Hi gals ..

i had my 24 weeks doc check-up yesterday, it went Ok .. i ahve gained ~7 pounds ...!!! so i was alittle in shock..but overall till now, i have gained ~13 pounds and ,my gyn said that is ok as long as i do not gain another 7 pounds in this month ..!!! need to watch all the desserts/fried food i am eating ... :( ...

other than that, my doc measured the fundal height, as ususla saw the hb and advised me on what classes she would like me to take ..... i am enrolled for essentials of childbirth class after that , to basically get an understanding of the delivery terms, breathing exercises ,c-section, etc....

i also have GD test scheduled for my next visit ..time is sure flying fast ...

that's abt it from my side .... waiting to hear from all of you :)

Take care ,

as usual great to hear from all of you ... :)

Leo, yep, actually as what blessed_mom said , i am not too sure hw much of this we will apply when we are in labor, but my gyn felt that atleast i should know all the terms ..and have enough info so that we can make decsions quickly on waht we want to do if conditions arise during the labor ..sounds scary but though it made sense since specially here in US ..... the brunt of the decsions will be on us .... also she said we can discuss on birthign optios early on if i have soem knowledge of the options .. my mom will be coming for my delivery .. i am really looking forward to that .... :)

hey Ritu , well my 'angel' is kicking everywhere nowadays :) .... i also feel movements low sometimes, i asked my doc and she said since the baby is moving that is expected ..... specially when i get abck home from work and finally settle in the couch, that is when she gets all active and starts kicking around ... and poor girl, she also gets hiccups ..LOL ...it really makes my day and all the tiredness i feel goes in a moment .. :)

blessed_mom, yep i also have my doubts abt lamaze but a couple of my friends did say it helped them and since it was part of the comprehensive class i am interested in, i would be attending it anyway ....as i said , i want to know ore abt the pregnancy terms to make me bette rprepared ...
good luck for your appt on Sept 6 and keep us updated :)

golden .. u know, my doc asked me to stay away from desserts and i am trying my best to ..though my colleagues want to pamper me at work and keep bringing cakes and fired indian snacks to my cube :( ..!!!


Poppins, i have been gaining weight since my 12th week appt , but i did not ahve serious morning sickness problems at all .... i guess as long as ur baby is on schedule , you should be fine ..... but i am sure you will soon start gaining those pounds as the baby starts putting its fat layers ...

Naina , yep i agree with you .. ia slo feel so lazy , i have to drag myself out for a walk everyday .... but i am forcing myself to do that as everyone says it is better for the baby and you t be active and i spend ~9 hours in the day in front of a computer and another 9 hours sleeping, so not much time to be active :) :) ..so are u getting all geared up for your India trip ??

anyway , that's abt it from my side ...
all of u , take care and keep posting ...

Great to know that u and ur little one are doing good.

Regarding weight gain, me too had gained abt 3kgs in this last one month!!! :(...And till now my wt gain is 10 kgs. Iam really worried abt it. If it goes on like this i dont know what would be my state by the time the baby is due.
Here iam leading a really lazy lifestyle, not doing any exercise & sleeping when ever i feel like. This cud be the reason for my alarming wt gain. :(...I hope that once iam in India, i can have a control on it.

Ok thats all ..
Take care
Naina poppins replied. Hey,

I am writing here after a long time though i read this forum almost everyday. I am happy to know that u really gained good weight and your baby is doing well.
I am sure you are going to become very busy in the comming weeks with your classes and stuff.
I am in my 21st week and effectively gained no weight till now:( . So my question to you is when did u start gaining pounds. I had actually lost 2 kgs in my 2nd month and am still regaining the lost weight. Well my monthly USG's tell that the baby is doing good. I have my next appointment on 21st Aug.
Wish you a very healthy pregnancy.

golden blessed_mom replied. Hello P,

glad to know that everything is fine :). So when are you starting your Lamez classes? I am still in dielemma whether to enroll or not as I heard from pple that in that moment when we are actually undergoing labour pains, it is not at all possible to implement these breathing techniques etc...so they said they really didn't find these classes useful. Is it true? what did you heard about these classes? I have my appointment on Sep 6th.

I am doing fine..and this time I actually had weight gain and i'm on track:). Ok then..take care.

Regards,
blessed_mom
ritu replied. Hi P,
its very good that everything is going well.Yeah 7lb in a month is too much but your overall weight gain is ok than no problem.But i think u should keep an eye on your weight gain.
So how is ur little angle doing?Which side do u feel baby movements more?Still i feel very low specially when i am lying on the side.
Good luck for ur GD test.My next appointment is on 24thAug.
take care
ritu Leo replied. Good that things are fine at your end. Its good to attend such classes as we will be a little bit prepared:)) Also if u find time try watching Baby Story on TLC and Birthday on Discovery Health Channel. It is informative though one can never be prepared when the moment arrives. Btb are ur parents coming down to help you.

Good luck with ur GD test.

I have my next appointment only on Sep6th, will update then.

Take Care and love to ur little angel,
Leo
