Baby's progress on 14th Feb 2008






I went for my monthly baby check-up on Thursday. As usual, I had my urine test taken followed by weighing my body weight. I was 47 kg as of that day, which means that I had put on a total of 4 kg over these 5 months of pregnancy. My gynae was pleased for me over my weight progress. She thought I was putting on weight consistently despite my skinny frame. I think she must have guessed my concern that my stomach is still not obvious for a 5 months pregnancy. As before I could reply her, she told me to check out my baby’s progress through the ultrasound scan. Thursday check up was supposed to be a detailed screening to check on my baby’s brain, heart, limbs, kidney, size etc. The one thing that made me always look forward to each gynae visit is to be able to see my baby through the scan. Through the scanning, I could see my baby’s active movements in my womb. At one point, he was even caught yawning by us. After which, my baby fell asleep with minutes. It was really so heart-warming to see my baby boy. After each visit to the clinic, it definitely made me look forward to my baby arrival in July. And I know I am answering on behalf of JS as well. :)
