Hi AliceElise, congrats that u are also getting a bb girl. But I think u are too worried. Being a mother to be must relax yourself. No matter what u eat now, just remember eat what u want. Bb can absorb already and she will grow as days go by. It doesn't mean that u are not gaining alot now means bb is not growing, it also means that bb is absorbing more than what u expect. Jus eat normally, gain your weight normally. Eat what u like and don't have too much restrictions but not too much sweet stuff.Hello all mommies and mommies-to-be!
Just went for my FA scan on the 6th of June at Thomson Medical. After a long wait baby was sleeping. Radiographer made me get some food n cold drinks to "wake" baby up. Finally got up and we found out it's a girl!! Husband has always wanted a jiejie/didi combo or jiejie/meimei. So needless to say he was overjoyed. However, for me, other than designing the pink nursery for baby, I do not dare to start buying clothes and all baby eqpments. Just in case i pop a boy instead.
Few qns for mommies:
1. I am currently 21 weeks and 2 days, I have only gained about 3+kg. I am starting to get VERY worried. Pre-pregnancy, I get fat even breathing or drinking water. (58kg pre-preg) Right now, I eat like a dinosaur because I get hungry very often. I eat like 5 meals a day.. but just a little will make me very bloated. I find it hard to put on weight. My last gynae visit I had to even lie that I put on 1kg. I am taking Similac mum every morning/night. 3 diff kinds of supplement from gynae. But my weight has been stagnant since the 12 week mark. My baby bump is, on the other hand, getting bigger. And it is now obvious that I am pregnant.. Any idea on what I can eat to boost weight gain?? Or just let it be?
2. I have this throbbing pain on my lower left back whenever I sleep on my back. I have always been a back sleeper. I have to sleep on my side to ensure my back don't hurt. And because it is natural to me, in the middle of the night I would still flip back to lie on my back. The pain is so intense it wakes me up. So i wake up just to lie on my side. Before it repeats again, almost every night. I have tried googling but there are 1001 different responses from different people until I get more worried. Is this common for other mommies? Maybe to add on, I am 25, I have had previous back injury during my sec sch days from Netball. Seeking advice as my next gynae visit is on the 19th, pain is getting very bad these days. And those China nurses keep repeating that no bleeding no need to push my appt forward. fed up.
3. Baby is kicking really really low. Is it too early to worry she's in breech position?
Hope to get some advise. I'm really problematicVery worrying because first child. And my husband begged me to stop googling lest I scare myself more
I can feel your excitement. Congratulations! Don't worry too much about your weight. If you are getting nutritious food, you should be ok. Remember to take natural supplement with DHA(Omega 3) and Vit. B in it. Breathing should give you energy not put on more weight. Not sure where you get that from but very interesting to know. About your back pain, can I suggest you to attend this talk on Holistic chiropractic care for pregnancy and Natural birth if you are keen to learn improve your health and birth. Here is the LINK. I think all expectant mommies and husband should know more about birth.Hello all mommies and mommies-to-be!

Thank you all! I'm not as worried now. hee.
Xiangxiangmama, the part about breathing and putting on weight is just a joke. It's like you don't have to do anything and the weight still piles on. But after preg very different. Hubby says maybe cos baby is taking in all the nutrients. hmm.. i dunno. I've already signed up for hypnobirthing classes because no epidural for me. Trying to find all sorts of alternatives.
mums the word, I realised I made a mistake by lying also. I naively thought I could eat more this month to be in the "healthy weight gain" ratio. Not working though. Since most mommies here face the same then I think there is nothing to worry about. phew. I'll just eat as per normal!![]()
