26wks 6days

My bbs are of a corn's length now according to the web though sonographer didn't give us measurements.

But I was told of their weight at 26weeks check up. Both are at 770+g with a 1.4% difference. Both are doing good. And they had each gained 200+g since last check up at 24wks.

You don't know how relieved I am whenever the sonographer say bbs are doing good and all I need is to wait for the duty doctor to give me the details but at least while waiting for duty doctor (which is usually a long wait) I'm quite at peace.

The funny thing is, I lost weight. Not much though at 200g but was a bit panicky since they will take my weight 1st then scan the bbs. I was wondering whether my boys are gaining enough. Luckily, they did absorb what I ate.

So the 2kg I gained till now is all the bbs and water bag weight. Thank god for it and hope it stays this way. Not that I intentionally curb my diet or anything but juz didn't gain much. But I guess is partly due to eating healthily now that I'm eating mummy's home cook food. She watches like an eagle on my diet. Don't think she was this strict with herself when she had us.

Still I can feel my appetite increasing when we hit 26wks. So I reckon the next check will see a huge jump in the numbers and hope bbs can absorb as well as they did all along.

Went for OGTT too and it was torturing. Had to fast from 12am from the night before with no food and drink. Then took a tube of blood at 8.50am. It was actually scheduled for 8.30am and I reached at 8am. Dunno why they drag 20mins for the scheduled test.

Then was made to drink a super sweet (yucky) glucose drink which I'm suppose to finish in 5-10min. For a long time, I didnt drink sweet drinks especially so after I got pregnant. And so the glucose drink was a shock to my taste buds. Nurse allowed a little sip of warm water to wash down the taste.

The next test is 2hrs later at 10.50am which is to determine how I will react to the glucose drink. Am not suppose to eat and drink within this time frame too. I saw some mummies to be posting that they vomit out the drink after that and need retest and was stress bout it.

Nurse also instruct me to go straight back to them should I vomit out the drink. Was praying hard that I wouldn't. I did feel nauseas at some point but feel that it was due to hunger. Bbs are kicking around by 10.30am. Keep whispering to them that we will soon take brunch after the blood test.

We only start our 1st meal at 11am and by then I don't dare to stuff myself too full. Hopefully need not go through it again since its hard for pregnant ladies to curb their hunger.

Till today, we have not hear from hospital on the results and I hope no news is good news since friends told me that hospital will call should the results turn out bad. Else I can review the results when I'm due for the next check up at 28wks.

Praying hard that everything will be smooth from now till bbs' scheduled birth in Feb 16.
