Photo was taken on 28th Jan 2012, with BB around 32 weeks. Mummy weight at this time remain stable with 62kg. No more linear or exponential increment like 2nd trimester! But baby is growing up, with 2kg at his 32 weeks. Still need to catch up a bit...I had started to apply lotion since the 1st day i was pregnant... try not to leave any stretch mark when tummy getting bigger. Everything seems smooth until 7 months of pregnancy. Still remember when i was admitted to hospital due to preterm contraction, nurse also told me that my stomach looks so nice without any marks!! Then i was adviced not to apply any lotion, as constantly touching the tummy will stimulate the contraction.
Well, after stopping the lotion, and with baby growing tremendously... during 7-8 months pregnancy, i started to see those marks!! It is not really stretch marks, but more like "ocheh" marks at side of my tummy! I guess, it was due to bb kicking inside and causing bruise? Some key learning to new mummy - if you apply lotion, remember to apply the side of the tummy too! This is the place that i missed out... i tot the tummy will only growing bigger at front... but in fact, during late pregnancy, baby will start to grow at the side of the tummy :)
This is the front view of 8th month pregnancy... looks small still? Hehe... Oh ya, forgot to mention that, i am still on MC now. Already one month not going to work. Doc said, will need to be at home resting, until my delivery date. Year 2012, a year that i have not started work in office :p
