I’ve been very happy and relieved to know that LBJ has continued to stay head down since Week 27. But at this moment, he is still facing forward in the posterior position. I hope during delivery, LBJ would be a good boy and turn 180 degrees for his Mommy Posterior Position The baby goes down [...]

It is such a shame that I did not record when I first felt LBJ hiccuped. I think it was as early as when I first felt him moved. The feeling is very different from his aerobatic stunts, and are consistently in rhythm. Why do babies hiccups in the womb? Only the more mature fetuses [...]

Just like our 1st antenatal check-up months ago, today we waited a good 2 hours for Dr Tan because he had 2 deliveries back to back earlier at noon. The poor man didn’t get to have his lunch — until it was 4pm — after he had cleared all his morning appointments. Then immediately he [...]

How time flies! Yesterday was already our 6th antenatal check-up with Dr Tan Lay Seng at Gleneagles. I always enjoy our appointments with him, even though we need to wait an hour or sometimes more just to see him each time Dr Tan always has a smiley face on. But yesterday he was in a [...]

Week 27 The goodness of Coconut Water for pregnant women seems too good to be true. I wonder if I knew about it earlier, would it have helped me battled my nausea, vomiting and heartburn *hmm* Sardines is one of the Top 7 Super Food for Pregnant Women. They are rich in Omega 3 Fatty [...]

If we were to draw a 3D graphic of LBJ now, he’ll probably look like this baby — head down, facing right with a thumb in his mouth ♥ 30 Weeks 6 Days LBJ in his Glorious Nakedness Earlier we didn’t get an ultrasound print from Dr Tan, because LBJ has gotten too big for [...]

On the night before, the husband and I did something really amazing. Or should I say, LBJ did something really amazing! Let there be Light! At 30 weeks, your baby can distinguish light from dark and even track a light source. If you shine a light on your stomach, your baby may move his head [...]

The first time we saw LBJ on the ultrasound screen, he was a tiny seed measuring at 5mm. Since the last antenatal check-up, he has already outgrown the screen. So we can only guess that he is about 38cm to date ♥ Can you spot LBJ’s spine? Babies are born with 300-350 bones! I’m very [...]

Your baby should be measuring about 38cm or more from top to toe. He weighs in at about 1kg and you would have gained about 8-11kg. By now he has already opened his eyes. If he notices a bright light shining from outside, he would turn towards it. He would blink and may even use [...]
