Some updates on this pregnancy. So far I have gained another 1kg just this week alone. I'm really crossing my fingers that it's going to my boy. I'm quite concerned with his weight gain since he seems quite small for 31 weeks. I've been taking some durians and trying to increase my protein intake, so hopefully by next visit to the gynae which is next week baby will gain 500g at least! Tummy has been expericing more tightening during the day and I can still feel his movements daily. I also do feel the pressure on my groin area, especially when I get up from sitting. Fortunately the ache on my left butt has seem to disappear and I'm not suffering from backaches. And ya he has not turned yet, the boy is still lying horizontally, must remind him to start turning!
As for water retention, swollen legs and cramps- it's not too bad this round. In fact I can still wear my shoes, and my feet only started swelling and feeling tight occasionally at night during start of 3rd trimester. Unlike the last pregnancy where at 2nd trimester I had such swollen feet that I could only wear my Birkenstock and my feet would get so tight that I would feel uncomfortable walking. My face also looked puffier the last round due to water retention. And as for cramps I'll get slight leg cramps only when I sleep with the air condition.
Oh ya this time I don't need to take the Glucose Test since there isn't any family history and my urine test each time has no traces of sugar. So the next & final test will be the Strep B test around 35 - 37 weeks, crosss fingers this will be fine.
Yesterday when I was at a course someone even complimented that I look good for a pregnant lady and I look too young to be a mother of 2 ... mua ha ha ha *blush blush*
