of some extra kilos and a confirmation...
We went for out monthly checkup last night. Our appointment were actually supposed to be on Saturday (21st) but since it will be deepavali and coupled with the long break, we decided to go early. So wifey and I went for the evening session.
On the weighing scale, wifey had put on 3+ kgs since the last visit. When wifey inform this to me, I just thought that probably baby is growing.
Anyway, during the doc’s consultation, the doctor noted that wifey had gain a lot of weight. (In fact, wifey told me later that the nurse asked her to take her weight again before seeing the doctor. Probably to make sure that the first reading was not a mistake.) According to the doctor, baby has now turned and her head is pointing slightly downward, which is an indication that baby is on track. Her hands and feet are very distinct now. We can also clearly see her little heart beating and at one point we even caught a glimpse of something that we think might be her intestine. The good doctor also did another scan around the pelvic region and to confirm that we will be having a mei mei. Can’t see any extra appendage there, so he confirmed that we will be having a girl.
That was a good relief to me as it just so happen that I was reading an entry in this forum. In one of the threads, some women shared of their experience where the initial scan indicate the baby as girl and later to find out in the subsequent scan that the baby is actually a boy. Even though our gynea have been known to be very accurate, there was always that small inkling worrying feeling. But I guess with this confirmation put all those worries to rest.
Doc also said that baby’s size is normal and concluded that probably the extra weight gained is probably gained by wifey rather than baby. So I guess wifey must be in a way, enjoying this pregnancy by indulging on her favorite preoccupation, Food!.
Doc advices to cut down a bit on rice, bread and carbo stuff. So, I guess, it will be more vege from now on.
