14 Dec 15: Happy news for me!!

I'm now 16 weeks into my 2nd pregnancy and happy to know that I'm having a boy. We have already decided on his English name but shall only disclose when he is born. Oscar scan & test is also negative, like 1:8000 chances of getting it. I really hope that this is as accurate as it is. :)

This pregnancy is very very different as compared to when I had Inez. While having Inez, the whole pregnancy was so smooth that I didnt feel I was pregnant until I was at my third trimester, when the typical symptoms like waking up in the middle of the night for the toilet or to have some snacks because i woke up hungry, my legs were cramping and swollen due to water retention, and my shoe size became a size larger then it was and still is, carpal tunnel syndrome, gestational diabetes and high blood pressure kick in etc..

Also, I only gained 5kg throughout my pregnancy and when Inez was out, my weight when back to the original. She weighed 3.55kg, so the rest i assume is the from the water bag and placenta.

As for this pregnancy, typical symptoms like nauseousness, headaches, hungry all the time, carpal tunnel syndrome, high BP started already during the first trimester. I'm hungry every 2 hours and thank goodness, I've not gain weight. Phew.. I can only gain a maximum of 7kg throughout and so far, my weight has been up and down. Still below 80kg. Blood sugar is still under the normal range, which means I can skip the GTT test for now.

Happy waiting for my little son :)
