Bring it on, contractions!

I bet if anyone could, they would skip contractions and go straight for labour.
Contractions could last for hours or maybe days, strangely this time around I want it so badly so that I can be done and over with it, lol!

No sign of real contractions so far, only Braxton-Hicks which I have been through for the last 2 months. It's hard to walk around with this huge belly, not to mention getting up from sitting position and lying down. I'm dreading my 3am bathroom routine, strangely enough I have to get up twice in the middle of the nite!

Hopefully this time it won't be overdue like Aresha (11 days! Must be some miscalculation, somewhere) Can't wait to see the little one. I've been reading over and over again on labour signs and wondering when is the bloody show?

I think it's been two nights in a row that I dreamt of having contractions when in reality there was none :(

I guess it's better for me to keep myself busy again, though frankly, I'm not in the mood of cooking anything fancy. Got a tub of cream cheese in the fridge, whip up some brownies perhaps?

false alarm

Last night, well, right after I'm done with preparing buka puasa dish, I had a really bad backache, not the usual ones this time it stretches all the way to my lower back. It's unbearable and baby is moving oh so actively, it feels like she's doing a somersault in there. Baby, you're not helping :P

We were thinking, is this a contraction? Oh dear, so totally not prepared for early labor.
I want to feast on those yummylicious raya delicacies, at least the first 3 days.
My hospital bag is not ready yet, baby clothes are not washed, my confinement bag pun tak ready.

I had trouble sleeping too! Went to bed at 12.30am endless shifting sides and when dear came in @ 2.30 am, I'm still wide awake!
The movements are just so strong that whatever position I tried, failed miserably. I guess there isn't much space left, so even the slightest movement felt like a poke from the inside.

This could be just Braxton-Hicks contractions and now I'm kinda used to stomach tightening routine. 5 more weeks to go, please stay in mommy's tummy till it's time ok?

Let's see how it goes tomorrow, could be my last check up with Dr B before transferring to a govt. hospital.

I don't know why I feel like going to mamak and had some drinks tonight. Waiting for my dear to finish installing his carburetor for the 5th time, hmpphh!

of weddings and baju kurungs

Oh wow, it's exactly a month since I last updated my blog, this is insane!
Well, I'm just too lazy to get my fat ass upstairs, and rather glued to the tv all day to be exact.
But now even lying down for few minutes causing me backache and leg cramps!
Is that a sign for me to get myself busy? Haha.
Sign or not, I'll just do whatever I feel like doing. hehe

Good news, hematoma is completely gone (what a relief),alhamdulillah :) baby is growing accordingly and healthily.
I'm trying not to eat so much to avoid ballooning like my previous pregnancy, stick to the healthy food, vitamins and milk!


I got my brother-in-law's engagement this weekend and already bought a nice traditional kerongsang for the kebaya(which I can still fit it but to my horror, I can't even do the zippers! There goes my RM55!

So what should I do now,less than 4 days, I desperately need a new sarong.
Dear just laughed at me silly,
'Cannot fit in already?'
You're not helping at all my dear.

Now I got Ajeep's wedding at the end of the month and more than 5 kain to send to tailor.
What's the most flattering design for a very pregnant mommy (by then, Erie's wedding in August)

Ok, I'm not gonna blab, off to bed now. Hope that I'll find solutions soon!

Bun in the oven

I was on bed rest the last few weeks.
Nauseous, fatigue and it's been almost a month that our dapur tak berasap(read I didn't cook at all)

I guess most of my closest friends and family already knew that I am pregnant.
As Dr B said 9 weeks 5 days (yes we switch from Dr A to Dr B)

This pregnancy is DIFFERENT.
with Aresha my morning sickness is only 2 weeks but this baby, don't even let me go to the kitchen even the smell of fried eggs would make me nauseous.

Dear has to put up with me, he has to cook his own breakfast and we now eat out almost every single day.

Last Monday nite, 9pm I bleed and we all went panic.
Out of the blue I felt like having my period again, which is impossible, right?

Too late to go to the gynae, we decided to wait till tomorrow.
I texted Ain, she replied early in the morning.

It is called threatened miscarriege.

We had the ultrasound scan and to be honest we already prepared for the worst.
Maybe not our rezeki this time.

I'm having subchorionic hematoma, bleeding at some part of the placenta.

You can see it from the scan, there's a huge hole in my placenta.

Alhamdulillah the fetus is growing healthily and we can hear the heartbeat.
What a relief! Even Aresha saw her sibling as she called it sleeping baby.

I was given a hormone and it's funny to see Aresha's reaction when the doctor put the needle in my arms. She seems so furious like 'what the hell is he doing to my mommy?'

And I'm now on duphaston for few weeks and scheduled for another checkup in 2 weeks time.

We just hope that we can get through the whole pregnancy without any complication.

I was told to have plenty of rest.

So, there goes my first entry on the second pregnancy.

I'm off to rest now, talk to y'all soon!

How to conceive a baby boy

Finally, I'm ready to have another baby and I know gender of the baby is in Allah's will but with the technology and knowledge, no harm trying kan?
Regardless of the gender, boy or girl, we just hope it will be a healthy baby.

Time to get my baking soda stocks ready, ditch dairy foods (and forget about drinking milk for a while) and get Mr. Skuirt (eh, lain macam plak bunyi dia, lol!) to drink lotsa coffee, to keep the sperms active!

I'll definitely share my findings & research here. Just you wait :)
