Hello friends

Met my doctor today for the monthly appointment.Things seem to be fine.After having lost 5 pounds in the first trimester, I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight.Have to now catch up on the weight.The docotr didn' t seem to be concerned about the less weight gain so far.Just asked me to continue eating normally.I am in the 22nd week.Movements of the baby are very strong now.Most of you must have started feeling them.I am still fitting into 4 of my pre-pregnancy pants even though I look quite pregnant! I have been regularly excersing too.Going for long walks and doing stretching exercises.

I will be taking my glucose test in 2 weeks time.The doctor didn' t specifically mention that I should fast before that and I forget whether I fasted in my first pregnancy.What are you guys going to do?

We had a wonderful vacation in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.The sun and sand reaaly relaxed us and my son enjoyed the trip the most.My parents are coming tomorrow for a month.So, very excited about seeing them.

Cheers

Nice to read your update...
I am still in 19th week..so long way to catch up :)


Its really surprising to know that you are still fitting into your pre-pregnancy pants....I think you are maintaining yourself very well..

What kind of excercises are you doing?? For how many mins are you walking? Is it slow walk or brisk...
Please do share..

Ok then bye bye
Have a great time with your parents...

take care
luv

I wrote a big reply to your messages about weight .. but this website is not allowing me to post -( My glucose test will be in 28th week. Right now i am 22 nd week. I have started feeling those wiggly feelings... kind of makes me giggle.. i am trying to control that in public places..if not others might think something is wrong with me..
Sandhya.. have a good time with your parents..

Rose Rakhi replied. hi sandhya,
seeing u after a long time! good to know that everyhting is going on fine.

i' m in my 23wk now and i too can feel the movements very clearly now. have u started monitoring them or is it too early for that? its surprising that u can still fit in some of ur pre preganncy clothes..for me..none of them fit me now!

i had my mnthly appt 2 days ago but my doc didnt mention when i will be having my glucose test. regarding fasting, i think u shud call the nurse and check with her to be on the safe side.

hmm..so u had a wonderful vacation :) nice to know that u guys enjoyed. ya i can understand ur excitement n i' m sure u must be looking forward to meeting ur parents. have a good time with them.

take care
rakhi
