Gynae checkup report 15 Jan

I haven't been updating the blog with my gynae checkups! The November and December 2007 ones are not blogged. But nevermind, here is the report for 15 Jan's checkup and activities for the day.

At 26 weeks, I have put on almost 10 kg since beginning of pregnancy! (It was nine point something kilos) Gynae thinks I may hit 18-20kg total weight gain. 20kgs is really a lot, I was quite worried to hear that.

This month's weight gain is about 3.5g, more than all the other previous month's, which were about 2 kg gain every 4 weeks. I guess drinking the milk for pregnant women helped.

On the bright side, we caught a glimpse of the little one during the scan, snoozing quietly, legs open wide as usual. He is about 27 weeks' size, growing at a week ahead of his age. The husband was very pleased to hear that, and told me to drink even more milk - he hopes to have a giant for a son. At the expense of my figure!

Anyway I have been boosting nutrition the past month, by double-boiling birds' nest, cheng teng, all the nutritious dessert soups (with minimal sugar lor...) about once a week. A cup of preggers milk a day almost faithfully. Frequent fish intake. Fish oil capsule daily.

Gynae recommended less carbos and sweets. He talked about the treacheries of CNY goodies, and even pinpointed the twin evils of pineapple tarts, being full of fat (butter) and sugar. I could hardly believe my hears. Shock!! Sacrilege!! What would CNY be without pineapple tarts!?!?

After the check up, had a nice but quite rushed american breakfast with the husband at Olio Dome, Paragon. And then the rest of the day's mine!

Went to have a full leg wax at Stip, Paragon, for old time's sake. Ooh how I miss silky smooth legs.

Bought some non-wired bras from Marks and Spencers.

Had an hour's pre-natal massage at Spa Esprit, Paragon. This was quite an experience. It was relaxing, once I managed to lie in a comfortable position. Would like to go again, but to a cheaper place. Spa Esprit was pricey about $101.65 (incl GST). I think there should be cheaper alternatives out there that is just as good.

Then it was off to Niks for a facial, ah this never fails to satisfy. Lovely and relaxing.

Overall, a day jam-packed of activities, but not too tired out because of all the pampering treats!
