aching arm

i woke up in the middle of night yesterday as my right arm is aching so badly and feel numb. i have to wake up to do a little massage on it to get rid of the numbness then went back to sleep. when i woke up in the morning, it still aches badly. it only get better as the day progress. however, the ache came back again after i woke up from my afternoon. and this time it had cause my finger to be numb. 

i wonder what had cause this ache. it happen to my left arm about 1 month back too but at that time, the ache didn't last very long. i'm fine by noon. not like this time, it still feel a bit aching as i'm writing this now. hopefully, it will go away by tomorrow. i must remember to ask my gynae about this when i see him again in 2 weeks times. certainly hope this had nothing to do with baby.

24 hour clinic

we went to kk 24 hour clinic in the afternoon today as i notice slight spotting. the clinic is very crowded today, waited for about an hour or more before i see the doc. by then, there isn't any spotting liao. did a check for any bleeding and scan. baby is ok. which is the most important. i'm in my 15 weeks liao, i still thought its 14 weeks only. ask the doc for the size of baby but doc can't get the measurement as baby is very active and keep moving. we were told to monitor for spotting and avoid intercourse for the time being. if everything is fine, just come back for regular visit in 2 weeks time.

3rd gynae visit

darling got to work a bit late today so i went to kk on my own and wait for him. luckily, he still make it in time to go in for the scan with me. thus, he got to see baby too. heheh..... finally, we get to see baby's shape forming liao. from the position, we feel that baby must be sleeping while the scan is done. 

 

darling said baby is just like me always sleep. hehehehe..... whatever, we are glad to see that baby is growing well and dr concludes that baby is consider stable liao. however, he still give me the hormones pill to continue for another 2 weeks. he said, we got to stop it gradually and not suddenly. next visit will be 3 weeks later but we won't be seeing him.

 

we will be doing the first trimester test to test for down syndrome. we told him, we are kiasu and kiasee parents so whatever he recommends we will do. hahahah..... 

 

i was also given some cod liver oil capsule and calcium tablets. these are supposed to be taken on our next visit. but i told him, i'm a lousy mummy. i don't know how to swallow medicine. all that he had given me so far, i had chewed all of them up. thus, it will hard for me to eat the cod liver oil. good thing is that he said, i try with what he give me today. if i really can't take it, then we will try to find other alternatives next time. phew!!!

 

i'm at my 9 weeks and 3 days today and weigh 46.2kg now. baby is 24.8mm now. so happy to see baby today, really can't wait to see baby again in 3 weeks time. but i wonder if there will be scan done then. hmm.....

not well

going into week 7 soon, today is the worst day of ms so far. don't feel like eating anything yet constantly feel the hunger. once food is placed in front of me, i can only take a few bites and that's it. the only food that i can place in my mouth recently is whipped potato from kfc. had been eating a lot of that. 

 

had a sudden craving for delifrance deli potato. make a trip to heartland mall then to realise that delifrance had closed. so we travel to hougang mall, then the delifrance there is a bistro, they don't have deli potato. i was so sad. end up having ajisen. i order a tom yam ra-mian. i have better appetite with sour food. 

 

darling bought me to toa payoh hdb hub delifrance to have my deli potato. after having my dinner, i feel so lousy. keep wanting to puke though there is always nothing coming out. i feel so bad that i started crying non-stop. simply can't control my tears. 

 

hopefully, these ms is a good sign of baby is growing well. then all these suffering is worth it. baby, lets be strong to brave through these period.

2nd gynae visit

we have our 2nd visit to gynae today. did a scan and the necessary routine test. manage to see baby's heartbeat though we are into week 5. baby is super small, only 2.2mm. being able to see baby's heartbeat is the best confirmation. 

 

not sure if ms had started to kick in, i don't feel hungry since yesterday. don't feel like eating at all but stomach always feels empty. when this feeling comes, i will want to vomit but there is nothing to throw out. gynae had advise to take small meal but more times. of course, i can't skip all the medication given. 

 

i had requested for mc till christmas so that i can rest at home. had been feeling tired. hehehe.......

its a chemical reaction

we went to kkh to see doc today. doc mention that as i was in the super early stage, he won't do a scan. at this very moment, we can only call this a chemical pregnancy. whether it will develop into a real pregnancy, we will know 2 weeks later when we go back for review. i never know that there are actually such things know as chemical pregnancy and there is a 30% of failure. 

 

the doc is very encouraging, he told us not to come back feeling disappointed. there is still a high chance of 70% success rate. he give me some hormones pill to support the pregnancy and 3 days mc to rest at home. we reached home at about 1 and i had been napping since then till 4.30pm. i just feel so tired today. 

 

i do hope that this pregnancy will be successful then it will be the best christmas present for everyone of us.

positive!!!

i have have strong feeling that i might be pregnant as i notice some spotting. thought that my menses had reported early but the spotting is very minimum and was on and off. i bought a test kit today and test it out. i got a positive test. i was not really shocked by it since i already sense it. 

 

i didn't tell darling the result, i just show him the test kit. he look at for a while and ask what. it take him a while to know that it had indicated that i'm pregnant. he is so kan cheong and said that we will go to the doc tomorrow. when i told him about my spotting and why i suspect, he starts to get worried. but importantly, we must go to doc tomorrow.

 

this time round, we decided to inform our parents about it no matter what.

its over and gone

we left for tmc at 6.20am, after doing the necessary admission documents, i was lead to my ward by 7.30am. i was told to change into the operating gown. as i had never had an operation before, i wore the gown wrongly. hehe..... the nurse came in to take my temperature and pressure told me i had wore it wrongly and ask me to change. my ops was schedule at 9am. before 9am, another nurse came with the bed and brought me down to the theatre. she told my darling to wait in the room as i will be back very soon. 

 

so i left with them feeling scared but i keep telling myself i had to be strong and can't cry. i fought back my tears and told myself to close my eyes and rest so that i won't start imagining. at the waiting area, there were lots of pregnant ladies waiting to give birth. everyone is busy running here and there. i was there alone, waiting for gynae and anesthetic to come. all i know was that i waited for some time before i was pushed into the operating theatre (ot). or maybe i'm worried so the wait seems to be very long.

 

in the ot, the general anesthetic talked to me and give me a jab on my left hand so that i can have the drip and the anesthetic later. within seconds after the Anesthetic was injected i lost consciouses. all i remember is that the room is very cold and something cold seems to be flowing in from my left hand vein then i was knock out. i don't know how long was the procedures and what was done. but i can hear people talking around me and calling my name, telling me its over.

 

but i'm just too tired and all i want is to sleep. my head and hands feel so heavy, i try lifting my hand but its just too heavy. i just keep sleeping till about 11.30am before i woke up and talk to darling. at that moment, i still feel very tired and want to sleep. darling is so worried, he asked me why i took so long. he waited until he can't tahan and went to ask the nurse for me, then he saw me coming back. 

 

when i woke up at about 12+, i was told that i can change. after lunch and check by their doc, i can leave. however, the wait for the doc is so long. finally, i was discharge at about 2.30pm. we went to make payment and were shocked to see the bill. after medisave, we had to pay about 1.3k in cash. i was shocked that i told darling, maybe its cheaper to do it in clinic. all he said is, its ok as long as you are ok. 

 

i was given 2 weeks mc, medication and going back for review on mon.
