My check up to the KKH

Went for my monthly check up yesterday. Got so many questions to bomb-bah my gynae as it's was a long waited 1 month.

3 more days to my 16 weeks of pregnancy, expected to see the gender of my baby but Doc Tan said he/she is too shy to open up or perhaps is just too busy kicking inside me!

For these 15 weeks, I've gained 1kg which is 45.1kg now (So proud of myself). Baby is currently 8.5cm long (3.5 inch) but still very small to know the weight. I am anxious to know about the growth and weight of baby is because Fayth was borned a IUGR (terms for Low Birth Weight Baby) at 44cm long, 2.26kg only and it was really tough to look after such a small baby. She's just like a little kitten even during full month!

When I'm preggy with Fayth, I was suffering from Low Lying Placenta which will resulted in bleeding and unable to have a normal vaginal delivery because it blocks the birth canal but usually the placenta will move upwards as the pregnancy progress. Now, again, I'm having this Low Placenta so hopefully it will move upwards when my womb gets bigger...

Knowing that I got a history of IUGR baby, Doc Tan prescribed me Prenatal Omega Fish oil for the development of baby's brain and eyes function. I've just measured the fish oil soft gel, it is 2cm long and 0.5cm thick! Oh gosh... ZPGY will know that I will have problem swallowing pills but I'm good at biting panadol, wahahaha~~~

I confessed to Doc Tan that I've this very bad habit of stealing coffee to drink but of cause I don't drink it everyday. Doc Tan said 1 cup of coffee a day is fine but it would be better if I don't drink it frequently as caffeine is bad for baby's development.

I really got so many questions to ask my gynae but ended up I missed out the most important question... I constipate almost everyday and this is my biggest problem of all, I wanted to get Doc Tan to prescribe me with something that can really help me with...but...sob sob, got to wait till next month again! :(

Oh yes, I no longer needed the medication that stabilised the pregnancy!!! And all my blood tests result normal! Now waiting for the major scanning on 18 May, Doc Tan said will check the baby gender again next month.

Baby, Be good ok! Don't be so shy, give doctor check awhile only then Mummy can start to think of nice names... If girl, will be Fynn Lam. If boy, still can't think of any nice name that start with F..... Chinese name I want it to be Lam Jia Le, suitable for both boy and girl but still will need to give those people to count the birth time etc after the baby is born...
