Time really flies!!! To think that not soo long ago, I tested positive...then came the first trimester which isnt as bad as I thought it will be.. even though there was a couple of days I was down with morning sickness... then second trimester whipped past without a hitch... and now I am at my third trimester already... and it will be ending soon in 3 weeks!!!! How fast is that??? Hah
I started my maternity leave officially on 9th May... even though I will be still working from home.. at least I no longer have to make the 2 hours trip to work, up 3 flights of stairs.. and then make the same journey back... I reckon I will feel quite bored being stuck at home... other than going back to KK for the regular check ups... but the check ups are more packed now... it used to be once a mth.. then twice a week and now onwards it will be every week... becoz the baby is due anytime soon and they want to closely monitor it to make sure everything proceed smoothly.. The last checkup, baby weight is 2.7kg.. doc said it is abit too big for a 35 weeks baby, especially for my size... hmm... but I can't really control whatever I am eating.. so what the hack..
Everyone that see me now said my stomach is huge, even my dad...!! All the aunties in my block have been asking my mother in law if I am having twins... duhz!! Anyway the way I see it.. I dun feel my stomach being big at all.... hello.. it's a real live baby inside.. what do u expect??? Some old wives tale about not knowing how to hide my stomach... why should I?? And besides why would people even bother to hide their stomach for??? If you are pregnant you are pregnant.. I am as proud of my bump as I can be.. hahaha...
Anyway we went down and book my maternity package last Saturday during Rick's off day.. so that's one thing down... I wasn't very happy with what KK have to offer.. but at 35 weeks, I can't be bothered much... so let hope everything goes smoothly as planned... and I wun incur any much additional costs on top of the package becoz it will add up to a very pricy amount if it does... and thanks god there is the 0% installment plan... somehow it just help a bit to reduce the heartpain of seeing one whole lumpsum of 2k+ disappear from the bank account... self consolation indeed..
Started packing my bag today... already on standby mode... since baby might pop any day now crossing into 37 weeks.. in fact my mum has been nagging at me for quite some time on that... actually there isnt much... I just need to get a couple of more things ready for my confinement...a long sleeve jacket, bedroom slippers and socks... went out yesterday to Mustafa but didnt manage to get any of the items... most prob try my luck again this weekend... but first thing first I have already chopped off my long hair and got myself a short hairstyle.. hahah ... since I will be super wrapped up during my confinement... not being able to shower, not able to slp with aircon, cannot have the fan directly blowing at me... have to wear long sleeve, long pant, socks and bedroom slippers.. I reckon I will be sweating buckets... so I am sure short hair will help greatly... the hairstylist thinks that it is a waste for I have been having long hair so quite some time.. but hey that isn't anywhere on my concern list at the moment... for now I am just worried about how to make myself more comfortable... and not the opposite.. it will just be for a month.. and maybe it will help me to lose weight fastly.. so ok let just do with it...
Now that the due date is getting closer... even me (usually the calm one) is starting to panic a little... even though I kept telling myself that I cant plan for all possibilities.... so I should just let nature take its own course.. I am opting for natural birth... with the help of nitrous oxide of course.. but surely not epidural... I dun wan a injection in my spine.. and I surely dun want the helpless feeling of not being able to feel anything waist down.... I have quite a high threshold for pain.. and I believe very much in the fact that the brain controls over the physical state of the body... so it is how u think and not how u feel... so I am hoping with all these I am able to overcome the painful contractions.. although I still have no idea how painful the contractions are... my mum and my 2 best frenz think that I will surely be able to make it through since my character has always been very strong and rough... they know that I am not one of those gentle type of gals that cry out in pain at any simplest things... but Rick is abit worried... his major concern is he dun wan to see me in pain.... extreme pain that's it... so he kept asking me why I dun wan to choose C-section... since most of the people are going for it... it's like the easy way out... go in 15 mins the baby is out and there is no pain at all (not until afterwards)... but I dun wan a C-section... it wouldnt be considered childbirth if you nv go through natural labour at all!! That's what I think.. unless touch wood.. if I really cannot go for natural and have to go for a C-section.. then bo bian... but if can.. I am sticking to natural and that's it...
