Pregnancy update: Week 20

halfway there! yay!
see how much my baby bump has grown~
hello Atty~~~ <3

my nausea seems to be finally easing up, still having some nausea in the afternoon and night but more manageable. acne and pelvic girdle pain continues...

weight 53.6kg (+0.9kg in the past week, +6.6kg so far)

went to see my antenatal shared care gp on 9 May 2017 for the ultrasound report. everything seems to be going well, nil abnormalities :) gp is happy with my weight gain (i think its going up a bit quickly though), BP, fundal height and fetal movement/heart rate so far.

gp gave me the order for the 28 week bloods... i'm a little worried about the OGTT since the limits are so strict. last time during a routine health check up i think my fasting blood glucose was above 5mmol/L (cannot remember the exact reading anymore)... but based on the criteria for GDM if FBG >= 5.1mmol/L it's a positive diagnosis. hmm... we shall see.

then there was Mothers' Day on 14 May 2017... hehe my first Mothers' Day as a mother-to-be (see previous post).

on 15 May 2017 we went for our first antenatal education session at the WCH! it's a session on 'Back care and healthy exercise' conducted by a physiotherapist. the physio shared some useful tips and exercise recommendations especially with a fitness ball. i also hired a oppo belt, hopefully it can help my pelvic girdle pain.
