Pregnancy : (still) not gaining weight much

7 August 2006No Comment

>> Went for another check-up and my total weight gain is (… drum rolling …) 7.2kg!

(READ: Over the past 2 weeks, I only gained ONE kg and hey … I really have been napping for at least an hour almost everyday)

>> The baby is now 2.5kg though, which is good for his gestational age.

And so now, I’m kinda telling myself that it’s okay if I’ve only gained 7.2kg so far, because it means by the time the baby’s due, I would have gained at least 9kg (right?), AND the baby would be 3kg at the VERY least (right?).

I would assume too that it’d be easier to deliver this 2nd baby since Anya was 3.97kg (read: the ‘exit way’ is kinda well prepared for baby no.2. Hehe.)

Aaaaannyway, did you know that one of my sis (I have 3 older sisters) gained a total of 14kg (her first daughter was 3.99kg) AND then, when she got pregnant the 2nd time, she gained only 7kg! (the baby was 3.89kg!)

And oh, quite a few people also told me that the 2nd time we get pregnant, we usually gain ‘not as much as the 1st time’ because we’re busy with the 1st kid.

Oh well … just trying to cheer myself up with some facts here …
