the last of my 2nd trimester
Went for my 6th month checkup yesterday.
Although Dr Tseng never insists that ultrasounds are needed for every checkup... but one of the main reasons why we always look forward to the gynea visits is to be able to have a visual on the baby! So other than listening to the baby's heartbeats... this was the scan at 24 weeks. Baby is looking down; you can see the vertebrae on top.
Within 5 weeks, the baby has put on 446g!!! He's now 742g!!! Doctor said he's at a normal weight, but according to BabyCentre, baby's weight at this stage should be 600g!!!
As I progress into the last 2 weeks of my 2nd trimester, I have to admit this pregnancy has been relatively easy so far. No morning sickness (yet!), no stretch marks (yet!), no water retention (yet!). Other than being sleepy pretty often, and having rashes on my stomach... it's been a bliss (fingers crossed). Oh! Come to think of it... I think I may be suffering a new symptom.... have been quite emotional lately. Just last night, I got all teary cus my MIL lost my toilet rug. Argh. Silly me.
Another girlfriend of mine will be delivering her baby coming Monday. Her doctor advised her to induce since her baby girl is almost 3.5kg!!! Happy delivery, Jorene!
