Signs To Meet The Little One

At 9 months pregnant and spending most of the time waiting for signs the little one to pop out is like a game. The longer you wait the more nervous and worry you are. Once (you think) it happens, you'll get excited (nervous tu masih ada), running to the washroom, and knowing it's false alarm, that's it, you have to start the waiting game all over again. So being a temporary housewife who stays at home alone from 8am to 8pm, you can't avoid but to play the game and be alert on the signs 24/7 all by yourself.. Hihihi..

Besides the obvious leakage/rupture of amniotic fluids and spotting, I've been counting my Little One's kicks that must be 10-12 times in 12 hours which usually starts from 9am for the past 2 weeks. Ive heard cases whereby some mommies can't feel the baby's kicks even at 8 months of pregnancy and later found out that the babies not survived. Na'uzubillah.

This morning, I found out that Little One was testing my nerves. At 9.30am, I couldn't feel him. So I asked my husband whether he can as he's always full of theories. He was so cute, he actually whispered to the Little One 'Bangun la baby Y..Mak dah risau tu..' and softly shake my tummy. Too bad, his theory was not really helping this time as Little One was still enjoying to play this nerves testing game. But husband kept on telling me nothing to worry. Little One might be sleeping and would want to wake up late.

I was like telling my husband 'But my mommy-sense said no'. I need to see my gynae so at about 10.15am, I was in the car with my husband to Pusrawi. Muka husband pun mcm ish-layan-kan-je-lah-my-think-too-much-wife-ni..

After about 10 minutes of driving, suddenly I felt Little One's kick. A strong one. and followed by another strong double kick. And I could see my tummy was actively moving. My muka yang tadi macam confident cakap I kan ada mommy sense tu pun told the husband 'Jomlah kita patah balik rumah. Baby Y dah kick dah ni.. hehe.. I belanja breakfast jom :p'..Jadi we all pun patah balik, had a good roti canai at the nearby mamak. Hihihi.. (naughty baby!! :p)

Sorry husband.. I love you and baby so much!! And hello Little One, Mak really can't wait to see, hug and kiss you!!

Not a Depression, I Hope! :p

I may say that I'm emotionally disturbed during my last few weeks of pregnancy (minggu lepas and juga sekarang ini okayy..). InsyaAllah I can manage the Braxton Hicks which attacks quite often :p but not when (part of the) environment is like going against me. I know, it's not good for the baby. (Sorry baby. Mak still loves you so very much).

I don't know about other pregnant ladies, but for me, during the last week of pregnancy which I get tired easily, all I want is a peace and comfortable place.  So when my sisters are laughing out loud, I can't stop but to ask them to slow down, until one of them twitted something like this, 'It's amazing that after 26 years living together, u have changed in just half of the year.' I was surprised, frustrated, sad, angry and felt unfair that they do not understand what my priorities are and is this what I suppose to get after husband and I sacrificed our privacy at our own home. :(  Husband asked me to forget it as I should have concentrated more on the little one in me and be happy. Sigh..

During the checkup at hospital just now, gynae was telling me that the baby is not engage yet and I haven't dilate even a cm even though I have only a week to go. And through her experience, most of her patients in this kinda situation will end up with a caesarian delivery.  I was quite sad at first as most of pregnant ladies want to experience the normal way of delivery. But why must I let double sadness in me kan? So let's redha, asalkan me and baby love selamat. InsyaAllah.. :) Please pray for me, dear readers.

Oh by the way, with all the technology wonders we're having currently, why is the dilation checking still using the doc's finger?? Dear scientists around the world, I'll be very very happy if something invented like a camera that give us the result just with a snap? Orrr... at least a glove made from jellies and not latex! Rasa zasss tauu!

Somehow I feel weird some ladies feel beautiful and sexy during pregnancy. Like otherwise, I'm actually feel fat, oily, stink, low self esteem and dark. Hehehe.. Googled, they claim it's normal for preggies to feel that way. Pheww... I'm normal by the way..

See how oily and dark I was!! (Obviously I was the one in polka dots). Pic was taken during the Raya Haji 2012/1433 with the in laws.

Husband said that me staying alone at home alone so long isn't really a good idea because he said I think too much. But thanks anyway because I unpacked all the things in boxes since we moved here in April, sweep and wipe the house, do laundry and I can sleep whenever I wanted to!

Sigh..I hope this is just a temporary hormone changing period I'm facing and not a depression!!

I'm at 37 weeks!

I think time really fly fast for this last few weeks. Still remember the day I knew I'm pregnant, I almost wanted to ask husband to bring me to at least 3 clinics to make sure my test kit was correct. Kiasu kan? Hehe..

And today just realized that our baby will pop out anytime soon!! Oh my, feels like 37 weeks I went through are like 37 days hehe..

Muka yang sgt excited and super nervous at the same time. 

Please pray that everythings gonna be ok ya. InsyaAllah..

Little Baby In Me :D

I thought blogging will keep me occupied during my almost-a-month-of-medical-leave besides doing the laundry and checking out husband's old pics /gossips (hehehe).  Surprisingly it took me hours just for a line and yes, I still blame the smartphones, twitter, facebook, beautiful nara and instagram that I'm too attached with. I just dont know how to write anymore! Erghh..

Ok.. phew.. coming back to what makes me wanna write today is something that I dont mind sharing, which has changed me from S size M size to XXL size and I'm loving it! *jump jump.. eh eh tak boleh lompat2 pls* Im currently in the final trimester of my pregnancy and patiently (not really because I just cant wait!) waiting to see the baby in me!! :D

Alhamdulillah, I didn't experience any morning sickness. (Tp orang2 tua cakap nanti bersalin susah. Tak tahu lah. Let's pray a lot to Allah everything's gonna be fine soon). But during the 2nd to 3rd month, I had spotting and gynae said it's normal. Some bodies cant accept additional 'creature' in the beginning and thus 'rejection' (terms used by my gynae) happens. I was required to take antibiotic and need a lot of rest as this can lead to miscarriage. Alhamdulillah, the spotting only lasts for few days.

During my 2nd trimester, I had urine infection (which I think was because of I tahan my pee on my trip to Pulau Perhentian hehe) and fever for almost a week. I still remember gynae gave me some kinda antibiotic and I drank lots of barlies (without sugar). Alhamdulillah, Allah granted our prayers, the infection and fever cooled down after that.

In the earlier months of my 3rd trimester, I already experienced the braxton hicks (BH). My tummy becomes stiff and I cant hardly breath whenever it happens (still experiencing it) which lasts for 1-2 minutes.  I thought it was normal until the BH became too frequent (every 10 minutes) regardless whether I'm standing, sitting or walking eventhough my pregnancy haven't reach the full term (37th week and above) yet. Gynae was surprised and told me this is called as 'premature contraction' and  can lead to premature labour.  I was required to take Ventolin until my pregnancy reach 37 weeks to control and reduce the frequent BH/contractions and also to relax the muscles.  I was also warded a night at the hospital and injected twice with some kinda liquid which I've forgotten the medicine's name untuk  matangkan the baby's paru-paru just in case I'll deliver earlier.

 Tengok lah siapa yg makan tuu :p

The only thing I remember was, the injections were considered (sangat) sakit and terasa panas di bahagian injected for about 1/2 an hour. Hihi..

So now I'm all time at home menunggu hari of labour. Hopefully everything goes well to me and also the baby, insyaAllah. :) Love you baby! I'm so a mommy to be! :D
