I went to see my OB yesterday for my regular scanning and checkup. For the past 2 months my appointments were on a 2-weeks basis but as I’m now in my final month of pregnancy, I’m scheduled for weekly checkups from now.

The day before my appointment, I had to take 3 glucometer readings before meals as instructed by my OB. My sugar level in my blood and urine tested normal. It means my sugar level can be controlled by maintaining a diet of less carbs and sugary stuff, much to my relieve.

Baby is doing fine. I complained about sensations of menstrual pain occasionally. My OB says this is normal and are signs of the baby engaging. Baby’s weight is 2.6kg which is average according to the charts. Everything’s normal, thank god.

As for me, I’m really feeling the strain in the final month of pregnancy. My back and hips hurts especially after sitting or lying down for a while. My bladder feel like bursting sometimes. Not to mention the occasional uncomfortable bloating in my tummy. I’m also feeling hot all the time. It was usual for my husband to complain feeling warm in an air-conditioned room but these days I’m the one doing so.
