Tim and I were very happy to 'see' baby again at doctor's office. We were very glad that she moved her head downwards and bottom up. Doc said she may still turn, usually after week 35 only the position becomes more set. Everything looks good and her growth is on track. She is now pressing quite hard against my diaphragm/rib cage and her bottom or her knees sometimes surfaces as a bump on my belly. I sometimes wonder if anyone has ever got a broken rib from baby's movements during pregnancy?? Probably not huh... though sometimes it feels like I may be the first.
Mummy's stats:
Blood pressure: 90 50
Weight: 55.5kg (gained 2kg over last 4 weeks! Doc said it's just nice)
Fundal hight (just learnt this new term): 31cm (correlates with then 31weeks)
Baby's stats:
At time of checkup 31.1 weeks, now 32 weeks.
Weight: ~1.6kg
Head, femur, abdomen width all measuring 30.x weeks on the scan.
Baby has a pretty consistent awake/sleep schedule now. Usually in the mornings she is sleeping, until about 10.30am. 12pm onwards she is pretty active, alternating between sleep and exercise. When her Daddy meets her again after work, she greets him with kicks and turns. 9pm to 10.30pm is also another favorite exercise slot. She seems to like jazz :)
I am feeling heavier everyday and feet are sore from the pressure in the evenings. Tim is expert at giving me foot massage now :) Heartburn/acid reflux persists, it's a really unpleasant burning sensation at the throat.
We really hope to be able to go back to KL& Melaka for Chinese New Year. The concern is that I will be 35weeks then and some people I know delivered at 36/37 weeks. Dr Ng scheduled us for a checkup on the day before we were supposed to drive back for Chinese New Year. Of course, the appointment was made before he left Adventist...
