WEEK 13 : End of My 1st Trimester

Alhamdulillah.. i would say everything seems okay tho lots of things made me sick sometime.. last week i had flu n fever. Quite scary actually.. i dun want to hurt my baby but i couldn't help myself to eat all those fruits - durian, rambutan, pulasan.. my favs okay! so maner bleh tahan. Plus, my brother in law sanggup balik Taiping to get his durian Taiping because of me yg cravings nih. Hence, when he jz arrived, we all balun puas2. I did not eat a lot. jz about 5 ulas jer... I think Hubby makan lagi banyaks.. like he was the one yg cravings. Hehehe..

After a few days, I couldn't breath normally, I had flu. Office works made me tense additional to my other tasks, where I had to finish my intepretation of Mega Merge Project by this August. So, my body temperature was getting high. Some say, we cant be so much in stressful mode.. pregnancy is much more than that.. we are too fragile. I was scared. I wanted to see my gynae but i know we will waste our time in waiting in line. So, I've decided to take Panadol Soluble since I did remember my gynae once told me that Panadol is fine with us.

Poor Hubby.. I knew he worried about me n our baby. Well, I'm pretty sure our baby is fine in here... I'm getting better now. Now, the first trimester has ended and I am starting with my 2nd trimester, a crucial and possibly tough period i think. They said more relaxed phase begins in this trimester, but, I am not sure about that. The symptoms still on. Vomitting, nausea and heartburn often occured until now. I jz hope its slowly vanished soon..hahaha..

And this moment I comfortably share the great news of the pregnancy with colleagues and friends. Since most miscarriages occur in the first trimester, I believed many people feel more secure in announcing the pregnancy in the second trimester kan? But, kat my ofc da mmg da kecoh da... so, i can do nothing la..

From the book, it tell us that even though it will take quite some time before they come out, all 20 teeth have now been formed! The baby’s pancreas has also started to produce insulin. The intestines are migrating from the umbilical cord into her of his tummy. The baby weighs about 28 to 30 grams now; the placenta now weighs about the same. The baby size is around 3/4 inches.

Honestly, I can't wait to see my gynae soon because I wanna see our baby yang comel tu.. nak tgk dia gerak2 tak mcm da first we saw our baby moved. Hihihi... really really can't wait...

Amazing!

13 July 2007

Can you see that? That’s our baby – 10 weeks and 3 days. Well it’s becoming the last month of my first trimester, 2 weeks more to go. But I would say the symptoms still be going under my expectations. Sometimes I felt like ok but sometime I jz need time to have a good rest. The symptoms still going strong as usual as it will never stop. I don’t know and I’m not sure when it’s going to be ended. From the book that I’ve been reading, the symptoms may stop after the first trimester or may be not. I am still suffering from nauseas and vomiting thingy. However everything is not matter to me as soon as I saw our baby on the monitor… hik! And thanks to dearest Hubby yang sabar jer dgn my pregnancy thingy ni... hehehe... Love you..

We’ve changed our gynae. After we were listening to many people about our gynae, Datuk Dr. Nora, the rumors haunted me. God! I jz want to be normal, deliver as normal as my mom, my sisters… so that I can feel the pain while delivering the baby like our mom did. The rumors about Dr. Nora always wanted her patients do caesarean made me scared. After discussed with Hubby, we’ve decided to see another gynae in PMC – Dr. Idris. Even he doesn’t have ‘Datuk’ title but we believed in him and it was recommended by my Angah. Angah told me everything about him. He is a good gynae, very soft spoken, knowledgeable, friendly and most important thing he isn’t busy as Dr. Nora.

So, last Friday we went to see him. Yes, he is like our father. Old… fatherly… soft spoken and he told us everything about pregnancy provided us do not know anything about it. When he was checking me, he explained everything what is inside there. The size of uterus, the vagina, etc and there was… our little one. Oh my God! Our baby was moving, the legs, the hands and even the head. Its like our baby wanted to say something.. may be…”Mama..papa… I’m here..!!” I was like so happy, I jz wanted to cry but I know it sounds embarrassing to cry in front of gynae. But, I tell you what; I bet every mother in this world will feel like I felt that time. How incredible and fantastic the creation of God. SubhanAllah...

According to Dr. Idris, the size of our baby is jz fine and he/she still developing. Our baby is a fetus now. From the book, the baby is about the size of an apple. The head, the eyes, the legs and the hands have developed. Inside the fetus mouth, taste buds have developed and one day become baby teeth have formed. Baby is making urine now, and that’s why I have to go to bathroom frequently rather than usual.

Now, we jz can’t wait. Can’t wait to see Dr. Idris again. We couldn’t forget the visual of our baby… when he/she moved… really… really made us smile. .. :) Sooooo cooomeeelll!

been a while

i've been meaning to write in this blog tapi tak sempat because we were busy moving in our stuff into new house, and also some other things i have to take care of at work . azah is doing fine it seems though the pregnancy symptoms still ader...all-day-sickness..hehehe...not just morning sickness...lepas tu fatigue...n takde mood...i feel like at times she seems to 'dislike' me being around...cam nyampah jer...hehehe...normal kot perempuan mengandung cam ni

maybe after this first trimester things will get better insya Allah...sian pun ader ...termuntah-muntah tu kalu tak sakit perut takper...and her constant stomach muscle cramps...i used to think that berkhatan is the most painful experience in the world

we're thinking of changing the gynae to another doctor...haven't shortlisted anybody yet...medical center pun maybe nak tukar...heard some cerita yang tak sedap didengar about current gynae...but yeah, there are other fishes in the sea...let's find out who's better suited for the job

i've been reading the 'what to expect when you are expecting' pregnancy guide book and i must tell you it does a lot at helping a clueless chap like me understand about the whole thing of pregnancy than just the basic concept of how a baby is conceived...hahaha...and we've been watching the 'in the womb' documentary on national geographic just so to appreciate every bit of pregnancy and what it means to us...it sure does mean a lot, and everything...love, life, and all...and i know the road to happiness doesn't end here...there's still long way to go and with a baby on its way, i just have to learn to put myself last...hehehe...boleh ker..?

everyday i ask azah when's the baby coming out? not just because i can't wait to meet the baby , but it's because i can't stand seeing her going through all the pain...i can understand why mothers are brokenhearted when their children never seem to appreciate the pain they have to go through bringing them into this world...it is so much pain i am apalled to know that children today think they don't owe their mothers anything right out of the amnion sack. don't they know they owe them (the mothers) 'life'.life was at a certain point, at stake.

apa la aku membebel ni but then, i'm just relieved to know that my wife is doing okay. tak ok takper i'll be around to take of her. even when she's so menyampah to see me,i'll be there. hehehe.
