belly update

i reached 34 inches for 3 days now..! and my colleague said "win, u dah takde pinggang dah"..
i am so happy!

weight update

my everyday weight is always 54kg or 55kg. (my bmi is always 19..considering the fact that i am 169cm in height)

during my early weeks, my weight drops to 53kg or lesser..

but now it has increased since my selera makan has come back!

3rd check up

my third check up sepatutnya pada 20hb. tapi i was admitted and i couldn't walk. so i asked for postponement. lagipun during my admission in hospital serdang, the doctors have repeatedly done ultrasound and unofficial pre-natal check up. so i have nothing to worry about pun.

so i was given a new date being 27th december. i went there with my mum. wan can't cuti, sbb dah banyak sgt cuti bulan 12 and da byk half day sbb isteri dia keluar masuk ward. first time dia tak dpt join! *sedih*.. kami sampai pukul 7.35am dan dapat nombor giliran 7005!.. awal pun jadi org nombor 5. tapi memandangkan kami dtg awal, pukul 9 dah boleh balik sbb da settle semua *yey*

tapi utk next check up (which will be on 11th January 2012), i asked for evening appointment because i really want wan to be there with me.

this time, i get to meet with the doctor. indian man, muda sgt..mcm 29 years old. he spoke to me in full english after knowing that i am working as a peguam persekutuan, bley tak? hehe.. he asked if i have any question. previously i do have tonnes of questions but i have already asked all of them to the doctors in hospital serdang. so when i came to see him, i don't have any more.! hehehe..apalah!

my hb is at the border. sepatutnya 11 and above. tp mine was 10.9.. dapat pen merah satu! aihhh.. the doctor said, it's oke, he assumed i am a bit dehydrated due to the medication prescribed to me during my admission the other day. but he asked me to drink a lot of water.

sepatutnya scan dkt klinik kerajaan dibuat masa dah masuk minggu ke 17 or 18 or 20..tp this time doctor tak perform scan pun sbb haritu masa kat hospital serdang, i've undergone that too many times already.

so far so good..baby..tak sabar nak jumpa kau!!

i have yet uploaded the ultrasound pictures..i will, soon..

admitted! but the baby's fine.

i was admitted twice in a week. 17-18dec and 20-21dec for a reason which might have connection with and impact on the baby. but thankfully, tak connected pun. the baby is sooo fine and healthy and big!

i was scheduled for a surgery on the 20th then they postpone to the next day because malam 20th tu ada emergency surgery so i was put on hold smpai esok pagi.
due to my pregnancy, the doctor was not so confident to let me go through with the surgery because the anaesthetic may have side effects on the baby...!

but i was lucky, berkat doa mak. the surgery was no need to be done after all.. nasib baik dorg postpone to the next day. mlm tu, something happen to my wound and afterwards the doctor said, no need surgery anymore..yeye!!

during my admission, since the doctors were so worried about my baby, i can't recall but the doctors must have at least did 4 times of ultrasound..my baby is bigger than his/her should-be size..and healthy and so active..he/she responded to the pressure of the scanner that was being pressed against me by the doctors. ahhh..what a wonderful feeling despite all the pain that i've to face all week...alhamdulillah. everythings fine now.

plane ride

last month, wan n i went for a trip to medan, indonesia. we met this family of three people who also went for the same trip, a big sister, a younger sister and the younger sister's daughter..they came from Seremban. The big sister was a nurse who had just retired a few days before the trip. She last worked at Klinik Kesihatan Seremban, next to mahkamah seremban where wan is working (currently).

the family was so comfortable hanging out with us (we wanted to just be alone, but they were where we were all the time!) after the younger sister knew that both of us are working in a legal field. why? her husband is also a lawyer/legal adviser somewhere in Selangor. So she felt that we can speak the same language. we were fine with them but i can't deny the fact that i was quite annoyed with the big sister, yup the nurse.. as soon as she learnt that i was pregnant, she started to nag..

"oh, have u consult your doctor before coming to this trip? taking into consideration that u are still at the early stage of pregnancy"

"you should not have boarded a plane, a plane ride would damage ur unborn child's hearing, he or she will have an impaired hearing!"

"you should not eat too much durian"

"you should not sit at the back seat of the bus especially on this bumpy road"

"you can't eat pineapple"

and she went on and on and on! argghhhh!!

everything that she nagged about bugged me but one thing worries me so much is the fact about plane ride..since i was in Indonesia, my blackberry can't access the internet.so i was so anxious to google everything about plane ride during early stage of pregnancy.." i was so worried that that spoilt my honeymoon mood. she (the nurse) was telling me that when i still have to take a plane ride home..did she expect me to take a boat to malaysia because of what she said (which is not certainly true??)??

so, as soon as i arrived home, as soon as i got the internet connection, i began googling..and what i found was rather comforting. it is safe to travel by air. There are some potential problems but these problems were more related to the length of time in the air, the route flown, and other flight phenomena.

if u are still at your first trimester, there are always risk of miscarriages..but usually that happened to those pregnancy that already faced certain problematic conditions,.if ur pregnancy is normal, the thing that u should concern about is the morning-sickness-kind-of-feeling that will be more excruciating when u r on a plane..

travelling by plane on your final few weeks expecially after your 36th weeks is not advisable and not permitted by many airplane companies for some risks that u can google on your own..

see? u can travel on a plane while u r pregnant! *fuhh* n my flight was only a 1 hour flight..!!! duh

and the thing she (the nurse) warned me about the "hearing impaired" is certainly not true!.. commercial flights nowadays have the technology that can equalize the pressure within the plane cabin and the pressure back on the land...so, no issue of hearing impaired on an unborn baby!! she scared me good..and it was unneccessary!!.. i hope i will never have to see her ever again!

bikin stress!

growing belly

i read that usually people with flat tummy (..hihihi..) will be the ones who will be the late bloomers a.k.a "yup, she's not showing yet"

my not-so-slim waist always measured 26 inches no matter if i'm gaining or losing weight..this morning i measured it again and now the current measurement is 31 inches!

all of my kain baju kurung with a zip is "unzippable" since last 2 months, not because they do not fit me anymore but because i was having the feeling of fullness that makes me feel they are too tight to wear.

but today, they literally do not fit me anymore. :)

i can't wait to watch my belly shows itself to the world but i was told that until it starts to rapidly grow, it will only grow much slowly that one who doesn't know that i'm pregnant, will not realise..

16 weeks and 3 days

i am four months pregnant yeyy!! approximately 5 months to go before my baby's birthday..!

i was told by many women around me that my fatigueness and sleepyness will go away as soon as i reached my 2nd trimester or 4th month.

so here i am on my forth month but still having all the symptoms, some becomes more excruciating..and few more symptoms just show themselves..

hmmm..can't wait for my next check up especially because finally i get to see not just nurse but the doctor herself!..i have a lot of questions doctor..:) c u soon.!

2nd check up + first ultrasound!!

i was on my 13th week + 3 days of pregnancy when i went for my 2nd check up..it was on 21 November 2011. Everything was smooth,..no problem, no complaint..nothing..
still having symptoms like fatigue and sleepyness almost all the time..!

I asked the nurse when will i first have my ultrasound because i can't wait to hear/see my baby's heartbeat. she told me she'll schedule ultrasound session during next checkup for me..*yey*

after check up, my curiousity rushed to the top so we didn't wait, we went straight to Klinik Hanita to have our first ultrasound..:))

when we did it for the first time, the doctor told us that there's the heartbeat *which wan and i failed to see :'(*..but so long as the doctor said it was there, i was so delightful.. i could see our baby's head, spine, his whole body and his hands moving.. Ya Allah.. there really is a tiny human being inside of my womb..alhamdulillah..

the doctor snapped an ultrasound photo and gave it to us..we went home with big smiles on our faces. we just saw our baby for the first time!!!!!
