I AM ONLY AT WEEK 35......T.T

Somehow 1st and 2nd trimester passed soooo quickly...it was like just yesterday I tested positive..now I am in week 35...BUT it seems like FOREVER to be in full term week 37....2 more weeks to full term!!! JIA YOU MICHAELA and EVANGELINE! I am aiming for a baby not more den 3.2kg at birth...dun wan a big baby..3kg would be perfect. I wonder when she'll come out...morning? afternoon or night...I am choosing afternoon when i am the MOST awake so I can push!!!!!! So, what did i eat today?

Breakfast: Cream of mushroom, 1 cuppa protein shake
Lunch: Fried rice, 1 cup of carrot juice
Dinner: Rice and mixed veggies
Everything in between: A few pieces of prawn crackers, 1 cup of apple juice, jelly, small bowl of chicken soup

Compared to what i ate last week...THIS IS A LOT BETTER!! I am not forcing myself to eat...not that bad..

Fatigue is top on the list for pregnancy symptoms today!

So damn sleepy..i was watching supernatural and i fell asleep...i took a bath...came back and I fell asleep. but i know I CANNOT GO TO SLEEP NOW!! Becos if i were to sleep now, I wun be sleeping at night...i just have to tahan for a few more hours after my dinner den i can go to sleep.

WORST NIGHT EVER!

My entire calf was cramped up!!! OMG..1st time I got leg cramps...It hurts sooo much...but can be tolerated...But it woke me up from my beauty sleep...but i raised it high in the air and it went away..den i went to the toilet, went back to sleep and i was woken up by another pain...the pain in my pelvic bone..right side...the calf cramps were on my right side too...WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY RIGHT SIDE??? T.T

What is GBS?

GBS is usually harmless in adults, but if you have it and pass it on to your baby during birth, it can cause serious complications, such as pneumonia, meningitis, or a blood infection. Because 10 to 30 percent of pregnant women have the bacteria and don't know it, it's vital to be screened. (The bacteria come and go on their own — that's why you weren't screened earlier in pregnancy.) If you're a GBS carrier, you'll get IV antibiotics during labor, which will greatly reduce your baby's risk of infection.

Baby update week 35!

Baby update:


At 35 weeks pregnant, your baby probably weighs more than 5.3 pounds. He or she could be measuring as long as 18.2 inches from head to heel. You should expect your little bundle of joy to pack on at least two pounds and a few extra inches by the time he or she is born. 

At 35 weeks pregnant, your baby is still working diligently on gaining more fat layers to keep him or her safe and warm in the first weeks after delivery. 

Space is getting limited in your womb, so your baby won't be doing any major flips or somersaults in your uterus. Your baby's kicks are probably getting painful and uncomfortable. 


Your little one's suckle reflexes should be well developed by now. If born prematurely at pregnancy week 35, most babies will still be able to breastfeed with little trouble.

At 35 weeks pregnant, your baby's lungs are maturing. They're producing surfactant, a substance that coats the lungs and keeps them from sticking together. Premature babies often don't have enough surfactant, so they often need help breathing. 




Mummy update:


At 35 weeks pregnant, your uterus is a whopping six inches above your belly button. You might think you can get any bigger, but you still have five more weeks until your due date, and 2 more weeks until your baby is considered "full term."

From pregnancy week 35 until you deliver, you will be having your prenatal visits every week. Although you're probably dying to know when exactly you'll deliver, your doctor's guess is as good as yours. Some women will deliver a full-term baby at 37 weeks, while others have to wait until they're 40 weeks along. 

LOLZ. How i wish I had twins...SO DAMN CUTE

She gained 500g!!! WOOHOOOO!!!! I can stop my junk food spams! I gain 2.5kg in 2 weeks..T.T NOOOOOOOO. Time to cut down on rubbish food.

BACK FROM WEEK 35 CHECK UP!!!!!!!!

Baby says MORNING and mummy says morning..........

I Slept from 8pm til 8am. 12 hours...trying to catch as much sleep as I can b4 baby girl arrives...but I'm still waking up every 2 hours..anyway, going to go for my check up later. Hopefully Michaela's gain weight and I have not. *dreaming*. Now I am just waiting for the family to wake up so we can proceed to orchard tgt. Baby girl has been VERY VERY VERY VERY active this week for I have no idea what reason. Maybe running outta space. I can feel ALL her movements.I have a feeling that she has turned from head down to breech somehow..hopefully not...And hopefully my placenta is still doing her job in providing all that baby needs..if not...HOLA INDUCTION! Wide awake and blogging in the early morning. perfect!

Baby is still squirming

Keep kicking and kicking...maybe becos she's been SOO active..that's why she's so slim...I wonder what her weight and my weight will be like tmr....I have been gorging myself for these past 2 weeks..hopefully I gain not more den 1kg...and for baby to gain all the 1kg..hahaahaha..maybe she'llbe 2.1kg...hopefully more so I can be relaxed about her birth weight..

Weather is Hot and Even Michaela can't stand it...

Michaela has been VERY VERY active today..And i think its due to the damn weather. DAMN HOT. I have been drinking lots of water to cool my internal temperature as much as I can for Michaela..but somehow it seems to me that its not doing anything for my benefit...I am still melting under the heat..

Due date closing!!!

20 more days till Little Miss Michaela's arrival! Why is it 20 more days?? Becos there is a high chance that i will be induced, as according to the doc...becos of my aging placenta. Can't wait!!!!!!!!

Done with lunch!

I had the watercress soup i cooked and some beancurd skin fried chicken and fried onion egg...baby is very very active today for I dunno what reason..especially after eating...

Baby having hiccups!

Weird Old wives tales about pregnancy....pantang stuff

I have heard TONNES of weird things that old people say about being pregnant..this can't do..that can't do...some are proven but some are just plain rubbish...so here I have a list of what i know about weird tales about what pregnant women can or cannot do. 

Before you’re 3 months pregnant, you must not tell people about your pregnancy to avoid miscarriage 

Total Rubbish. Nobody tells people becos before 3 months, the risk of miscarriage is higher..it DOESN'T cause the miscarriage.

Must not move house to avoid miscarriage. Another Rubbish....You are not allowed to move house becos it involves carrying heavy stuff and IF you have a low lying placenta or any medical condition it will lead to bleeding and if you have a normal pregnancy, it will cause back ache. Nothing to do with miscarriage.

Cannot sew anything because the baby's anus will end up with NO HOLE. RUBBISH. It is due to defect..not sewing...GOSH

Cannot paint, because your baby will have patches, or whatever ugly birthmark...RUBBISH. It is not recommended to paint cos of the poisonous fumes...not the birthmark or patches...=.=

Eat all you crave...becos if you dun, your baby will drool a lot when he or she comes out.. RUBBISH. WHERE IS THE DAMN LINK???!!!

Cannot eat crab..becos baby will end up being very hand itchy..this wanna touch that wanna touch..NO LINK RUBBISH. Its more of the cholesterol level den the baby coming out hand itchy...

Cannot sit cross legged becos baby will end up with bow leg...HELLO?!?!? WAD RUBBISH. Most Asian babies are born with bow leg which will become straight after a few months. Its due to genetics not how the mum sits...

ALL RUBBISH......FAINT....

Bored....

So....i am bored...and watching supernatural for the 3rd or 4th time already...gonna go get durian later and some other food..

Breathless!

I merely took my laptop from the living room to my room, bent down to take the charger and plugged it into the laptop and now i am breathless....wad on earth is this??

No appetite today....

Gonna survive on protein shakes and juice and some fried beancurd skin chicken,..dun feel like eating rice or wad...

JUICE!!!

Apple juice and carrot!

Done with breakfast!

1 packet of korean seaweed....1 plate of chicken rice...half a plate of economic noodles and egg and ended with ice milo. Issit too much for breakfast?? LOL considering the fact i slept for 14 hours...hahahahahaa...

NOOOO!! stiff neck is back...

Now my right side of my neck is like crap....So painful..can't even move my neck freely...well..I slept for a long long time today..from 6pm yesterday till now. woke up a few times to go to the toilet as usual..especially after eating the watermelon..yumz! I am having achy joints today...all my knuckles, neck, knees are all damn achy..like as if i did 5 hours of exercise on each knuckle..well...i'm still tired..so i'm just gonna lie down for a while more...

Stiff neck is better!

I took a bath...and ran my neck under quite warm water...I guess the warmth loosen up the muscles and nerves and now I AM FEELING BETTER!! The right side is still a bit painful tho...but at least I feel better...putting ammeltz yoko yoko..for stuff shoulders and muscular aches....its more of cooling effect tho...

After lunch..I AM STILL THIRSTY!!

I had my rice...my corn soup...my broccoli and carrots and a few pieces of watermelon...I am still thirsty...

I have no idea why but I am damn damn thirsty today....

All I feel is thirst...WHY AH?? Am i dehydrated?? Don't think so...I have been drinking a lot of water...more den what i usually drink...but why am i so thirsty....could it be something I have eaten?? Don't think so...weird...just so weird....

Mummy and baby says GOOD MORNING WORLD!

We slept at 8pm...and woke up now. But between that was toilet runs every 2 hours...Gonna have pizza for breakfast. 3 pieces of ranch chicken. Anyway...MY NECK IS KILLING ME. I can't turn properly since yesterday...its damn achy and it hurts..like i sprained it..but I wasn't doing anything weird or what...it just sprained..guess the hormones to loosen up my bones really loosen up everything...pelvic bone kinda sore also when i try to turn in bed...sharp pains....urgh..

I'm tired.....

The waves of fatigue is back after my pizza...I had 3 pieces of hawaiian pizza and 1 ranch chicken and 1/4 of a backed meat sauce lasagna...and 2 cups of coconut juice..fresh...yummy...and now i am damn thirsty..shall go drink the juice and go to sleep...tired...

I ordered A LOT of pizza!!!

ok...not a lot...2...LOL..but 2 10" pizza is a lot wad......

Tropical Hawaiian Special

Turkey ham, smoked turkey bacon, pineapple, cheddar & mozzarella cheese and our home made pizza sauce.

Ranch Style Chicken

Grilled chicken strips, turkey ham & bacon on a bed of tomatoes or yogurt sauce with green peppers, tomatoes & onions, topped with mozzarella & sharp parmesan cheese.

Baked Lasagna

Time for her daily hiccuping session!

Baby and her hiccups again...she was totally not moving...guess was her sleeping time..and when I was laying on bed on my side hugging my nice snoozer preggers pillow..she started to hiccup...And as usual she's has choosen her favourite position...the right side of the womb..

Little Miss Michaela

HER KICKS ARE KILLING ME TODAY. I dunno why but all her movements seem to hurt me...i was cooking and i dunno wad she did it hurt so bad i tot it was a contraction until i realised it was her hand...=.= and it happened so many times and all was painful...she's really running outta space i think...oh by week 35 now...my amniotic fluid should be lower already..less cushion...for her and me..AND THERE IT COMES AGAIN..OWWW...>.<

DIARRHEA!!!

Gosh....4th diarrhea of the day already....yes Michaela..I KNOW...(she kicked me damn hard)....ow.....T.T Let me check up on diarrhea...

oh....loose stools are caused by the release of prostagladin in early which causes cervical effacement, softening, etc....is can also cause diarrhea..

NO WONDER I HAVE THE SORE CERVIX AND THE DIARRHEA...

Bored....just plain bored...

I have totally nth to do...still thinking about whether I should go to northpoint to get some stuff....I am having diarrhea...but its like normal...cos its the hormones preparing the body for giving birth....On the bright side it means baby is coming soon...2 more weeks till full term!!!!!!!

I was tired and den i was awoken by this absurd incident.

I went to the kitchen to see wad the maid was up to, whether she started cooking already not..if not i was gonna help her. Turned out, she hasn't started cooking lunch and was peeling the skin off the sweet potato for the sweet potato soup my aunty. Den i casually commented that if I cooked the soup I would put the honey brown organic sugar. She shouted from the living room " DON'T LISTEN TO HER, PUT THE WHITE SUGAR. DUN LISTEN TO HER. IGNORE WHAT SHE SAY. " WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HER?! I didn't even ask the maid to put the damn brown sugar. I merely COMMENTED that i would put the brown sugar if i was the one cooking. Then i was making my way OUT of the kitchen, half pissed already...SHE STILL CONTINUE TO SAY:' DUN NEED TO LISTEN TO HER. *RAMBLE*."

IF SHE WAS NOT MY AUNTY I WOULD HAVE GONE OUT TO THE DAMN KITCHEN AND GIVE HER TIGHT SLAP ON HER BLOODY FACE. LIE DOWN THERE WATCH TV LIKE SOME PARALYSED PERSON. NOT DOING ANYTHING STILL ASK THE MAID TO DO THIS DO THAT DO THIS TO THAT. I WANNA HELP ALSO CANNOT.

And now sitting in my room, SHE'S STILL TALKING BAD BEHIND MY BACK. HELLO!?!?!?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LOUD YOU ARE? I CAN HEAR YOU FROM HERE.

That brings me to what happened a few months ago..maybe 2 months ago? This was wad happened.
Me and maid went to NEX at serangoon. I was planning to go to the ntuc to buy some stuff.. and as according to my gynae i was not allowed to carry heavy stuff cos of my low lying placenta. So my mum told the maid if i needed to shop for groceries, ask the maid along so she can help carry some stuff. That day i bot watermelon and a lot of other things enuf for 1 whole week of cooking. She gave the maid 20 over miss calls. Becos of what?? The most absurd thing: SHE WANS THE MAID TO MASSAGE HER GOD DAMN KNEE. 1st things 1st. Her knee is painful due to the soft bone diminishing..THERE IS NO WAY THAT MASSAGE CAN HELP CURE IT OR MAKE IT BETTER. My mum bot calcium pills for her...very expensive ones..did she take it? NO she didn't. instead she wanted the maid to massage. EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. It doesn't even get better. And the ointment that she uses is for nose block..not for sprains or muscle aches. So at last the maid picked up the phone..you know what she said? " HOW COME YOU GO WITH HER? NEXT TIME SHE ASK YOU TO GO SAY YOU NOT FREE. DON'T GO WITH HER. "

Again..WAD DE HELL..SO FREAKING UNREASONABLE. And my mum still say..be grateful....you have a place to live...I USED MY WEEKLY ALLOWANCE FROM MY MUM AND SPENT IT ON GROCERIES. I COOKED FOR HER AND HER FAMILY...AND WHAT DO I GET IN RETURN?? SHE DA BAO AND PACK FOOD FROM OUTSIDE AND NOBODY EATS WHAT I AND THE MAID COOK. MY MONEY. IF I COUNT..SHE OWE ME GODDAM 500 OVER BUCKS ON VEGE AND MEAT.  AT LEAST MY COUSINS APPRECIATE MY COOKING AND COMPLIMENTS IT...ALL SHE DOES IS..DA BAO AND NOT EAT WHAT I COOK. AND SAY I COOK TOO MUCH..WAD DE HELL I COOKED FOR 4 PPL...SHE DA BAO...FOR HELL YOU DA BAO FOR?!?!?!?!? DEN SAY WAD WASTE MONEY COOK SO MUCH....RIGHT...

NEVERMIND. KARMA WILL TURN BACK.

Eating curry flavoured maggi....that's the only thing left to eat...

Ending it with guava!

raspberry leaf tea

It contains a uterine tonic and, taken daily in the last six to eight weeks of pregnancy, it helps to prepare the uterine muscles for labour and thereby ease the process of childbirth. 

In a study carried out in Sydney, Australia, 192 first-time mums were given at random either a 1.2g raspberry leaf tablet or a placebo twice a day from 32 weeks of pregnancy. The herb had no harmful effects on mother or baby, and those women who had taken raspberry leaf tablets were found to have a shorter second stage of labour and a lower rate of forceps delivery (19.3 per cent versus 30.4 per cent). However, far more research is needed to confirm these results. 

It is very important not to use raspberry leaves until the last two months of pregnancy because of the stimulating effect on the uterus. Start with one cup of tea a day or one tablet and build up gradually to a maximum of four cups of tea or tablets daily. The tea can be sipped freely during labour, too. You can buy raspberry leaf tablets from health food stores. 

AND I WAS RIGHT!

I AM AWAKE!!!!Its 12 plus...Drinking my protein powder now for the baby! Some mixed berries flavour thingy...since I didn't eat much today...

My back ache is coming back...the gas is causing it i think...i press on my sides my back hurts like smt is pressing on the back ..but maybe its the baby..will see what is there to eat later if i am hungry..I just don't feel hungry..But i feel the need to eat for the baby...but I just don't feel like eating...is it even correct? My appetite was so damn good but these few days I just don't feel like eating anything...but I had to eat cos of the baby. Hopefully the protein powder is enough for her to gain her muscles today....
