Week 28
17/8: 55.3kg. pubic bone hurts and lots of pressure especially when i stand and walk. wonder if its coz Arry's head got lodged in my pelvis or its a side effect from the past 3 days of walking more and pelvic pain
18/8: 55.4kg. dreamt that i gave birth to a super big baby 60+cm at birth! so super chunky and huge. but i wasn't hurting in my dream and even asked if i tore. apparently was given an episiotomy in my dream. didn't manage water birth and only was in the bath/water after giving birth. seems like i also gave birth alone
19/8: MGP midwife appointment at home. OGTT results all good. mildly anaemic. ferritin low. iron or Hb also low. Vit D levels low too. Fundal height 27cm. BP good and baby heartrate is good too.
Week 29
24/8: 57.3kg
27/8: 56.6kg. pregnancy brain is real. totally forgot about our dating anniversary on 25 aug. i kept wondering why that date seemed so significant or if it was someone's birthday, even asked Gavin and nope his birthday is not until the end of the month. only realized now that it was our anniversary and we both forgot lol. i usually don't forget dates like these anniversaries but hey, look what happened.
28/8: have been on maltofer for 6 days now. constipation is back again. today took lactulose in the am and finally at night managed to pass stools easy

Week 32
14/9: 58.4kg. midwife visit at home. BP good and Arry's heartrate good too. but Arry is breech... her head is near my ribs. Atty was already head down when i was 32 weeks. a little worried about this. scraping feeling felt in cervix when Arry moves so i reckon she is kicking my cervix. nausea and heartburn. had to take omeprazole. also started having nasal congestion... i had this with Atty too. it's definitely not hay fever coz other years i have no nasal congestion.
17/9: daily gastric these past few days. have been taking omeprazole. mini leg cramp this am. managed to stop it by stretching so it didn't become a full leg cramp. saw GP for omeprazole script. and the itchy rashes i've been having on my tummy/hips/butt is apparently PUPPP. got prescribed derm aid for that. also got a medical cert for king's work to apply for unpaid parental leave
18/9: woke up with sore boobs. perhaps colostrum/milk production is starting
20/9: bleeding gums after brushing teeth. same teeth brushing routine and brushing strength though
Week 33
22/9: 58.8kg
24/9: King's one year unpaid parental leave application is approved, yay!
26/9: random sleepiness at 5+pm and fell asleep on the recliner for about half an hour when Atty was doing facetime with grandparents. weird coz i managed to get 6-7 hours sleep overnight which is a good range. other days i might only have few hours sleep as after getting up to go toilet overnight i have difficulty getting back to sleep thereafter. i was actually quite well rested this day but no idea why i suddenly became sleepy and napped
27/9: official paperwork form King's work for the one year unpaid parental leave is received. so awesome, one year! i'm only taking 6 months off as i'm self-employed... most of the preparation for Arry's arrival is completed now. the nursery is all set up. baby clothes up to 3-6 months have been washed, infant capsule is set up, milk bottles washed and sterilized, i've packed my hospital bag and bag for Arry's stuff, we had stocked up on formula and diapers and wipes weeks ago when they were on sale... even started cooking confinement food and have a nice stash in the freezer now. got prepared all early as this time we're not going to get help again as borders are still closed :(
