. yup, agreed. I went 2 mth before my due date. if go early, sure forgot cos our memory during preggie already worsen liao.

my sil's 14mth bb also dunno on to crawl yet. only just move her butt if she want to reach to other place.

my mil mentioned that cannot drink honey during preggie lah, she said might too powderful for bb. dunno what she mean. so better to drink more fluid (water).
for me, i borrow the breast pump last time only had the single pump (took 1 hr rto empty 2 b). so now, I bought my 2nd hand dual medela motor last 2 weeks liao. medela PIS very ex wor...hmm suction for avent duo more powerful, will it be painful during pumping?

yeah, my temp now always at 37.5 or 37.6 degree. last time, before preggie, my temp is always 36.9-37.1 that's why esp sar period, they tot I have fever, Always ask me to cool down and mearsure my temp again and again but still the same.

will apply the cream when I hit my 2nd trimster only. hmm me never heard elancyl before.where to buy? last time, i use a oily based stretchmark cream (in bottle not tube type) given by my frenz.

dun forget the time and the tiredness we gg to spend in return during bf time. it will take much effort, support, encourgament and preservance bf as long as one can. most of my frenz gave up bf (max one of them bf up to 6mth only) easily cos they find it's time consuming, office not so supportive(no plc to pump) and also tire.

for me, medela dual mini electric pump ok for me. no problem using it. at least, comparing to single pump, it is better. cos dual pump took me 20-25 mins to pump while single medela pump took me 1hr or more.
