finally…

my bundle of joy arrived on Dec 14, 2009. it was a great experience for me after 10 years and having the little one in my arm is much greater...

i was overdue 2 days from my EDD. i decided to have an induction on my EDD but on the morning of that day, my gynae done a checking and found it was still unfavourable, which mean the baby is still far away from the door. she advised i should wait till Dec 14. the next day, there was some 'show' but not contraction. i went back to the medical centre and it was only 1cm opening. so i went home resting.

on Dec 14, i was all prepared for the induction. i arrived at 0830am and was inserted the tablet at 10am. by 1pm, i began to feel the contraction coming at interval of 20 mins. it became stronger by 4pm. at 5pm, the opening was about 3cm and the pain was unbearable at 7 - 5 mins. when the opening was at 5cm, i was brought into the labour room. i was given a pain relief so i could rest and save my energy for the delivery. it made me really drowsy but i can still felt the pain.

when the time came, i thought i had pushed with all my energy and strength but i guess it was just not enough. i was ‘assisted’ and finally at 7.02pm, my little princess came into this world. yes.. it's a girl!!!

she is now 2 weeks old and i'm having fun 'berpantang' with the help from my MIL for a week and with my boys assisting me in everyway they can.. i have another 1 month to go.. huhuhu...

belly belt

by now, i’m in my 2nd trimester already. since my waist and belly are now expanding, i should start wearing loose clothing by now. luckily i have few tops that i could still wear to work and thanks to belly belt, i do not have to buy pregnancy pants.

you see… during my 1st and 2nd pregnancy, i never knew about belly belt so i bought new maternity wears from dresses to pants. this time around, i dah pandai sikit.. i save up to buy more tops rather than pants coz this belly belt allows me to wear my usual working pants and even my jeans. cool eh..

one thing not cool about it, is the price. last month when i went to mothercare @ subang parade, just to look around the price, it was at RM72. at that time, i can still fit in most of my pants so i thought i should just get it the next month. when i went there last weekend, it was RM89!!! ceh… they mark up the price RM17 in just a month!!! boleh ke camtu??? dah la discount pun takde, sales pun lambat lagi in july or august, according the SA la.. i was so frustrated but no choice.. i have to grab it or else i’ll be wearing sarung je to office.

p/s.. i can get a delicious tasty and healthy grilled salmon with that RM17 .. sigh!!

i can see it...

my appt with the dr last friday, i brought the kids along and they were all excited to see whats on the screen. of course started to ask questions like where is the eyes.. the hands.. the legs..? is it a boy or a girl..? etc.. jenuh la nak menjawab.

the 1st time i was scanned, it was just a bean and here is the latest in my womb. it has grew up to 2.3cm already. alhamdulillah… it grows well according to the weeks and we could even see the heartbeat…

ada la satu hari tu dear hubby kata dia mimpi twins. ish.. susah tu nak dpt twins tapi kalau twins pun best jugak kan.. from hubby’s side, mmg dia ada cousins yg twins so the chances are there but it's 1:100 ye..

back to the pic tu.. can you see the small bubble next to the foetus? aha.. we thought there’s another one.. but it is the placenta. wat suspen jer kann!! yes, at this stage, it has developed to help transfer the nutrients from me to the foetus. so time mcm ni kena la jaga makan..

oh during the time dr N tgh scan my perut, dear hubby buat kelakar la pulak. lupa pasal apa ntah so all of us bantai gelak. bila tgh gelak tu, perut i bergegar so from the monitor screen tu, the womb was like bouncing here and there sampai dr N kata.. kesian baby tu.. terkejut dia.. hehehe..

ok sleep ye baby.. see you in a month... :D

sickness...

my body is rejecting food.. not all but some.

i'm starting to have morning sickness and diarrhoea. i get nausea whenever i brush my teeth and cleanse my face. even after meals, nausea with or without vomitting. what fears me if it happens while dining at a restaurant. ada yang semua lari keluar restoren tu pulak.

when my body cant accept totally some of the food, i'll be sitting in the toilet for quite awhile to get rid of the waste product. when this happen, i have to drink plenty of fluid and this drinking intake makes toilet my regular pit stops pulak.

at work, especially after lunch, i tend to feel very sleepy. so whenever my boss is not around, i will grab a quick nap. tu pun terbabas sampai nak dekat 2 jam. at night pulak, sleeping on my back is no longer comfortable. side position yang best tapi bila nak turn from left to right, kena slow2 kalau tak, ada yang cramp. time2 macam ni ala-ala fragile gitu...

this friday is 2nd visit to my gynae. see how's the fetus is developing at week 9...:D

week 8

to do a comparison between my last two pregnancy may not be possible because i can only remember few of it, so this time i’m going to write about it and enjoy the moment. my gynae told me “eyna, it’s going to be like a 1st time pregnancy for you ye…” ok doc!!

usually, at week 8, i should not look pregnant and it is way too early to buy pregnancy clothes pun. but last weekend, believe it or not, i cant even button my pants and even in my jeans pun dah rasa senak gitu. tambah pulak lepas makan. kot my perut dah expand ke? awal lagi..

eating habit pun dah change. before this, after breakfast i boleh tahan till petang so i skip lunch but now every 2 hours je i will feel hungry so need to make sure food is available in the office. no wonder i put on weight especially kat hips. now my pants pun nampak ketat semacam. not only that, i have to control and stop eating before repletion or i’ll be running out of room vomitting. dah la muntah, then lapar balik. and there are times i loss my appetite but have to force myself to eat. kalau tak pedih perut… tu yang i tak tahan.

i still go for my swimming class, that is after consulting my gynae. as long as no bleeding, swimming is healthy and enjoyable. sekarang ni tgh belajar breaststroke. kalau kat pool area yg less than 2m, confident je swimming tapi bila the tutor suruh swim kat 2m je, langsung mcm nak lemas. eee seram la tengok dalam2 nih. next day after swimming, backache la pulak..

tu semua dugaan…

week 7...

ok la.. it is now confirmed that i’m in my week 7 already after went for my 1st check-up with Dr N, who has been my gynae since adam & adli.

during this visit, i was advised the due date, which will be in mid Dec 2009 and was also scanned to see the position of the placenta. of course at this early stage, what can i expect to see on the screen kan but just a bubble (placenta la tu..) floating in my womb. then Dr N showed me this tiny little foetus in that bubble. wahhh i’m soooo teruja ok!!!

anyway, since the beginning of this journey, i become lazy to do anything at work and at home but just have to drag and force myself to work. kalau tak, sapa nak buat kalau tak mak jugak. so far, no morning sickness but evening sickness je. tu pun occasionally after dinner only when my tekak cannot accept what i ate that night.

i pun dah start on folic acid two weeks ago but obimin, i’ve just taken one last night. masyaAllah.. punya la besar pil obimin ni, tak sanggup nak telan tapi kena telan jugak.
