3rd gyne visit

It was exciting. I thought I will be 9 weeks or 10 weeks pregnant only. The doctor scanned and I saw the features of the baby. The doctor told me that I am 11weeks & 2 days pregnant. I was shocked! Wahhh so fast! Happy but scary. I will deliver during the first few days of September. And I felt better. I don't feel giddy, I did not vomit that much and I feel ok when I travel by cab. After I left the gyne, I kept on thinking about my baby. It was so cute. I can't believe it that I have another human in my body. It is a nice feeling.

I admit that since I'm pregnant I am more careful about my health. I freak out if my glucose level increase but I don't know why I just can't stop eating for the past few days. My appetite is even better before I am pregnant. I tried not to eat but I will get hungry again. To me I am taking care of my baby not myself. Since my pregnancy I noticed that I like to eat whatever my hubby likes to eat. It really irritates me. For example since young I hate horlicks but now I can drink horlicks everyday. I don't really fancy chocolate and hates vanilla. I prefer strawberry. But nowadays I kept on wanting chocolate cake and keep on looking for vanilla shakes. Till now I did not get to drink one :( It is always sold out when I want to order at cafes. My hubby's favourite is vanilla and next is chocolate! erghhhh... what is happening to me.

I guess that's it for now.. time for me to laze around...

2nd gyne visit

Both of us were excited to look at our baby's progress. My hubby always insist he follow to every visit to the gyne. He loves his baby very much. Sometimes I cannot count how many times he kissed my tummy in a day. During the visit the doctor scan my tummy again and he said the baby is still 6 weeks. I was puzzled. Last week he said the baby was 6 weeks and now still 6 weeks?! So my hormone doctor explained that my period is irregular and due to that it was difficult to determine how long I've been pregnant.

The first trimester was not too bad actually. My sensitive nose became super sensitive, anything smelly can make me vomit. I have lost my appetite. Sometimes I get dizzy. Every time I take a cab I will vomit. Besides that everything was fine.

I still remembered when I broke the news to my close friends that I am pregnant, they told me not to be too happy because anything can happen during pregnancy - miscarriage etc. I know they are overly concern about me and don't want me to be hurt if anything happen to my baby. I have been thinking the baby is not mine fully. Almighty God give me the responsibility to do my best to bring the baby up. Everything in this world is not ours. It is only temporary. People and anything dies anytime. We only have the joy to love and given the opportunity to make the best out of everything we have in this world while we still have it. We are only measured on what we have achieved in this world and after world we are measured by our faith and doings. It is hard to express or explain this stuff but it keeps me going for not taking anything for granted.

My first gyne visit

At last I can rest at home. I have no class today. Yesterday's class was okay but as usual my feet swells after long hours of standing & walking. I can still remember my first visit to my gyne after being pregnant. I was nervous. I was hoping it will be a good news but also afraid that I will be disappointed especially my hubby.

The doctor asked me what did my GP said. I told him the GP said that he did some hormone test and I am pregnant. My gyne said hormone test & pregnancy test is different. I said ok but the GP used the word hormone test on me. The GP said that my hormone is positive that I am pregnant. The gyne still not satisfied and he did a scan on me. Yup.. he saw the baby. He said I am about 6 to 7 weeks pregnant.

We were happy. After that I got to meet my diabeties doctor to change my medication. He was shocked and very happy for me. Since then my hubby has been very nicee to me. He is so excited to have his junior.

So Sweet..

So sweet of my hubby to go all the way to Siglap area just to buy for me a cake. A few weeks ago my friends and I went to cheesecake cafe on a Sunday but it was closed. So sweet of my hubby to remember the location of the cheesecake cafe & to remember I really wanted to eat a cake from that shop. Hmmmmm I love him so much.

I still remembered clearly how I found out that I am pregnant. It was a Saturday morning on 14th January 2006. I went to a clinic to find out what was wrong with me. I felt so tired, nausea and lost my appetite. The doctor said that I may be pregnant and wants to check my urine. I told him I can't be pregnant because I missed my period for about 3 months. True enough ... I am positive. I am pregnant. I was shocked. I kept quiet. I did not show any expression of happiness. There was no expression from my face. I was confused. Of course I want to have a baby but how can I be pregnant when I missed my period. I was having mix feelings. Thinking how can it be possible, how shall I break the happy news to my hubby and what if the doctor was wrong. The doctor was worried with my reaction that he kept on consolling me even when I am waiting for my medication.

I decided to tell my hubby after he's back from work. I want him to come along with me to see the gyne on 17th January 2006. He called me a few times while he was working. I told him that I have a surprise for him when he's at home. I thought he would be at home by 4pm but he got to work overtime till 7.30pm. When I told him I have a surprise for him, he kept on guessing that I went shopping. It was difficult for me to control my mouth. I don't want to blurt out.

While waiting for him to come back, I typed a note saying that "We are having a virgo baby". I put a chair beside the main door and I placed my huge Moshi Maro and the note slot into it's heart shapped pillow. I cannot stop imagining how will his reaction be.

The doorbell rang. He was at the door looking very tired. He looks as if he had a bad day. Usually I will leave him alone & be out of his sight when he is in that kind of mood. I will let him have a piece of mind. But on this day it was different. I welcome him home and when he saw the note he asked what's this. He read and asked is this true. I immediately hugged him and tears of joy rolling on my cheeks. I whispered "Are you happy?" He said yes and he looked into my eyes. We hugged for awhile infront of the main door and later I told him I've arranged appointment with the gyne.

We were so happy. We've been waiting for the good news for 2.5 years. And the day finally came. During the 2nd year of marriage, I thought I can never be pregnant. I was planning to adopt a baby when I'm 35. I almost give up or maybe I have given up. During those years I really follow doctors advice - to relax & not to be stressed out, take care of my diabeties and have sex more often. Another reason why I was pessimistic was because the gyne suspect that I am a polycystic ovarian. In the past, it was difficult for women like to be pregnant. But with latest research the doctors found out that there is a drug which can help women like me. Women out there who are in the same situation as mine. Do not give up. Go to a few hormone doctors for opinion and choose a gyne you trust. It was not easy mentally but it was worth trying. Everything is destined, we just have to keep on trying.
