w35 visit

Saw Dr Yang on Friday afternoon. Weight gain wasn't what she had expected so I had to lie down there for about 10-15min on my back for CTG to monitor baby movement. Mei Yun was there with me to keep me awake... :) All is well. And I would be seeing her again 10days from then on 2Nov. After that we went to Taka for teabreak and I went on home to pick up Shawn from school.

Now that I'm coughing, darn.. I'm refraining from medication. Hopefully it'll be gone in a day or two. Still have to pump up the kgs that I owe in 3rd trimester. Perhaps I'm eating too healthily nowadays ahhaaaa

W34 checkup

I went for my regular check up today with mum. Baby is weighing at approximately 2.3kg now. Dr Yang said he's not fat, on average and on the tall side. Baby was busy kicking around and sticking out his tongue and lapping in the aminiotic fluid when she's doing the checkup. But she managed to get to the right angle and I had a good side view of the little one. Based on physical check, she said that baby is low and almost in engaged position. Well, I hope not too early as I'm just at w34 only. She still says that #2 would end up looking more like me just as she's seeing Shawn now... hehehee. As I asked about my own weight gain, I have added 16kg to my pre-pregnancy weight, versus when I had Shawn at this w34, I had gained 14kg but numerically higher than current pregnancy. She added that if I want baby to be more chubby, go on and have durian. She had already given up the dip stick test during the regular visit, since I had already passed my recent OGTT, I should be clear of GD. As for StrepB, this time round I am test negative. Means the antibiotics that was given to me during Shawn's delivery worked on me. Sounds good!

Passed OGTT

On 1Oct, it's Children's Day. Shawn stayed with YT while I dragged myself out of the house for the OGTT. I got to the hospital and had to drink the grossly orange fizzy drink and wait for 2 dreaded hours. No scanning was done during the visit just physical and heartbeat check because it was an adhoc visit and not part of the package.

Well, thankfully I passed the test. The clinic called me on 2Oct to inform me that I passed, much to my delight!
