Mini Rain is weighing at 2.9kg (+/- 430g). Dr Hii did High Vaginal Swab Test today. High Vaginal Swab (HVS) is a technique used in Obstetrics and Gynaecology to obtain a sample of discharge from the vagina. This is then sent for culture and sensitivity. It is commonly used to test for the presence of candidiasis infection,  bacterial  vaginosis and trichomonas vaginalis. Total Damage: S$107 (HVS $100 + GST) (From now onwards, i need to visit Dr Hii for check-ups every week as this is the last month of pregnancy already) After my check up with Dr Hii, I went to Madam Partum by Chien Chi Tow to try their Prenatal massage as my back is aching badly. Prenatal Massage 60 mins @ $83.45 nett . Soothing. That i actually dozed off a little during the massage. However, comparing this massage to Spa Symphony's Gina's, i still prefer Gina's Prenatal massage skills. I planned to engage her Postnatal massage after my delivery. Will share more info about it when i started...

How's your third trimester been? Well for me... Maternity shoot (recommended between 30-34 weeks), lower back aches, upper inner thighs ache, groin aches, tailbone pain, difficulty turning in bed or getting up from bed, difficulty wearing pants while standing, bird's nests, fresh young coconut juice, more rest, more sleep, less outings, less walking and standing, preparation of nursery!! When you're into the third trimester, you would tend to countdown the weeks left towards your EDD (Expected Due Date).  I'm having the mixed feeling of happiness, excitement, nervousness, and anxiousness. I feel so gan jiong (tense) especially when my baby's nursery isn't completely ready for her arrival. I came to realise that " pregnancy brain " is kinda true. It's when you've become more forgetful than your pre-pregnancy stage. So I'd suggest to moms-to-be out there, it may be useful to have a "Baby Registry Checklist" or "Newbor...

My princess is weighing about 2.5kg (+/- 370g) today! Counting down. 6 more weeks. Mini Rain is gaining weight tremendously. And so is my growing belly. Pelvic ache. Inner thighs ache. Back ache. But i still enjoy how this little joy keeps kocking, moving, and being active inside me. It's just so amazing...

The Old Wives' Tales These were my pregnancy symptoms before 16 weeks. And it turned out to be a GIRL! Dr Ramzi's Method Have you heard of the Ramzi's Method on Baby Gender Prediction? Ramzi's Method: Find Out the Sex of Your Baby at 1st Ultrasound Here's a short breakdown/explanation of the Ramzi Method: In using this data, Dr. Ramzi Ismail concluded that at six weeks gestation, 97.2% of the male fetuses had a placenta or chorionic villi on the right side of the uterus. When it came to female fetuses, there were 97.5% of the chorionic villi or placenta on the left side of the uterus. PS: Do not confuse the "left" and "right" of the ultrasound scan. By looking at your baby's ultrasound scan, what you see on the left, is actually on the right side of your uterus. And what you see on the right side of the ultrasound scan, is actually on the left side of your uterus. Still confused? Place the ultrasound scan on your abdomen, fa...
