Little Prince

Went for early and first appointment with the new Gynae at Thomson Medical Centre. Met our Gynae, Dr Eunice Chua. She was being recommended by my GP, and she is so friendly and nice. She also gave us alot of information and she is so professional. I am glad that we have gone to her. She checked about my history and how long i am pregnant now. So after that, she said: " Let's see we can see the baby gender today, should be able to see now." I was so happy and then as i looked at the screen. Oh my god! The baby have grown so well and big. I felt abit excited and at the same time with goosebumps. He is facing down like a shrimp curl down, then Dr Chua tried to measure the baby head dimension and length. She said baby length is the right size for 17 weeks. And then she said: "Baby seems to be sleeping and lazy, maybe you should try to cough abit and see whether the baby will move." Then i did two coughs, then we saw baby feet starts to wriggle, then moved and bounced with two hands showing thumbs up. LOL. So cute and funny! Then she caught a glimpse of something and said: "Looked, is a boy, yes confirmed is a boy, no cover up." LOL. We are so excited and felt that baby's so cooperative and let us see that he is a boy!

My husband is extremely happy, because he can get Man United soccer jersey for his boy, and he has a companion to watch soccer with. I am happy too. To me, boy or girl, i am both also happy.

This morning, he gave me a big rumble and i can feel it. It is so obvious and till now, he couldn't stop moving inside. LOL. I am happy that he moved, i rather he move everyday and anytime. So now, we shall start buying baby's stuffs bit by bit. Hee..

Cheers!

Urinary Tract Infection

This is the most irritating and painful infection of all. The down there would be like being poked by needle and it makes me feeling very lethargic. Then i will have to go to the toliet every 5 minutes. Then now i think i have a pimple like sore near there, and it is freaking uncomfortable. So i didn't see my Gynae, as she should be out of town now.

So i took my "Nutrilite" supplements with lots and lots of water, to flush and replenish the minerals i have lost. Within one day, the pain had subsided. Thank god! But the sore is still there. Initially i thought because i accidentally had cut there during washing. But i felt one pimple-like sore, So i guess that causes the infection. I went to bought the Drapolene cream, this is used for baby nappy rash, but because i cannot anyhow try other creams, and i have been using this even before my pregnancy. So this cream is really useful for baby and even adults. I just applied this morning and the pain had subsided. So i will be continue to use it until the sore subsides.

Okay. Now is the remedy from the "Nutrilite" supplements. These supplements i have been taking for 3 years. So it has been a good buddy to me now. So if you are trying the supplements from Nutrilite, please do not mix with other brands, as results may not be the same.

So below remedies are:

3tabs,3x/day of Vitamin C plus Bioflavonoids - Produces antibacterial effect through acidification of urine.

Important in immunity function.

2 tabs,3x/day of Calcium Magnesium - Reduces bladder irritability. Aids in the stress response and works

best when balanced with calcium.

2 tabs,2x/day of Vitamin E with Lecithin - Combats infecting bacteria.

With the above remedies, you need to drink plenty of water to flush out the bacteria. So hopefully i can get better asap. :)

Cheeky Baby

These days after i felt my first baby movement, i somehow felt that my baby has connected to me quite fast. Whenever i tried to speak to my bump, it seems to understand what i meant. I know it sounds abit weird and hilarious. Remember when i said i was in such a pain with the migraine, after i cried, i felt movement? Think that's the first connection. Then these days whenever i tried to talk to my tummy, within a few minutes. My baby will respond to me.

This morning, i have difficulty in passing motion. So i thought i finally get to go to the toliet. Then within few minutes, i came out. False alarm. So i was quite irritated. Because i wouldn't want to be constipated, as i afraid that too much toxic inside not good for baby. So i touch and caress my bump and told my baby. "Baby, you have to be obedient okay, please let mummy poop today, so that you will be healthy." After i came out. Within 10 minutes, i went to the toliet and relieved. HAHA. Okay, i know it sounds abit off. But once you pregnant, constipation is your very good friend. I was so happy after that. And i am glad that baby heard me. HAHA. Now i am waiting to do more experiments to connect to my baby. While i am typing this, my baby just moved. Hehehe.

First Migraine after 6 Months

After so many months of freedom from migraine, it finally strike back to me yesterday afternoon. Whenever there is heavy downpour with lightning and thunder, my head will start to have this sharp pain. Yesterday was terribly pain. I get irritated easily and my ears also pain. Then after dinner, i began to feel nausea. I went to vomit out, and immediately the pain from my ear subsides. However my head was still pain. I can't take painkillers, even if i went to see the GP, they can't prescribe me any painkillers, as i have so many allergies to painkillers.

So i drank alot of water, and take my Nutrilite brands supplements, B complex and Calcium Magnesium. It helps to sooth my nerves and calm myself down, so that i can sleep. At around 3.45am, i was awoken by my husband's snore. How irritating. Then my head hurts still, so i woke up and take one more tablet of B complex and wait for a while and my tears beginning to flow. It was so pain, i couldn't endure it. But i still hold on to it. And after i finished crying, i began to feel tired and eventually i fall sleep at around 4plus. Then when i woke up at around 10am. I felt much better now. But i still am having my Morning Sickness. After my brunch, i vomit again. And now i felt even much better.

Maybe i have passed out all my heatiness and there's no more stress in my head. I just hope the migraine don't come back again please....

Baby First Movement

I suddenly felt my baby movement the first time of my life yesterday night. When my husband trying to use my belly button as a microphone to speak to baby. He just said, "Hello, i am daddy." Then he kept tickling me and i felt so ticklish and laugh out loud. Then suddenly i felt movement, and i just gave him a very surprised look. HAHA.

This is call quickening. Most probably we have disturbed baby's sleep, and the baby wants us to keep quiet. HAHA! I can't wait to feel more movements from the baby. Hee..

Pre-natal Courses and Confinement Lady

Yesterday, i was thinking the whole day on whether to get a confinement lady to look after me and baby after i give birth. Now i have decided to just take up the confinement catering and give my mother a chance to look after my baby and me.

Now she is going back to Thailand. So i guess these periods at least i can rest my head. Hope she would be happy there.

Now i am trying to look for places which provides pre-natal courses, preferably not so expensive. I would have to start 6 weeks later which i would be about 20 weeks pregnant. Now i have been googling the website. But my hospital doesn't conduct any courses. Only other hospital does. Wondering they would be okay, if i can take up? :P Guess i have to go and find out. hehehehe..

Baby First Hiccups

Went for checkup on Tuesday. As per usual, went to pee on a stick, take my blood pressure and weight. OMG. I have lost 0.9KG from all the vomiting and the not so good appetite.

The gynae told me that i have protein in my urine and asked me whether i have any special discharge. I told her yellow discharge, she asked is it very often. I told her no, is on and off. Then we proceed to do the ultrasound scan. At first, she wants to try whether can hear the heartbeat, but nothing. Then she proceed to the scan instead. There we see our baby and the baby is bouncing up and down. She said: " Look, the baby is moving and the baby is having hiccups, baby is doing the hiccups dance." My husband and i laughed and was amazed. We saw the round round head, the little hands and legs. And the baby bounced real high up and down. So cute!

Then the gynae says point to the screen and said this is my placenta and that is the cause of the discharge. Then after the scan, i told her that i can't take milk products and that will make me vomit the whole day. So she gave me calcium tablets and set our next appointments 6 weeks later. She said by then, it would be 20 weeks and you will be able to see the baby gender.

I am so excited and couldn't stop smiling and looked at my husband. We are so thrilled and then he can't stop touching my belly and smile. He looked at my belly and rubbed and said to my belly: "Must be obedient okay? Cannot bully mummy okay?" So sweet. Hee.

Now i have to be extremely careful and must make sure to take everything in moderation. I just hope that baby would be healthy and i am healthy as well. :)
