Weight Gain

Last visit to gynaecologist's was quite stressing. She nagged at me for gaining 6 lb in three weeks. She believed that weekly gain should be 1 lb max and warned that those extra pounds would hamper in labour.

Frustrated, I called another doctor who said that an average woman gained up to 35 lb during pregnancy and I had nothing to worry about. What a relief!

I also googled how much weight I should gain. There goes the answer:

Based on your pre-pregnancy body size, a healthy weight gain to aim for is:

- Underweight - gain 28-39lb
- Normal - gain 25-35lb
- Overweight - gain 15-25lb
- Very overweight - gain at least 15 lb


info on weight gain is from Pregnancy & Birth magazine

wtf?... I need advice

I loaded my blogger "Reading list" and that was what I read:

I am following a lot of blogs! Is it some current error? Won't I be able to read blogger-friends' updates on my Blogger Dashboard any longer? Or am I just stupid and have to press some button somewhere to see your recent posts again?

Are you up yet?

Got inspired by my and working girl’s post about morning routine and tried to figure out how not to be late. Thanks to the best browser ever and the cutest site I came up with the following list:

1. Do the maths
Stagger wake up time. Figure the amount of time you need to get ready without rushing things and set the alarm clock 15-20 minutes earlier than the actual time of waking up. In my case the alarm goes off an hour earlier & rings every 10 minutes.

2. Choose the location
Move the alarm clock out of reach from your bed that way you’ll have to get up to turn it off. My advice to use one of those crazy alarm clocks that has some flying parts so you’ll have to catch it to switch off.

3. Think Ahead
Have the clothes you will wearthe next morning ironed, nails - polished and painted in the evening. It’ll stop you from wondering what to put on in the morning.

4. Collect handbag items in the evening
Put all the necessary items in your handbag beforehand in order not to hunt down your cell, the second ear-ring or keys, which you “left right here in the evening”, all around the apartment.

5. Sleep Enough
Go to sleep earlier to allow yourself at least seven hour sleep. Besides complexion very much depends on the night rest.
