32 weeks and shortness of breath

I'm alone this week, husband is away, and for some reason, i'm not feeling as good as my previous pregnancy weeks, just the other day, i was cooking and i felt like my head was light, and as though it was swaying left and right, i was so afraid i would drop the hot pan on myself, i just left the pan and sat down, I had cold sweat, and wasn't sure what was happening. Quickly made myself a cold sweet drink. (thinking am low in sugar or something)

this passed few days, i'm having difficulty catching my breath, it's really uncomfortable, and i Googled (yes, thanks to google, again) and all pregnant woman says it's normal, because the baby is growing and taking up more space, and needing more oxygen too.

And it usually happens after a meal, so i need to remember, no more 'normal' size meals, i need to only snack. and also, to sit up straight so my lungs and take in more oxygen..

Last night when the baby was moving so so so much, like drums beating away, swirled, kicked.. etc.. again, it made me feel sick and couldn't breathe, immediately i just head for the bed and lie down.

It's true, 3rd trimester is not easy. 1st trimester was traumatizing because of all the spotting, and not knowing what to expect, 2nd was the easiest, (that's when the doctor told me to enjoy my pregnancy), 3rd i'm feeling tired easily, don't feel like doing anything, shortness of breath, the occasionally feeling sick in the car, always feeling HOT HOT HOT, and SWEAT SWEAT SWEAT.. and not knowing the exact arrival date of the baby!

I thought i was emotionally strong and can be alone this week, but i truly miss my husband. I can't wait for him to be next to me again. :~(

21st June 2012 - 32 weeks and a doctor's visit

We always look forward for doctor's visit. We go for a meal together, then wait for our turn to see the doctor, and Dr. Ravi never fails to greet us (or any of his patient, i believe) with a BIG SMILE, and a loud and sincere HELLO- HOW ARE YOU?

I noticed baby always moved alot on the way to the hospital, and once i'm there, baby will stop moving.. and this round, he or she was looking down, and shy away from all of us, not showing the face at all.. so we only managed to scan the head and the heart.. which of course is the most important.

So Dr. Ravi didn't print any scans for us today.. which i was also looking forward for it..

My sugar and protein level is normal. (phew). my weight today is 57.9kg. and baby's estimated weight is 1.6kg.

People always say.. for 7 months pregnant, your tummy is SMALL.. so i asked the Dr. and he checked with all the scans and results, and plot it in the baby's growth chart.. and said.. There's nothing to worry about.. baby growing perfectly fine.. :)

From today onwards, my doctor's visit is no longer once a month, it's every 2 weeks, so my next appointment is on the 4th of July! and again, for the first time, my husband won't be able to join me for the doctor's visit. Dr. Ravi said, he is going to do some swab and a blood test for my 34 weeks check up.

*gulp*
