27 weeks

weight ~ 65.1kg

mummy has been gaining weight at a rather quick pace recently as though like experiencing growth spur. partially attributed by her numerous indulgences these days.

tightness of the tummy still occur intermittently and mummy got to realise that she had to relax in order not to aggrevate the tightness. Her natural reflex has been to tighten further which don't help at all.

She received a few comments that her tummy looks like she's about 4-5 mths pregnant when in actual fact approaching 7th month! She learnt not to take the comments to heart and worry herself silly as she's certain that Baby is growing well.

The last trip to Dr Woody's was brought forward as mummy is a little worried about the tightness and pain of her tummy. Citing possible scenario that One - possibly normal cramping which is not too much of a concern while the Second being premature contraction but as Baby is still too young thus it is highly recommended to be sent to KKH instead as the bills for premature is estimated to be about $50K. At the very least for KKH - C class, can obtain about 80% subsidy. But as of now he think that everything is fine and we just have to monitor from there. Panic buttom to be pressed only if there are numerous contractions felt within an hr/day otherwise no cause for alarm!

On a cheerful note, Baby is 916g at 26 weeks! Dr Woody assure that Baby is growing well and is of average weight but mummy felt that Baby's growth has slowed down a wee bit but it's alrite. Anyhow this is just an estimation only.

Mummy and Daddy went for a free 4D scan the other day but to mummy's disappointment, baby wasn't in a favourable position as he's facing away from the tummy. Did not manage to see much of Baby's actions except for his side profile partially covered by his hand. We were told that his feet are over his head, gosh! Try to have a clear view of his 'birdie' but mission failed as well. After a few attempt even with coaxing and talking to Baby, he decided not to show us his features and actions as yet. Perhaps meant to give us a surprise upon his arrival.
