Week 37 checkup

Yesterday, mum and I went to Holland Village for Swensen ice cream and get our 1 for 1 free Hazel Daze ice creams (combination of wafer, halznut ice cream and chocolate fudge). It tasted a little sweet for mum, eventually she poured some water into her ice cream. haha. For me, it tasted perfect and nice.



After ice cream, we went home and rest for 1/2 hour, then went for my checkup myself. Luckily, the urine test was ok after a session of ice cream.






I had my 37 week routine checkup. the average waiting time was 1/2 hr to 45 mins, as usual.

I asked the gynae how heavy was my baby, he did not reply the first time, and I repeated myself again, he said i do not have to care so much and mentioned that baby will be around 3kg when born - very bad working attitude.

He said that my baby's head was very low, but did not mention when will the baby come out... he said baby will be out when it is time.

I have requested for more milk powder and this time, the girl gave me Similac Mum, he said other brands were all given away. Similac Mum is not the best option for me, it tastes extremely thick and weird.

Week 37

This week marks the 37th week of my pregnancy - also known as 'full term', which means I can deliver anytime from now on...

I am so happy that my pregnancy has reached week 37, without any problems at all. I am still all good, still feeling good, still doing my usual walk, still able to see my MIL once a week.

But, today I feel a little tired, a little heavy. Probably is time to have a very good rest...

Week 36 checkup

Week 36 - I had my routine checkup on Wednesday. Everything went as usual.

For 2 weeks, I have gained 1 kg and baby weight 2.2kg - It doesn't sounds good to me. According to research, baby at 36 weeks should weight around 2.5kg. Naturally, I feel sad. I felt it was my problem of not getting good food for my baby. Gynae did mentioned that my baby will be small when born.

He did a vaginal test, result will be out in three day's time. This time, he did not gave the scan image of my little precious, I was so sad. Every parent will like to see and have an image of the little one right? (He said there was nothing to see, just an image with a bigger head, sad right?)

Since this is my space, I will like to complaint about this gynae. He don't mention much about baby progress and when I asked, he don't answer to my question. Usually gynae will shared their experience on when the baby will be due when the dates get nearer... but he said baby will be due when baby wants to come out.

Till now, I still felt a bit unhappy with his services, I feel he had some attitude problem. He is always late and make every pregnant women to wait for him, including me. As a gynae, we knew that his time is precious, but what about our time? On average, the waiting time was at least 30 to 50 min. The longest time I had waited for him was 1 1/2 hr. Can you image?

I am really getting very frustrated with his services.

Let's see if he will do a good job when it is time for the delivery. Otherwise, I will not recommend him to my friends as well as getting him to be the gynae for the next baby.

On a happier side, the clinic girl gave lots of free sample milk powder to me. I prefer Anmum but was out of stock, therefore requested for Dumex instead. Similac tasted weird, therefore I am not keen in at all. I also requested for more this time, as I always like to drink 2 cups of milk per day. This week, the girl gave me a whole box! (There are 20 packets in it)

I was so happy as I don't have to buy any milk powder ! haha... Unlike in Australia, they don't sell milk powder for pregnant mum.

I think the clinic helped me to join the Dumex Mum and Baby Club as it was send to my PIL's address. I got samples, free gifts and discount vouchers from the company. It definitely helped to brighten up my evening :)

34 weeks checkup

Had my 34 weeks scan this week. I have gained 0.5kg in 2 weeks.

Gynae did a fetus growth scan, everything went good. He mentioned that baby was 2kg and he did not mention much.

highest record !

I m a happy girl, I scored 119,100 in the facebook Bejeweled Blitz. I got the highest breaking record for myself...
