Maternity Update | Bed Rest was Not Fun

Last week was a turmoil.

Coming back from Seoul, our delicious vacation - above only shows about one-third of what we ate in four days - followed by several days meeting family and shopping, I went in to meet my OG for the 24 week check.  Baby Roma leg-bone-length (total layman term) and head-size meet the no. of weeks, however, the position of it is a little low in my abdomen (per my understanding).  Although I do not have other signs like bleeding or tummy-cramp (professional term again), my doctor still order me to rest in bed for 3 days.  I do not know if she added this advice as a fellow woman, or as a pro-practitioner, but she said I should avoid "cold" food such as soymilk (it is a Chinese medical concept to distinguish food into "warm" or "cold").

Such prescription meant I stayed home for an extended weekend with minimal walking or sitting and plenty of sleep and iPad activities (I also started with a puzzle we got from the Vatican).  I did sneaked out for breakfasts with Mr. A and to attend mass on Sunday.  But all in all, the 3 (which later turned into 4) days of "imprisonment" were home-bound.

Update 

How far along? 25 weeks.

Total weight gain/measurements: Right before meeting my OG, at 24 weeks, I was 61.7 kg.  I guess I'm over 62 now?  Yes I don't trust the vintage balance we have at home.
