Week 12 - A Bean-like Fetus



The doctor did another scan and this time we could see the fetus... thank goodness!

It's small like a bean though... so cute <3

Nothing much to say today except the relief that the baby's there and growing. It's not a blighted ovum after all... touchwood!

Week 8 - Vicks Vaporub helps with the nauseous feeling

Image
Haven't had an upchuck yet - hope I'll never do - and I felt a lot better last night - last morning though, that was the worse in the entire week. Managed to eat a whole lot more than I could for the previous days.  By the way, I've found that surprisingly Vicks - or to be more specific, inhaling the vapours of Vicks really helps to keep down whatever I've managed to eat. It doesn't help with the dizziness part - I'll recommend using medicated oil (a mix of eucalyptus oil, menthol, camphor, and spike lavender oil) instead - but it helps me combat that incessant nausea feeling that almost always come with the dizziness... hence, me referring to this combo symptoms as "motion sickness". Oh, and only 3 more days to go to my first doctor's appointment! Can't wait to start my daily regime of supplements... If you can't tell, I'm trying to be sarcastic here 😜 P/S: Not a sponsored article or anything. Just wanted to share something that works...

Week 27 - Hunger Pangs!

Image
Wowzers!  I'm just a few days into my third trimester (week 27) and I'm starting to get hunger pangs. It's incredibly weird since it's not particularly severe - like being hungry 30 mins after eating economy rice or anything like that - but I do get really hungry maybe 3 hours after?  I've noticed that I'm eating random stuff a lot more often like the banana cake I bought. Usually it'll last me days, but now, I'm left with only 2 pieces and it has only been 2 days since I bought it.  I also can't help but to snack on... well actual junk food. I've been really good and avoiding too much junk food throughout my second trimester and now that I'm getting hunger pangs, I often find myself more inclined to grab something savory like chips or sweet like ice cream or soda. Maybe I should steam edamame more often just so I'd have some actual healthy snacks to snack on. Can't wait for the doc's appointment next Monday though! Might be the t...

Week 36 - Baby dropped! The lightening

Image
I've read plenty of articles about this phenomenon called "baby dropping" or "the lightening" but I've never experienced it until early morning today. Wok up as usual early dawn for my hourly (or so) pee and I noticed a few very obvious things 1. My bladder is actually full for once (can fill more pee before urging me to go to the loo) 2. The almost constant pain I feel in my lower back when lying down is just magically gone! 3. I can definitely breathe a lot deeper and better than before! 4. I can actually lie on my back and not feel aches. 5. The pain in my muscles/joints in between my thighs and my pelvis are mostly gone as well!  6. And of course, once it's daylight, I've noticed that my tummy's shape is exactly like the picture above. Can't say that I'm not ecstatic about this, not because I think the baby's due in 2 weeks to 4 weeks' time (according to said articles), but because I feel more like myself now. Still getting pa...
