29 weeks 5 days
weight ~ 65.8kg (40" waist)
pregnancy related complains remain very much the same as the week before with a 'newcomer' of feeling tightness in the chest area thus resulting in breatheless even when at rest without performing any activity!
Mummy's skin condition has been getting pretty bad and she tend to get scratchy very easily and the weather somehow contribute to be part of the culprit. A few little red spots start to appear on the tummy and mummy is resisting the strong temptation to avoid scratching them for fear of resulting in stretch marks. Stubborn acnes are reappearing on her face as well.
getting calves cramps much easier especially upon waking up but a few isolated occurences out of the blue - once post lunch, sudden cramp and the other abit more concerned when the toes get cramp suddenly which fortunately I have reached home. Just the other day, was thinking what / how to react should I experience cramp while driving hoping it doesn't happen at all. Toying with the various scenarios, pull the car over the side of the road and wait till the cramp subside, straighten the leg immediately and flex the toes etc. Worst scenario will be if I happen to be travelling on the 1st lane of the highway, would I have sufficient time to react and switch lanes to the road shoulder bearing in mind how 'gracious' local drivers can be when it comes to lanes switching.
Mummy did notice a trait of Baby nowadays. He will be moving real actively in the morning especially when mummy try to steal another 5 mins of sleep before waking for work. Weekend will be worst off when He try to wake mummy up constantly from about 8am onwards. Another observation will be that Baby simply doesn't like mummy to be seated / lying down without much actions and acitivities. For example, he will move furiously when mummy is in the office doing work, driving, watching television at home lying down. Perhaps when mummy walk alot in the afternoon during the course of her work, it gives Baby a nice rhythm in the womb.
Anyhow, we visited Dr Woody on Thur for our regular checkup and at the same time mummy is feeling a tad under the weather. The usual greetings exchanged and he's nice to ask about the 'contractions' / pains experienced last visit. It had kind of ease off and occurring much lesser than before. went for the scan and for the 1st time, he mentioned about BB's weight which is about 1.4kg and all appear well. oh, Baby's head is down. That might explain why the frequency urgency need to empty a full bladder which yield little result always.
Mummy was given 2 days medical leave to rest at home and was warned - no shopping; another of his favourite statement. Being rather pro-active which is quite unusual of him, he warned mummy that as the pregnancy gets heavier, she could experienced some pains and pressure around the vaginal and pelvic area which mummy had started having the symptoms. when asked about anything further to note / monitor on the Braxton Hicks, he mentioned to look out for frequent / regular contractions which might come every 20 mins or so, otherwise the best would be to keep Baby in the womb for longest possible (of course till our EDD).
Mummy asked about the donation of cord blood and was told to contact SCBB directly for documentation and to bring along the kit during labour. Should have consult him for advice if banking Baby's cord blood privately is advisable from his point of view!
