Cranky and Fierce Midwife

Thinking back about my 4th child birth experience, I regretted not requesting my hubby to come in the labor room first before I start pushing. I got a very cranky and fierce midwife this time around and she treated me roughly too. My legs was so painful and I had difficulty moving it after I gave birth for about 2 days. I wonder whether I can to sue her! Haha! You know what? She only called my hubby after baby is out! I think she did it on purpose because if hubby is around, she can't ill treat me. Anyway, I thank God that I had a safe delivery and my baby is perfect and healthy.

Stylish Maternity Clothes

I have been pregnant 5 times and never once I get to wear stylish maternity clothes. The main reason is, I did not have the money to spend on those expensive maternity clothes. And I also did not have anywhere to go to parade the stylish maternity clothes. I am either at work or at home. During my 5th pregnant, I don't even wear maternity clothes until I am 7 months pregnant and when I need to go to church. I only wear my L size t-shirt at home.

How To Get Rid of Post-Pregnancy Weight

One of my sisters just gave birth a month ago and she is still big! Even though she eats very little during her meal time, the extra fat that she gathered during pregnancy didn't seems to go away. She seriously need to check out the top diet pill or exercise of she wants to get her slim body again.

My youngest sister is also still big even though her baby is coming into her 8th month. As for her, I doubt whether she diets coz she and her hubby loves to eat and she was not able to breastfeed her daughter too. Looks like I have to accept the fact that both my sisters are bigger that me. :P

D-Day was April 16

Finally baby decided to say "Hello World" on April 16 at 10.10am. It was a pretty quick labor and child birth; the pain was very bearable for someone who has low pain tolerance. Will blog it in detail in my Sketches of Life when I find the time soon.

I really praise God that He made 2nd class ward full. Due to it, we only pay RM40 instead of RM350; I stayed in the 3rd class ward. Can use the extra to buy new outdoor cushions for me to breastfeed. =)

Gained 1.6kg in 6 Days

Unbelievable! Unpredictable!

That is how I describe my weight during pregnancy. Just last week, my weight dropped further to only 58.5kg. Yesterday, I weighed at 60.1kg. I really wonder where did the weight has been hiding. Like playing hide and seek with me only. hehe.

Today is my due date and there is still no sign of labour. I hope I don't gain weight further if not I will surely need to look for the best diet pills available to make me look slim and sexy again. :P

Yes! Still Round, Still Bloated

No sign at all! Actually got lar...tummy is very low now and whenever I stand up, I feel like baby can just slight out but still no contraction pain, no water bag leaking and no blood show.

Maybe baby is too small that is the reason God made him stay a lil longer to develop more flesh! I have gain back my appetite for the past few days but I still can't eat that much. Tummy is always "full". LOL.

I wonder whether I have gain weight this week rather than reduced like previous weeks. Today will be yet another pregnancy check-up at the government clinic, I will know later this afternoon whether I need to check out the diet pill reviews or not. ;)

Pregnancy Check Up

I am still around. No blog break yet.

I was at the clinic just now doing my weekly check-up. Baby head is way down under but still no sign of giving birth.

I was there very late today; around 3.30pm and not many patient around. Some of the nurses was busy counting the catheters, some updating their records, some resting in the pantry and some just chatting away.

My check up was done in less than half an hour. That is very fast for a government clinic. Next time (if there is next time) must come during this hour. ;)

Less Than 3 Months

I have less than 3 months to go before my baby say "Hello World". With the monthly increase of milk powder, I really hope that I can fully breastfeed for at least 2 years with this coming baby. That will save me a lot of money and I don't have to crack my head to choose which diet supplements work the best for me.

I Put On Weight Already Lor

I definitely need the best weight loss pills I can find after I give birth if breastfeeding did not help much in shedding the fats that I am accumulating.

When I look at myself in the mirror I don't see any extra flesh on my face except the tummy. But when I met Chinnee 2 days ago; someone who having seen me face to face for a long time, she commented that I put on weight a little bit.

Maybe a tiny winy bit (still in denial) since my morning sickness left me, I put on 1kg in a week! =(

Not too Hard and Not too Soft

When I am pregnant, I easily get backache. If I lie down on the floor, I will have hard time getting up without feeling the pulling on my back bone. If I sleep on a soft bed, I will wake up with a backache. So my bed must be just nice. Not to hard and not too soft. Looks like I need to spend to buy me a new bed??? I wonder whether the sleep number bed will work wonders.

Baby Dun Want Mommy To Blog!

I have not been blogging like usual of late due to my morning sickness. I can't face my pc more than half an hour; I will get dizzy, then I will feel nauseous and if I continue, I will puke!

So far, I have tried all my favorite food even tempted to try some appetizer recipes to get rid of this nausea feeling and taste in my mouth but nothing works.

The only way for me now is to stay away from my pc for a while and rest more.

Craving for Baseball

I wish I have a few Baseball Gloves right now. Then I won't be stuck here in my room blogging away. The in laws are back, the cousins are back and I can have 2 baseball teams! Oh ya! We have the space too to play this game. *sigh* I should invest buying all the equipment when I have the money then. As it is, we will just gather around our 21" square box and watch the game instead of playing it.

Oh gosh! Just by writing this post makes me miss playing baseball so much. When you are pregnant, you will normally crave for food. Thank God so far I have not craved for anything else but food. If I “crave” to play a game of baseball, I wonder how my husband is going to make that happen for me.

When I crave for something, just the thought of it wanna make me vomit. The only way to stop it is by having the food that I crave for in my mouth. I think I should stop thinking about baseball, I worry that if I think too much about it, I will crave for it and I might have to vomit all night long!

Pregnancy Makes Me Unproductive

I have a few assignments to write but all I could do is just stare at my laptop, stare at the wall, stare at my feet and stare at my hubby sleeping.

My mind just couldn't focus on writing reviews not even crapping.

In the morning I told myself, I will do it after sending my kids to my mom's. While I was there, I was just too lazy to drive back home and ended up napping there.

Then I told myself that I will get to it after the children slept. When putting them to sleep, I slept! By the time I woke up, my mind is on a sleep mode.

I think I better head the pillow now and hope I can write something tomorrow morning.

Maternity Clothes Are Expensive

Last weekend I went to shop for some maternity clothes because mine are mostly for office use.

Unfortunately, none of the maternity blouse catch my attention. They are huge and ugly and very expensive too.

But thanks to today's fashion whereby most blouse are flare below the chest, I just bought a size bigger and it serve as maternity blouse for me. Cheaper some more!

Before I was pregnant, I was complaining that I can't find new blouse for me coz most of them will make me look pregnant even though their design are nice.

Now I am wearing them and I not only look pregnant, I AM pregnant! LOL

I might Need Fat Burners

I never sleep this much during my other 3 pregnancies because I was working. Well, I did nap in the office when the bosses are away but not everyday like what I am doing now.

I was at my girls kindy on Wednesday and one of her teachers commented that I put on weight. Oh No! I am fat.

I just hope that breastfeeding will help shed all the excess fat if not I have to turn to fat burners.

Early Pregnancy Experiences

How was your EARLY PREGNANCY experience? Well, as for my first pregnancy, it was very challenging because I had a miscarriage before it and I had the same spotting or some call it discharge, for the first few weeks. So there was the risk of losing my baby again. That was how I lost my first because I thought the brownish discharge was a common vaginal discharge. I regretted being so ignorant about it until today. Please no matter whatever colour your discharge is, please contact your gynae.

I was given medical leave to stay at home instead of working to just lie down and lift my legs up. Even when I went back to work after that, whenever I see some spotting, I would quickly go lie down in the office bedroom for about an hour. At that time, my boss was very supportive and my colleagues too.

I can’t remember having any morning sickness. No gagging, no vomiting just a mild nauseous that easily goes away after I took some food. And I make sure I eat healthy food. I ate lot of fruits and steam vegetables. Be sure to choose your diet carefully. You want a healthy and bouncy baby right? And not forgetting the energy to push your baby out. Hehe. Eat right and eat healthily. More advice on Diet For A Healthy Pregnancy.

I am Pregnant

I am pregnant. I AM PREGNANT! Yay!!! Finally I am pregnant!

Not me. Not yet. Maybe not again. :P I have 3 beautiful children already. :)

I long to hear those word comes out from my sister in law who is still trying for her second baby. It has been five years already. From another sister in law who just got married last year and had a few miscarriages too. Sad. If not my children would have more playmates.

When I first got pregnant, almost 5 years ago, the first thing I did was Google for pregnancy due date calculator. I was so excited to know when I will get to hold my baby in my arms. It was the second pregnancy for me because I had a miscarriage too during my first pregnancy. So that was much an anticipated pregnancy.

Then I subscribed to a website that offers weekly guides on what’s happening in my tummy and the stages of my baby’s development. If you are looking for one too, I would suggest you get it from Gurgle.com. You just need to register as member and they will email you exactly what is happening with your baby and your body each week of your pregnancy. There are also videos to watch and you would be able to meet other mommies-to-be in the same stage. This is much more fun than just receiving emails.
