had menses-like cramps since 11am in morning..

read from forum & cousin that the cramps is normal cos the uterus is expanding due to bb and placenta growth.. 

but the cramps became more intense. 

called the nurses and was recommended to drop by to hv a check.

went to gynae at 6pm. 

weight = 65.4kg (total weight gain till date: 9.4kg)

gynae said bb is ok and the cramps are actually contractions. asked her why do i hv this..

her reply : "its ur own body.. some ppl just hv more trouble during the pregnancy. "

its not due to any food that I hv taken or things that i hv done.  

phew! small case.. 

gynae say no shopping & need to rest more. She gave me 3 days MC. 

and she commented: " Do not listen to those stupid ppl who tells u exercise is good for u. lets have some good peace for these 2 mths and u can kickbox or do whatever u like." 

gynae prescribed "Ventolin" to relax the contractions.

5th detailed scan

6 Oct 08

Had our 5th mth detailed scan at NUH early morning.

Whole process took about 30mins.

The sonographer had hard time trying to determine the gender of our bb.

So, she called in the senior consultant.

Senior consultant scanned for about 3 mins and located the 2 bulges at bb's bottom...

He said:" If ur bb is a gal, ther will not a bulge here."

Then within the next few seconds, he said " Hahah , see bb is having an erection."

So BB is a BOY!

Everything else is NORMAL and thats what we wanted..

BB also has a nice nose ..Daddy said "Look like u lor."

BB's estimated fetal weight is 480gms.

:)

My Baby BOY!

30 Sep 08

Gynae visit ..

When we went into the room , gynae's first sentence:
"You are putting on too much weight!"
indeed, i have gained 3 kg over the past 3 weeks!
Man! Wat happened?!
(total weight gain is 8Kg)

I guess it should be the cheese cake, butter cookies, tiramisu, fresh milk, yogurt, fruit juices that I had over the weeks....

Gynae kept asking wat I had for my meals while scanning my tummy...

She is very concerned of my diet and warned that I should not take indian food and only
Chinese mixed veg rice is recommended.. And no more yogurt, yakult, juices.
Plenty of fresh fruits are recommended.

And I asked "What is the gender of the bb?"
Gynae replied "Opps, u mean I have not tell you that? Is a BOY!"

:) Haaahaa so Gynae's 85% prediction is correct ..

Now we can start decor the bb room with boyish stuff liao

My 5th mth detailed scan in NUH will be next Mon, 6 Oct 08.. Looking forward to it!
