I am now at my 24 weeks. Last Thu i went for my routine check up plus a special GTT (glucose tolerance test). It is not a requirement unless there has been family history of diabetes.
I had to fast the night before the test, easy easy for me...just slept through it but the hardest part was when i woke up in the morning dying for my usual glass of milk. Pa Pa mui teased me and kept asking me what i want for breakfast. That too..not a problem, as i told myself i better dont sabotage this test else i have to do it all over again.
First test was done at 8.45am, blood sample was drawn. Then i was given a cup of glucose to drink....it was SUPERB sweet, in fact it was unbearable to swallow. Pa Pa mui was telling me that my appetite for the day should be gone now since i have to finish a good 150ml of that glucose solution. YUCKY!! And was told that i have to go back at 11am to have the 2nd blood test and NO food still....(yeah...like i need food after all that glucose).
While waiting, we went for our ultrasound scan. It has been a month since we last saw baby mui. He has grown bigger now, approximately 774gm and the water bag seems to be getting smaller for him.
He is also kicking MORE now, in fact now he is starting to response to pa pa mui now as he has started reading to baby mui.
