Im currently 29wks+3 days. On my previous check up (28wks) my baby's weight was 1680g, with her abdominal circumference being 259mm..gynae mentioned that baby is on the chubbier side particularly in her tummy. I don't have GD, my glucose test results at 25 weeks came out normal and throughout my pregnancy I have had iron deficiency as well. There's been several occasions where I feel like I'm going to faint or almost faint (become nauseous and start seeing stars), especially when I walk too much/weather too hot/never eat. Could this be bcos of baby's size? Why is baby so big? Could this just be a sudden growth spurt and maybe she'll slow down..? I don't feel like I've been eating a whole lot for baby to be overweight. I'm 24 years old and this is my first pregnancy. ? I really want to have a natural birth so any dieting advice will be greatly appreciated..

I'm 18 weeks now and throughout the past 2 days my feet and legs started swelling..usually I'll be able to slip into my shoes without having to untie but now..?. It's not very painful but it does feel uncomfortable like cramping in my calves. I work office hours and am seated at my desk throughout most of the day. Maybe that's why? I will appreciate good home remedies from any mummies who's been through the same..?

Avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time. Blood circulation will flow better Use a small tool / cushion , try to sit and put your feet up when possible. Try wear compression stockings Soak your feet in Epsom salt at night (20 mins -30mins ) Avoid taking too salty foods Drink plenty of water Massage your feet Light exercise : Go for a slow walk / Swimming Eat rich foods :)
