Week 23 Day 3

We went to the detailed scan last Thursday.

Doctor: Hmm...abdominal a little thick.
Me: Huh? What do you mean? Is my baby too fat? Why ar? (Was told that his abdomen is small the previous visit okay?)
Husband: Yours, not the baby's.
Me: Oh...that one I know why.

So because of my fats, my scan wasn't clear. Took us 3 hours to see whatever the doctor needs to see. Paid RM420 for it and felt that the cost was not justified. For baby number 2, I'm considering doing it elsewhere. This one did not give me 4 photos printed on half an A4 page. -.- Of course the doctor was able to see all the important parts and everything was OK but would love more photos. Clearer photos perhaps.

But then again the doctor said cause I'm fat, so the scans are not clear. -.-
We confirmed baby's gender and everything is growing well. Yay! Meeting KK doctor tomorrow and our gynae again next Saturday.

So far I can still fit into my old clothes and most of my colleagues (not from my department) are not aware that I'm preggy yet. So, guess being fat has its perks. Time to go and feed my baby (in my tummy).

Till next time,

Mummy Chong

Week 21 Day 5

I usually post on day 5 cause it's Friday. Everyone is out now for lunch while I've done eating my lunch. Now just onlining and chilling. I have a feeling I'll feel hungry again at about 3pm so I'll go and get a toast then.

My self-monitoring blood sugar result was okay so I did not have to do much changes to my food intake except for being more careful with the choice of food. Met the nutritionist and she said I just need to maintain regular small meals which I'm trying my best to follow.

I can feel baby moving inside of me already. It first feels like something ticklish. Then it feels like flutters and small waves. I still feel it once in a while but not all the time. I'm a very ticklish person in nature so sometimes I ended up laughing. I know right? This mummy so weird. Papa can feel it too so papa has been asking him to move, -.- when I'm about to sleep. This papa want to kena whack I think.

Overall, 2nd trimester is soooo muchhhhh better. I still have my heartburn daily but I can stay up later. Sleep is still rubbish but occasionally I get a full night rest. There will be more changes this year (not just to me but to our family) but we will surrender all to God and let Him lead the way.

We will be doing the detailed scan next week so see you next week baby.

Love,
Mummy

Week 19 day 5

Just an update to remind me of this day.

Hormone

My hormone is in a wreck. I’ve cried twice in the span of few weeks. First cause the KK doctor was so mean to me. She asked me what I was doing at gov clinic when I’m going the private route. I told her I was advised to go for both. And she said somethinng along the line that I am gonna be a mum soon and still couldn’t make decision for myself, just rely on advise. But hello, many mums out there also went to both cause we can get free vaccines in government clinic! And check ups in gov clinic are free so we are able to save up a lot for our child when he is born! Anyway, felt so victimised and cried silently. 

Second, was yesterday when I was told that I have GD, at week 19 😭 5 more months to go leh!! Anyway due to my BMI, I had to do the glucose test twice. And first time already kntoi. Week 28 gotta do it again. That drink is awful okay? Hated it! But for baby, I shall persevere. Apparently my FIL had to do yearly. Poor thing. My fasting blood sugar is 4.1 and after that awful drink, 8.1. So got to prick myself and go back to clinic again on Monday.

Appetite

Is back. But not in a vengance. So I still eat normal portion cause I was worried I’ll gain too much weight. End up, kena GD. -.- No spicy food cause hello heartburn!

Weight

Gained 1.3kg. Trying to control myself and maintain cause I don’t want to be scolded by doctor 😅 my rationale.

Baby

Is OK. Growing according to the chart apparently. Will be going for detailed scan on 24/1. So far couldn’t feel any movements yet.

Skin

is not good cause didn’t go facial for monthssss. Husband said no so, I also lazy la.

So pray for good result this Sunday when I prick and just pray for smooth pregnancy!!! Haven’t bought a thing for my anak yet but maybe after CNY la I’ll shop.

Till then.

Mrs Chong
