Journey till delivery

Recorded on 12 August 2013:

3rd months onwards
Oct-Nov - Not be able to eat. Each checkup with gynae, I told her have been vormitting. Her advise repeatedly was "eat small portion, eat some crackers". Did not provide medication.

Dec - Appetite returned. But still vormiting. At least have strength to move around. Lost 7kgs in total since vormitting from Sept.

Jan-Feb - Great months! Nausea subsided and appetite is good. Gained 5kg in Jan and 1 kg in Feb from 7 weeks weight. Meeting people happily and moving around with the baby inside feeling wonderful. Tummy still wasn't obvious.


March-April - The nausea returned. Doc prescribed medicine to control it.Taken when necessary. Selected date for delivery 2 May 2013. Last checkup baby measured 2.6kg. Doc asked if can delay one more week or the date in accordance to feng shui? Haha... we said no. She said "if not in a hurry, why not wait another week (I was not due)". She said baby's weight can be +-400 when deliver. She also said, it would be better if baby is out bigger so we can take care easily. What worries us and her is that the baby is -400 (is still ok according to her but if can just wait one more week).

6 May 2013 - final checkup. BB weighed 2.77kg. Doc said OK, give me your date, any date next week. I asked repeatedly, doc the weight is OK? increased so little. She didn't seem worry and replied "at least it is increasing, just feed well after delivery. It's fine." She seemed confident. So we gave her a date and booked for the OT. BTW, she is Dr Delaila from SDMC, the best gynae I would recommend to anyone.

9 May 2013 - BB was born weighing 2.53kg. Small size but passing mark. How this little person came into the world.... a miracle that popped out from my tummy... so wonderful.
