My New Experience

After 4 years of marriage and a relaxing trip to Bali in February..... I am finally expecting! (Alhamdulillah :) )

Throughout the 4 years I got my share of the irritating questions and advises: "are you planning?", "what are you waiting for?", "have you checked with your doctor?", " your sister's pregnancy will hopefully rub on you so that you can pregnant too" and so on. My response: "Insyaallah" and just smile. 

My husband and I were not really trying for a child during our first 2 years of marriage but we went the natural way as my periods were usually like clockwork and thus easier for me to plan. When we decided to try, I would get a little excited every time my period was a little late. In March this year, I forced myself to wait till I was 2 weeks late before I did the test. Man was I super happy to see the 2 lines that I went to buy the digital tester. I wanted a more accurate result. :D

Initially, I wanted to wait till I was about 3 months before seeing the doctor or gynae but I started getting gastric pains. My family doctor confirmed my pregnancy and gave me medicine for the gastric and nauseous. From then onward, my Merlion stage started.

Every morning I would eat the nauseous pill so that I could last my day at work without puking. Once I reached home, I would have to run to the toilet. I have always been very choosy when it comes to eating so it got worse. I couldn't eat rice much. Thankfully I could still eat western or Indian food. :D
I no longer like to drink my tea which is a good thing as I preferred milk now. Every where I went, I had to carry with a plastic bag (lucky for my husband as I had puked in his car a number of times but the plastic bags saved the day) and a couple of sweets.

At about 2 months, I went for my first check up. I was so eager to see the little one. And... edd end of November!

My little one at around 2 months.
