Last Sunday sandbox brought me to the ultra-sound scan for Week 25.
This doctor also commented that Baby is a boy, as she pointed to us his genital on the screen. Baby's head was at the downward position already. We could see his spine, stomach, hands & feet.
When the doctor used the 4D probe to scan his face, we could see his nose, eyes and mouth vaguely, because the placenta was blocking in front.
Week: 25(gestational & ultra-sound age)
Estimated Fetal Weight (EFW): 815g
Estimated Due Date (EDD): 13 June 2012
As for me, I felt bloated lately. Compared to friends and relatives, I think my tummy is bigger.
I went to the Government Clinic for check up. My hemoglobin count reduced from 10.4 to 9.6. Aicks! Doctor ordered me to take double dose of iron tablets (200mg per tablet) both in the morning and night. But I did not want to take so many and only take 2 tablets every morning, because too many iron tablets will cause constipation. The moment I started taking the iron tablets, my stool turned black! According to Uncle Google, it is a normal symptom for people taking iron tablets. I also stop drinking tea, as it is said to reduce iron absorption.
Baby's movement is getting stronger lately. Sometimes when I felt Baby kicking, I would call sandbox to put his hand on my tummy. Sandbox was thrilled when he could feel Baby moving.
We have started to buy Baby stuff already. Most of the stuff was bought online, such as feeding bottles, sterilizer & warmer, breast pump (hopefully there will be sufficient supply to use this!), and Latex mattress.
Sandbox and I enjoyed shopping at the local stores during the weekend as well. We bought a baby cot, buds head to toe cleanser & nappy change cream, some baby clothes, hat, mittens & booties.
I have been researching on cloth diapers as well. It is more environmental friendly and also healthier for Baby. Maybe I will order some online this weekend =)
