Visited my gynae yesterday at week 33. The scan a little upsetting me. Oh no, don’t worry…little one is doing fine. Still kicking and squirming actively in mommy’s tummy.
The scan revealed 2 things.
1. #2 gonna be a much smaller baby compare to Jonathan whose birthweight was 3.99kg. She is about 1.6kg now (normal weight is about 2kg) and doctor estimated her birthweight to be nothing more than 3kg. I suspected this earlier from the size of my tummy that doesn’t seems like an 7+ months preggar. I received same comments from people around me. Comparing to my previous pregnancy, it is like I’m just in my 6 months.
Told my eldest sis about it and this was what she said: “You sleep more then baby will grow. My youngest girl is the biggest among her siblings because I slept well. Sis W (my 3rd sis) got all big babies because she slept like a pig.”
LOL! I’m not hoping for a big baby but just about the right size so that she will be much easier to care for. Any suggestion on how to increase the little one’s weight? My doc already warned me not to overeat on CNY.
2. Baby’s position is head up right now. No wonder I was getting all the squirming and kicking around my lower belly. Praying hard now that she will decide to turn down when the time comes.
