"Sniff, Doc said I gained too much weight!"

Ning came back from the weekend morose and indignant.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Yah the silly old woman told me that I gained too much weight! The nurse was shocked and took the weight twice. When I went to the gynae's room for the checkup, she remarked that I had put on more than I should. I mean its only a overall 7 kg gain since the first month!" she said resignedly.

"Huh? I thought its acceptable weight gain? See I told you the old woman is rubbish. Charge so much and give crap advice. Does she want all her patients to be anorexic?" I said exasperatedly.

"Yah me and my big mouth. I told her from the start to help me control my weight gain. She has a good memory! So now she watches my weight like a hawk! But it seems she nags at every patient. I think if she did not say a thing, some will put on 5 or 8 kg a month!"

Sigh, I guess I am lucky than most. Still looking as skinny as ever, despite eating high caloried foods. I realised that my cheeks have become rather sunken, but of course, that will soon change. There isn't a choice but to start accepting that I will look like a fat lizard, come full term. All for the sake of the wee one.
