On being pregnant
« Previous EntriesA Pregnant Back
Monday, August 31st, 2009Mine to be exact.
My crazy masseuse made Tee take a picture of my pregnant back at 9 months. Yup, there sure is a lot of meat towards the bottom. I was PREGNANT!!! Her rationale was that every pregnant lady takes a picture of her big pregnant belly, how many pregnant women take a picture of [...]
The day before T2 was born
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009Tee took these photos of me and the Hubs. Actually, she was probably taking a picture of T2 as the Hubs’s face and my face has been cut out when she took the shot…..
This on the other hand was really of me and the Hubs but I’ve scratched his face out. It was a really [...]
Pregnant Belly Painting
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009For weeks, Tee had bugged me to allow me to paint my belly. The time was never right as most of the time, Mommy just didn’t feel like it. But I couldn’t disappoint her after promising her and forcing her to wait for weeks. Just before T2 came out, I finally stripped and said, “Here [...]
Looking forward to losing weight
Thursday, July 30th, 2009The time has finally come. Baby is still not out yet so Doctor says that if baby does not make an appearance within the next 48 hours, we will pull her out. YAY!!!
I am really looking forward to the month after confinement when I can start losing weight fast to feel normal again. My friend [...]
Are late pregnancy headaches normal?
Monday, July 27th, 2009I’m feeling sooooo nauseous and I’ve had this constant hangover type pressure headache for all of last week. Is this normal? I’m slowly losing control of my bowels too - yikes! Ok, sorry….too much information.
These are all signs of labour about to start. But when???
I need a massage every day but I cannot afford that. [...]
Last week of pregnancy - I hope!
Sunday, July 26th, 2009I can hardly breath anymore. I can barely move. I can hardly eat. There is no more room! I have stopped my Glucophage medication for diabetes because I no longer need it. My placenta is not producing as much sugar as it did so I’m fine eating sugar without sending my blood sugar sky-rocketing.
I have [...]
The longest wait…….
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009After eating lots of durians (don’t worry, I’ve been taking precautions to ensure that I don’t get over-heated by drinking lots of barley, eating mangosteens and drinking lots of water) AND drinking my nightly liquor; it SEEMS……..that the baby has taken a turn for the better!
What can I say?
I’m turning into an alcoholic.
I even googled [...]
Late Pregnancy Tiredness
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009You know, tiredness (and drained, fatigued, dead beat, exhausted, worn-out, bushed) are really not the appropriate words to describe what we pregnant women experience at 8 months. It is more like all those words put together and then multiplied by a thousand. With having to wake up several times a night to go pee, with [...]
A boring Sunday
Sunday, July 19th, 2009The Hubs didn’t allow me out today. *sigh*
But I had some Kahlua last night and it was HEAVEN!!! Kahlua Creme on the rocks. It bloody rocked! I’m going to have it every night now. Pity I can only have ONE shot. I swear I could down a whole bottle, it tasted soooooooo good.
So I stayed [...]
Oops! I did it again!
Saturday, July 18th, 2009Wiped out every single email on my gmail accidentally. It just makes me SO MAD, but I’ll just accept it as pregnant, frazzled brain for now. Apologies again to those who’ve taken time to comment and email and will not be getting a response now. Sorry….sorry……sorry.
The baby isn’t out yet but I have a strong [...]
Taking Pregnancy photos
Friday, July 17th, 2009I just realised that my last chance of taking any pregnant photos will have to be done within the next fortnight or before! Oh gosh! The very same thing happened with Tee, the dream of getting some beautiful professional photos documented somehow never materialised.
I’ve decided that this weekend, we shall get all dressed up and [...]
Effects of a fast maturing placenta
Thursday, July 16th, 2009I have been advised to be on bed rest today till the baby comes out. Can you visualise how long my face is right now?
Because I am diabetic, the baby’s developmental age is plus minus 2 weeks LESS than my actual pregnancy, yet she is plus minus 2 weeks LARGER than my actual pregnancy age. [...]
I have a sore BUM!
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009Only the left cheek though today……
Yesterday, I drove myself again to the hospital to get my second jab but not without first making a pit stop at TMC where they treated me like ROYALTY. They brought out the stool, chose the most wonderful packet of durian for me and offered me gloves, tissues and gave [...]
Unusual discharge is never normal in pregnancy
Monday, July 13th, 2009Following on from the period like cramps and ‘rainbow’ discharge, I called my Doctor after breakfast this morning whilst I was on my computer to inform her of my state of affairs. She was too busy with patients to come to the phone but the nurse got my message through and then ordered me to [...]
Pregnancy pain and pink discharge
Sunday, July 12th, 2009Ouch. The pain is quite unbearable sometimes. Something is poking me down there. Who wants to make bets that this baby wants to come out sooner than she is meant to? My entire gut tells me she wants to come out.
I’ve been having a lot of wetness - is this normal? And then lately, the [...]
Early postnatal blues
Thursday, July 9th, 2009Yesterday, I was curled up into a little ball on my bed and stayed in bed all day. I did not get up to make Tee’s breakfast nor tie her hair nor get her dressed. We have a helper for that now but even then, I still like doing it. But not yesterday.
I stayed in [...]
Pregnancy cramps at 35 weeks
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009They feel just like period cramps – tres horribles……a dull uncomfortable backache with lower abdominal discomfort and intermittent pain spasms off and on, without any regularity. I suppose this is what they call Braxton Hicks contractions. I never had them with Tee at all (who refused to come out until she was forced to be [...]
Pregnancy Clumsiness and Madness
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009Did I tell you how forgetful and clumsy I am in this pregnancy? I am now 8 months pregnant and things are getting worse by the micro-millisecond. Yesterday, I deleted every single gmail email I had in my inbox. Every single one of them. Whoosh! They were all gone. I hadn’t even finished opening up [...]
Sleepy Pregnancy Massage
Sunday, June 28th, 2009Last night, I begged the Hubs to give me an oil rub as I was so stressed from the lack of sleep. The Hubs, the love of my life, obliged. Well, under duress, as I had threatened to hump him had he hesitated for a second. And believe me, it is no fun being humped [...]
Nirvana Banana Leaf Rice Bangsar
Friday, June 26th, 2009This place is always busy. Always!!! Located beside AmBank on Jalan Telawi Tiga, this famous banana leaf place was recently featured on NTV7 and I’ve always had a good relationship with it. The food is good enough and service is friendly. What more, it is located nearby in Bangsar.
Unfortunately, they did not have any nasi [...]
A pregnant belly
Friday, June 26th, 2009Tee took this picture thus it’s slight blurness but I just wanted to show you how big the belly is that you can see my dress rest on it. Can you see the curve just below my boobs? I am ROUND!!! Even my face has gone ROUND, like the MOON!!!

Forgetfulness in Pregnancy
Friday, June 26th, 2009Would you like to win some US dollars? Then hurry on to my little competition for some good, clean fun.
***********************************
Today, I forgot to bring Tee’s piano bag filled with all her piano books to her piano class. For the whole day the day before, I kept telling myself that I couldn’t forget her bag. I [...]
A rough pregnant day of words
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009I cannot stress how horrible yesterday was for me. My body just felt like it was about to tear apart. I tried having an afternoon nap with Tee around and usually she is very good if I turn the TV on or if she is focused on playing with something, like her doll house. She [...]
Late pregnancy blahs……
Monday, June 22nd, 2009I feel blah……
Totally blah……
I cannot sleep at night. No position is comfortable enough. I have to manipulate this whale body out of bed five times a night (taking a whole 15 minutes each time) just to go to the bathroom to pee. And it’s so darn hot every minute of the day. I am irritable, [...]
7 more weeks before delivery
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009If I’m unlucky. Otherwise sooner, yay!
Yesterday, I told my Doctor that I was always starving and that I was going to die soon. Oh and before I forget, thank you for all your well wishes to my butt, I mean gut. All is well now. But I would still never recommend that place to anyone.
I [...]
