May: To cut down sugar intake, U have to change from white rice to brown rice. And u have to cut down on fruit too. example: for grape, u can only take four. No durian, mango or any high sugar fruits.
U can get the list of food items from your gynae.
Oh ya, u can do some light walking after meal or go for aqua aerobics.

May, My urine test for every visit is also ok. But my dad got diabetes, so due to family history, my gynae still send me for the glucose test. Hee.. my gynae is well-known for zero-risk, so we just go along with his advise. He didnt mention anything about bb's stomach to us. But knowing his pattern, we know he will only highlight issue that he think is important to patients as he wants his patients to enjoy their pregnancy and not worry about every little small things. His pattern suit our style, cause we are not those who will ask alot of things. Most of the time, I just asked him if everything is in the normal range such as bb's weight, size etc.. he will assured yes, all good and well. And we rest our hearts.

May: Hmm actually there nothing to worry abt. u should be a happy mom instead of a worried mom.
Just remind yourself that try to go for more dish than rice. If u take bread, go for whole meal ones. As for longans, think is high in sugar level. Therefore, only can take three to four just like grape. And of cos, u shouldnt eat the cans type. And also drink more water instead of soft drink. Limited yourself on one can per day. and ice cream too. Limited yourself to once a week.
Since u patang, then no choice. Better don anyhow waste $$$. Once the little ones is out, there plenty of chance to drain your $$$ away.

May,
Your weight gain sounds reasonable to me. From a quick calculation, does it means that you only gain 2kg+ for the 1st 24 weeks?
I have been drinking alot of tea (which I know I shouldnt) and I cant help myself. I especially love cold sugarless tea like Oolong tea, Green tea etc. I know we are not suppose to drink too much tea coz it contains caffeine which inhibits the growth of our baby, resulting in low-weight baby. Any other side effect that I should be aware of other than low-weight baby.

Baby Jo: The cost of aminocentsis depends on the day of procedure. If everything went smoothly, the cost will be lower. Also, it depends on the gynae fee. The clinic would only give you an estimate on the fee and would be on a higher side.
When i called TMC previously for the cost of amnio test, they told me 1500 to 1700.
But, on the very day, as the whole procedure went smoothly, i paid slightly less than 1200.
Hope this helps.

May: Hi Five!!!!
Me too.. at my week 24, net gain is 2kg. overall from week 16 is 4kg.
But because I am an overweight person before preggie, I still try to control the type of food I eat.
for my bb size, my gynae said that my baby size is just nice. not too big nor small.
However, the past two weeks, my bump grow at a very fast speed. Someone asking me if i'm going to give birth soon. ah....
Still have two more weeks to my next gynae visit.

May n SnU: I also just had my wk24 chk up last wk. I put on 3kg+ n my baby is bigger than avg at 743g n his tummy is v big at 95th percentile. But nothing wrong with my urine dip. My doc asked me to ctrl my diet ie less carbs n sugars. I'm asked to do glucose test at my next appt. Now I try to restrict to 3 main meals. No durians, crisps n sugary stuff, feeling miserable, hb feels sorry for me too n tried to trade me 2 durians for dinner n offered an ice cream cone last nite but I resisted -_-" baby seems to be v active since chk up kicking every other hour...

My baby was 742g at 24 weeks. Dr Chua never say my baby is fat leh hahah. She was actually ok, until I asked her about my weight gain of 3Kg! Hahah
<font color="0077aa">Esther</font>
743g is bigger than average??
I'm really surprised! Haha, cos my gynae just ask me to control, she din say my baby is too big.

I was 48kg pre-pregnancy, now I'm 58kg. Last week, my gynae said 10kg total weight gain was a bit too fast at week 24. My baby was 800g at week 24 scan. I've decided to try to replace white with brown bread & rice. I've stopped eating McDonald's now too. No more French fries.
<font color="0000ff">Esther:</font> <font color="aa00aa">Me same as u.. My bb is abt 700g..Size and wt gynae say ok.. Only say bb tummy bigger than it shd be.. I duno bigger by how much thou.. Ask me to ctrl my diet for my wt gain and less sugar intake so as bb’s tummy will not grow too big.. There is nothing wrong with my urine dip too.. She oso nvr mention to me to tt I need to take the glucose test as well.. Think mine is still not tt serious bah.. But still feeling as miserable as u..</font>
<font color="0000ff">reineluv:</font> <font color="aa00aa">Since we seeing the same gynae.. If Dr Chua no say anythg abt bb.. Means bb growing proportionally and healthy lo.. Except yr wt gain too fast bah.. Mine she was telling me if bb tummy cont to grow bigger dan other parts. Scare natural delivery head come out but tummy stuck.. Can’t come out nor go back in.. Tt will be e worse scenario n risky.. Will have to opt for csec instead.. Just hope tt bb will be more proportion during next visit..</font>

May, actually I think I'm more sim Tia (miserable) that my baby's tummy so big cos of my lack of discipline, I just thot of enjoying n losing aft delivery... Yes, I think not so serious just need to ctrl for the time being. During my wk 12, my doc also commented baby slightly bigger but by wk 20, he was at 50th percentile. Now only wk 24, hope glucose test fine n with more discipline, baby will b in better shape in T3
<font color="0000ff">Esther:</font> <font color="aa00aa">Ya.. Both of us lack of discipline.. During my wk 20 detail.. Doc already mention that bb is slide bigger than avg.. But she no say anythg.. Say every norm and bb healthy.. And I start to take more sweet stuffs like birds nest, durians(Only once), can drinks, etc.. Now feeling guilty and better control abit.. </font>
Im new too, can add me in the FB as well? Thanks

Hello! I too feel that my bump has grown at an astonishing rate over the last month. Ate 3 seeds of durian fruit last night and this morning the scale shows my weight is up by 500g! That's quite scary. No more durians and desserts for the week...I have put on about 7 kg so far and am now in week 26. Was hoping to gain less but I seem to feel hubgry all the time.

May, maybe it's wrt to your size? petite? cuz i'm quite short at 1.58m, my gynae told me to slow down when i put on almost 3kg in 4 weeks during #1's time in T2.
My experience with pregnancy milk is ok, din make me gain too much. I was surprised even the chocolates and mangoes hubby got from biz trip din have much effect on me either
but then i eat at home now much more than during #1's time, when i was working, maybe that's why...

May, think i have the same diet as u, durians and bird's nest in T2, and no healthy home cooked food (dinner has been pretty much takeaway or frozen food like pizza and prata except weekend I will cook or eat at my mom's place). Besides refraining from durians and soft drinks for the time being, I'm trying to eat fish soup noodle/ yong tau foo for lunch and planning to eat healthier for dinner, cook plain porridge/ steam sweet potato/ eat cereal for dinner, try out for 2 weeks
