16th week starts today.
Have gained 5 kilos.
Midwife says that since I was slim (not anymore), my bones were not used to carrying weight and hence they complain, hence the back pain. Prescribed to go for physio.
Gender of the baby should be detectable in ultrasound scan. As in certain counties in UK, which includes ours, the gender is not revealed to the parents, we have to go for a private scan if we want to know. We are not going for private scan at this time.
Not as active as I was before pregnancy, but certainly far better than how I was during the first trimester. I guess when they say second trimester is the period to enjoy, they say it in relative terms.
They say the child can hear from this week.
I am also warned that I might feel the kick in about couple of weeks or even earlier.
I am alarmed by my weight increase. Tempted to control a bit. But when the craving for food strikes, my wanting-to-control goes down the drain. Hope I will be able to regain my control after the delivery. I do not like being fat.
