A shock!!

08/05/08 - A Shock!! (37wks)
Went to visit Dr Khi as my bi-weekly checkup.When Dr Khi placed the ultrascan on my tummy, both of us were shocked to see bb in breech position. 2 weeks ago, her head was facing downwards and i did not feel her turning up for the past 2 weeks. Was advised by gynae that if bb is still in breech position in my 38wks, most likely have to opt for c-sect. I was shocked to hear that. So during that weekend, hubby and I quickly set up the bb cot, playpen, wash curtains etc.. Lucky my mum has helped me to wash all the bb clothings, towels etc.

We also went Taka to buy the Toyomi Electric Airpot with our Taka Vouchers..

13/05/08 - This is the day to see if bb has turn her head down or to go ahead with csect on my 38th week which is on 15th...We were somehow prepared that her head is still up. But who knows, bb turns down to our surprise!! Her weight remain the same as afew days ago, 3.3kg. Gynae gave us 2 options, to induce or wait. Hb and I decided to wait as bb has not engaged yet...(baby,please stay head down and get engaged soon! Please give mummy some labour signs when you are ready ya)

3rd Trimster

06/03/08- Start of 3rd Trimster
Starting to feel the heavyness of my tummy and my girl. Its so amazing that a little life is growing inside me now..Been taking bird nest faithfully every week. Hope BB Charlotte will have nice and good complexion when she is out. Can feel my little ger's movements more actively now...really hope to see her soon.

Went Ikea to buy 2 chest of drawers to put her things, hope it is enough..The blue bag is my hospital bag, looks bulky hor. Everything has been packed inside, only left my hp charger and camera. Hope I did not miss out anything.

Of cos the drawers and the lamp were not spare of hello kitty..

We used the pink room for Charlotte's nursery room. Didn't really furnish with alot of things, just the drawers, passed down bb cot, playpen, fan, bathtub etc. Loved this pair of hello kitty babies which I bought purposely for her...

BB cot with musical mobile ...



Also bought these toys for her to play..

2nd Trimster

15/11/07 - Start of 2nd Trimster

Finally passed the most important and crucial first trimster..Now looking forward to knowing my bb's gender. Started buying some BB Rompers, Bibs etc cos it was all so cute and sweet. 2nd Trimster was supposed to be "honeymoon stage". So far, so good, except I feel my backside, tailbone area will be pain and abit "suan" whenever I sit down. Gynae told me it could be bb pressing on my nerves..naughty bb hor..Started taking fish oil, multi-vits and calcium pills which was supposed to be good for bb..Constipation got worst here, piles start to come out *ouch*. Was given cream to apply..At times, couldn't even sit down..

Bb at 12wks...

As time goes by,the shape of bb is becoming more obvious. Can see she is sucking her thumb also...Can feel her kicks and movements, so shen qi wor..

By the 20th week, I went for my Detailed Scan. This is a test to find out the gender of bb, and all other details. Its a girl!!

Here starts our bb items shopping...Bought plenty of pinky items like rompers, clothings, socks, hats etc.... Started buying Avent milk bottles, teats, Avent Steriliser, Pigeon Cleanser,Kodomo Liquid Detergent etc during the Taka and Robinson Member's sales =D...Here are our purchases..

Bot this Hk Bumper Mat so that my darling Charlotte can play, sleep and learn to flip on it..Hopes she will like Hello Kitty as much as I do..hee

1st visit to Gynae

01/10/07 - This is my first time visiting a gynae. Was told if I go see the gynae too early, won't be able to see anything via the ultrascan. So when I went in, Dr Khi uses a probe to scan for the sac..Scanned for awhile and there it is, so small and fragile at the center. Gynae says the sac is in good condition and place. Was given folic acid to take.

My sac is 6wks old...

So for the 1st trimster, appetite wasn't very good. Scared of the smell and taste of fish. Tummy feeling super bloated and also got "evening sickness" though its more common to have morning sickness...Craved for ice lemon tea and potatos all the time, *slurps*. By the end of the 12 week, it was the end of the 1st trimster.

Was asked to go for the Oscar Test to test for down sydrome of bb at 12weeks. Lucky everything was ok with bb.

A shock but happiness to all...

26/09/07 - Was hesistating whether to test with the pregnancy kit anot as I felt abit of crampy feeling on the day my AF is supposed to report..Finally took out 1 kit and tested...and who knows, it turns out to be "Pregnant".

Both hubby and I were happy and abit can't believe it. Can you imagine, I tested 4 days consecutive with Clearblue kit to make sure the kits were all working...hee.

Next step was to find a suitable gynae. Started smsing my forum friends who had given birth, asked them for gynae's contact no. Finally decided on a female gynae which Ting is seeing, Dr Caroline Khi from TMC.
