confinement meal


Confinement period means that pregnant women cannot eat anyhow outside after baby born into this world. During one month of my confinement period, mostly i drink hot mlio or red date and eat mostly are pork, chicken and fish, and of course veggy all cooked together with ginger to help get rid of air inside womb and clean up everything.

my mother made this black bean soup once a week only. The medicine is iron supplement that given by my gynae doctor.

Actually I do find confinement meal is more healthy and delicious than normal meal without ginger. And everyday when I have dinner meal, I eat alot of ginger with brown rice and other meat with veggy. I find myself a little werid but I really do want get back to my pre-pregnancy weight faster in no time.

confinement traditional



Yesterday my mother made this chicken plus dom wine soup for washing my womb and clean up my uterus inside. Her kinda of confinement traditional still exists till now. Amazingg....
But it was very bitter and strongly smell of dom wine taste when drank the soup after eating the 3 small pieces of chicken.

Even my mother knows that I desperately wanted to go back to my normal pre-pregnanacy weight 58-60kg and size of jean I wore last time.

After 12 days, I finally washed my hair with very hot water mixed with ginger and white rice vinegar wine together and also had hot bathe too. Before that, my hair was super oily and itchy but try not to complain this and that lah. Just want to follow my mother's sayings. I good girl okie.. :P At least got bathe with ginger and hot water everyday, not wash hair lah.

After given birth and during my confinement period, I quite got sweating too and have difficulty sleep at night.... Now trying my best to get more sleep and rest at same time - what doctor said. Quite tough on me but no choice....bear with it and 2 weeks will be over soon in no time....

1st week check-up

Today my hubby drove me and my mother who carried baby to MEH for check-up and had two appointments within one day. First one was to baby's clinic at MEH level 11 and everything was fine for baby jayden. Doctor gave me thumb-up finally. ;)) Then we went to gynae clinic level 10 for my incision and post-pregnancy check-up. I finally lose 6.6kg within the first week after given birth him. Still wanted to lose somemore weight back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I gotta to be patient with it, ya.

Then for incision, I was quite surprise that no pain when the string taken out from incision. Only feeling little itches somewhere on incision area on my abdomen and was told to take care of it.

I took out the newborn blue romper for him to wear and it fits him pretty well. I simply started to love his little soft hair style just like "beckham's hair". Very spikery heehee.. I bought blue romper last August 07 and it was a biggest damage only $8.90, retial price was $15 something at takashiaya.

Yesterday, baby jayden was a week old and he is getting alittle naughty and make so much noises. hehehe....

Defeated post natal blue - day 3

After 2 days at delivery suite on 19th to 20th November 2007 and was moved to ward single room after operation for 3 days till 23rd November 2007.

I had to endure the pain on lower abdomen and could not move anything. All I was to lie on bed and kept staring at my baby who was beside me. But walking around was the big problem to me and I had to adjust my sleeping position that was advised by the nurse there. Only when the pain was gone when I looked at baby who was still sleeping, pooping and feeding so long.

I did not dare to look at my own lower abdomen and tried not to scare myself. Also did not want to measure the length of incision on my lower abdomen. Just all I wanted to have it fully recovery before I can start running, ya. Good thing was that I defeated the post-natal blue pregnancy. It wont affect me much then.

After few hours resting on bed, I managed to move abit and abit and get up very slowly in order not to hurt my lower abdomen. Still could walk but very slow like turtle.... ops....

final labour - day 2

We did hope to have good news from Dr Lim TB that I could have a natural birth if my cervical dilatation was smooth as I expected. Not only me, my hubby had been praying very hard for everything to be smooth sailing and got it done at 5am. He could not sleep well at delivery suite and kept watching over me. In fact, my heart was aching that he did not sleep more than 8 hours so far.

At 1 - 3am, the contraction was getting worse and more painful till I could not take it longer and unable to stay calm well. I never knew the feeling of being so painful within my own skin inside. And even I screamed at my hubby gently to ask for his comfort and also adjusted my sleeping positions to avoid getting backspin pain grew. I even closed my eyes tightly to tell myself to endure it abit and abit.

Dr Lim TB came and checked and examined me regularly every 3 hours even he is only 60+ years old. Surprised? He is a great patient and effective doctor who is highly recommended by my hubby's cousin and her friends.

Then at about 4am, I could not take pains any longer and asked for pain relief jab on my right butt to control the level of contraction pain. Shall I rate the pain more than 7/10, okie. After 30 minutes, it made me giddy and lessen the pain, then I fell asleep for 2 - 4 hours. Pain relief jab only lasted 4 hours limited.

At 5am, Dr Lim TB came and inserted to check whether my cervix opened or not. Disappointed that it was still remained 1-2cm after 11 hours. I had to endure the contraction pain for straight 11 hours then. Really unexplained why it was like this.

From 6am to 12pm, it was more busier for nurses and Dr Lim TB to check on me every 2-3 hours and of course, I was expecting my cervix to open up faster and sooner. But the pain had increased even more suffering on me. The drip and syntocinon - the drug is administered via an intravenous drip inserted into a vein in my hand.

From 1pm to 3++pm, was the worst part I remembered till now and everything was not within my planning or what I expected. Still, I could not take pain any longer after the first pain-relief jab at 4am. Then at 4pm earlier, I asked for the last pain-relief jab again to control the pain. Lastly, Dr Lim TB came at about 4+ pm and again inserted inside me and found that it was still the same after the longest straight 22 hours. Then he told my hubby that I had to go for induction of labour immediately at 4++pm.

Induction may be used for women who have never shown any signs of going into labour and also a few whose waters have broken but who fail to start contracting within 24 hours.

I was told that the drip or syntocinon or cervix might not used to react on me and it was unexplained case. However, I guess I had no other choice and just hope that my baby is fine & safe during induction.

Nurse said not only me, many pregger women also go for induction for other reasons. But I think I am just luckier as I do not have any history medicine or health problems so I will have higher chance of getting speed recovery after operation as long as I am still into sports. I was told that I am only the one who could stand the pain for the straight 22 hours.


** to be continued - baby jayden arrived on 20th November 2007, just 3 days EDD earlier. **

painless contraction - day 1

Was admitted to MEH from 19th to 23rd November 2007, that was why I was MIA (missing in action) in my blog. So I will write what happened during those days in detail and date according.

I had a painless contraction for almost several hours and thought nothing wrong with it but my lower abdomen started to act up the numerous of pains till my lower pelvis could not take it longer. Then my hubby contracted my gynae doc Dr Lim TB immediately when my belly became harder and painless. Supposed to go for my gynae appointment on 20th Nov 07 but doc told us to come down instead.

Finally reached Mt Elizabeth centre and went to see my gynae doc and he checked my belly and eventually inserted his finger inside. *scream* never knew that it was very painful till my tears came out. My cervix was slightly opened and was told that it may open within 18 hours today.

Was told that I had to admission to delivery suite at MEH now. I said so soon and managed to stay calm all the way. Before we settle at admission for payment and else, we had our early dinner at delifrance cafe, paragoon at about 4 ++ pm. I ate sandwiches with egg and hot tea to increase my energy for labour in case.

Then we walked back to MEH to settle everything done and ahead to delivery suite at 5 - 6pm. When I lie on bed, nurse and my gynae doc Dr Lim TB came to examine me thoroughly and he inserted inside me to burst my water bag. Could feel the gush of water coming out and it was a huge painful. My cervical dilatation was 1cm opened then.

Firstly was the external electronic fetal monitor on my belly - is used to measure to measure the baby's heart rate and the strength of the uterine contractions.

Then, I had to stand the painful feeling that insert inside my left hand - a drip stand. Till about 10 - 11 plus am, my contraction started acting up very very painful and could not torture it. Nurse told me that drip was for to speed up the open up my cervix.

No choice, so I have to endure it. Very regular yet painful and it kept awaking me up everytimes. And nurses at suite were all very friendly and extremely patience concern about me when came to take temperature and blood pressure on me.

I was grateful with my hubby who was with me the whole day to make sure I was alright but his heart was aching to see me enduring with painful contractions for straight 6 hours constantly.

**to be continued to day 2. **

concerned symptoms & signs

I had mistaken pain contractions as a sign of real labour without given first or second thoughts. Trying not to nervous or frightened myself and immediately took pregnancy book to find out about this. Even my friends warned me to be careful as babies will pop out before 40 weeks. Also my gynae doc warned me too. haha....

Recently my hubby's friend just given born a healthy baby boy on 14th Nov 07, just 5 days earlier before her EDD.

Same for my own circle friends (2 women) also gave birth their sons on same day on 26th October 07, just 7 days before their EDD. Wondering why so many baby boys born this year? Is it another power of baby boom of the year piglet? :))

The past 2 days I simply was little fooled by this kinda of practice like braxton hicks contractions. But not frequent strong pain and it becames irregular. Before this, I thought it will be going to have a real contractions and even got my hubby to call 24-hours emergency clinic about this.

Sometimes my lower backspin got the painful and could not torture it longer for 2 - 3 hours then after that, it went away. Then next I got the stomach-pain just like having period almost 45mins to 1 hour then it fades away for half hours then it came back again. It becomes more like an irregular patterns but I wont go hospital so early unless must see the true labour.

My mother was constantly anxious and excited...she wants the first person to see my son's birth. I have given her a promise already. She had been stay with me for 2 days to watch over me and now my hubby takes turn.

Yesterday was the worst one that I had bad pain lower abdomen and back. Tried to bear with it for few hours and managed to get back to bed to gather up energy for labour time. I seem getting impatient already and waiting for my little baby to come out. Even my relatives and my hubby are too excited and happy waiting to welcome him.

Still I will pray that my delivery will be smooth sailing sooner than I expect,ya.

waiting for my d-day

hmhm...trying to say that it is not kinda of impatience or frustration. I am more like into so many mixture of expressions to show such as exciting, or emotional, or anxious or so on and cannot explain my own feeling towards it.

I do actually felt that 40 weeks being a pregnant is too long, exhausting and torture for women even it is such a joy & sweet memory & experiences. Guess different women have different experiences.

I am trying not to tense or scare myself too much but will be face big challenge with delivery process soon and hoping not to have any pain-relief. Been told my hubby that I have the biggest faith in my gynae doctor to handle the entire delivery to ensure that it is smooth sailing to bring my little baby out into this beautiful world.

Aware that most common emotion women experience at this late stage of pregnancy are impatience that they are waiting for D-day to arrive and frustration because there is no way of knowing when it will occur. By now, many women feel quite desperate to reach the end of their pregnancy, however enjoyable it has been. haha... think i sound like kinda of desperate one,ya.

Labour represents an enormous emotional and physical challenge and I suspect that many of you will be viewing it with a mixture of excitement and apprehension, since it is almost impossible to predict exactly how it will proceed and how your body will respond. As several women commented by saying that it is easier to train for marathon than for labour.

Therefore, I am actually looking forward to this new challenge soon. hope time flies very... faster than I am dreaming or waiting so long enough ;)) xoxo.......

final journey - changing body

If your baby's head has started to engage, or settle into the pelvis your bump will appear to be lying lower in your abdominal cavity. There is sometimes quite a noticeable change in your body shape and you may hear people remarking that you have "started to drop".

This does not mean that you are about to go into labour and literally drop your baby; you may still have several weeks to do. it is merely an indication that your uterus and your baby are both getting prepared for the labour ahead. As I mentioned earlier, it this is your first baby, engagement is likely to occur sooner rather than later. This is because the muscles of your uterus are tight because they have not been stretched by a previous labour and so are able to exert more pressure on the baby's head. Also, the arrangement of the pelvis bones is slightly altered after a previous vaginal delivery and this may delay engagement.

HOW YOU MAY FEEL PHYSICALLY

During these last few weeks of your pregnancy, BRAXTON HICKS' contractions will be a constant reminder of the fact that labour could start at any time. True labour contractions are much stronger and more painful, but if you are in any doubt about what you are experiencing you should always seek advice. Your doctor or midwife will encourage you to come into the maternity unit and be checked over, rather than stay at home feeling anxious. This is not the time to be ignoring abdominal pain and hoping that it will go away. Nor is it the time to worry that you cannot bother your midwife again, because you have already called her three time this weel with the same symptoms. It does not matter how many false alarms there are, it is essential that uterine pain is always investigated prompty and carefully.


However much you are trying to rest at this stage, you will probably still be feeling tired because you are unlikely to be getting enough of the continuous, uninterrupted sleep that you need to restore your mental and physical energy. Good-quality sleep involves cycles of four different stages from light sleep to deep sleep followed by REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, which is when you dream. if you are woken during any of these stages, the sleep cycle goes back to stage one when you fall asleep again. As a result, you miss out on the all-important deep sleep and REM stages and wake feeling poorly refreshed. Even if you manage to doze and sleep for quite long stretches of time, the repeated lack of good-quality sleep will mean that you become progressively more weary and exhausted.

final week 35 - 40

Just want to share something with you of an interesting and exciting part of the end pregnancy journey of nine months before little ones arrive in this world.

THE DEVELOPING BABY

It is quire a snug fit inside the uterus now. The baby is usually curled up tightly, head pointing downwards. waiting for labour to start. Movements are more limited but you will probably notice regular changes in the contours of your tummy as the baby shifts position.

Your baby continues to gain weight steadily during this final stage of pregnancy, which is almost entirely due to more fat being laid down under the skin, around the muscles and around some of the abdominal organs. The average term of baby will have a plump rounded appearance and will weigh 3 - 4kg; it is common for boys to weigh a little more than girls. Although your baby is too cramped to move freely now, you should still be able to feel movement and you may experience the odd sharp twinge as your baby throws a punch and indents the uterine wall. Remember that any sudden change in the pattern of your baby's movements needs to be investigated as a matter of urgency.

READY FOR BIRTH

The lungs are fully mature, and the baby continues to produce large quantities of cortisol to ensure that plenty of surfactant is produced in the lungs and that the transition to breathing air in the outside world goes smoothly. The heart is beating at a rate of 110-150 beats per minute. Dramatic changes will occur in the heart and circulatory system at the time of delivery when the baby takes his first breath.

HOW THE HEAD ADAPTS

Your baby's head is relatively much smaller than it was earlier on in the pregnancy, but the circumference is still as big as its abdomen. By the full term, the head remains one of the largest parts of the baby's body, so delivering it safely through the birth canal during labour is an important consideration. This is one of the reasons why the fetal skull bones do not fuse together until much later in neonatal life, Although the baby's brain needs to be protected by bone, these are quite soft compared to an adult skull and can slide over each other and overlap. This allows the head to mould to the shape of the mother's pelvis, and greatly eases the passage through the borth canal and vagina.

* most paragraphs I did not add there as it is pretty long one and dont want to tire your eyes to read this. So I only take out the interesting parts to blog here to show you how much fun the pregnancy journey even though preggers have to bear numerous of sufferings in their bodies due to hormone changes. but it is greatly worth to experience this entirely and parenthood can be more challenge and interesting of every little precious ones. *

hmhm....just to say

Today I went to MEH for my gynae appointment with my hubby and lucky we were first persons to come earlier at 1.45pm and our appoint time was at 2pm. We did not want to wait longer for our turns lah.

Surprised that the kind nurse staff there showed me the room type and charges at MEH for my d-day there. Seeing the prices compared so much different from other magazines, for eg: staff said
A) 2 days - $2,200 (natural delivery) for 2-bedded room or $2,700 (natural delivery) for single room.
OR
B) 2 days - $2,200 + $350 (for epidural) for 2-bedded room or $2,700 + $350 (for epidural) for single room.

Before we asked nurse staff about this, for other magazines wrote the different price of room type & charges, mentioned 2 days - $4300 +++ for either natural delivery or epidural for single or 2-bedded room.

When seeing this sometimes and also asked my hubby about this, we were nearly puzzled till we decided to ask our gynae doc regards this. He said the prices of MEH at magazine is not accurate and some had not updated.

We know that staying at MEH is very expensive but highly recommendation by our friend and my hubby's cousin. Lucky, we got a special package delivery price from our doc because of my cousin-in-law recommended him to us when I was just 3-4 weeks pregnant.

After scan on my baby, he assured me that baby will come out anytime from 1st November onwards. I said oh really with smile. Next talking about delivery pain-relief, doc said I look strong enough to withstand the pain to have baby out by natural birth instead of epidural. When I heard this, I really could not say anything as I do not know what kind of pain looks like during birth process.

My hubby said I can make it without any pain-relief as I am marathon runner and experienced the pain injury before. I said not really... in fact my looks can be little deceiving and probably I maybe little weak at this time. Nobody can tells lor. After given sometimes to make decision, I told him that I will decide on oxygen breather when the time of d-day comes.

Look at my mother, she never had pain-relief when she born me and eventually she said she had to bear the painful throughout the delivery process that she nearly could not take it but successful but worth experience. No wonder there is a strong bond between me and my mother.

Well, all i do pray for God to guide me and give me strength to bring my baby out safety to this world soon. I am excited to look forward to welcome him with my open arm to hug. hehe.....

We had virtual tour to MEH delivery suite, single and 2-bedded rooms and baby room, everything looks very pleasant and good service. at delivery suite, nurse there is nice enough to give us short brief and tell us what to do when d-day comes. Then at level 4, the nurse guided us to take a short look at single and 2-bedded rooms. Actually both rooms are fine and prefect nice and clean and quiet. Guess it will be more than pleasant staying there :))

In The Third Trimester



Now I am into third trimester towards to my delivery date soon. This book I am reading has never bored me and keep reading them several times to understand better of the baby development inside me. You can see how precious of little life inside you throughout the 9 months pregnancy journey.

Really think third trimester is more fun than the second trimester because can feel baby movement regularly and baby J seems like to get small attention from either me or my hubby. Baby J is really more responsive when my hubby is around with me. Especially at the numerous of nights, I could not sleep well due to baby J's "playful" movement inside me and been trying to tell him to sleep..sleep.... Yet, I smile at him and hubby when sleeping. Think I am little funny lah.

The Developing Baby: -

Subcutaneous fat helps baby to regulate its own body temperature, an essential development for life after dleivery, althought this ability is only partially acquired in the uterus, and newborn babies still lose heat very quickly. As the dat is laid down, the lanugo hair becomes sparser and soon only a few patches over the back and shoulders will remain, although the coating of white vernix will stay untill about 36 weeks. The hair on the scalp will lengthen and the eyebrows and eyelashes will become fuller. Skin creases can be seen on the hands and feet, and little fingernails and toenails are also clearly invisible.

Now that the eyelids are open, baby will start to blink and will become much more aware of difference in light. This new sense allows the baby to be more responsive to external stimuli; many mothers notice their babies has developed a distinct pattern of rest alternating with activity. The baby is also able to start focusing at this stage, although the distance is limited to about 15-20cm until after the brith.

This interesting part from the book I chose to let you know or read for your future reference.

Babydoll Smock Rocks...


I have been looking for this lovely & comfortable but yet trendy babydoll smock dress is more suitable for those who are preggers. Tried my luck to find this dress at yahoo auction or ebay or other website upon my chance. Till now seemed like no more selling this one.

Just like this style dress that has more space & free to wear this and even wont be too tight on big belly. I had seen some preggers wearing abit tight elastic short or pant with tie or something like jean with elastic rubber which is only selling at maternity shop. Think I more prefer maternity dress to those maternity jean or pant or short.

At ebay, saw one similar smock dress but the top elastic around bust area comes with some line color stitches but the branded is either Abercrombie or Hollister. I not sure which one.

Fashion Pregnant Mummies


Been browsing many celebrity mummies who wearing beautiful fashion style clothes, unlike in SG here. Nothing much can be found the smiliar ones above. Some shops at SG selling very boring & dull maternity clothes. Few designed ones suit for very mature ages (prefer not state the ages) that is definitely out for me. Few of maternity clothes I bought from Topshop or Dorothy Perkins. Sadly that I could not wear my skinny jean as my waist & hip has became bigger. *Sobbing* Kinda fainting when heard friend said maybe my baby grows big inside. Admit that I could not wait to welcome with my open both arms for my little prince baby arrival here sooner.

Recommend for new mum-to-be

First when I discovered that I am pregnant after tested confirmed by my doctor. I never forget the react I showed to my hubby. Not even a single of joy or happy. Recalled when I saw the test positive, I started crying for 2 days and unable to control my feeling & emotional at the same time. Guess it is my first time to walk into motherhood life. But it is a great blessing. My hubby started to worry about me and ended up calling my mother without let me know. Then I got few sms from my mother and she kept telling me this and that, like trying to console me.

Next then, my younger sister bought this huge Anmum Milk - pregnant women for me to drink when I was about 3-4 weeks. She said it is good to drink at early weeks of pregnancy period. So I drank it despite of dislike the taste of funny plain milk since March 2007.

The small one which was bought for by my hubby's former colleague. Not only this, also she (former colleague) is going to give birth baby twins at end of June or early of July 2007. Too excited to see her baby twins soon.


"Stimulate her senses" on top of cap... but should add "Her/Him" lah. Should I say "mummy & baby connection" or "beautiful connection with baby"?


This is taken from motherhood website proved that it is highly recommended for first time mummy to be. Drinking this well-balanced nutrition that is crucial to ensure your baby is born healthy and clinically proven to increase blood folate levels in women. True indeed as I still drinking it till now. No bluffing time, please ..hahaahaha...


Saw the Palmer's Advertisement about stretch marks for pregnancy women. I bought it at Guardian outlet and started apply it when I was second trimester. Pretty effective and no red or blue veins on my belly. *Finger crossing :))* In forum, many pregnant women using different brand of creme for stretch marks.

Pregnant women are beautiful....

When is a woman at her most beautiful?

If you are having vivid images of women stepping out of the shower in the mornings or lying on a beach in string bikinis, you need a cold shower.

If you bother to open your eyes and look beyond the clothes, you will realise that a woman is at her most beautiful when she is pregnant.

Now, before you accuse someone of having a fetish for bulging tummies, allow him/her to elaborate and explain that even medical science is on him/her side of the fence.

The facts: pregnant women have

BEAUTIFUL GLOW
Due to an increase in blood, pregnancy produces a natural glow that no amount of makeup can provide for. Basically, this is a time when she radiates pure warmth and happiness.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR
Forget about expensive shampoos or conditioners. Hair usually looks more full and lururiant from the second trimester as pregnancy hormones reduce hair loss.

BEAUTIFUL BODY
This is a time when girls grow up to be women and women blossom into Pamela Andersons. Overnight, his wife's washboard bosom suddenly fills up an extra cup size or two and she now has a cleavage. Even if she wears a long, flowing dress, men will still notice the new look.

Now you know why most fathers with expectant wives walk around with a big grin on their face.

Seriously though, someone do not think that there is a need for an expectant woman to dress any lesser if she wants to appear beautiful or to be the centre of attraction.

The reason someone is bringing this up is an unpleasant experience he had last weekend.

A woman walking down Orchard Road was pregnant and shaped like a baby whale.

Yet, that did not stop her from dressing up in a tight midriff - baring top and a mirco miniskirt that looked as if it had arrived straight from Tina Turner's wardrobe.

Jaws dropped and traffic slowed to a standstill from Wisma Atria to Takashimaya as this skimpily-clad lady waddled obliviously down the road.

Trust him (someone), it was certainly not a pretty sight. Sure, a woman wants to look sexy and desirable at any stage in her life, whether she is young or old, single or married. But when you are pregnant, please either have the decency to dress like the becoming mother that you are about to be or stay at home.

*After reading this story from someone who had encountered this incident to make me wonder who is that silly woman anyhow wear so indecent even she is pregnant herself. At least, she should wear something proper to cover her tummy to lessen the attraction from people. Or else people can be very sensitive. *

I'm Loving it....

Those pictures are for maternity clothes and not easy to find the smiliar ones in every shops, unless I order this from international. Local shops does not have this design anyway.

Visited few maternity shops and those clothes are not suitable for me and too "aunty" style with too many flowery or plains. Wanted to try on dress but I have no confidence in wearing dress and never wear dress till now.

The 2 pictures attached below I'm loving very much and very funky & fashion style with seasons designs just right for me and young mums-to-be. Since I could not find them, I ended up buying few maternity clothes from Topshop mostly and few from Dorothy Perkins. Currently, I am going to hit 4 months tomorrow.

First Trimester finally OVER

Relief was that the first trimester 0-12 weeks over finally and now I am on journey of second trimester. I did not like the moments of the first trimester.

During the first trimester, I have to face alot of suffering and bear with this and that. Till I could not take it, I will fret abit somemore. Lucky was that I am not bad-tempered like keep shouting at or throwing things or else. Just endure this as surely there was a hormones changes. And dont have strong craving on foods. Think I am on normal balanced diet but did not suffer any depression. Count myself little lucky.

Only I hate the most : -
gastric pain disturbing me somemore
backpain caused me sleep loss
constipation & heartbun
skin change - more sensitive
nausea disturbance
keep going toilet many times during night time

Used to eat but now I hate to eat: -
broccil
mushroom
fishball
hor fun
egg noddle
mee george

*not saying I am fussy eater. I didnt know that there is a taste change when come to term of pregnancy as I learnt this from my mother.*

I am looking forward to know my baby gender soon. I will be visitng gynae doctor next week Tuesday at Mt Elizabeth Medical Centre.
