36 Weeks Pregnant


Dr: Hi, good morning, Yvonne. Come, come. Hv a sit.
(we sat down at Dr. Tan's desk while he's checking on something)
Dr: Okay, let me see. This is the final month of ur pregnancy (adding a smile to his face) How r u? Baby giving u hard time a bit eh..?

I reckon there should be a reason why Dr. Tan said this when he met us in his clinic that day during Yvonne's routine check-up. It has been hard for her to find a comfortable position while Yvonne's is lying down. And just as she is about to get to sleep, she's up again. Why? To use the toilet, that's why.

But there are ways where all pregnant mommies can find a little comfort while sleeping. One of which is by sliding one or two pillows between your legs and at your back. Though you might find it hard getting up to the washroom every while, drinking warm milk, chicken broth or 'sleepy time tea' may help you.

Weighing about 5 - 5 1/2 pounds and approximately 17 inches, baby is growing rapidly. But mommy may find that her weight is 'stabilizing' and there are some mommies that looses one or two pounds. (hmm... are you gaining or loosing weight at this period?) I can say for sure that Yvonne is gaining weight rapidly like our baby does... hahahaha
