I’m not a diabetic prior to pregnancy. But hello, I’m Ju Ann and I have been diagnosed with borderline Gestational Diabetes.

The muscle strains of pregnancy are very real and can be more than just a nuisance. I am now experiencing backaches, aches below my belly and the occasional calf strains due to calf cramps at night. :(

Quiet Forest Nursery Theme

My inspiration for #ProjectNursery today revolves around brown, green and white. I call it a Quiet Forest Theme for a baby boy. It is actually pretty gender neutral though. I work around the “BROWNISH” based themes alot because my room has brown curtains and a brown cabinet. So my hands are tied that way.

Baby Scan: Week 10 – Dr Benjamin Tham at Thomson Medical Centre

After our last meetup with our previous gynae, Dr Wee, we decided to look around and see if there are other gynaes we could probably go with. We wanted to find someone we were 100% comfortable with. Personally, it doesn’t matter if it’s a male or a female doctor. I’m cool with both. Meeting Dr Benjamin Tham was like a breadth of fresh air. He didn’t look very “modern” on his website here but he turned out to be everything…
