Weight Conscious?

Hmm... I am wondering... Is my baby girl already "weight conscious" even when she's not out into this world yet? Since she has been considered "slim" every time we did the checkup at the gynae clinic...

Recently have been more and more bothered about MY weight and MY growth, cuz my tummy seems to be getting bigger (than ever) and some people commented that I look BIG for this stage. But hey, I am going to be in my 3rd tri next month liao leh... How small can I remain? But some others say my tummy not very big leh.. So confusing comments. It doesn't help the situation much when you have a tall and slim pregnant boss in office, so the comparison of the tummy growth is inevitable. Her tummy, at 5th month, is still barely visible while mine is already so protuding. (Despite that her tummy being not obvious, her baby boy's growth is very good - Already at 470g at 5th month, whereas my baby girl weighs 490g at her 6th month )

Actually I don't mind that I have a big tummy cuz it makes me look more maternal, and I quite like my new protuding tummy. Except that I am not sure if my baby is also growing well, together with my growing tummy...

I just hope my baby will grow well and healthy, and reach a healthy mark on the scale next time we go for the scan.

  5. Hey girl, don't be too worried ya? My tummy is also not very big. Overall, I gained about 7 kg over the 9 months and baby is about 2.5kg at the 36th week. My gynae said it's all right. Healthy baby is more important. :) So don't need to compare with others. The gynae said it varies from person to person. As long as the baby is healthy, it's fine.
