Baby Development at Week 26

Week 26

Your baby weighs almost 2 pounds; measures about 14 inches from head to heel; and hears noises, responds to light, and is generally more aware of its surroundings. In the same way that you can see a flashlight if you hold it against your palm, your baby can see the light coming through your belly. You may notice increased activity when in brighter light and decreased activity in darkened rooms. Its hearing is fully developed, and as he or she reacts to sounds, its pulse increases. Your baby will even move in rhythm to music! (Adapted from PregnancyWeekly)

Its lungs are developing now, too, as it continues to take small breaths of amniotic fluid — good practice for when it's born and takes that first breath of air. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days. (Adapted from BabyCentre)

Antenatal Class 3

Week 25

Today's lesson touch on labour and delivery as well as a recap of the stretching exercises and breathing relaxation. I had a shock upon seeing the videotape cause the labour process looks real scary. Uh...! Mrs Wong gave us a tour of the delivery suites in TMC. Must remember to bring jacket for Ken to keep warm in the freezing ward and a nice cd for myself to relax during contractions.

Antenatal Class 2

Week 24

Today's lesson talks about physiological approach to breathing relaxation, changes in pregnancy leading to signs & symptoms of labour and the alternative types of pain relief in labour.

After the class, Mrs Wong brought us outside the nursery room to show us how she plays with a 2 day old baby. She's so lovely with big round eyes and a crown of shiny black hair.

I've found a link from KK Hospital which talks more about pain relief in labour as well as caring for yourself and your baby after delivery.

Antenatal Class 1

Week 23

Daddy and mummy truly enjoy the class conducted Mrs Wong Boh Boi from TMC. Our class starts at 4:30pm and ends at 7:15pm today. She told us that Daddy's role is to be a supporter, a doula (midwife) as well as our cheerleader. He's great, isn't he?!! We are taught how to communicate with you by playing a tapping and butterfly game on Mummy's tummy.

We are also taught some stretching exercise. This is one of them to strengthen the chest (Mummy's of couse!)
