32 Weeks +++

Amazing! In less than 10 mins, I got to see the Dr today. Thanks to the nurse in charge who called me to let me know the best time to come. Today, we saw our son's hair! Yes he is not bald hehe. And he is 1.8 kgs now. I've gained 0.5 kg since my last visit to see Dr Premitha 3 weeks ago. Total weight gain to date is 10kgs! I experienced the contraction like pain twice today. OMG they were painful! But the breathing technique works. The pain only lasted for about 30 secs. Hmmmmm.... I can't wait to hold my son. We have his car seat and changing mat ready now though his cot is not up yet. I'll wait until I'm about 36 weeks for that ;) hubby almost dances when he talks about his son. The joy of expecting your first child is amazing. once in awhile, I think about our frozen eggs in the lab....my babies are in the lab. I hope they too are doing ok....

31 weeks +++

Hello, I am officially in my third trimester now. I recently visited Dr Premitha at 29 weeks pregnant and waited 2 hours and 45 minutes to see her. It was horrible. I felt like giving up. I am not sure if the wait is worth my time. Even with appointment, I had to wait that long :( Anyway, at 30 weeks, I went to FMGC to see Dr Rahman for an additional check for second opinion. All looks good but of course, I didn't get to see my baby's face. He is a placenta kisser, per Dr Raman. Well, as long as he is well and healthy, I'm happy. My baby weighs 1.53kg at 30 weeks. Quite heavy! I'm going to see Dr Premitha for my 32 weeks checkup soon. I hope the wait will not be too long this time. My coccyx pain is still there...ive been feeling really tired lately, hence no time and mood to blog. But I'll try my best to update once in awhile. And oh, hubby bought a new car for the baby :) we now have a seven seater car! It is obvious hubby wants a big family but let's take it slow for now k :) Till next time!

26 weeks

The waiting time at Pantai was horrendous today, 1.5 hours to be exact! Thank God baby is doing good. Dr Premitha has suggested that I go for antenatal classes soon. I've now registered for the classes. Other than that, my visit to Pantai has been increased to once every 3 weeks. That is good because I get to see my baby more frequently. Until now, I still haven't seen his face! :( I received an email from Dr Prashant asking how am I doing. How nice of him! Thanks Doc for checking. If only he can be the one who helps me to deliver... Anyway, to date, my only complication is coccyx pain. I have trouble sitting down as my tailbone hurts badly when it touches any type of surface. I have been referred to see Dr Kok, an orthopedic at Pantai. He told me nothing can be done since I am pregnant. The pain in unusual but it is probably the side effect of me falling from a one story building 11 years ago ;) I am now using a rubber ring and a massive nursing pillow to sit on any type of chairs. Now I know that it is tough being a mother ;) I now look forward to my 29 weeks app as I am now officially in my third trimester. Thank you God for this wonderful experience!

Just a quick entry...we went for a 3D scan at FMGC. I was hoping to see Dr Rahman, but he was not around. Hence, we went to see Dr Patrick.

Good news - Baby is healthy :) and 220gram overweight for his age :D

Bad news - Mummy didnt get to see his face because he was busy scratching his bum and holding his penis! Oh boy ;) Per Dr Patrick, this is the second time in his career as a doc to see a baby in such position. Dont blame me, ask the father! :D

I now look forward to see Dr Premitha for my 26 weeks appointment. As for myself, i am huge now! Baby is gaining weight, so am i! To date, no scratchmarks...i have been applying L'occitane Skin Oil every day without fail :)

Have a good weekend!

At 22 weeks +++

Yes, the baby is still a boy :)

At 5.5 months pregnant, I've gained 5 kgs pre pregnancy. On track so far. My yoga classes have been a great help to my cramp though it is not 100% gone. I guess the expanding boobs and tummy are putting so much weight on my small frame :( other than that, I'm thankful for the wonderful health to date.

Work has been crazy, I have 4 months before my EDD and I'm starting to feel nervous with the preparation. So I bought a new dress from Poplook yesterday. Hopefully it fits my pregnant body well ;) I'm gonna order the car seat soon. We have decided to order most of the baby stuffs from the uk and the states. Cheaper than Malaysia :) if only I have the time to browse the net...Haish...

I'm going for my 3 D scan soon. I hope to get some nice shot of my son :)I'll keep you ladies posted on my progress. Btw Nurse H from KL Fertility has left the practice. So sad but the rest of the wonderful team is still there :)

Take care everyone!

At 18+++ weeks

Hello hello :)

Alhamdulillah, we made it to the 18 weeks. Hubby and I went to see Dr Premitha for the first time at Pantai Hospital. I feel more comfortable at Pantai than DSH. So now it is the Doc. Dr Prashant thinks Dr Premitha is a good choice. Plus, they were once partners at Dr Prashant's practice before Dr Premitha moved to Pantai. A few if my friends recommended us to see Dr Premitha. So off we went to see her :)

Hubby likes her. Me? I like her too. She took her time with us, no rush and she explains well. She scanned my tummy in detail and provided the videos with the pictures in a DVD without even me asking for one :) she cares about my weight, so that is good! Same thinking as my mom, I think my mom will like her too! She thinks I can only gain a max of 13kgs throughout my pregnancy since I have a very small frame. So noted! :) most important of all, my baby is doing great. The baby is growing well and the baby has a big head since the head is the size of a 19 weeks baby! But per Dr Premitha, that is ok and by the next visit, the body will catch up and the head will grow at a slower rate.

Gender? :) hubby was in tears as the doctor made an announcement that our first born is a BOY, insyaAllah. Wow! I'm the eldest and I am girl. On my husband's side, all firstborn is a girl. So for the first time in the immediate family, the first born is a boy :) I am so excited! I am already in love with my son!!!! Dr Premitha was 100% confident that it is a boy since the balls and penis are very obvious. Our baby was showing off his body with full confidence :) i am grateful to God because so far, after what I have gone through, my baby is in pink of health and I hope he will stay that way until the full term, insyaAllah!

Our next visit to see Dr Premitha is in 4 weeks. She supplied us with some supplements which include calcium since my teeth need some extra help ;) my boy is absorbing most of my calcium!!!! Cost of our visit at Pantai is FOC, hooray! Not sure since my company is paying 100% of our medical bills, thank God!

I have emailed Dr Prashant and the gang at KL Fertility of the good news and Dr Prashant was happy with the news too! I cannot wait to see my baby and bring him out to see the world! Thank you all for reading :) I hope my story gives you hope that you too can have a child of your own, some day!
