27/5: nausea bad today. other days the nausea is less intense. sour taste in mouth is going away too. lesser urge to brush teeth immediately after eating. belly is so huge. like to beginning of my 3rd trimester belly with Atty. and not even halfway there yet. bloating also contributes to the size of my belly but overall its much bigger than the 1st pregnancy. feels at least 10 weeks bigger.

24/6: 20 week scan. Arry was so active, kept moving and kicking. placenta is in front but i still feel her kicks all over. she even rolled over from lying on her back to childs pose and then did swimming! stretched her legs out all the way. from the scan she seems to have a pouty mouth like me hehee

30/6: follow up appointment with doctor. scans look good. Arry developing well with nil issues. my BP is good. also took the whooping cough vaccine again. arm feels a bit sore. GP also recommended elective csection due to lower risk. sigh, dilemma.
2/7: received call from midwife that i got into the midwifery group practice program! yay! so happy and relieved!
4/7: strong fatigue. woke up at 9+am then after flopping a while fell asleep again and woke up at 2+pm. later around 4-5+pm got so sleepy again and took around an hour nap. sooo tired that couldn't even focus on scrolling my phone. just laid down in bed and fell asleep which usually doesn't happen to me these days. i almost never take naps too.

5/8: came up with middle name - Jade
8/8: sort of decided on middle name... name shall be Ariel Jade Kang
9/8: pooping lots these few days. 2-3 times and large amounts. easy to pass. maybe coz i have been having much higher fibre intake these days
Week 27
10/8: OGTT and bloods today. the 75g glucose drink is flavourless this time. wasn't too bad drinking it. previously the one i had was orange flavour? that was gross. lots of burping while drinking it but overall wasn't too bad. some little nausea after drinking it but nothing serious like last time. found out i'm allergic to the tape that's used over cotton ball after taking bloods. red and swollen skin where the tape was. didn't know it until the nurse told me... i always thought it because of compression of the tape when i bend my arm. belly very heavy and hard to walk around. pelvic pain after walking around for long
11/8: 55.4kg
12/8: feeling quite a bit of fetal movement but not very visible from the outside so unable to take videos :( maybe because of anterior placenta so the movement is not as observable on the outside
14/8: started using tubigrip belly band. helps with back pain and also support for my heavy belly. pelvic pain still present.
15/8: took maternity photos at Carrick Hill and Adelaide Botanic Gardens to catch the pink blossoms
16/8: went for WCH physio class on back and pelvic pain. pretty much same things covered previously... i went mainly to get more tubigrip so i have more to wash and change. bought 2 tubigrips
