Gak terasa udah 19 minggu berlalu. Mual sudah jarang terjadi. Paling seminggu sekali aja. Itu pun masih kalo pagi doang. Diluar itu sudah biasa aja. Tapi masih gak bisa bau pelembut pakaian dan sabun mandi yang terlalu wangi.

Berat badan de sempat turun 2 kg. Tapi terakhir ke dokter sabtu kmrn, sudah balik modal lagi. Sekarang berat de 58 kg. Alhamdulillah masih ada 4-5 bulan lagi untuk ngejar setoran nambah berat badan 10kg. Sebenarnya de serba salah juga sih, makan terlalu banyak takut bikin baby nya besar. Kalo besar beban punggung de juga semakin berat. Resiko juga semakin besar untuk diri de. Kalo de makan dikit, takut baby nya kurang asupan gizi. Malah jadi khawatir baby nya kenapa-kenapa. Sekarang sih de makan kaya biasa aja deh. Walaupun pingin nya sih makan macem-macem.

Oh iya, kehamilan kali ini de langganan news later dan kalender parenting nya ivillage. Jadi seminggu sekali de dikirimin email tentang perkembangan baby. Isi email minggu ini:

WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH YOU

To your dismay, you may find that heartburn is more likely to occur as your uterus pushes up against your stomach. Because the movement of food through the digestive tract has slowed, nutrients reach the fetus more efficiently — generally within one or two hours after meals. Hang in there. When your baby “drops,” (first-time moms only), usually in the final month of pregnancy, there will be considerably less pressure on your stomach. Eating several smaller meals throughout the day can work well if you are troubled by heartburn. Try not to eat right before bed. Sleep with your upper body slightly elevated. Antacids that contain calcium will provide heartburn relief, as well as this essential nutrient. Be sure to check with your care provider before taking medications such as Pepcid AC or Zantac.

WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH YOUR BABY

At 15 centimeters crown to rump, and weighing eight ounces, your baby is getting big! This week, permanent teeth buds are forming behind the milk teeth buds.

Organs of reproduction are developing rapidly, getting ready to sustain future generations. The uterus is clearly visible in the female and the testes are apparent in the male fetus. If your baby is positioned just right on an ultrasound scan, the tiny penis is easily identifiable. So, if you don’t wish to know the gender of your baby, ask the technician to alert you before your baby’s lower body comes into view.

EATING FOR TWO

Eating healthfully can be a challenge when you’re heading out to a restaurant. Here are some tips:

* If ordering meat, always specify that you’d like it to be cooked medium to well done.
* Steer clear of fried foods. Stick with baked, grilled or poached items — easier on your tummy.
* Order salad as an appetizer. Avoid Caesar salad, which may contain raw egg.
* Avoid eating soft cheeses such as feta, Brie, Camembert, blue-veined varieties or Mexican-style cheese.
* Reconsider ordering a sandwich. Ask the restaurant to heat luncheon meats, deli meats, cold cuts or ready-to-eat meat or poultry until steaming.
* When eating bread, think whole-grain.
* Avoid fish that may not be cooked thoroughly, such as sushi or seared Ahi tuna.
* Order desserts that contain fruit.

Hasil USG kemarin, tulang punggung baby juga udah keliatan loh. Lucu juga deh liat jajaran tulang punggung yang tersusun rapih gitu. Tuhan Maha Besar banget deh. Bisa menciptakan mahluk dengan begitu sempurnanya. Trus….yang bikin ketawa adalah, posisi duduk baby nya dong. Dokter nya nunjuk ke layar monitor “nih liat yah. Ini paha kanan, yang ini paha kiri. Dan apa ditengah-tengahnya? it’s vagina” hehehe. benaran adeknya Rafa cewek. Alhamdulillah jadi sepasang. Wah adeknya Rafa kacaw juga nih, mosok di dalam perut aja udah duduk ngangkang. Gimana entar kalo udah diluar…jangan sampe susah dibedong ajah. hehehe. Apa ini efek karena mamanya ngetop sebagai “putri ojeg”? hihihi bisa juga. Ya maklum aja, sebagai putri ojeg kan de harus bisa duduk dengan lentur. wuihihihi apa coba sih?!@#
