Pregnancy - 4 - 6 Months

Congratulations!

You are now a confirmed Mum & Dad.

- BUY A PAIR OF GOOD SHOES NOW -

During the next few months, you will notice that you stomach starts to swell.
Mummy will have to eat well.

Tonics are a must and the amount of money you spend on tonics will directly benifit your baby when they are born. So spend within your means to build your body and get it ready for the big day.

Over next few months, you will, according to your age, go through some test and screenings.
Very soon, the shape of your baby will form. You now can see his/her spinal cord.

That is where another test that will make you crazy come in.

A test to see if the baby is normal and growing well.
This is a very detailed scan. The results, gathered from information from the thickness of the neck and spinal cord will determine if your baby is healthy or with problems (Down Synmdrome).

So again, this process will cause a lot of hair loss and sleepless nights waiting for the result.

The detail scan is 90% accurate. Of course if the result is not all positive, there is a chance that the results are wrong!

You can then do the 2nd option of drawing the fluid our from your babys' waterbag which is 99% accurate to confirm the test results.

HOWEVER, this process may cause miscarridge. So exercise good care and decision.

But again, do remember that everyone, goes through this process of scanning and most of the time, results are good. So remain positive and do not worry so much.

Closer to the 6th Month of pregnancy, Mummys' appetite will change. She may now like spicy food, sour food, sweet food or some specific food. Which is really up to individual.

Mummy's feet may also start to swell. Back start to ache due to the change of sleeping position and the strain of the increased weight on the stomach as the baby grow.

Daddy should now give Mummy constant massage.
What i did was to give my wife an 1hour massage every night until she fall asleep.
This is the best time to show your love to your wife.

Remember, after this 10months, you will be introduced to a new member and gone are the days of a loving couple. Treasure this time together and never argue.

Mood swing during this time are unavoidable. But Daddy should always try to give in.
Being pregnant is not easy. Mummy may sometimes "abuse" the system and bully everyone around her. But hey, it's tough on her so...

By the 6th mths of pregnancy, you should have long known the gender of the baby.

It's good to start naming the baby.
Let the name settle in your head for a while before deciding for the best.

DO NOT THINK YOU HAVE A LOT OF TIME.

Because it's going to be a fact that you do not have time for anything.
Across the 6th month, time speeds up and before you know it, the day is coming.

Do not however, start to buy too much clothes. You will never know the size of your baby.
He/She may be too tall for some baby clothes you buy and you end up wasting them.

Buy in moderate and save the money for something else.
