week 8

i did my booking this week....with my previous obstetrician, Prof J....all examinations were normal and when he did the ultrasound, there you can see a viable intrauterine feotus with its CRL equals to 8 weeks.... and i can see its strong heart beats too....

Jihan was so excited to see her little "adik" on tghe ultrasound machine screen...and i showed her the ultrasound photo of hers when she was 12 weeks old and also her little "adik" and she was so excited saying, "adik is black", referring to the all black background of my uterus...i told her that her "adik" is the white shadow...

i spent most of the time at home sleeping....i seldom study nowadays....i read when there's a discussion the next day...and i realized that i must eat Kiwi fruit everyday....i have to stock them in the fridge....and i also tend to eat "asam kulit limau", my favourite, but not that much...

and when i'm oncall, dear hubby would follow me to the hospital and stay in the doctor's room to keep me accompanied...thank you, dear....

and lately i feel like eating lasagne in the middle of the night and i'm craving for corn in cup...

week 7

i'm still having this on and off giddiness and sometimes excessive hungry until i feel like fainting....i make sure that i have some sweets or chocolates in my my pockets and bag as well...i also experienced excessive sleepiness and tiredness....

my appetite has improved but my weight is still maintaining at around 53-54kg, not more than that....and dear hubby booked a night stay at Putrajaya Shangri-La just to have a different environment other than home and it was a very nice stay...but i was surprised that i can't enjoy much their scrumptious buffet breakfast...i felt a bit nauseous to taste all the food...

and i started craving for McDonald's which i have abstained from for a few months while i was trying to get my weight down....i really love their double cheeseburger....

and it's time for another ultrasound...my friend and i, we were trying hard to locate the sac but there was my bowel shadow overlying it...so cannot visualize it that good...but i think my dear foetus is somewhere there, probably the ultrasound machine is quite old and the view was not that good...

anyway, i'm very positive about this pregnancy...and next week, i'm going to make a proper check up with my obstetrician...

week 6

the previous week went on smoothly...there was no sign and symptoms of early pregnancy yet apart from the breast tenderness...to my surprise, i lost about 1 kg in 1 week, despite eating normally and my appetite was still good...

then along the way, i started to feel nauseaous and giddy...i can't stand long doing ward rounds and i really hate Tuesday and Thursday because i don't have clinics on these days and i have to stand for a long time to do ward rounds....!

i started to purge almost every morning and there were days i cannot tolerate food...my mouth felt dry and bitter....i ended up sucking sweets and drinking ribena....and i lost another 2 kg within 1 week....my weight was 53kg....

i started to feel tired very easily and i spent most of my time sleeping...i hardly read my books nowadays...

i asked my friend to do scan on me but it's too small to be visualized...maybe we'll do another scan next week....

Jihan is very excited of her new baby brother or sister....we all are!!

week 5

i was oncall again the next week...there was no sign of menses....and i haven't done any UPT yet...i was scared...what if it turned out to be negative..? with the delayed menses, i really hope that i'm pregnant...but what if i'm not..? and if i'm pregnant, i really hope i can cope with my studies at the same time...

i decided to buy a UPT kit the next day...i want to do it myself, though i can get it done for free at the clinic....dear hubby didn't know i bought the kit...

so, i tested it out...and the kit absorbed my urine...and the first line appeared...HAH??? i looked at the packaging, the first line was the test....then i looked at my kit again, the second line appeared....so 2 visible lines appeared on the kit...!!!!

i took my bath and left the kit on the wash basin...then hubby entered the bathroom and he was surprised to see the kit too....

we were so happy with this result...though some change of plans need to be made...we've been trying for the past 1 and 1/2 years and alhamdulillah, thank you Allah for this blessings...

week 4

i was oncall and i was expecting my menses...at the same time i hope i won't come yet because it's difficult for me to oncall if i have dysmenorrhea...

well, it still didn't come until a few days later...i wasn't sure of how i felt...me period had been regular since i lost a lot of weight from my exercise and good diet control...and i don't think i was stress enough for my menses to be late...

thinking back, we weren't having SI during the ovulation period, well it was a few days before the ovulation and it was unprotected...and that was ONCE during the fertile period...we can't be hitting the lottery!!??!!

i don't want to be so excited because i don't want to end in a frustration ...

let's just wait...
