K and I went for Bria's check up on Monday evening.. We were the last couple again, so the wait was not long. = )
I've gained another 500grams since my last check up 10 days ago.. Grand total weight gain: 10kg! As for my baby, she's gained another 200g and now weighs about 3kg according to Dr. Lim.. Scary! 3kg is like a little big loh! And she's still 3 weeks away from her due date! Good thing is, Dr. Lim says Bria is growing very well. Plus, she's now in the Anterior position, facing my spine (an easier position for birth) = )
During the check up, Dr. Lim saw my swollen feet, and advised me to get more rest. He also admonish the saying that swollen feet indicates the arrival of the baby. Once again, so much for old wives' tales! I was puzzled when he asked me to get more rest though, cause i've been doing nothing but rest at home for the past few weeks! Plus, this was not the first time he had asked me to get more rest during my check ups. So i asked him, and he explained that i needed more BED rest, and sitting down at home doesn't count. I needed to lie down more so my feet will get better and my baby will get more oxygen. So des ne!
Problem is, I'm not really an afternoon nap person, although i know i will appreciate all the bed rest i can get once the baby is born! So what i do is i will try and watch all my movies on my laptop in bed, half lying down. I am already bored enough at home, can't imagine having to lie in bed and try to sleep everyday!
