I got the results of my blood tests yesterday. I'm happy to say that I'm diabetes and thalassemia free! Yay!
However, this doesn't mean that I can indulge as much sweets as I want. I still have to keep them in moderation. I don't plan to eat too much though and I still keep away from softdrinks and iced teas. At least I can have my favourite fruit shakes now. Mwah mwah mwah. I missed you, my mango shake.
The low hemoglobin in my blood was due to iron deficiency. After I finish my folic acid, my doctor already prescribed other pre-natal vitamins, one which has iron. She also told me to take fish oil which supposedly will make the baby smarter.
My next ultrasound will be on my 24th week. By then, we'll know my baby's gender. That's hmmm..11 weeks or 3 months from now. Leo wants to get a 4-D ultrasound but we'll see.
In the meantime, I'll enjoy the rest of my 2nd trimester.

GOOD GIRL!!! Praise God for the blessings! Don't you like to ask your doctor about the prenatal vitamins I gave you? those are alot and had DHA which is also good for the babies, eyes and brain development. And those prenatal vit has stool softner which is vital when you take your iron pills. Iron pills makes you constipated sis, fyi lang.
o yeah!!! enjoy your 2nd tri....its the best i tell you. cherish the moment :)
naku when you have that 4D UTZ...matutuwa ka ng husto at sobrang maeexcite kang makita na si baby. why not try it when you have the money right? when i left PI I think yung 4D dyan eh nasa P15-20k na. and it's offered to some hospitals only. I dont know ngayon siguro bumaba kase yung supply eh tumaas na. malamang maraming hospitals na meron nun. what do you think?
live healthy!
fish oil... for a smarter baby....sus naman sis pareho na kayong smart ni kuya leo ewan ko nalang kung hindi pa maging smart yung baby nyo....
Fantastic news Sunshine. I take regular fish oil capsules as well and I have good memory but in your case I think your baby will definitely be smart because the baby has double whammy of smart genes--you and Leo's!!!
