Pregnancy Updates 45: Is This It?
23 Feb 2010At approximately 4.07am this morning, I was shot awake with a bad cramp in my belly. I’ve not been able to go back to sleep because the pain returns every 10 minutes or so. It is now 9.34am *yawn*
Could this be the real deal or a false alarm?
The contractions are similar to that of [...]
Pregnancy Updates 44: Headache.
22 Feb 2010Last night I gave the husband and myself a fright after an unexpected headache appeared out of nowhere just before sleeping time. We were happily exploring like kampung kids the mobile internet features on our identical Sony Ericsson when the sudden pain surprised me.
Remembering what the staff at Dr Tan’s clinic told us — [...]
Pregnancy Updates 43: Blood Pressure.
17 Feb 2010During our last antenatal appointment, my BP somehow shot a bit higher than normal with a reading of 130/80. I’m still wondering how it got so high since I was seated the whole time waiting for our turn *puzzled*
Blood Pressure during Pregnancy
By the 6th month of pregnancy, you will have produced an extra two and [...]

Our humble family would like to wish everyone a

Looks like I won’t be delivering today just yet since I am still here. And that leaves me wondering whether it is a good or bad thing, given my previous [...]
Pregnancy & Soya Beans.
In: It Sucks| Mother To Be
9 Feb 2010A chilled glass of Soya Bean Milk is simply heavenly on a warm day, or whenever. Don’t you agree? That’s exactly what I’ve been having almost daily for the past 2 months. Whenever possible, we would buy a large bottle and that could last us for a day or 2.
This is not uncommon among us [...]

8 Feb 2010These may not be Glass Slippers
But they could well be since I can’t fit them no more
The swelling almost always goes down a little during morning time. They are at worst in the evening due to the burden of carrying me — 16kg of excess baggage — the whole day long, and also [...]
Pregnancy Updates 38: Fat Mama!
In: It Sucks| Mother To Be| Pregnancy Symptoms| Pregnancy Updates
3 Feb 2010Unfortunately, I suspect that’s exactly what you’ll be calling me because I will simply become one. Though I don’t mind being called Phat Mama, but reality is often bitterly cold *humph*
Since September last year (16 weeks into my pregnancy), my weight has been going up, up and up *blaming it on the milk!* @#$%& (-__-||)
At [...]

Pregnancy Updates 37: Little Benjac is 2.4kg!
In: Baby Benjac| Mother To Be| Pregnancy Updates| Thanksgiving| We're Expecting
2 Feb 2010Just like our 1st antenatal check-up months ago, today we waited a good 2 hours for Dr Tan because he had 2 deliveries back to back earlier at noon. The poor man didn’t get to have his lunch — until it was 4pm — after he had cleared all his morning appointments. Then immediately he [...]
Pregnancy Goodness: Birth Ball.
In: Mother To Be| Preparations
29 Jan 2010The Birth Ball is the same as the Gym Ball. It was originally developed for physical therapy in treating orthopedic and neurological disorders. Since introduced years ago, it has become a favourite complement for everyday exercise.
Why use a Birth Ball?
It is a wonderful comfort tool for pregnancy and labour. It can be used for support, [...]
