Today was my 28 week check-up. I can’t believe that I am officially in my final trimester. Although most of the prep for the baby’s arrival has been done, I don’t feel prepared at all!
Baby is still in a breech position but my OB isn’t worried about it to much as he said there is still plenty of time to turn. Baby is now 47.5cm in length and weighs 1.44kg which is on the high side of the normal range, but he is definitely strong and healthy.
As for me I have lost 0.5kg which is no doubt from all the Christmas pushing and shoving at the shopping centre (definitely not from watching what I’m eating!). Tomorrow I have the dreaded GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test), meaning fasting from 10pm tonight and 2 hours tomorrow morning sitting around drinking glucose liquid and having blood tests. Yuck! Fingers crossed that it will be in the normal range and I won’t have to finish my pregnancy on a restricted diet.
So far I haven’t found the heat too bad. WA hasn’t been too hot and for every hot day I plan on staying home and hibernating. I’m not looking forward to Feb which will be a scorcher if the past is anything to go by, which is why I want everything done by then. Besides dealing with the heat I am going well, back to being tired and some heartburn but other than that I’m just taking it easy, lying down and reading since sitting has become quite uncomfortable.
