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*

Pregnancy Updates 40: Cinderella No More.

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 39: Fetal Hiccups.
3 Feb 2010It is such a shame that I did not record when I first felt LBJ hiccuped. I think it was as early as when I first felt him moved. The feeling is very different from his aerobatic stunts, and are consistently in rhythm.
Why do babies hiccups in the womb?
Only the more mature fetuses will [...]
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 36: Stretch Marks!

28 Jan 2010Or should I call them Glory Marks? Else the pregnancy would not be complete without them *console self*
Although some women are lucky to avoid them completely, I am not that fortunate because genetics plays a role in this peeving aftermath. If your mother or sister had them during pregnancy, you will certainly do too [...]
Pregnancy Updates 35: Water Retention.
In: It Sucks| Mother To Be| Pregnancy Symptoms| Pregnancy Updates
27 Jan 2010The 1st time I wrote about my swollen feet was back in November. In actual fact, my feet has been slowly increasing in size since late September (17 weeks pregnant) when I had to borrow my Mom’s sandals. Now my once skinny tiny feet has grown snuggly into the generous size 6 Mary Jane!
Swelling During [...]
I’ve actually been having these contractions for some time now without knowing that they were IT. Only yesterday evening that I was 100% sure after doing some readings on them. All these while, I thought it was naughty boy LBJ pressing from within
