Putting on the necessary weight

Every night, I will conscientiously go on the weighing scale to check on my weight. From the last gynae visit two weeks ago, my baby doubled in size and I guess my doctor is worried that he will just continue to grow bigger and bigger till I can't do natural birth.

To counteract that problem, I have already switched from nutritional full milk to reduced sugar soya milk and from white bread to wholemeal bread. Other than that, I haven't cut down much and am waiting to see if baby is still doubling when I go to the gynae next. Am rather excited for the next visit happening next week.

My tummy continues to grow bigger and now I suffer from carpus tunnel at night occasionally. I haven't had the time to do exercise which I have told myself I would love to get down to doing some. The only thing I really get down doing is gyrating to release tension on the lower back and pelvic muscles so that the muscles will flex properly to welcome xiao gua into the world.

Today, I also explored putting up a ticker on the website and am so glad that I managed to put it up. As I am typing this, I am experiencing Braxton Hicks. The uterus suddenly tightens but it isn't painful.

Oh and did I mention, as I grow bigger, my rib cage is starting to feel sore and my old problem is coming back to haunt me. Got to remember to highlight it to the gynae and the respiratory doctor when I see them next week.

Starting to feel very tired all of a sudden. The first trimester symptoms are indeed returning. :) Got to go back and sleep earlier tonight again.
