And finally, she is born. 40 weeks and 3 days — just before the doc was about to induce me! 2 days prior to labour, contractions started and I’ve had sleepless nights since then. I thought I was breathing the pain away really well and felt that it might just be possible that I could have a […]
After prepping for hypno-birthing and natural delivery, we found out from our doctor that we were zero centimetre dilated last Saturday, despite all the Braxton-Hicks or false contractions I’ve been feeling. And then our doctor is suggesting unnatural induction to force her out, when she is perfectly healthy. He mentioned that we can only wait […]
How am I feeling? Big. And nervous. The uncertainty of what to expect intrigues me. At least, that’s what I’m trying to tell myself. I have done quite a bit of research on birthing and there are a few things I wish I had done earlier. Sign up for the hypno-birthing class with Four Trimesters […]
Oh, how the pelvis is hurting once more! Doctor said that it’s only gonna get worse and that I stay home, so I am officially on hospitalization leave! Got a cheap exercise ball from Qoo10 at $10, only to let joker Daddy Choo place Super Scared Ziggy on it and he punctured a hole in […]
After two weeks of attempting to spin the baby as well as constantly talking to our little moon to ask her to move head down, she finally did!! Initially, our doctor was feeling my tummy and said he felt her head, just like us but realised it was her butt during the scan. That’s our […]
Last weekend, I had the strongest nesting instinct ever. I started to pack the baby room, hospital bag, washed and sterilized the bottles and pump parts. And then I listed the stuff I didn’t want in the house on social groups to give away. I even reformatted my old iMac to stream baby channels and music […]
We were quite pumped for today’s gynae visit but was unable to see her face as she was faced inwards. And we found out that she’s breeched, meaning sitting upright! :((( If she doesn’t turn downwards by week 35, I will need a c-section. Please turn, my little one. Don’t let mummy go through long-ass […]
Even before our little one is born, she has already received so much love from us as well as her relatives! She is truly blessed and I hope she learns to appreciate the love and not become a spoilt brat. Here are some shots of our home with the new wooden floor instead of the […]
Our little stardust is really starting to look like us! I see a combination of Juvie and I in this latest scan pic. Had the growth check and gestational diabetes test today. Felt like a warrior when I downed the entire bottle of disgusting orange tasting drink down in a minute when the mummy sitting […]
Finally managed to catch the kicks on video! She loves playing hide and seek with us, especially with Juvie. He would put his hand on my tummy when she was really active and she would stop moving. And after he removes his hand, she kicks again. LOL! Talk about having an attitude! Here’s one where […]
I gained a hell lot of weight, plus I’m not a fan of taking photos of myself, thus the lack of images with my face in it. But here are some to commemorate this blessed pregnancy. Well, just two.
Great news! The septum has miraculously disappeared at the past 2 scans! Doctor suspects that our little kiddo probably kicked it away. She’s such a fighter, having to fight off from hydrosalpinx and the other obstacles in this pregnancy. We’re so proud of her! <3 Also, the placenta has slowly moved up as well! The only […]
So everything was great until Week 20. I sat cross legged on the floor at an amazing and fruitful lactation workshop held by Mumsfairy and things spiraled down after and I’ve seen the Gynae at least 3 times this month. But on a more positive note, I get to see my little one 3 times […]
The wait to see our baby on the ultrasound every month has been torturous and the last scan was not successful because the little one was asleep, and I was super saddened by it. But it’s all worthwhile eventually, because… IT’S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so happy!! Juvie isn’t that excited about the amount of money […]
Baby is asleep. Nothing to see here. :\
Our little one looks uncannily like me, don’t you think? For the most of you who have not seen me, I have a protruding upper jaw that causes an underbite. I’ve always hated that, and I see it in the little one. I’m kinda sad but the scan still was a joy to us! I […]
Hardcore long photologue. Being a preggos, I fall asleep easily and am too lazy to retouch any images. So please do pardon me. Dotonbori Den Den Town Geek paradiseeeeee!! Food! Glorious food!
Hardcore long photologue. Being a preggos, I fall asleep easily and am too lazy to retouch any images. So please do pardon me. Glorious food of Kyoto Our first meal upon reaching Kyoto – Super yummy unagi don, tempura and soba!
We have passed the danger zone!!! /insert stadium cheers and champagne popping sounds Technically, we should wait till week 12 is over before we announce it, but fuck it. I have faith in our little warrior. It has conquered the toxic hydrosalpinx liquid and OHSS liquid. A couple more days will be cake for it. We took a […]
During our TTC journey, we have tried many things just for a chance to have a baby, and one of it is religion. We have gone to several temples to give offerings, partook in the fertility rituals, spent a fortune on Feng Shui and even Europe to pray at many cathedrals. I was also on the way to […]
