Pregnancy forgetfulness.
If I ever suffer from it.. The times where it’s most apparent is during my gynae visits. I always have tonnes and tonnes of questions between my visits, but each time I step into the consultation room.. I usually forgot at least 50% of the questions and go “aiyah, forget to ask again!” after I stepped out. Didn’t help that my gynae’s clinic is always packed and he is always trying see everyone all the time. Speaks damn fast and for a few times, I actually caught him having a half-eaten burger lying on the table or munching through one between consultations, not that it matters or bothers me. I’m…

Medela breast pump from the US
Just for the record.. If you are ever intending to buy a US model (please do, because the savings is very significant).. You don’t need to use a voltage transformer here in Singapore because it works.. Just like all my other US appliances (ASUS netbook, toshiba laptop) that I own. I just charged mine yesterday for 24hrs and it works perfectly fine, despite my aunt checking with the sales person in US and they confirming that it is not auto-voltage and cannot be used. Wth?! sometimes, I really do wonder if they really know what they are talking about (you’ll be surprised to know that many many US residents/citizens never…

The miserable slob that I am..
Or turning into. I’m not sure if the home rest with the doc’s mc is a good thing. I’m definitely one of those that treasure my mobility A LOT, and being stuck at home in pain is no fun. Especially since I can’t really find a comfortable position to lie in for long without feeling aches and pain especially with the weight that im bearing. I still remember when I had that ligament surgery some years back, I snuck out in the evening with my crutches on the day I was discharged from the hospital, much to the horror of my mum. Yes, never mind that I hopped into a…

Pictures of the last 2 weeks and more
Feeling more and more unattractive as the days goes by. Am I suffering from self-esteem issues or what? Hate all my clothes and I had to keep wearing the same old stuff over and over for the last few weeks. I got a whole bunch of new maternity clothes that arrived late in march (the retailer bungled up my online order and my aunt cancelled her trip in late feb) so I figured that I’m gonna sell them off since I no longer have any need for them anymore. Sigh. Will post them up soon so if you are keen, can look out for it over the weekend. Mostly from…

Week 38 & 4 days
This week’s update is late, mainly because I wanted to capture the gynae’s visit and updates here as well, which happened yesterday. Well, well.. Almost at the end! I could feel it physically, literally. The usual swim session on Sunday didn’t happen last weekend. The boy refused to let me go as I was suffering from pelvic pain (feels like the bone is mis-aligned) and I could hardly raise my left leg at all. Walking is a pain with every single step and I cannot put any pressure without feeling the pain.. So instead of waddling like most preggie women do, I waddle with a limp. It’s quite a sight…

Feeling vulnerable.
This whole pregnancy shit really throws me off sometimes., I didn’t feel like I am in control, especially of my body. I can’t help but feel vulnerable at times. Like how I cannot control my sleeping pattern, I keep having interrupted sleep ad waking up in the middle of the night. Can’t control my stomach on when it decides to keep the food I take or make me throw up just moments after.. This morning is a typical example. I woke, tried to sleep and can’t.. Felt hungry so had a small bowl of kokocrunch, and just moments later when I lie down to rest and possibly nap before I…

the fun saturday morning…

Bok bok bok.. It’s goes!
A visual representation of jerry’s heartbeat on the CTG machine! It was a long wait and an uncomfortable 20 mins as I didn’t quite dare to move. There were times where Jerry moved about and the heartbeat rate changes, other times, I find myself unconsciously holding my breath (ain’t sure why!).. And I do get real nervous when his heartbeat increases. =) At times, it goes up to 150 which freaks me out a little. Well, at the end of it all.. I’m just glad that he’s fine! How the machine looks like, just for the record. Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone.

thoughts on the pregnancy journey..
i am staring at the screen for like the looooongest time, and i have no clue how to pen down the thoughts i had in my head. i feel like a bad mother-to-be today. i went to see the gynae today and its seems that jerry is a little too small than he is supposed to be at week 37. the gynae sounded a little concerned, but he was telling me that it may be a good thing because it means it’s easier to give birth since its a smaller baby. i’m not sure if he was just trying to encourage me and assuring me that everything will be fine.…

Late night snack for the baby
As if the 4am insomnia for the last 2 months isn’t a good enough torture, I gave been waiting up feeling really hungry these days. Feels like I’m back in my first trimester when I had to munch biscuits in the dark (for fear of waking hubby)! So these couple of days, I have been surviving on this! Koko krunch! I’m on my 2nd box in just a couple of days.. Good thing that the fridge is well stocked of milk by the hubby! Now that my baby is satisfied, I can go back to sleep!
