2nd Pre Natal Check Up

Today I went to Adventist for my 2nd pre natal check up ~ I was 9 weeks and 3 days if according to my last menstrual period. I went in the doctor room with Kyle as hubby is stuck at the pediatrics's cashier for Kyle's check up bill.

Dr. Soon reviewed back previous check up and asked a few question regarding my this past weeks. He prescribed me a medicine called Veloxin for my nausea and vomiting. It supposed to stop my vomiting. I only need to take it when necessary.

We did an ultrasound to check on the baby as my previous scan is not very positive result. My heart was 'dugun dugun' non stop waiting for the image to appear. It was dark and dr said he saw the baby already when what I see was a pitch black on the screen. As he move the scanner, i get to see some flickering light, and that's my baby's heartbeat.

The yolk sac is still in view and from the measurement, my edd is changed to 27 May 2012 which is 2 weeks later from 13 May 2012. My precious is now less than 1cm in length ^^.

I will need to go back 4 weeks later for my routine check up if i didn't encounter any bleeding or cramping.

Funny Orgasm

Haha it's shameful to say but i woke up this noon having orgasm ==" ~ it just happened and i got a tummy ache after that for awhile then it soothes back. Luckily nothing much happen.

I've been sleeping a lot this few days ~ more than 18 hours per day and i'm still sleepy and tired.

Going for my 2nd pre natal check up this coming Sunday. Supposedly going on Thursday but Dr. Soon had a emergency scheduled surgery so i thought going on Friday and it happen that Friday is Dr. Soon's surgery day.

Severe Morning Sickness

Dated 1st Oct 2011, I've had a very terrible morning sickness. Total of 6 times throwing up. Whatever in whatever out and it never stop. I was nausea the whole day and at the end of the day, i was lay flat. Luckily hubby is there to help me take care Kyle and the house. He managed it very well for at least.

When finally i get to lay on my bed at night, it's not an easy sleep either. I had a bad sleep, almost can't sleep. Been turning around badly and hard to breath like trying to burp yet cannot.

I woke up early this morning, like a hang over girl ~ my head aching badly. I managed to get myself a hot milo but no used it was out the other minute and also with a second round of throwing up too. I'm trying my best as today is Kyle's annual concert so we head out for our breakfast.

I had a glass of cold ambra with asam. GOD ~ that's a relieve.. i feel so good. I dare not take in a lot of mee so i just ate 3 small spoonful of wan tan mee from Kyle. I didn't feel like throwing up but got a slight nausea which is manageable.

I tried calling up Dr. Soon to see if he can prescribe me some medicine to take. I really need 1 if not I really can't do anything at all. I didn't killed any Maple Boss for 2 days and I didn't even have the mood to do my Coral D' Season and Crocornut. To no avail, he's on leave. I shall try to call him on Monday.

It was enjoyable day at the concert though most of the dance is boring but i really enjoyed Kyle's performance. He did out from what we've expected and turn out to be 1 of the best dancer in the whole concert performance. He's making me proud. I can't help but shed tears of joy watching him.

Maybe watching the whole concert thing make me shifted my attention and i don't feel like throwing up but what i know is that my back is aching badly and i'm hungry. I know i can't eat if not i'll throw up so we end up at Mcd for lunch. I had a glass of minute maid and a fillet. Almost feel like throwing up but end up taking a nap with Kyle. Even hubby is sleeping soundly right now.

I feel better though not really but i can cook some porridge for dinner.

Morning Sickness Kicking In

I was happy that i don't encounter any severe morning sickness like i did when i was expecting Kyle, bad mouth, it's kicking in ~

Yesterday, Sherry brought me a pack of Chee Cheong Fan, Laksa and Springs Roll. Thanks Sherry for that wonderful meal.

I'm not sure whether is it me only, but i started to get nausea when i was in the lift with that laksa. The smell was terrible, i started to burp and ran in house to vomit. I manage to put the laksa in a bowl and serve to my hubby but i ended up asking him to take away cause i can't stand the smell.

The Chee Cheong Fan and spring roll was nice though.

This morning I had a pack of rice with some fake spring rolls and chicken (i bought from the vege shop) and 1 pack of soya bean.. HOLY SHYT ~ i throw it all out 4 hours later and you guess the smell >.< and it makes me throw up more.. i'm totally drained >.<

Sleeping and Sleeping

I don't have any severe morning sickness for this pregnancy as for now, comparing to previously having Kyle. That time I throw up almost anything that I ate for first 4 months. I do feel some nausea once in a while but not serious and no throwing up though it makes me feel uncomfortable, i still can cope with it.

The only thing that I feel major changes is that I've been sleeping more than 12 hours per day. Normally i'll go to bed with Kyle around 10p.m then i'll wake up 1 hour later and stay till midnight, then I'll wake up early in the morning around 8a.m to fetch Kyle to school.

For this past week, I urge Kyle to bed around 9p.m and together we'll have our beauty sleep till tomorrow morning around 7.30p.m. I still feel lazy to wake up, it is best if I get to sleep till 10a.m.

Some times i'll take an afternoon nap as well, if free time allows me to do so...

Drinking Milk

Hubby and I went to supermarket to search for materna milk. There's a lot of brand, namely enfamama, anmum materna, mamilmama, frisomama, etc. We compared the nutrients of each brand and also the pricing.

We end up choosing Mamilmama cocoa flavoured. I would prefer that as it is more similar to milo taste rather than the original milk taste.

Managed to get the promoter to give me 1 sample of original flavour and have yet to taste it. She also inform me the normal price and promotion price as well. I've signed up for the mamil membership too since it's free and will get a free bunny in 3-4 weeks time.

We bought 1 box first, as to test the taste whether suit me or not and i find it quite delicious. I've drink 2 glasses per day.

Yesterday i received a sms from the promoter informing me that there's a promotion going on in Tesco, and i went there at night to grab 4 more boxes.

1 box can last me about 1 week, so 4 box for 1 month usage.

First Prenatal Check Up

Supposedly i've made an appointment on Sunday morning, but today morning, hubby said he's going over to Penang so might as well drop me for my check up. I called Adventist and they said it's alright to drop by around 11a.m so i reach there by 11a.m and found out that Dr. Soon went for an emergency c-section.

I waited around 45mins and by that time hubby already finished his work and came over to accompany me.

My first impression on Dr. Soon is that he's very good looking middle age man and as others have said he's gentle as well. He first asked a few question regarding my previous pregnancy and help me calculate on my due date which falls on May 13 2012. He explain in details, how the due date is calculated and let me know that he will do an ultra sound to confirm the baby is in place and if we're lucky we can see the baby's heartbeat.

First he used a standard ultrasound to check on me but we cannot see any sac in my uterus so he suggested that we try transvagina ultrasound. I agree to it and we still can't see any sac in my uterus. He said there might be 3 possibilities when this occur.

1. I'm not pregnant at all.

2. Too early in the pregnancy.

3. Ectopic pregnancy.

He checked on my right side ovary and he said that the ovum has been released and confirm there's no cyst on my both ovaries. Everything seems normal. To confirmed my pregnancy and hcg level he suggest that me to take a blood test and the result will be out in few hours.

Finally i received a call from Dr. Soon around 4p.m telling me that i'm indeed pregnant but my hcg level is only 879 which is why it's still too early to see any sign of my little one. Once the hcg level reach 1500 we shall able to see it so he appoint me to see him on Oct 9 2011 for my next check up. Hopefully by that time, we able to see a healthy little baby inside me.

First Prenatal Appointment

I've called up Adventist for an appointment today. I shall go to see Dr. Soon Su Seong this coming Sunday 23/09/11 early in the morning for my first prenatal check up.

I've took advice from my friends, they said that Dr. Soon is gentle and good looking.

Here's a little bit details on Dr. Soon.

Changes In Features

They said if you're expecting a boy, you'll turn ugly and if a girl, you'll become very beautiful.

This is my first picture of the month, let's see if there's any changes in me during my whole 40 weeks.

Pantang Larang

Speaking of pantang larang, here's a few that i know of that what a pregnant woman should not do.

1. Sewing or using scissors on a bed - this is highly recommended to avoid as the folks believe that it will do some harm to the baby in the womb.

2. Shifting furniture especially bed or climbing high - it is said that shifting and climbing can cause miscarriage. It is better to avoid.

3. Renovation and knocking nails on the wall - it might cause something to the baby. If your house really need some knocking, just make sure pregnant lady is not around. I'm not sure to believe it or not but somewhere near my bro's eye got 1 tiny hole, my mum said it might cause by my grandpa doing some knocking during her pregnancy.

4. Eating crab - they said the baby will be very naughty after birth.

5. Talk on other's features - this i believe haha. I used to talk fun on my sis bf's nose and eyes on my first pregnancy. My son now got the same nose as him ==".

This is all the pantang larang that i know of, there might be more out there.

Dr. And Hospital

My son was delivered by Dr. Ng K.T at Adventist Hospital. Dr. Ng is a very good doctor that i would love to go back to him for my 2nd baby but he's now at Tanjung Medical Centre.

I like PAH's service and the pricing is reasonable.

I'm looking forward for the 3 bedded room. I've chosen 2 bedded room before on my previous delivery and the room is quite small compared to 3 bedded room when I stayed for 1 night while Kyle is there for his jaundice.

The only problem now is that, should I go with doctor or hospital?

This is TMC's offered package:

If i were to choose, i guess most likely i'll go for PAH and will seek for Dr. Low Chin Soon. I heard that he's a good doctor also. I've called up PAH to inquired, and they said i should come for checking at 6 weeks from the date of my last period if i have no brown discharge or any other bad sign.

I'll talk to hubby and see shall we make an appointment for this Sunday.

My First Positive

Woke up today at 4.15a.m, getting ready to go for 'kambong' (waking up the soul). I bought a hpt yesterday, after 2 times of negative result, i still felt that i'm actually pregnant. Menstrual is delayed by 1 week. Supposedly by 6th of every month, it will come as my menstrual cycles has been regular for the pass 6 months.

I tried the hpt and as i watch the bar goes up, i only see 1 line. Well, i guess i have to try another time another day. Yet the longer i stare at the tube for the result, i began to see a very faint line. It's 4 in the morning and i haven't even brush my teeth and wash my face, yet i feel elated. I get myself wash up, then sit down and stare into the tube again. Indeed there was a very thin faint line.

It's a good news to me, finally Kyle will have a sibling and i'm going to be a mummy again. I was so happy and who should i tell first? I guess that would be my hubby who's out station at the moment. I text him 'Congratulations, you're going to be 2nd time daddy'. Then i called my sister to check on them to see if they woken up and ready to come and fetch me. I drop the news to them.

From the due date calculator based on my first day of my last period: my due date shall be on May 12 2012 and i'm currently 5 weeks pregnant.

But my concern is, did i only conceive after 28th of August. As i have sex twice with my hubby this month. First time is somewhere right after my period and another is on 28th of August. To my knowledge on fertility, i should be more likely conceive after 28th of August.

If based on 28th of August conception date: my due date shall be on May 20 2012 and i'm currently around 4 weeks pregnant.

I guess i would need to make an appointment with a doctor to confirm my pregnancy and start on my folid acid and iron. I'm not sure whether i should go now or on the 7 weeks where i can see my little heart beats.

I don't plan to announce my pregnancy to anyone yet except for close family members like my hubby, mummy and sister and also my best friend. Once I got over 3 months, then most likely i will announce it on my facebook ^^.

I will try to take care myself so that I can have a healthy pregnancy and give birth to a healthy baby.
