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 [...]

Benjac, LBJ & Scubby
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 Updates 41: Officially Full Term!
In: Baby Benjac| Pregnancy Updates| Preparations| We're Expecting
11 Feb 2010And ready to pop at any given time from now onwards. It could be today, next week or maybe even a month later at 42 weeks. The exact date depends on this little miracle breathing inside me. Mommy & Daddy would just have to be patience
Your baby weighs close to 2.8kg and may [...]
Anterior & Posterior Birth, pt 2 – Homework!
10 Feb 2010I’ve been trying to figure out LBJ’s exact position in utero since last Thursday and I am simply hopeless. The husband can’t seem to understand why I’m getting so worked up over it *humph* But thankfully, LBJ is definitely head down!
Even with a Compass
Mommy is so hopelessly lost with her imagination

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 [...]
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 [...]
I’ve been very happy and relieved to know that LBJ has continued to stay head down since Week 27. But at this moment, he is still facing forward in the posterior position. I hope during delivery, LBJ would be a good boy and turn 180 degrees for his Mommy
Posterior Position
The baby goes down [...]
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 [...]
