kasut perempuan mengandung

semasa di antenatal class haritu, puan lecturer ada kasi contoh kasut yang betul n kasut yang salah untuk dipakai semasa mengandung. dia cakap, kalau pakai kasut yang salah, itu akan menjadi penyumbang kepada sakit2 belakang n sakit2 kaki yang perempuan mengandung selalu alami.

kebetulan, win pakai slipper tebal tu..awal2 lagi puan tu ckp, itu kasut yang salah..hehe

she said, kasut yang flat, walaupun flat, tapi ia tak membantu perempuan mengandung. i thought pregnant ladies kena pakai flats..supaya tak jatuh!

she said the correct shoes should have these traits:

1. ketinggian lebih kurang 1 inci; dan
2. mempunyai supportive measures seperti yang dibulatkan dalam gambar di bawah dan dekat bahagian tumit jugak.

she suggested scholl. lepas kelas, petang tu, wan n win dengan semangatnya pergi cari kasut yang betul..we purchased satu light pink bata comfit..rm59.90 sahaja..yang cukup syarat. yey!

scholl memang hampir kesemuanya cukup syarat. tapi scholl tak cute! hehe

n setelah 4 hari pakai kasut ni pergi jalan/kerja.. kaki win sihat. betul la kot kata lecturer tu.. bye bye kasut sarung flat ku yg comel.. i won't be using u until baby sampai nanti..mmuuaahh!

kelas antenatal - hospital serdang

win + wan pergi ke kelas antenatal di hospital serdang pada hari khamis 23 Februari 2012. Kelas mula pada 10 pagi, sepatutnya sejam, tapi dragged ke 12.30tgh hari.

antara input yang kita dapat termasuklah:
i. changes in mums - termasuklah baju apa sesuai, kasut mcm mana sesuai, the way u walk, sit when pregnant etc.
ii. exercise - untuk org pregnant yang mengalami sakit belakang, cramp etc
iii. relaxation technic - breathing
iv. birthing process - what to expect

dia cerita macam2, kasi contoh macam2. sgt berguna kelas ni. but since ia cuma kelas sejam, maka, ada session lain yang akan hanya ajar fasal breastsfeeding. just call hospital serdang n tanya about this oke?

i think, every pregnant mommies should go antenatal class..seriously. tak rugi pun. kalau pergi yang berbayar pun oke. (this one was free of charge)

so, one of the pregnancy's DO's..is, GO TO ANTENATAL CLASS.!

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!
