31/12/2011

今天是2011年的最后一天，对我来说有点特别，三年前的今天，我成了蔡太太。虽然今天没有特别庆祝，只简单地吃了一顿晚餐，但有最爱的陪在我身边，还有我肚子里可爱的宝宝!新年快乐，祝大家在2012年有更好的开始，永远幸福!

bb 在肚子里打嗝

最近一直觉得自己的肚子一跳一跳的，很有规律性的抽动，一直在想bb在里面做什么呢？然后有个朋友告诉我是bb在打嗝，不过有时候打得蛮久，大概有十分钟吧！一天可能几次呢！有点担心不知有什么问题吗？所以就上网查了资料，跟大家分享一下！原来bb在学习呢！

孕晚期胎儿为什么会打嗝呢？

医学上称打嗝为“呃逆”。成人如果受到寒冷刺激、饱餐、吃饭过快、吃进干硬食物后，都可能出现暂时性的呃逆，到了孕晚期28周左右开始，胎儿会在妈妈的体内不断的吞食羊水，用来锻炼肺部的呼吸，肺泡在羊水里不断的长大，就跟大人在吃东西一样，不断的吞食，在胎儿的胸腔和腹腔之间，有一个像帽子似的厚厚肌肉膜，称为膈肌，将胸腔和腹腔分隔开，和身体其他器官一样，膈肌也有神经分布和血液供应，当引起打嗝的诱因刺激传导给大脑以后，大脑就会发出指令，使膈肌出现阵发性和痉挛性收缩，于是就出现打嗝。

打嗝正常不正常呢？

胎儿打嗝是很正常的，就跟我们大人呼吸一样的，因为胎儿的肺部还没有发育好，所以要不断吞食羊水，在吞食羊水的同时练习肺部的呼吸，以便出生后能够像大人一样正常的呼吸，也就是说宝宝在打嗝其实是一种提升肺部呼吸能力的一种方式，所以妈妈们就别太担心了，只是在宝宝打嗝的时候轻轻抚摸就可以了，过个几分钟就不会打了！

打嗝与妈妈有关吗？

很多妈妈说是不是我吃的太多了啊，还是宝宝缺氧了啊，要么宝宝为什么会打嗝呢？还是说跟妈妈的生活习惯有关系啊？是不是自己的习惯不好导致宝宝打嗝了？其实这个跟妈妈的习惯是没有关系的，胎儿打嗝就跟我们大人吃饭睡觉一样的正常，是她成长经历的一个过程，是她在学会长大，学会一种体外生存的能力，所以各位妈妈们不必担心。

打嗝又是怎么表现的呢，妈妈们如何判断是宝宝在打嗝呢？

打嗝的表现为胎儿在腹中会有规律的动，2-3秒一次，持续的时间为2-5分钟，有时候会持续10-20分钟，具体表现为一跳一跳的，类似心跳，准妈妈们手摸在跳动的地方，会一弹一弹的，很有规律，跟胎动有所区别！

幸福胎动的感觉

当21week时，我开始觉得胎动，bb开始在我肚子里活动了，不知怎么形容那种感觉，是一种幸福的感觉！好开心喔！

现在已经33week了，bb动得也越来越多，尤其是当我在工作时，需要一直摸肚子安抚他，害得我无法专心工作，bb好顽皮喔！不过真的很开心感觉他在我的肚子里，有时候会想他到底在做什么呢？吃得饱吗？睡得好吗？玩得开心吗？哈哈! 有时候他动的可大力呢，我就想他一定是饿了，抗议的告诉妈咪我要吃了！呵呵！

我要珍惜这幸福的感觉！

水肿

我开始觉得自己有点水肿了，戒指已经戴不进了，手表也不大能戴了，是时候要求老公再买新的给我，哈哈！

总觉得手指的关节有点痛，尤其是刚睡醒时，不大能手握拳头，不知是否少了些维他命？

16 Weeks Pregnancy

On 01/09/2011 3pm, we went to checkup as usual, today need to do triple test to classify a patient as either high-risk or low-risk for chromosomal abnormalities . Although I know the test accuracy is just 60%-70%, I still want to check for it.

For this test, will need to do blood test and measure fluid under the skin at the back of a baby's neck. Today baby is very naughty, when doctor wanted to measure the fluid under skin, he just don't want turn up the head for doctor to measure no matter how doctor push my tummy. But when doctor want to measure his body length, then he turn up. Haha... mummy's naughty boy... :D
