Progress during 31st week

Right now, outside was raining….and finally I’m blog in new office…yesterday we hav a smooth moving process and everything cover up late yesterday night….i’m not yet sitting at my own office, coz need to wait for those moved over partition to b set up like in old place, get back the network connection then only consider everything is complete, but majority are here now…temporary all of us using my FIL big office. Due to raining some outside renovation, installation and touch up work hav to b stop now n then. But no big deal, as long as office and inventory stock back in operation, others thing can b done little by little.

Was having my 31 weeks 1 day check up two day ago, early in the morning be his first patient of the day. This time I ask gynea about my numbness hand n leg. He said that is coz by water retention that happen to majority preg women. But I’m not serious that kind, coz just lil bit only. And today I read newspaper, it said try to reduce salt and drink water at night, it helps to reduce the water. May b yesterday shifting I’m moving a lot I found my palm n finger of both hand is slightly lil bit swollen (at first it only started at right hand).

Scanning time, baby everything is ok, can see clearly his face feature now and I got the scan print too (need to scan, later upload it). Aft I’m having that scan I keep on bring it in n out from my handbag and look at it…haha..the feeling really so sweet….eventhough is just black n white shadow scanning..i already so happy about it…when I miss him I will take it out and look again….haha…so the eagerness to see my baby is getting stronger n stronger. Baby now weight 1.2-1.3kg (about 2.64 pounds), I gain 1 kg within 2 weeks, still the same 80% I will deliver mid-May.

Cutie and I

Last Saturday was able to turn up the talk, but was 20 mins late. As I finish up work late and also jam at Cheras…so when I reached there, 1 topic have skip. There is a short presentation from StemLife cord blood bank. Aft the presentation I hav know more about the useful of cord blood to diseases. Cord blood is the cheapest n fastest way to get the highest capacity of blood cell. Anyway been asking many times to hubby, he still insist that is not a necessary…it required RM7,500 for 20 years of maintaining the blood in the bank (this hav include the registration fees and annual fees). 4 years ago, StemLife set up in Malaysia and collected 6,000 bags of blood and only a few been used up. Anyway, we dunno the importance until we really need them to safe life. There is a case in South Korea, a lady hav met an accident and couldn’t walk and lay on the bed for the past 20 years …aft many years of searching and waiting for the blood, which the ratio of matching is 1:20,000-40,000. Finally she found it and her sickness was being healed just in 3 weeks time.

Aft 20 mins break, with some light served refreshment, we start another topic of “Natural and Caesarian birth”. Again this topic was almost the same as the previous talk I attend, but this round is more in summarized and covered a few important points that not mention before this. But a lot of Q&A from audience, which is not related the topic. Aft filling up the talk evaluation form, that’s end of the talk.

Since Brandon work late and he not able to fetch me up. So I follow my fren to shop at KLCC and Mid Valley and walk a lot in the evening. Lately too in love in blue berry, went to Strudels bought a tart and cheese cake and yes both in blue-berry…though to share it with Brandon, but too bad he having some unusual uncomfortable to his body, so he is not having any of that, and this morning both are my breakfast…yummy!

Good that my upstair fella not making noise anymore…even they did shout scream and laugh loudly in the night, but they stop it aft 12am sharp…hopefully they know how to behave themselves la… Sunday, as usual went to church n back home…wow my mum said I fat already…aft not seeing me for 1 week. Yeah, especially the face..u know some of the dress can’t fit now…need bigger size…coz tummy getting bigger….expected 6 more weeks to pop. After church, check the baby stuff collected back from church fren and still hav some coming from my kind and generous church member.

Now, I wan to get ready my hospital bag as soon as I can. Have a check list, and only 30% of them are there…so I got to faster get them ready, as I can sense that my delivery will be getting more earlier than the expected...now I feel my placenta is getting lower, since baby head has turn and it always hitting my bladder. Yesterday afternoon, my left bottom stomach was swelling pain, I did nothing just lay on the bed to comfort it. Luckily nothing big deal…now ok already. Coming Wednesday will check up again, I’m so eager to ask gynea about baby situation and the most important the delivery date.

Month end office and warehouse will shift to another new warehouse, which own by FIL. This week he will b more busy to look aft the renovation and final touch up work. Hopefully we hav a smooth shifting on this weekend.

Uneducated neighbour

I nearly want to scold n shout to the 11th floor bastard thru my kitchen window facing up their bedroom window. I think those living in are some college student. Last night they really disturbing my sleep n even my baby also terkejut in the middle of night (coz he moving very much there). In the midnight of 1-3am, when we having the sweetest sleeping mode, they shout, scream, talk n laugh loudly and their walking step are like King Kong, can clearly hear the foot stepping sound. Not only that they also drag the table n chair and make out those scratching noise…really so terrible. This is not the first time, and also of coz they not having this behavior every night. Sometime they do it loud, sometime not, every fortnight they having different do. Last time I still ok and can stand with it, may be my mood swing aft pregnant, can’t take it anymore. Last night I really so mad and I think we cannot keep quiet about that. I want to shout to ask them to ‘diam lahh..’. I didn't do that as I dun wan them to recognize my look n later will do something on me. So I just go back to bed n try very hard to sleep.

Terribly, when I sleep, I dream twice on how to scold n warn them with letter, pasting horrible poster in front of their door, pasting notice at 11th floor lift button, inside lift and notice board by letting ppl know their behavior....wah this dream of action really so crazy man! …hai…really haunting me…of coz I’m not going to do that. Later I will write a letter to warn them, hopefully they will b considerate and co-operate.

29th week appointment

Went to check-up again. Be his last patient of the day. Ultra scan shows that the baby head has turn down. Features n parts everything can see clearly…healthy baby too.. wanted to print out his face features but this notty boy boy used his hand cover his mouth, not so nice to print. So got to wait next round…big eyes like Brandon and nose looks like me…small small lips…cute!

Doc said, 80% of times I might having 2 weeks early birth than the expected due. Now my check up appointment become 2 weeks once. My tummy was tremendously increasing n baby like kicking especially at night time, even I sleep early. I’m getting more n more easy to get tired n sleepy and now I can sleep as early as 9pm.

Now I’m thinking what name to put on him, many many have come across my mind. I will select a few to let FIL to choose.

There will b another pregnancy talk at Pantai Cheras on 25/3, is about before and aft preg nutrition, cord blood and I forget another topic..from 2-5pm. Might going for this talk too.

Looking forward for my 31st week appointment. Closer n closer now….

Give birth talk

Went to a talk conduct by MommyBaby mag panel doc Dr. Ng Kok Chong in Pantai Hospital, Pandan Indah. Went together with Ah Moon one of my fren who also preg 3 months+ now. Reach there a bit late and the talk already started. Upon registered roughly browse thru the name list written there, wow, only 3 ladies in mid 20s which included both of us. Others are early to mid 30s. Most of us are 1st time mother. From here we can see that nowadays women are getting late n late to have 1st child.

Dr. Ng’s talk covered quite detail about the labor process and what are the do n don’t before and during laboring. He also showed us live video the whole natural labor n cesarean section, which makes me so scary to look at it. I almost block my half eye to watch that. The purpose of it is to let us know how they done on natural and caesarean, and most important is to show us how the baby head position when the time it pass thru the virginal. Wow, the live video really nightmare to me. Especially the bloody section when the baby head come out n the part of cutting the cervix line. (mind fainted !~!) Watch also can feel the pain nia…

After 1 hour section end, we were served with light refreshment and also Dumex Mamil Gold counter are there to promote the milk powder for mummy.

2nd section talk conduct by the only Anaesthologist doc at that Pantai Hospital, Dr. Augustine Yew. Basically he let us know what are the way we can use for pain relief and when we should apply those methods provided. Next he describes to us how pain is labor pain. I almost mind fainted again…the statistic shows that, labor pain is above the pain u get from twist ankle, tooth ache and break bones. It almost reach 92% along the vertical pain scale, is the most pain. !!~!! aahh…how am I going to tahan the pain for 10-11 hours….I really can’t imagine now…he highly recommend the use of Epidural. He also told the audience husbands to be gentle to your wife when they are in labor pain. They may show u those faces or side that u never seen before. So, let them do the scold n punch. Anyway by that time the daddy also will b very stress.

Majority ladies will feel most pain for the 1st child and the following child will get lesser pain…now I realized why mother are so great again…remember last week Pastor do told me in Bible it said women got to be suffer more pain…

So summary, giving birth is PAIN ! PAIN ! PAIN and PAIN!!!!….Waaaaaaaa…
