Pregnancy update: Week 27

 

weight: 57.3kg (-0.1kg since last week, overall +10.3kg)
not sure about the weight as i took my weight 4 times, and each time had a different reading... the lowest being 56.8kg. i just indicated as 57.3kg as is the closest to last week's reading. not sure what's the deal with my weighing scale.

symptoms: acne, heartburn, pelvic girdle pain, leg cramps x1

27/6 suddenly became dizzy after shower when i was drying my hair, resolved after some time and fresh air
3/7 late night slight queasiness (felt more like indigestion... i think the nausea has finally left me after 2 trimesters)

these days my backache upon waking is getting worse... still can't really get used to sleeping on my side...i miss sleeping on my back...

i couldn't wait for my midwife appointment on 6/7 to get my blood test results so called up my midwife to check on the results of my OGTT... and my sugar levels are fine! *throws confetti*
fasting 3.9mmol/L (it was 4.2mmol/L based on the glucometer at SA Pathology though... ???)
1 hour 6.7mmol/L
2 hours 6.6mmol/L

but...turns out my iron and vit D levels are low. time to eat some steak! it's hard to get enough sunlight during winter though. i don't want to take supplements~~~

overall the 2nd trimester has been much more smooth sailing compared to the 1st trimester. seems like discomfort is starting to build up moving into the 3rd trimester as Atty is growing bigger. no wonder the 2nd trimester is like the honeymoon trimester for most people.

so... it's onto the 3rd trimester!!! only about 3 more months left... ahhhh!
