First Trimester is finally over and the start of Second Trimester

YAY!!! HURRAY!!!! My morning sickness is finally better at week 14 day 1 HAHAHA

like i no longer have to vomit after every meal. but i mean if i want i could? just that now i have a choice haha

First trimester is really difficult. didn't know growing a baby could be so tough.

Went to KKH just now to see the doctor regarding my OSCAR test (FTS). KKH will always recommend mothers to do the FTS first without the NIPT cause u get to scan and see the structural parts of the body to see if he/she is normal. Only when u belong to the higher risk group, then they will recommend the NIPT. However, if you choose to do the NIPT, they will ask u to do both the FTS and the NIPT together. of course NIPT is more accurate lah but also more expensive and without subsidy.

Anyway, so we went with the FTS and thank God! ALL IS WELL :) oh and you don't know the gender until week 20 if u arent doing the NIPT. but honestly, regardless whether the child is a boy or girl, you're still gonna love ur baby SO SO SO SO much. cause 1. trying to conceive (TTC) is already so difficult! like it's not a u think you want now, u get now leh. to me, it's really a blessing from God and a miracle in itself to be pregnant. Also, it's a sacred task given to you and your husband, to bring up the child well and teach them how to be a decent human being.

Tomorrow will be Week 15 yay! oh and i heard the baby's heartbeat again today AWWWW

hmm, honestly having a baby is so expensive hahaha besides the medical bills, you still got to think of the pram/car seat, baby cot, milk bottles, confinement nanny (at least 3k!), which hospital (private or public) etc etc etc etc

First trimester

yay! i'm now at week 12 and 2 more days i'll be entering week 13. Soon it will be the end of the first trimester.

first trimester is really tough for me! I feel sick everyday the moment i'm out of bed. Nauseous and the lack of appetite. i can only eat rice with soup and even with that, i'll vomit the food out. I'm just tired and restless. Feels kinda sad but the only comfort is that, the baby is growing well. hahaha
Knowing it's not easy and it's also something that i got to go through inevitably, i was just waiting for the day to pass.

At week 11, i started to feel a little better! more energy and i thought i can finally stop vomiting.. nahh bloatedness started to creep in. and my stomach can be as big as a balloon. i applied ru yi oil everyday, it really helps! so far so good! oh and i suffers from heartburn as well

week 12, i do feel more energetic but i'm still vomiting like 3-4 times a day. i feel that the food are like stones in my stomach or throat, i need to vomit to get it out. sucky feeling but what to do?
I'm also supposed to take the obimin multivitamins from week 12 onwards. this pill causes constipation! now i can only do it like once every 2 days. and the stools are black! (i wonder why) i googled they said it might be due to the iron in the pill

going to week 13 in 2 days (can't wait) going for my scans at week 13, gonna do the oscars. Pray that the Lord will bless and protect this baby. Pastor said the mother's emotions are really important as the baby can feel it too. AMAZING.

Dear Baby,

Mummy loves you a lot ok. Regardless which gender you are, i will love you and i pray that you will grow up well and healthy and be a good kid ok. Grow up well and may you have a real relationship with God too!

Love,
Mummy
