Re: Moms 2012- 2013
^ I think I read somewhere about it, I wish I could give you the exact info. My wild guess could be, it should have added about 5-7 kg to you or anyone in 24th week, in total. should be about 10-12 kg in total of your pregnancy (i think).
btw, aint the twenties of the preg weeks just so wonderful. your early fears are over, your body is more accustomed and baby friendly, and the erhm erhm difficult part is yet to come 
Re: Moms 2012- 2013

I really need to know the gender so that I can start planning and shopping 
Re: Moms 2012- 2013

Re: Moms 2012- 2013
as much as its a little sad to read that the 24 weeks olds cannot really do somersault or cartwheels anymore, http://www.i-am-pregnant.com/Pregnancy/calendar/week/24
I know they do have learnt to revolt and express their displeasure when the mom is on either of the sides they dont like, well mine does 
Bless bless the little souls

Re: Moms 2012- 2013
Oh I am getting awful heartburn tonight, from past experience I know nothing helps it, not milk or that chalky white medicine they give
:(
I just ate some ice cream it seems to have given slight relief but not sure how long for.
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
Which month are you, mrs nm?
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
I am 27 weeks today and it's only going to get worse!!!
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
husband and I considered a little holiday close by , but then I chickened out of the idea. I feel safer being in my home and just dont have the guts to go anywhere these days ... I feel bad for stopping myself but .. :(
Ladies , I am in my 24th week too , how much weight gain is expected around this time of pregnancy?
we went for babymoon right around 20 weeks and LOVED it! Probably that was the only week I didnt throw up or actually slept through the night.. as soon as we came back, I had herniated my disk and sleep was out of the window!
I gained most of my weight during second trimester, 16 out of total 24 pounds was gained during those 3 months! but then I had also lost 5-6 pounds in the first trimester so it was very much needed! so yep now is the time!!
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
eating does become a problem in this phase, same with me as well but then there must be some solution to it too. like increased intake of liquids or a fruit after every meal (?)

I've had heartburn from around 20 weeks...I'm at 37 now...and it's vicious. Some tips that have helped me though: spoonfuls of yogurt at night really help.
When you eat your meals, don't drink fluids 15 mins before the meal, and 15 mins after the meal...as well as during the meal. Fluids distend the stomach and that makes it easier for acid to travel back up the esophagus.
You'll be able to eat decent-sized meals right now, but as you go later in pregnancy a single bite will make you feel full. Get into the habit of eating small meals occasionally throughout the day.
Fried, fatty and sweet foods are heartburn triggers. Fruit is awesome - just make sure it's not a citrus. Oranges/lemons etc cause terrible heartburn. Oh and orange juice SUCKS! It's killer for heartburn.
Don't lie down until at least an hour after eating a meal. In fact, try to walk around a bit.
POSTURE! Sit upright as much as you can, slouching helps heartburn.
That's all I can think of right now...but a lot of those tips really helped me.
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
I have gained 5Kg so far and am scared already that i might be balooning up a bit too much .. this entire thing cant be the baby weight , can it? 
Re: Moms 2012- 2013

Re: Moms 2012- 2013

I am sure you are not eating right. 
Re: Moms 2012- 2013

pre-pregnancy weight was 50kg
weight at the time of delivery 72kg!!!
weight right after delivery 58 kgs!
i gained 5kg in my last month as i was craving for desserts!
but you should gain 12kgs/25-35lbs throughout your pregnancy!
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
O.O
Really does one gain so much weight during pregnancy? I don't know which is worse not eating enough, eating too much or eating strange food to induce labor.
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
^kakee i think i m the only one who gained so much as far as i rememberā¦
i ate lots of meethas,halwas made in desi ghee,parathas made in desi gheeā¦but i dont know if desi ghee helped me in deliveringā¦
my babyās birthweight was almost 4kgs and placenta was 2kgsā¦
iām 53kgs nowā¦lost those 5kgs because of breastfeeding i guessā¦
Re: Moms 2012- 2013

I swear you could gain weight just by looking at it!
Ladies when you cook you should use Coconut oil because there are so many benefits!
Benefits of Coconut Oil
I know Iām making myself out to be such a health freak on Parenting but I swear Iām not. I just know these little bits of information because of my mom.
