Baby Update 5

Baby Update 5:

12th November:

Wk 21.. very excited for the detailed scan checkup tmr.. technically u’re wk22 this week.

So quickly it’s almost 5mths+ now..

I haven been able to write and update as much recently cos I’ve been down with the flu together with your brother.. so between taking care of him and resting, feels like 24hrs is not enough..

Feel this pregnancy is really different from the 1st round— I rarely got sick or even headache during the 1st pregnancy.

Much lesser pain in my abdomen.. 

But this time round, 2nd trimester is not as pain free...

Been having so many occasions of headache... and about 2weeks back, the pain in my bump area was so bad that I was concerned enough to have to email dr Choo about it..

(Hmmm... Need to ask her tmr why is it that I keep getting it..)

And you this girl ah, what are u doing inside? Some moments I really feel like you’re gonna stretch my tummy until it bursts!

This is only at 5th mth! I can’t imagine the torture it’ll be if u continue at this rate when ure at wk36++... think even by wk30 it will be torture le!

Good girl abit ok... mummy not having an easy time taking care of your older brother when ure doing gymnastics in my tummy ok...

Better go sleep.. early appt timing of 9am tmr! Still need to send don to sch first! See u tmr my baby girl! 😘

14th November:

Hah... your edd date is confusing your daddy n me!

First it was 26th.. then after the scan, we clearly rmb it being changed to 20th.. but turns out we’re to follow 26th not 20th... 😅

So ure still wk21... oh well, as long as you’re healthy and growing well.. that’s all I ask for..

And of cos a smooth and safe delivery in March (best if it can be on the 19th! 😬)

The scan we did ytd went well... sonographer was pressing down pretty hard at some parts but other than that, all was good.. 

As we busy ourselves with the day to day happenings, sometimes it’s easy to ‘forgot’ that I’m growing a little one in me... these days abit harder to forget cos of all the pain in the tummy area!

So it was pretty amazing to actually see your little hands n feet moving on the scan. :)

I can’t wait to meet u baby girl....

Anyway was reading on the birth story written by a newly minted mummy on Dayre and somehow was tearing up when she wrote abt the epidural part.

The way she put it sounds awful but honestly I haven had the courage to go read up more on that just yet.

Was asking Theresa whether for C-sec, is it the option of only epidural or full GA and she said yes.

At this point of time, im super not keen on epidural if I’m alrdy gonna do a c-sec... but I know GA comes with a whole lot of risks that I’m also concerned about...

Will baby be very drowsy? Will baby be able to pull it through?

Will I sleep and never wake up again? Will my pressure increase like previous times when i was put under GA?

I guess it’s a little premature to worry about that now.. May the wonders of God show me the way and let me deliver baby girl in a safe way for the both of us! And also for me to experience minimal pain! 😬

Cya in Dec girl girl......

1 December:

So quickly it’ll be wk24 this week... been quite a packed month with rushing for dateline for the closing...

Recently been feeling so much discomfort after sitting for awhile... the tailbone area hurts so bad..

Then today even hurts when I walk at times.. and all this pain is even when I’m alrdy wearing the pregnancy support belt..

Haiz girl ah, are u growing very quickly? Really can’t wait for an update on thurs...

Hope GD is not a reason for this big belly size! It’s waaaay bigger than it was with don!

Actually got more to update but I’m feeling so tired now.. will try to put in another proper update before thurs! Haha...

3rd December:

Dear baby girl, I think ure absorbing all the food I’m eating pretty well! Cos I think ure getting bigger quicker than I expect...

At barely 24wks, I feeling a lot of discomfort that your Brother gave me only during the 3rd trimester...

Your daddy says it’s because I’m taking in too much sweet stuff and soft drinks... and I think I agree...

Can’t keep away from the sweets... 😰 totally not gonna help the GD test this thurs...

Haizz... I really really hope ure ok my dear girl..

Guess it’s time to change my diet le...

All this back pain and stomach tightness is not going to be easy to manage as we progress...

Praying for the scans to be good on Thursday.. hope Dr Choo will say that ure of average weight... 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
