Missed my period but didn't feel it is abnormal because I been traveling for the past month so just didn't bother about it. About 2 weeks later, still not here... had a very strong feeling that I could be pregnant and bought a pregnancy kit to test it out.
Yup to my surprise, it is positive. But knowing the product from this country, do make me think twice. So decide to buy another one and try, hahaha same results.
So Loong and I make an appointment to a local private hospital - Alka. And its confirmed!
My 1st Trimester in N.p
Initially I do crave for spicy food especially curry!!! So cooked curry & ate. Then not too long in 2weeks time, I couldn't stand the smell of lots of things. I thank God I did not vomit much just no appetite.
I lost a total of 4-5kg. Never have I hit below 50kg for over 13years. ( I was 50kg when I was 13yrs old)
I was simply resting in bed most of the time and didn't have much strength.
Eventhough I was weak physically, I was and am very very excited and Thanking God for this gift of life in me.
Every month I had to go for my check-up, the scans couldn't see much just a "lump" which cannot show much of the feature of the baby.
In 2012 Jan
After returning from N.p, made an appointment to KK through polyclinic in order to get subsidy. It is almost half the price so thank God for the subsidy.
The first appointment didn't allow us to have any scan but just blood test of Loong's and mine. Then about a week or two later, made another appointment to scan.
I am very excited! I saw the features of the baby and baby was very very active. That was then, we knew the baby's gender. Is a HE!!! Tears were forming in my eyes after a long time I have not seen my scan and seeing him grown and actively moving, I was touched and was grateful to God for this life and the privilege to be carrying this child in me.
Loong and I started praying for a name since we know the gender. Within 2 weeks, we both agreed on "Jayden". In Hebrew, Jayden means Thankful & Grateful. In short Jay, in Sankrit means Victorious.
My appetite grew lots more when I returned back to Singapore. I ate and ate and within a few weeks I put on to my normal weight and inches started to grow around my waist.
2nd Trimester was very smooth and had a good time traveling.
Now entering into my 3rd Trimester... about 30weeks
I weigh 61kg, 37inches big. The size and position of my pregnancy is on the lower side and smaller too. Many people are shocked to see that I am pretty small for a 3rd trimester.
Jayden is growing well, average weight. a week ago, went for a scan and check, Jayden weighs 1.4kg.
Each time I play music for him to listen, he will be dancing in me. Whenever Daddy Loong sings or even reads him a proverbs, Jayden too will be moving in me.
Last night, 19th March, he kicked me very hard for a few times ever.
Looking at the recent scan, he does look a lot more like Daddy. His nose especially, big. His lips are a little of mine and daddy's.
I look forward to see him in 1.5months time.
Jayden, Mommy and Daddy love you very much even before you are born. Eventhough is incomparable to how much God loves us even before we were in our mother's womb, but a percentage of it simply brings me the warmth and assurance of God's love for us once again through this experience.
