Say what??

Today was baby's monthly checkup. 

We are now at 27weeks 6days. About 28 weeks coming. Doing the math, that would mean about 12 weeks left before I deliver, that is if I deliver on the expected due date itself. 

This time, I plan to let time take its course and not induce the baby. I never personally experience what it is like to have my water bag break by itself. Hopefully not when I am sleeping during the middle of the night. :)

Some of my friends think that I might be giving birth a little earlier than the expected due date. Given my size right now, I would think so but baby ain't that big as me. Baby is growing well in proportion like how he is supposed to be.

Abdomen, head circumference are all normal, the water and placenta looks good and well, seems baby is turning into the right position too.

Its only me, that has something to worry about and that is my weight.

Lets just say, today was the day I got laughed by the nurse, doctor and my husband. I don't find it offensive though because I find it funny myself.

I was 47kg when we first discovered I was pregnant early this year. Then with all the morning sickness, my weight was up and down, mostly down.. It seems that I was losing weight more than piling them on..

and then, by the time second trimester hit, morning sickness was gone and with the monstrous appetite that I have and no control over food desires, I only have myself to blame for my ballooned weight.

The nurse, when I took my weight today, and we both were staring at the weighing scale for quite some time before she turned to me and said, "Terkejut ker?" 

"MEMANG! *sob uwahhhh*"

She laughed and thought I was funny.

We proceeded on checking my blood pressure, normal. Then she asked if I peed yet, I said nope, saving it for the test as I was scared that I might just have a few drips. Turned out, I filled up that whole bottle. FULL! 

Usually the nurse ain't there when I put the bottle down at the counter but today, she was standing there, ready to check the pH level and when she saw the full bottle, she laughed again. *sigh* Embarassing things I do to myself.

Then it was time for me to go into my gynae's room. Hubby was there. Doctor took a look at my weight and then he went.. woah!

So I asked, its quite a lot right, my weight?

He had to put his words kindly and said, "well, its a bit a lot.. do cut down on your carbs and stick to vege and protein."

Guess that answered my question!

Even my closest friends did mentioned that when she saw me just three weeks ago, I was still growing well, but the recent photo showed a different me, a very ballooned up me!

We did not manage to have the 3D scan taken as baby was covering his face with one hand and doctor think it would be a waste of money if we were to take that scan today. We are going to try again in 3 weeks time to see if baby would show us his face.

So what is my weight right now? as of week 27 and 6 days?

*sigh* 

FINE, I will tell.. just because so I can look back next time and remember this very day that my eyes went terbeliak open at the weighing scale.

I knew I piled on weight but I didn't know it was going to be that consistent every month!

I am officially 58.1kg @ 17th Sept 2013.
