Doctor's visit at 31 weeks!

I know, I can't believe I'm already 31 weeks preggie! 

We had our routine doctor's appointment yesterday. Had myself weighed and I'm 61.2kg now, gaining about 1.4kg. Thank goodness I didn't hit 2kg! 

When Dr Heng saw my preggie bump, she kinda exclaimed 'why so small!' and to be honest, my heart kinda sank at her words. I've been receiving quite a lot of such comments from my colleagues who see me the most. But I felt much better when she did the ultra scan and checked baby's weight. Our baby girl weighed 1.6kg which was a good weight according to her. I asked her about the expected weight when baby's full term and she estimated about 2.8 to 3kg which is fine and not difficult to deliver. She may even be heavier if baby pops later! 

Also did a blood test (nurse just did those finger prick procedure) and vaginal swab test. Oh man the latter procedure was so uncomfortable! It made me wonder how much more uncomfy delivering would be. Anyways, my blood test result wasn't too ideal =( apparently my iron levels dipped and I gotta start eating iron tablets! The doctor didn't say that it's something very alarming so I'm hoping it's not that serious. Gotta start eating more iron rich foods! 

Gonna see doctor in three weeks time next! 

Here's the latest ultrasound and baby bump pics!
