3rd trimester

I have been into 3rd trimester for almost a month now. Well, it is very true.... 2nd trimester is the honeymoon period. Now I'm tired easily and backache strikes. The backache which I experience is right behind my chest. So when I'm seated in office, in car or even sleeping in straight position, it is uncomfortable or I'll get tired.
My tummy grows even bigger now. I wonder I could still balance myself till term. hehe....
BB's kicking is getting often now and practically active while I'm in office, mostly after lunch and at night when I'm sleeping. Past few days, BB was busy at night, and I was also very uncomfy. Ended up, sleepless night.

Last week, I had fresh young coconut water!!!! Ppl say 3rd trimester already, can have it once in a while. A friend of mine had coconut water since day one of her pregnancy. But this is not advisable at all, by the oldies.

Mom has also been asking me to boil Snow Jelly. So today I did it. Bought 10g at RM28.50 and it's good to boil 2 times. Each time it can serve 2.

Started the antenatal class at Sunway Medical by Sister Chong and Alice Wong (midwife, breastfeeding nurse). First class started on 22/Nov and we were thought by Sister Chong for bonding with BB. The second class was conducted by Alice Wong and she lectures on Labour. Learnt quite a bit on labour process. Pretty good class. Drinks and snacks are served in each class. :) Another 2 more class to attend...... by then, I am even nearer to the EDD.

Baby's stuff .... for BB's arrival

I have managed to get all these above for BB's arrival.
Oh, I think there's more stuff not taken in this photo. :P One of it is the mosquito net for playpan. But I'm going use it for BB's cot or on the bed.
My sis pass down a playpan for me. This I'll put in MIL's house for BB's 1st month and also long term.
The BB clothes seen in the drawer is mostly from my SIL. So far I've only bought 2bibs, 1 pair of clothes and 2 pairs of botties and a cap for BB.
The Sterilizer we go here is a good deal. RM170+ with 10% discount, moreover it comes with a bottle/food warmer.
There are still stuffs to get definitely......... but pocket already empty. :P I NEED SPONSORS NOW. :)

My tummy at week 29/30

Kinda pointed right ? Ppl has been telling me pointed can means BB boy. :P But lets see later.
Waist size to belly button = 39in.

Memory..... Dory-alike :)

Lately, I feel like I'm not able to focus much and tendency to have very short term memory. Luckily this is for daily stuff and not much affecting on my job.

Breastfeeding Seminar

Both Anderson and I attended a private Breastfeeding Seminar on 15Nov organized by TeenyTinyTapir at Ampang (www.tinytapir.com). The talk is given by Gina Yong, a qualified breastfeeding consultant.

Gina Yong, the breastfeeding / lactation consultant was trained in the USA and she gives a great informational talk which is so useful. I find that I have learnt quite a bit in all sorts of things, not just breastfeeding through her seminar. She even visits to hospital if we require her too (in KlangValley only) and charges RM100 per visit, or was it per hour (?)... hehe.

Basically this is what both of us learn from her yesterday.

• Why Breastfed is Best fed
• How to Get Started the Right Way
• How Milk Gets from Breast to Baby
• Correct Positioning and Holding of baby
• Correct Latch-On (it should not be painful!)
• Avoid Breastfeeding Common Problems – Engorgement, Sore Nipples etc
• How to Increase Your Milk Supply
• How to know if your baby is getting enough milk
• Daddy and the breastfed Baby

BB 7th ultrasonic scan - week 27-28

BB is overall doing well. Dr did another check on the gender and this time, he says one line between two thighs.... it's a shape of a hamburger.... and if boy, we call it cigar.....

This week around also, I have officially stepped into 3rd trimester. WHOA!!!!! Time flies....
In another 2-3months, BB arrives. :)

Dr is scheduling another check up for BB 3 weeks from now.

Dry skin on tummy

Since I couldn't re-apply the Palmer's Cocoa butter, I notice that my skin is getting dry and peeling also. But one good thing, the rashes is gone.
I am worried of rashes so did not try new brands. So, later after delivery... stretch mark all over ???
