My fren is in her full bloom pregnancy now, anytime now, another new creation will come out into this world. She is in her 40th week and according to the doctor, her baby now weighs around 4.1 kg!! Doc also said that her pelvic bone is not ready yet ... sigh.. Poor young mama, she is so anxious to see her little girl and she feels so "heavy" nowadays...
This afternoon while chatting with her to take away her "blues", we took some pictures, just for rememberance and what her legs are "suffering" at this moment... tell me, mama-s here, do your feet swollen during the later stage of pregnancy? I forgot about mine ... so many decades ago...

baby comfortably "swimming" inside her womb
her poor swollen feet....
poor mama-to-be
my fleshless foot compared to hers...

ReplyDeletea perils a mum to be has to go thru..
I never had swollen feet during my pregnancies... Wait...4.1kg?? *pengsan*
ReplyDeleteHmmm...guess most pregnant women had that experience. That is really sad to see but, she will endure it.
ReplyDeletehaha..pengsan chor... yeah, 4.1 kg according to the gynae.. my fren is almost like dragging her feet.. "baby, oh baby, when r u coming out?"
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the mother to be!
ReplyDeleteYes being pregnant is not easy.. though I have yet to go through it but I really wish it would of been easier... Guys have it easy and the woman have to go through the pain and when the child is out, she still have to do more! pfft! My future husband better help else I throw him out the window! hahaha.
I remembered my feet size went up from size 8 to 9 during the last few months of pregnancy. I can to buy a new pair of sandals otherwise I had no shoes for work. After Ashleigh was born, when I left the hospital, I could not wear the shoes anymore - too big! Yes, feet up, cut down on salt as well.
ReplyDeletewah..ladyviral, so fierce ah? ooopss for yr husband to be, better ask not to play play.. must help help.. yeah, it takes 2 to build up a happy home..
ReplyDeletehi charming mama, thanks for the tips, feet up and less salt.. she didnt know she has to hold up her feet same level with her body.. she told me she just put her feet up on a low stool!! haizzz...
Hats off for all the pregant ladies outthere, remember this"the hands that rock the cradle rule the world"
ReplyDeletehey claire, ur fren eh baby is really keng leh with the weight of 4.1kg !
ReplyDeletefuwah! her foot like kena stung by a bee. i never experience that in all my 4 pregnancies.
ReplyDeletei see her tummy, i feel heavy and tired...fast fast lar explode. lol.
Doc didn't scold? So overweight? No diabetes, no high blood pressure...ok lah! This one's going to have a girl?
ReplyDelete4.1kg in just 40weeks of pregnancy..OMG. But the good things is, they both healthy.. not easy to be a mum.. thanks mum!
ReplyDeleteWow. That's a huge baby. Ryan was only 2.2kg when he arrived on the 34th week. My wife's leg was only slightly swollen towards the final months of pregnancy. Putting her legs up did help. Always salute mommies for the period that they go through during pregnancy. I was with my wife in the delivery room. Was excited, scared and anxious at the same time. But, the moment when Ryan came out, priceless!
ReplyDeletei did experience swollen legs during my pregnancy but not as bad as your friend. i cushioned my legs with a pillow to elevate their level when i sleep at nite but i often end-up with muscle cramps in the morning...:)
ReplyDeleteMichelle, my buddy said her feet look like baby elephant..
ReplyDeleteyes, stp, thank God, no such "frens" such as u mentioned were with her...
c.alv & Daddy Ryan, she is going to have a big baby, yes.. she eats like normal..maybe due both husband and wife's physical appearance.. :) anyway, we pray for smooth delivery for the baby girl...
What a big baby! Gosh...hope she can deliver. Mine not that swollen when i was pregnant. Lucky she has no high blood or pre eclampsia. Good luck to her.
ReplyDeletegosh i remembered how i ballooned up in my pregnancy too... and same thing.. pelvic was too small for delivery so got to go emergency C-section.. but things have a way of working out. tell her don't worry. the man up there takes care of everything.
ReplyDeleteThat's why people said: "heaven there below the mother's feet."
ReplyDeleteOh no, she has edema?
ReplyDeletewow, the baby weighs 4 kilo already? *pengsan*
ReplyDeletewow, the baby weighs 4 kilo already? *pengsan*
ReplyDeleteyeah..barb...the doc said she is...
ReplyDeleteno chubs, she doesnt have edema..what is edema btw?
She suppose to be delivering in 2 weeks time. Ask her to ready. But my baby was overdue for 2 weeks.. Not sure why, maybe he wanted to sleep longer inside there..lol
ReplyDeleteSee my wife leg too in my post: http://khchuang888.blogspot.com/2009/05/leg-pitting-edema-cause-by-pregnancy.html
My gynae told me that my baby weight was 3.5kg but then my boy came out 4.08kg @ normal birth and took me 11 hrs to push him out!!
