Week 38 Checkup @ 24th Jan

Today was strapped up and having CTG reading for 20mins...as usual...no signs..nothing...no contraction(which i more or less expected it... coz when i was carrying Raphael...also same..)

Then Dr Kek came in to check for bacterial and did some test...then check for dilation...

the surprising thing was that I am 2cm dilated!! wah! and she told me very confidently..."Its ready, anytime, when a real contraction kicks in...the baby can be delivered...in fact if u wan to induce now... it can be done.. But why now... we try to keep baby as long as possible to reduce jaundice and let the lung matured further..."

same old saying "let the baby decide when to come out"....

we were all surprised that its due ANYTIME...at first i was still thinking at most 1cm lar...wah...2cm is alot wor!!! 10cm can give birth liao leh!! wohoooo

now when i am walking...somehow duno issit physcologically thinking...keep feeling its coming out....yucks!!!

will i pass this week without anything? hehe..lets see!

This week marks the start of my 37th week into pregnancy...Could feel alot of changes in myself...

Back-aching every now and then...having a hard time getting up from lying down position...walk abit my lower body feel alot of pressure.... feel  my tummy like drop down abit...hmmm...now can put 2-3fingers between breasts and tummy...

Week 36 @ 3.113kg!!

Our little boy is growing very well despite mummy trying hard to diet as her weight seems to balloon!

For myself I am weighing at 78.6kg as @ Sat!!
Baby is 3.113kg wor! This is a good weight and Dr Kek reminded me to cut down on sugary food to prevent ah boy from getting too heavy!

Hehee... Will cut down on choc n snacks coz I am still hoping for a natural birth

When Dr Kek ask me if I had any preference: c sect or natural
I told her the best would b natural birth but if she advise against it I will follow her decision

She asked if any preference on dates again told her no as long as she tell me ready then I am ready... Placing absolute trust in her!

She told us that the boy looks like phael!! Look forward to seeing this new darling!

Another milestones!

Week 35

So far this week been a bad bad week, since Xmas eve, since i had the heartburn and throwing up, I keep having heartburn on n off...

A few nights in a row throwing up and feeling awful... haiz...

Anyway... Been feeling backache recently and started to feel uncomfortable when it comes to going to work esp when sitting for long hours, can break my back...

Well..Endure... I just weighed last nite, 76.5kg....or 77.5kg..I cannot remember... =D

Waistline is appx 41inches !!!!

Very Bad Heartburn + Reflux!

Last nite was feeling unexceptionally unwell due to the heartburn...as I was lying down I could feel the acid lingering my throat...even when i cough the acid was oredi halfway thru my throat...like getting ready to be exploded...

Couldnt endure and ignore this feel and went to vomit... Raphael was so sensible...when he sees me puking badly...he refused to stay outside the toilet..I was worried I may puke on him....and at the same time I couldnt even stand properly... How to have him with me...Keep asking him to go out..but he refused...

Repeated he asked me "Mummy 你ok吗？真的啊??? Ok 啊"

When I was about to be done... I wanted to sayang him but i tink i was too shaky and scratch his forehead instead...so i keep saying he ok anot...issit painful? He replied me "no problem, 没问题"

Then he keep sayang me and asked me whether am i better etc.... haiyo

So sweet boy... 

Week 33 Checkup - 18-Dec 2010

Went for our regular checkup and our baby now is 2.37kg as at 33 weeks, Dr Kek commented that he looks like Raphael esp the nose the cheeks area...errr.... i do not know how to "analyze" the black and white 2D scan on screen...so ok lor..she say looks like looks like lor..ahhaaaaa

Then Dr Kek commented that the placenta had shifted up and we can try for natural birth but should there be any complications or uncertainty during the labour, will go for c-sect lor... OK LAR! at least she say got chance...rather than tell me very low lying and die die must C-sec that type...felt more relieved!

I noticed Raphael look forward to every single visit wor...not sure issit the invisible bond between him and Dr Kek(who delivered him)... he seems to be so delighted to see her!!

As usual she gave me a very very 抽象 picture which only she will appreciate....hahaa...when I showed this to my mum..she asked me wat is that??? I told her is the close up of the baby face and the tongue lar!!

Another 6-7weeks of countdown... I told my mum...be prepared to eat reunion dinner at my place...she ask me why...i told her...my EDD is CNY leh...so anytime before CNY...i may give birth..LOL

Heartburn and vomitting!

Its been quite frequent that I experience heartburn and the spicy feeling rose from chest to throat area.


Just yesterday, this got worst that when we went Vivo to eat...simply no appetite and had that burning sensation in my chest area.... Keep wanting to vomit but controlled...until I reached home and cannot tahan anymore...

haiz...had a hard time puking..becoz the output is damn sour...Raphael is so sweet that he stand beside me while i Puke and keep asking me am I ok... then when i am out..he sayang me repeatedly....sweet!!

Rested earlier last night..hope today will be better... right now the spicy feeling is still there... haiz
