Week 29 - The size of a butternut pumpkin



The gynae is concerned that our baby is considered big compared to average. She’s at least 100g heavier than the normal range. She is particularly concerned especially since Sel has been gaining a little too much weight and she has a family history of diabetes.


Sel had done the 2 hours post prandial test to screen for gestational diabetes first thing this morning. The test requires her to fast (no food and water) from 12.00am the day before and to finish a bottle of the glucose drink 2 hours prior to the test. We’re hoping that that she passes the test but we’ll only know the result later this week. Even then, the gynae has advised to improve her diet by eating lesser carbohydrates and more protein.


On a lighter note, we are both amused to see that baby has hair now.
