Weight Gain

At 35 weeks and found myself OVERWEIGHT is so uncool!
I already took initiative of low carb diet (1 rice only a day)
But at this last trimester,
Im so craving into anything sweets&cheesy!

Ok!Ok! Ill try to control.
I really hope it is just water

I found this chart while googling but forgotten the source!

Weeks Weight gain (Pounds) Weight gain (kgs)

0-10 weeks No weight gain No weight gain
10-14 weeks 3-4 pounds 1.5 kg
14-20 weeks 4-6 pounds 2.5 kgs
20-30 weeks 10-12 pounds 4.5 kgs
30-36 weeks 6 pounds 2.7 kg
36-38 weeks 2 pounds 1.0 kg
38-40 weeks Almost no weight gain Almost no weight gain

Total 25-30 pounds* 12-14 kg

First trimester (0-14 weeks):
In early pregnancy, weight should remain constant (It could sometimes even fall due to lack of appetite and morning sickness). Real weight gain should begin only in the 10th week when the circulating blood volume begins to increase. Food intake will also increase as nausea and vomiting decrease by the 14th week. You must desist from eating wrong types of foods. Many doctors also recommend that you take supplements of vitamin B, iron, calcium and folic acid.

Second trimester (14-30 weeks):
Between the 20th and 30th weeks, you should be gaining approximately 4.5 kg ( or 1 pound a week). If you gain significantly more than 4.5 kgs in these 10, you could be heading for a condition called pre-eclamsia.

Third trimester (30-40 weeks):
Although you are still expected to gain less than 1 pound of weight a week, you may notice a dramatic increase in weight after the 30th week. This increase in weight is due to excessive fluid retention, one of the ills of pregnancy. Limited intake of fluids and salt, and keeping your bed elevated may help mitigate the fluid retention problem.

Weight gain decreases after the 35th week, and stops altogether after the 38th week. Many women even lose weight 7-10 days before labour due to a reduction in hormone levels.

Her first Baby Song - i will sing for her ..

Lyrics:
When the world is gray and bleak
Baby don't you cry
I will give you every bit of love that's in my heart
I will bake it up into a simple little pie�

Baby don't you cry
Gonna make a pie
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle
Baby don't be blue
Gonna make for you
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle.
Gonna be a pie from heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love
Baby don't you cry
Gonna make a pie
And hold you forever in the middle of my heart.

Baby here's the sun
Baby here's the sky
Baby I'm your light and I'm your shelter
Baby you are mine
I could freeze the time
Keep you in my kitchen with me forever
Gonna be a pie from heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love
Baby don't you cry
Gonna make a pie
And hold you forever in the middle of my heart.

Gonna bake a pie from heaven above
Gonna be filled with butterscotch love
Gonna bake a pie from heaven above
Gonna be filled with banana creme love

Baby don't you cry
Gonna bake a pie
Hold you forever
Hold you forever
And hold you forever in the middle of my heart.

Maternity Jeans

A pair of blue jean is a MUST attire in every wardrobe
No excuses to even any pregnant lady!
This is because, nowadays there are many comfy maternity jeans in store
It will make u still look cool & stylo (heheh)

While i was in search of my maternity jeans,
i went to many familiar pregnancy boutiques
eg Modernmum, Mom's Care and Funky Mom
and i finally found it at 9Months boutique.
It is really perfect as it have that faded blue i was looking for,
and it have that size too!

My criteria of 'perfect' maternity jeans :-
1. VERY-VERY Comfy (So i choose 1 larger size of my current fitting)
(Im only 5mths and have another 2-3 months expanding myself)
2. In my budget (Less RM200)
3. That adjustable wasteband

Woohoo... i felt 'chicky mom' already with my blue faded jeans!
