First Antenatal Class (29th week)
I know I’ve not been blogging for a while. Eng has been very busy at work and at the same time, we have been busy packing our stuffs in preparation to move to another residence within the locality. However, I managed to take some time-off today to attend my first antenatal class. There were around 20 expectant mums, all due sometime in Dec/Jan and I’m one of the last few who will due in Feb. It was quite fun to be in a gathering of preggies, when you get to see bumps in all shapes and sizes 
There were so much information to be delivered in a 2 hour session. Today, we were educated about the stages of labour. I’ve read quite a lot about it from the net but sometimes the more you know and discuss (information overload), the more panicky you would become. I know it’s a little too early to start panicking but hey, I’m only 11 weeks away from D-Day! Now that I’m in my final trimester, I think I did encounter Braxton-Hicks for the very first time yesterday. It’s a pre-labour, painless contraction that is preparing the body for delivery. You can call it a delivery trial-run. I’m also getting upper back pain and according to my friend, that’s because the baby is pressing against some of the organs (could be stomach) and that sets pressure on the back. Towards the end of the trimester, the pain should go off but will reside at the lower back instead…never ending pain! Nevertheless, worth it 
Congrats Eng Hui and Melissa
I haven’t been to your blog for quite a while and so happen i was browsing it today. Nothing to do these few days, just at home, starting my new job tomorrow.
