So fast.. is already Week 28… now is the last trimester d… Now… baby in there kick more and more strong.. and more and more frequent.. for this time a bit different… cause I didn’t go Government Hospital for check up… Although Brandon’s relative did ask us to go for check up at Government lar.. but after giving birth for Daphne… we find that go Government check up is a bit useless for us… actually there’s a few reasons why last time we go for check up at Government Hospital
1. If any serious case happen which the private hospital won’t want to take you during give birth, they will actually ask you go Government Hospital… and Government Hospital will only take your case if you did regular check up at the Government Hospital before (which you will have the RED book)
2. you will get FREE injection service at Government Hospital which you can save up a lot (as for Daphne we didn’t bring her to Government Hospital for the injection… cause Government Hospital didn’t have all the injection only those they think is necessary)
3. after give birth, government hospital will actually ask their nurse to visit your house to help check up for the baby and mummy… (this is the part which i like…)
hmm… currently my weight is around 56kg… –_-“ faint… fatty fat fat… i can really eat this time… compare to last time when i have Daphne… this time.. after i ate a bowl of wan ton mee… i can still order 5 pcs chee cheong fun and finish them all –_-“ faint.. isn’t that scary… haha.. and every time i go check up sure doctor said i gain weight.. and not just 1kg.. sometimes will gain till 2kg… i really wonder… how fat will i be when i deliver the 2nd baby… hmm… i think after this must really keep fit d… hahaha
Below are the information i get from Babycenter
How your baby’s growing:
By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She’s also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
How your life’s changing:
You’re in the home stretch! The third and final trimester starts this week. If you’re like most women, you’ll gain about 11 pounds this trimester.
At this point, you’ll likely visit your doctor or midwifeevery two weeks. Then, at 36 weeks, you’ll switch to weekly visits. Depending on your risk factors, your practitioner may recommend repeating blood tests for HIV and syphilis now, as well as doing cultures for chlamydia and gonorrhea, to be certain of your status before delivery. Also, if your glucose screening test result was high and you haven’t yet had follow-up testing, you’ll soon be given the 3-hour glucose tolerance test. And if the blood work done at your first prenatal visit showed that you’reRh negative, you’ll get an injection of Rh immunoglobulin to prevent your body from developing antibodies that could attack your baby’s blood. (If your baby is Rh positive, you’ll receive another shot of Rh immunoglobulin after you give birth.)
Around this time, some women feel an unpleasant “creepy-crawly” sensation in their lower legs and an irresistible urge to move them while trying to relax or sleep. If this sensation is at least temporarily relieved when you move, you may have what’s known as restless legs syndrome (RLS). No one knows for sure what causes RLS, but it’s relatively common among expectant mothers. Try stretching or massaging your legs, and cut down on caffeine, which can make the symptoms worse. Ask your caregiver if you should try iron supplements, which can sometimes relieve RLS.
