26 Weeks and Appointment with my Gynae

Had my appointment with my gynae yesterday. To my surprised, i have gained from 63.5KG to 66.2KG within a month! OMG! My baby gained from 438grams to 878grams within a month too. LOL. So my gynae said, all the weight remaining have gone to mummy. HAHAHA! Sob Sob! How to lose weight like that after birth??? LOL

Then we did the ultrasound scan and found that baby's head is on my left tummy and his arm is on his head. How cute is that? So now i know that he has been always elbowing me instead of kicking me. HAHAHA. But i still love him.

Okay, now is about the Streptococcus B, because of the skin centre, i have to delay my treatment. But gynae said, if i were to really allergic to Penicillin. There is another way to treat. Meaning, if i chose Natural birth and i won't be given any anti-biotics, but when baby is out, she will immediately give baby penicillin, as she said baby won't be allergic to penicillin. But what my concerns now is, whether my labor time would be short and sweet? Will i be able to push the baby out like within 15 minutes or as fast as possible? As i really do not want to put my baby in risks.

Then another method would be caesarean, lesser risks for baby. But troublesome for me. As my wounds healing, usually not that fast. But baby infection rate would be reduced even more than natural birth. So i am now thinking it over very clearly, whether natural birth or caesarean. Sighh... Headache man. Although this bacteria is common and 10% of pregnant mothers will have it. I also felt very sad by the case whereby baby will be in risks of infected the bacteria. Of course i will stay positive and be strong, and always hope that my baby will be strong and healthy. So being cheerful also play a part to make myself happy and always think positively.

Okay. I still have 14 weeks to think about it. Wish me luck!

Now baby is 26 weeks, he should be able to open his eyes and see the light from my tummy. Although not for long, as his sights are not fully develop. All i know is that his sense of hearing is quite good. When i played twinkle twinkle little star, he will respond with rumbling and kick. :) And his kick is getting stronger and stronger. hehhee.. My strong little boy! So now just hope that he will grow very well and i can't wait to see him man. Really want to hold him in my arms and shower him with lots of love!

Diarrhea at 25 weeks

Sigh.. I have been having soft stools since Wednesday and started diarrhea since Saturday. At first i thought what happened, thought it would be the sign of gastric. Then Monday after my appointment with my gynae, she prescribed me Charcoal tablets and said if the diarrhea persists, just drink more water and let it clear by itself. I took two tablets of Charcoal twice and looks like it doesn't help. But it seems to harden my stools abit, although is no more watery.

This morning, i had two pieces of white bread and in no time, i went to toliet again. Then realised i have passed out the charcoal tablets, as my stools are black in colour. What does this shows man. A sign of indigestion?

So now i think whatever i ate, i will pass out. So i can only have light meals at the moment until i am fully recover. But after i drank the Repalyte to replenish my fluids, i felt much better actually, and i not sure why.

Just hope that i will recover fast and won't affect my baby's growth.

25 Weeks with Braxton Hicks Contractions

Hello all, time really flies.. Now my boy is 25 weeks big inside my tummy. So should be weighing around 660grams (Average weight) now.

He should be able to open his eyes abit and his sense of touch have been developed. hehe.. i can now tickle my tummy and see him rumble inside me. :p

As usual, he responded more to his daddy than his mummy. Hahaha. When his daddy start to call him, he will response with a kick. Then when i call him, he will stay still. -_-~

This morning, i didn't know i had Braxton Hicks Contractions until i google about it. As i was tidying up things from this trolley of stuffs. Not sure is it i moved too much or what. I felt my tummy so tightening and the baby is like scratching me from inside. Is not very painful, is just uncomfortably needle pricking. LOL. And he continued quite sometime. Few weeks back i have encountered these tightening before, but is not so long like today. HAHA. So i went to read the article, it says this contractions is to prepare us, mothers for the real pain during labor. So in a way, we will be much stronger and we will know when is the real deal coming when it is time for real labor. But it is also a sign of dehydration, so have to drink as much water as possible and have a good rest.

So at least these experiences are explainable and common. hehe.. Something new to me now. I just can't wait man. Next week would be 26 weeks. Oh man.. That is really fast! LOL. And then 3 more weeks, i would be in my third Trimester and will start to count down from there. Hehehe..

Can't Wait!!!

Hate to wait so long at National Skin Centre

Yesterday, i had an appointment to do the patch test at the Skin Centre. My appointment time is 10.30am. Guess what, we reached at about 10.45am, registered and seat at one place to wait for my turn.

We waited until 11.30am, there is still no signs of my turn and everyone came behind me had gone for their tests, i think is some blood test or what. But cannot be right? No one came up to me and tell me what to do. Then at about 11.45am, i told my husband we should go ask. Then we heard from one nurse shouted: "Ok lah! Let them in lah!" She sounded so unwillingly and is like a terrible procedure to do a patch test and others would be easier than mine.

Then waited for another five minutes, a nurse came to me that there are three painkillers they don't have, but they have 15 series of other medicines that can be tested. So i thought they are painkillers as well, so i agreed. My husband then looked at me and said, "Since they don't have the three painkillers, why do you still want to test? You have to find the objectives right?" Then i was like, okay, then you help me ask lo.

Then he asked me to check with my gynae, if these three painkillers don't have, should we continue to test. Then few minutes later, the gynae assistant called and said no need to do the test if they don't have the painkillers that we require to test. So we rejected the test.

But the nurse seems to be quite persistent and wants us to try others, and they are mostly antibiotics and there is only one painkiller which i have not taken before. She said can try, but not sure is it suitable for pregnant woman. I was like taken aback and said, "No need la, i never take this medicine before, plus my gynae only wants me to test for the three painkillers which you claimed don't have, so i rather not try." I have already took the blood test for the four main Antibiotics, so i guess is enough. And it costs $140 just for the blood test. It was so expensive. I rather not try the 15 series and later part cost more than that. And that was about 12.30pm when we left the clinic.

So we have to wait for the blood test results and to my amazed. We have to wait for about three weeks, because i did the test on a Friday. So i have to call and see whether the results are here, then fix an appointment to see the consultant. I think my husband is going to give the consultant some hell of scoldings man. For making us go one big round. I mean how can a doctor doesn't know whether the skin centre doesn't have the three painkillers that i am required to be tested. It seems like there are no specific and good coordination and communications between the doctor and nurse.

Now i have to delay my treatment for the Streptococcus B. I just hope nothing serious and i have been drinking alot of water and drink Cranberry juice to prevent UTI. Not sure by my next appointment with my gynae, i can get the test results or not. :( As the Gynae doesn't allow me to change my appointment to a later date. She feared of the bacteria level may increase.

Hope God can bless me and my child with good health.

My Active Baby

My boy have been so active, even in the middle of the night, he will just kick me and wake me up. But now he seems to have fully developed his hearing and senses of touch. Whenever my husband or my sister tries to touch and listen to my tummy. He will give them a kick. It really makes them happy.

Recently, my boy loves to stretch, and it can cause me pain a few times. Because as he stretch, he loves to stay put for quite sometime until i felt my tummy is like being punch and then when i start to rub my tummy, he will then release his fist. Sweat man. He just loves to play with his mummy.

There's one night, as usual whenever i am about to sleep, i will rub my tummy and tell my baby that we should sleep now. Then after a few minutes, he will starts to explore his mummy's tummy and start to poke me from the right tummy to my left tummy. OMG. Such a cheeky boy i have. HAHA.

Then my husband and my sister will start their cheeky on me too. Whenever i joke to them, they will just ask my baby to kick me. Such a father and aunt my baby has. LOL. Wait till they feel his formidable kick when he is out. HAHA!

Now is six months and two days. OMG. Time is ticking. My friend told me, now he let me have some preparations from his kick. When i reach my third trimester, he will sure give a hard kick and the pain is so excruciating that baby will literally kick the ribcage and the lungs. OMG! I am going to experience these soon. But at least he will kick, i am game for it. Will have to endure!

Baby Learning Martial Arts in my Tummy

Previous night, when i slept on my right, suddenly i felt three punches on my left tummy. OMG! I was surprised by the punch and woke up in amazed. What amazed me was that, the punches are very fast and this is the first time i felt the quick and fast punches. Somehow it reminds me that baby is trying to do the IP Man Yong Chun Fist. HAHA.

Last night, i dreamt alot of things, first i have to rescue someone, and a cat helped me. Suddenly i saw my mother in my dreams, den suddenly i was woke up by a loud bang noise and saw my husband kicked the wall and the sound is like when you had a fall and your head hit on the floor that kind of sound. I saw him rubbing his toe and i asked him, you dreamt that you playing soccer isit? That was about 4am. He seems to be in sleeping mode and laugh and then rubbed his toe and fall back asleep. How funny.

Then i continue my sleep as well. As usual i woke up and went to the toliet very often. Then at this moment, i dreamt that i was at my old house, then came a tall young man and an auntie whose carrying a cat. Then i don't know them, so i didn't open the door and went back to sleep. Then suddenly my parents opened the door and let them in and the cat immediately jump on me and trying to cuddle with me. OMG. Not sure what's with the cat thingy.

Then suddenly i was at a plane at the next moment, then everything was like in chaos, then everyone was very busy and i suddenly felt my right tummy pain. And the kick was so quick and fast, i thought i was in labor (in my dreams), then i woke up and the kick was real. My boy kicked me just like the Master Wong Fei Hong, the Shadow kick and the kick lasted about 1-2 minutes. And the kick was non stop and i felt abit pain too. So i rubbed my tummy awhile and the kick slows down and eventually quietened down. I was wondering isit my boy having the dreams as well? LOL. That's what i read, baby can have dreams in their mother's tummy. But it was so funny, i took a look at the clock and is around 6am. OMG. Then i take a peek at my husband and shake my head. As i am thinking, like father like son. Both dreamt of kicking. LOL.

Not sure what's next. Both of them are so connected. Hahaha. It's a good thing afterall. :)

What my boy loves...

He loves C.S.I Miami, especially when the main character Horatio is out, he will definitely kick me.

He loves apple, each time i had one bite, he will starts to rumble inside me and kick me in awhile.

He loves Semi-sweet chocolate, i tried to ask him whether mummy should eat chocolate, he kicked me in very fast response. LOL

He loves Fillet O Fish burger, because of the tartar sauce, it really make him kick me with every bite.

He loves soccer, for the first time i watch Mexico vs South Africa, he kicked me when i shouted goal. And he knows how to pick the right timing for me to wake up to watch Spain vs Holland, and spain won. HAHA

He loves listening to me sing Twinkle, Twinkle to him, because he will not make any movement, and after i finish, he will start to rumble.

He loves his daddy voice, he will start to kick very hard whenever his daddy call him, talk to him and even read to him.

He loves to kick mummy tummy, because mummy loves his kicking, rumbling and his hiccups! And he can kick me the whole day. :)

Still trying to find out what food, things and tv show that will make him react. :)

Drug Allergy Test Appointment fixed

Okay. Called this morning around 9am to enquire how to go about fixing an appointment to do the Drug allergy test. They usually can take in privately, meaning, no need to get referral letter also can fix appointment. I asked them what about referral letter from Polyclinic? They said usually the appointment time and procedure would be longer than private. So i chose to pay private rate, cannot wait any longer. Just hope the bacteria won't spread.

So i must see a consultant first, then determine on the test. So Consultation fees itself is already $71 and exclude all medicines and tests. So estimate would costs up to $200+ i guess. Well, i need to test the whole family of Antibiotics and Painkillers. So cannot imagine how many patches they going to patch one me. haha. Just see how it goes on this Friday evening.

Yesterday, our boy seems to be very active. He kicked me the whole day and night since morning! HAHA! I am very happy that he kicked me. It is just so amazing to see and feel him kick. I have been observing my tummy. It is so wonderful, you can see his movement from my left tummy to my right tummy, and then his great kick. Hee. Then sometimes, can feel his hiccups every few seconds. LOL. My husband also observe my tummy together with me, then when he saw baby kick my tummy, he's so amazed and couldn't cover his happy smiles. Then he will talk to my tummy everyday without fail. So i am happy that he is happy and get himself involved to bond with me and baby too. :)

Today is 2nd August 2010. So technically i left 3 months or less to countdown to see my baby! Woohoo! I just can't wait to feed him, bathe him and clean his poop!!!! LOL. 120 days more! OMG!

Hee.. My boy just kick me when i call him. :)
