Alhamdulillah, now I’m already in my 36 weeks, last few weeks/days of my wonderful pregnancy. I went to see my gynae today and told him that I’m having stronger n stronger period pain at my lower abdomen. He told me that it is a sign of my servic’s warming up for labor. He also told me to wait for at least another 1and half weeks more for delivery…hhehe…klakarlah my gynae ni..bole siap soh tunggu lagi! I think he is expecting my baby to come out within 10-14 days from now…so my next check up will be on the 3rd of June….Well, here are some changes that I’ve noticed quite different from my 1st pregnancy (This is just to share with readers, ape2 pun I redha with the differences….:))…..

1. Body – Ppl say I do not look like I’ve gained 20kgs…I dunno why but I do hope they give sincere comments!!Hahaha……My pre-pregnancy weight is 53kg and now at week 36 I’m already 72.9kg…my first pregnancy, I was 76kg at week 40 (I gained almost 25kg)!!! Hopefully, my baby not too big this time around…I’m praying hardly for a smooth 2nd delivery as I was advised by my previous gynae not to gain a lot of weight during my 2nd pregnancy…

2. Sleep – This time around I have so much difficulty sleeping. I can’t really have a ‘deep’ sleep since a few weeks back… I’m not able to sleep on my left side (the best sleeping position during 3rd trimester as sleeping on your back tends to press yr vein which supports blood circulation and may result of bad blood flow to your right side of your abdomen). Whenever I turned myself to the left (even with a pillow between my legs plus one at my back), I will feel muscle pain at my lower abdomen (especially at my thighs!!!). Sakit woww!!! Putting a lot of pillows behind my back,  thought to solve this problem but NO..I still can’t sleep comfortably!!!

Lastly, I still sleep on my back but I placed a small pillow on my right buttoks and that will make my body a little titled to the left…so my huge tummy will be ‘senget’ to the left and to support this ‘senget’ tummy I placed another small pillow on the left side of my body…hehe..i bet u guys can’t imagine this!!!hehehe..

Fyi, I have no sleeping trouble at all during my 1st pregnancy….so this time, I now know how it’s felt when ppl complain of having hard time sleeping during 3rd trimester….huhuhu.

While waiting for my turn to see my Gynae, I went to G floor to check out what Fabulousmom.com has to offer…They were having nursing wear SALE!!! I bought myself 2 pairs of their new sleep nursing bra called ‘Sarah’ (hahaha, bole sama plak nama I)…Dapat offer sket..RM29 each if u buy 2 pairs…individual price is RM35.90. But if u buy online is cheaper..only RM25.90 (last until 26th May)!!! Then, I also bought one Nursing Top…discount RM10 from actual price….

Right after my check up we headed for lunch and then later went to KLCC to buy some baby stuff at KLCC…Isetan was having SALE…so I bought a few important items n got discounts 20% – 60%…I think it was worth buying…:). Pastu, gi Mothercare…no sale…just bought 1 or 2 things there then we headed back home sbb dah penat kaw2….

Quote from www.babiesonline.com

“During pregnancy a woman experiences many aches and pains. During the first trimester she often has fatigue and nausea. There is normally also some cramping as the uterus starts to expand and grow. There is also the constant urge to go to the bathroom as the uterus puts extra pressure on the bladder that the bladder.

During the second trimester, most of the first trimester pregnancy symptoms go away, although a new one tends to pop up. It is generally referred to as round ligament pain. But what is round ligament pain exactly?

The round ligaments are the ligaments at the bottom of your belly, which are positioned under the uterus, and expand and grow to help support your uterus as it gets bigger. As these ligaments stretch some women find it painful and are concerned. Most doctors and midwives will reassure you that these pains are a normal part of pregnancy.

During the third trimester this pain can increase as your uterus grows even bigger and the ligaments have to stretch more to support the weight of the baby, amniotic fluid, placenta and extra blood that your body is carrying in your belly. If the pain becomes unbearable, ask your provider what pain medication is safe to take while pregnant.

Some women are concerned because they don’t have round ligament pain, or they don’t seem to suffer from it as much as other women. Not every woman will experience a large amount of pain. Generally, in a first pregnancy, the pain won’t start as early or be as severe as it is in a woman’s second, third and subsequent pregnancies. This is normal and to be expected.

After you deliver the baby, remember that your body has “memory” so after your pregnancy is over, and as your belly shrinks and your body returns to normal, these round ligaments will return to their former, pre-pregnancy shape and size. This shrinking may also cause some pain, but it shouldn’t be as severe as when the ligaments originally stretched to make room for your baby.”

 

Once I entered the room, the nurses looked at me sampai I sampai meja they all….siap gelak lagi tengok I jalan…, ‘Sarah, nape jln camtu??sakit ke?’…ye lah mane tak they all tanye…I jln terkedek2….slow plak tu…I sendiri nk ketawa bile rase jln cam tortoise….then I answered them back, ‘ Tulah, mmg jln camni since 4 months, akak semua x caya saya kate saya sakit kat bhgn kaki ni….(pastu gelak2)….’ then i weigh myself, already 63kg…almost 10 kg weight gain since 1st week pregnant….hopefully xlah sampai 22kg mcm 1st pregnancy dulu…:)

10.15am Dr Samy baru masuk, check punye check, Alhamdulillah Dr kate everything seems OK…but i seek advice nape I jln terkedek2…so Dr explained the reason y…Dr said that my 4 ligaments which are holding my uterus (rahim) is pulling out to help expand my uterus…yg membuatnye sakit ialah muscle yg pegang ligemen tu…sbb bile ligemen tertarik, muscle pun tension & tegang…tu yg buat kite jln terkedek2..hehehaha…

Ok lah x kisahlah jln terkedek2 ke ape…asalkan Mama n baby sihat, dah syukur & Alhamdulillah…

Btw, just to add in a little bit more on my changes during pregnancy….So far I have gained almost 3kg compared to before my pregnancy weight. I was 53kg when I was confirmed preggy and during my last gynae check up (about 4 weeks ago), I was 56kg….Next week is my next check up. Most probably my weight is expected to be 58-59kg….coz i think my tummy and other parts of my body has enlarge….hehe….got to go n buy new maternity lingerie….Chinese New Year Sale is still going on everywhere right?

I have been wanting to eat this waffle since a week ago..i think mengidam kot..hehe…nak yang with double ice-cream plak tu….I remembered during my uni life, I used to hang out with my close friends after 10pm (especially bila dapat MARA/JPA allowance at the end of the month..) at A&W PJ…it open 24Hrs!Our main intention is just to eat the waffle….I luv the waffle topped with Honey and ice-cream, but nowadays they only have strawberry topping and no more chocolate and honey..huhuhu…But it’s ok….at least the waffle is still available!!!

The last time I ate the waffle was at one of the outlets at Ampang, Spectrum Shopping Mall. But when i contacted the outlet, the manager’s says that their waffle machine is out of order…Nak pergi PJ jauh plak from Ampang, so I tried a few outlets yg dekat2 ngan Ampang..I found one!At Mid-Point Mall, Pandan Indah…Right after Maghrib, My hubby drove me and my son to Pandan Indah…Cari punye cari tapi tak jumpe…tot it was in front of Maxis Segar..but actually it was a little bit further than it…It was in a shopping mall yg ade Fajar Supermarket….Lastly, we found it and I enjoyed the waffle very2 much!!!!

Rizq and Myself (I’m still muching the waffle..hehe)

Actually the day I’m writing this post I’m already at home resting…..It all happened last Sunday, 18th Nov 2007…I wanted so much to eat Mee Goreng for lunch at Pelita Ampang Point. While waiting for the food to arrive I ordered 1 glass of Logan drink…I was quite suprised to see the Longan fruits quite yellowish…but i just kept quiet..malas nak cerewet…so I sipped the drink a few times tapi it was tasteless..tawar..mcm tak cukup air sirap gula…i complained to my hubby..he tasted it and agreed with me but said if i dont want to drink just drink his Teh O Ais Limau…

Suddenly I felt something is wrong with my body…I was very2 hungry…angin dlm perut mcm bertiup kencang jek…tolak atas tolak bawah…i started to sweat…eh?kenapa ni?All of a sudden I felt my body weak and I leaned my head on the table….my hands are hanging down..my hubby ape lagi..terkejutlah!!!Shian dia….Tapi sib baik there was this lady sitting behind us dtg kat meja I and help me while my hubby went to take the car….she asked me to sipped some sweet drink and help me to lay down on the restaurant chairs….soon my hubby arrived and they carried me into the car…I didnt have the chance to ask the lady her name but managed to thank her while my eyes are still closed….’Semoga Allah shj yg dapat membalas jasamu’…

I went back to my parents house, took a deep sleep and went back home at night…but the next day, I went to see my gynae and he requested me to be admitted as my sugar level was very low….and so I was admitted the next 1 hour…..TBC

Sorry for the long silence since my last post…I have not been feeling well for the past 3 weeks as I was adviced by my Gynae to stay at home to rest…rest..& rest. Alhamdulillah, I was confirmed 5 weeks pregnant during the 2nd week of Raya…Everything was OK until I experienced slight bleeding on my 6th week of pregnancy…I also experienced this during my first pregnancy and that’s why my normal panel clinic Dr quickly referred me to the specialist because of my previous history. So after seeing my Gynae, he suspected me as having Threatened Miscarriage and advised me to ‘Bed Rest’ until my condition is better.

So dah almost 3 weeks I stayed at home..so far so good…As of today I only had 1 hormone injection and currently on Hormone pills…mintak2 tak kena lagi injection tu…sakit!!!The hormone injection is oil base so sakit sket lah kat lower abdomen i…ade gaks effect kat lower part of the spine…mase tu susah sgt nak tido…so i took some Panadol pills to ease the pain…barulah bole tido….

Within the past 3 weeks adelah gaks I curi2 jln…gi Ampang Point, Akea, The Gardens…tapi terpaksa jln slow motion..mcm baru lepas operation jek..klakar sbb nk jln nye pasal…hehehe…tapi berdoa je selalu mintak2 takde ape2…alhamdulillah..ok…

Currently at 9 weeks, I’m starting to experience nausea all thru the day starting from 11am onwards…ni ngah tulis post ni pun I ngah loya…I think I cant be in front of the computer too long as it’s making me more nausea….

Lastly, I just want to inform all my friends and customers to wait for my latest collection at Tudung-Bawal.com. Insya-Allah, I will update all of you once I have updated my online shopping website..Tunnggguu yeee!!!

Thanks…
