week 22-25














i've been lacking in updating my pregnancy journal...the reason being, i'm too lazy...anyway, the pregnancy went on smoothly....occasionally i got constipation and 2nd degree haemorrhoids...and i've started craving for chocolates....yummmmm.....!!! i just love them so much..i've been buying the cadbury's chocolate milk bars and they are so milky and satisfying....!


and my mum was recently diagnosed with diabetes through opportunistic screening that i did on her...gosh! that means, i need to do a MGTT for myself....and i forgot to tell my obs about that..nevermind, i'll do the test first and tell him the result later...


my weight during the antenatal check up was 56.1kg...the baby was moving actively especially when i sleep during the nighttime....


my sister got back from Australia for a break...and we had a short break at Tasik Kenyir and Kuantan...(we had a wet and rainy days in Tasik Kenyir...) but it was a nice place to go....had a bot ride in the rain...!!! had lovely satar and otak-otak and keropok lekor at Kuala Kemaman..yummm!!


and Jihan had succesfully toilet-trained herself, both wee-wee and poo-poo in the toilet...yeay!!!!

week 21


my next antenatal check up....i weighed 55.1kg...an increment of 3kg after fasting month....i have to properly watch my diet after this....and this time, my obstetrician really look into the sex of my baby...and there it was, the pointed penis, probably my fetus was peeing at that time...hahahaha!!!!!


so, that weekend i forced hubby to take me to Ikea...i was really craving for the Ikea's meatballs...so we went out early and reached there at 11am....they haven't served the hot food yet...we got our seats and rushed myself to the long queue to get my meatballs...bought 2 sets of kiddies meatballs and a set af kiddies pasta for Jihan...


yummm....it was so satisfying....


i am in the midst of training jihan to toilet train..so far, no progress....she must be toilet-trained when his new brother arrives....reduce the cost for disposable nappies!!!

week 20

little cinderella at work


we were preparing for our Hari Raya Open House on the weekend...i made some dessert - carrot cake, mini fruit tartlets and some baked pasta...my bump had not showed itself that obvious but i felt tight when i wore my sarung for the baju kurung...what was more obvious was my boops...hahaha!!!


my appetite was good...i think i need to slow down a bit on my eating habits....and i've been neglecting my haematinics...and i did not take any milk at all..my throat didn't seem to accept the taste of milk at the moment...i remembered when i was pregnant with Jihan, i drank the whole carton of HL fresh milk a day and i obediently took my obimin....but this time, i was a bit naughty..sorry, baby...but i hope you got all the nutritients from my other foods that i eat...


the kick was more obvious now....every now and then i feel the tiny kicks....

week 19


i had my detail scan done...the sonographer measured every parts of my fetus including its earlobe, feet, cerebellum, etc and all found to be normal....i asked her to check the sex again, just to confirm the finding earlier before raya...well, she said it was a girl...i screamed out, WHAT!!!!???!!! my obstetrician said it was a boy....! well, she thoroughly scanned it again but my fetus just too shy to show off his thing....then she concluded, it may be a boy...


anyway, at first i was quite sad because we really hope that this will be a boy...but it didn't matter, i'm glad it was in a good condition...


that weekend, we went to One utama again...all of us were craving for another round of Sushi Groove...i bougth 2 maternity pants and we fed the big fishes at the pond....later we went to Alamanda and we had a shot of Starbucks (i took the decaf one) and Jihan had a go at the swings and slides....


phew...!

week 18




it's after raya break...i was feeling hungry easily...i must take something before i start the day, like biscuits or a piece of bread...then i start my day by doing ward rounds....and i always feel giddy after a long hour of standing...and i need to eat something heavy after that...i usually take nasi kerabu or meehoon goreng and that can keep me going until 3 in the afternoon..i seldom take my lunch...usually i'll just take something light...i don't want the excessive weight gain (though i already feel that i'm balloning up!)


i started to feel a small kick in my belly but it was infrequent....i can still fit into my baju kurung but sometimes it was very uncomfortable for me...


a lot of open houses to attend...i also made an engagement cake for my sister's friend...i'm doing my detail scan next week, hopefully....

week 17


it's hari raya and i'm glad i'm still able to fit into my kebaya that was made before i got pregnant! and this is the time for me to put on weight that i've been losing during the fasting months...i had periods of non stop eating when i went back to kampung...the foods were superb and mervellous...!


long journey was tiring for me and the full stomach made me uncomfortable...i kept a pack of dried asam in my handbag to ease my nauseous feelings....


and i'm glad i didn't have constipation problems during hari raya even though i ate a lot...that's because i ate a lot of fresh pucuk ubi while i was in kampung...so that's made my bowel functioned very well....


i've started planning to satisfy my craving appetite in advance...Ikea meatballs, Jusco assam laksa, Sushi Groove (again!)....yum, yum,,,just can't wait!!!

week 16


went for my third antenatal check up....this time i weighed myself on the digital weighing machine and i weighed 52.3kg...


during scan, i was so amazed to see my fetus was growing big...i can see its spine, its face, its tiny fingers and toes and it was so cute....the parameters were according to its date...and we saw its gender too!!!!! we were so excited about it....probably we're having an XY baby this time...it showed so well even though he was still small...


i'm going to do a detail scan with a 3D image the next 2 weeks....


with the Aidilfitri coming, i was so excited....i can't stand the early morning stomach turmoil anymore...i hope this remaining Ramadhan, i'll be able to complete my fasting....

week 15

we started shopping for Aidilfitri....this year, i didn't tailor-made my baju kurung although i already got the materials ready....i was scared i wasn't able to fit into it as i will be 17 weeks pregnant during Aidilfitri....but until today, i can still fit into my old baju kurung and i haven't gain too much weight during this Ramadhan..
this year, our theme colour will be pinkish, marron and the shades in between...and i'm not making any cookies this year...
my stomach turmoil was still there in the early morning and i really hate that...

week 14

i started to feel not so good especially after sahur...i tend to vomit when i was brushing my teeth, everyday without fail!! and i ended up late to work (not that late, i arrived about 7.40 but i need to come earlier)...
and my left sacro iliac joint pain was getting worse even when i was walking and lying flat....sometimes, i just need to rest...
however, i really enjoy iftar time...my appetite was so good....i tried out the nasi kukus ayam dara kota bharu and it was damn good!!!
i'm already 14 weeks but i can hardly feel my uterus...hubby said, i already have too much fat deposited on my tummy that's why i cannot feel for them...Pouty

week 13


happy merdeka day, Malaysia...and yes, we went camping on the merdeka day in Hulu Langat...it was a resort by the river and Jihan was so amazed with the 'sungei' as she called it...


Ramadhan came and i went through my first day fasting quite good...and i was craving for so many things for the iftar....for the first day, i asked mum to buy nasi kerabu and nasi dagang for me with martabak as well...


the subsequent day was manageable for me...though i was feeling weak and nauseated still in the morning, but i was able to stay strong until iftar, alhamdulilah...


still unable to perform terawikh during the first week of Ramadhan..i was excessively tired after iftar and i usually sleep until sahur....

week 12


went for my second antenatal check up....the morning sickness had slightly became better but i was still feeling excessively tired...i can't eat too much though, because i felt easily nauseated after meals...


my weight has not changed much and i didn't trust that weighing machine at the clinic..it's the old, manual one that you have to adjust yourself until the beam was straight (like the ones that they used to weigh rubber or palm or coffee beans in the olden days)..i gave me 55.8kg on that...but my machine at home gave me around 52 kg...


my skin was getting more dry and i have to change to Sebamed shower oil instead of my normal Bodyshop...and i started to use the normal Aquoues cream that i got from the clinic (the big 500g tub)


during scan, i saw my cute little fetus was very, very responsive to touch..it was jumping around vogorously and his strong heart was beating well...i can see the head and body differentiation very clearly now and its 4 little limbs were kicking and punching all the way...he was growing well as expected..


with the Ramadhan coming, i hope i can fast the whole Ramadhan like i used to do when i was pregnant with Jihan 3 years ago...

week 11

went to watch Wall- E with hubby n Jihan...love it! then visit my good friend who had just delivered a baby boy in Klang...

i'm feeling ok...but kept having on and off left sacro iliac joint pain....i never had this pain during my 1st pregnancy with Jihan....i wasn't sure what was the cause...

the good thing was, my psoting in Kajang is coming to the end...how glad i was...i really hate to drive alone nowadays...i love being pampered by my hubby....

i had a few courses to attend this week and next week...

and i failed in one of the courses and had to repeat the test after raya...i was so sad...but nevermind...

i seldom sent Jihan to her playschool this few weeks...hubby usually accompanied her...i had datelines to catch for my write up...and i was feeling sick to get up early morning, especially during the weekend... and i began to slow down going out to shopping malls during the weekend...

going for the 2nd antenatal check next week...

week 10

sorry, i've been delaying putting the latest updates in this blog...the reason being, i was quite busy, at the same time i was lazy and i was damn tired, and sometimes i felt sick...

this week, again i went to sushi groove to satisfy the pregnant mother's appetite....we tried different sushi this time and it tasted good...

otherwise, i was feeling so, so...always feel dizzy when i stand for a long time...

i need a good rest...a long one and i just wish i am a fulltime housewife who can just stay at home to sleep...hahahah...

week 9



i am really craving for a corn in cup!!!...i went to tesco and giant and went back feeling frustrated because nobody sells the conr in cup there!! then my dear mum realized that there were some frozen corn in the freezer so she made one bowl for me...yummy!!..but i still went to midvalley the next day to get Nelson's corn in cuo, to my surprise the price has gone up!!


i had an impacted wisdom tooth and it had become swollen again after i had a very bad episode about 9 months ago....i think this is mainly due to pregnancy when you tend to get swollen gum so it presses onto the tooth and the nerves surrounding it...i had to put ice onto it to relieve the pain and swelling...it's terrible!!!


and i'm still having a yo-yo appetite...hey, i'm also craving for sushi, particularly the ones in SushiGroove....and we went there to have some sushi....hmm...yummy!!!


and i'm still not gaining weight...and hubby took my blood for antenatal screening...i'm really scared of needles...that's why i only asked hubby to take my blood and we did it at home...because i tend to scream when he poked the needle into me!!!!


i'm getting lazier and lazier each day...i love sleeping nowadays...

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...


Tuesday, July 22, 2008

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...
