Who's That Baby?
Who are you, baby
newly born
What are you thinking
inside that head
and what do you dream
when you go to bed?
And what will you look like
and will you have hair
and will you be tall
or dark or fair?
And what will you wonder
and what will you cause tears
and what will you feel
and think and fear?
Who are you, baby

False Alarm
I had a fright this morning at 3am, I woke up having some stomach pain thinking maybe got to poo but went 3 times to no avail. The pain made me so scared and worried and I can't tell if it's contractions or not. Luckily, it lasted 3 hours and subsided at 5 plus. I'm so at a loss. Funny thing is I woke up to search for the topic Labour Pain in "What to expect when you are expecting?" yet still can't figure it out. Woke Ken up at 4.15am and told him I've been having stomachache for an hour plus now, he too went to search for the book and read to me what contractions feel like. I even read the contents to him before he reads out to me. Ha ha. We are so funny. Two silly parents. Late afternoon till evening, I've been feeling braxton hicks a few times. But I told baby to bear another 3 weeks if he really wants to pop out lor. Mummy wants him to pump more fats first.

Week 33
Ah Boy's head was engaged already at Week 31. During the gynae appointment at Week 33 Fri, Dr Teo conducted a Group B Streptococci test (GBS) swap test for me, a common bacteria screening. This is a bacteria naturally found in the digestive tract and birth canal of 1 in 4 pregnant women. If not diagnosed and treated properly, the little one is more susceptible to serious health complications (including meningitis, pneumonia and blood infection). I got my result on Wed and was tested positive for this bacteria and had to take antibiotics for 5 consecutive days.

Antenatal Class 5
Week 30
Today's lesson touches on the breastfeeding and bottlefeeding. Very useful breastfeeding tips from KK Hospital.
Tummy has expanded by 1.5 inch in a week! I've been feeling Braxton Hicks these few days. The whole abdomen will harden for less than 30 seconds. I'm a bit worried so keep telling ah boy to be patient and put on more fats, daddy and mummy will only want to see him in 8 to 10 weeks time.
