My gynae appt tmw... I also v scared of gestational diabetes.
Then a lot of things cannot eat n cannot drink coke liao. that's very tragic esp when CNY is coming. referred to baby centre... for me its 25wks this wk. So baby can only be between 660-700plus grams. Hope thats the case!
Cherise, Ya now baby moves a lot. I realise she likes to sit on the right of my tummy. Always feel her there. Or is it her legs kicking? haha.

JRT, y ur gynae says u put on too much weight?
u only got 8kg put on right?
i m 10.5kg lei. i ask gynae if i m putting on too much weight, he says e report is fine lei...cos he says last time i was underweight, tats y i put on this much. i actually read from book and internet tat if a pregnant women is underweight she wil gain abt 14-18kg during delivery. but if a women is normal weight, she wil gain abt 11-14kg. Overweight women wil gain mayb 8-11kg. something lidat la.

The postings are going so fast!
Meeting:
Where and when r u mummies meeting? Or have I missed that?
Night pee
I will wake up once, but I learnt nt to drink after nine, or just slip a little. Keeps to keep waking up. Usually no prob gg back to sleep, dunno if I nt light sleeper or baby still quite gentle
Weight gain
I put on 6 kg by 24 wks and my doc said I put on too much, shd b 2kg!!! But he did say it's still within reasonable range. I was normal wt before preggy
Leg cramps
Anyone experience cramps in the middle of the nt? I get it sometimes and the calf muscle will ache till next day even at work. Always happen to my left legg only.
Blood sugar
Higher risk of gestational diabetes if family member has it. Mine too. Just watch it before the urine test, dun take too much sweet things. I had the st michaels puff for breakfast and my test was high. My sis had to cut down on milo cos also high sugar.

RE: calcium
i got no problem in passing motion.. maybe my body is used to the taking in of pills? hehhee..
RE: weight gain
think no need to worry too much.. glenlyn has mentioned some guidelines on weight gain, i have read this somewhere also.. even exceed, there is nothing much we can do la.. dont eat also jialet le.. so long eat healthy, dont eat junk food often, i think still can enjoy cny goodies
RE: nite pee
i also wake up at least once per nite to pee.. once i lay on bed, i can slp again.. so no problem for me.. but as usual, will be tired at nite maybe because i didnt have continuous slp?
RE: leg cramps
i havent experience this yet (choy!) just calf will be aching feeling so i will lift my legs on bolster when i lay on bed or sitting on sofa. not all women will encounter leg cramps.. in my last pregnancy, i only experienced less than 5times and these few times only occurred during my last tri..
RE: water retention
my gynae mentioned that some women will experience very early stage of pregnancy. some wldnt.. i had mine during the last month of pregnancy..
but dont mistaken growing fat as water retention la.. hehehe..
btw, GOOD MORNING MUMMIES!!

hello mummies,
happy CNY! hope it will be a good time of rest and catching up with family and frens for all of us.
re waking up at nites - i read somewhere dat it's nature's way of preparing the body for the nite feeds when the bb comes. the waking up at nites will worsen in the final mths
try not to drink water after 8pm to prevent the need to wake up to pee.

Yar... Although I'm used to it, but still it's a yucky feeling.. The acid tt i vomit is very yellowish... Yucks.. It never happen when I'm having #1... But still the puking of acid in 3rd tri doesnt applies to all... Maybe I'm the unlucky one. =(</font>.

grace, i think the reason for 'cant' eat so much kangkong is because its 'cooling'.. not so much on leg cramps..
porky, me no half day but i'm taking time off today..
feb_mum, after 8pm cant drink water? hehehe.. i think i will die.. because my dinner time is at 8pm..
xue, is it because u r hungry the moment u wake up? i puked yellow acidic thingy during my 1st tri because of hunger..

Afternoon mummies~~~~
Visit Dr Woody at 10am but he's not around at clinic, appt was supposed to be 10.30am. Think he got delivery this morning but lucky I saw him at around 10.35am, no. 4 in the q.
Baby is 24wks now and weighs 691g. Dr Woody told me not to worry about baby's weight or growth...said she's doing extremely well. Hehe. Cos think last time I told him me quite worried abt bb's growth and movement etc.
Reported that I had numbed hands and swollen feet for sometimes esp the former and he said it's water retention. Then prescribed me with some vit B pills. Said it's normal. *shrugs*
With regards to the loose stools, he said that's normal too. *shrugs shrugs* Everything also said normal.
Then I asked him abt my little weight gain, got "told" by him that that's okay. Cos I gained 2-2.5kg since day 1 of pregnancy. Think most weight gained comes from the water retention part. As long as baby is growing well so nothing to worry about. Not even on gestational diabetes. Yet to take the glucose test. Find that the procedure seems haywire abit, should have taken the glucose test before seeing doc (doc was not around in the morning when I reached too).
So, I cant walk or stand too long. Both feet will get tired and puffy very fast.
Had not experience cramps or peeing at night *touch wood*. However, I will still wake up at least once to ensure both feet are elevated on hubby's bolster and not kick them onto the floor. Hehe.

Hi mummies,
Came back from gynae and am glad safe from the gestational diabetes test. Gynae said she will test only if she comes across either of these factors:
1) strong family history
2) change in dipstick color
3) oversized baby
Baby Sarah is now 880g... she knows CNY. Give me lucky no. Gynae said based on percentile, baby will hit abt 3.2kg by the time i deliver. And she said that's the max it should grow or otherwise i mite haf problems "squeezing" it out as im petite... sigh. Otherwise gotta C-sect already leh. And she gave me a list of stuff to pack for hospital!!! Told me to be ready by 34wks. Other mummies she say 36wks. She thinks i got potential for April baby....hmmm...
Hospital tours
Have u all gone for the hosp tours? She said next mth gotta decide. Then she'll book. Seems so little time left...
