Finally i went for my prenatal checkup, my last check was on 10/3/07. Almost due 2 momths.

Measured by own scale (24 March 07) - 67.5kg

Fifth (5 May 07) - 73.2kg

Gosh, my weight gaining like rocket, i have gained 5.9kg within 2 months time.

Blood pressure - 121/67
Baby's weight - 1.585kg (Doctor said baby is only considered average, not so big in 31st weeks)

• Baby has turned and very active.
• I'm so tired recently as tummy getting bigger and rest getting lesser. People would think i'm in full term who is going to give birth soon.
• I have suffered a backpain too, i can't turn my body to left or right side if i sleep on my back. It's like all my nerves are tangled and make me couldn't turn to my desire side.
• Cramp is getting better or i can say barely happen now, i guess should be the calcium sufficiency in my body since i've started to take Anmum lately. This only my 4th tinned so far, the previous 2 tinned just half finished and finally went off due to expired.
• I used to sleep on my right side but most studies said that the left side is the best, so now i gradually have to force myself a bit to adjust my sleeping position.
• Getting difficult to stand/wake up if i sitting on sofa or lying on the bed. So, i prefer to sit on normal wooden chair.
• I have nose bleeding, mild one but happens everyday. Doctor said it's common for pregnant woman, as long as other body parts won't get the bruises easily.
• Have little milk dropped. So, i think no problem for breastfeeding.
• Can't breathe comfortably especially during sleeping time.
• Both legs have mild swollen. Feet seem serious as i almost outgrew my Nike sport shoes. Wrist too as the watch would leave down the watch's mark.
• Have been walking like a duck, baby seems like very active during my walk.
• My skin very dry, despite how religiously of applying lotion over the skin.
• Speaking to stretch marks, one word, TERRIBLE! It turns purplish. So old marks plus new marks equal to UGLY!
• Butt, looks round and big.
• Have double chin.
• Appetite is huge, recently craving for peanut and red-bean.

Next check will fall on 19 May 07. This time spent HKD380 for the consultation without taking any pills. Somemore the scan not so clear if compare the scan in Sabah. So, i can't upload the scan here.
