As my Hubby is driving me home right now I thought I would just pen down my preggy syndrome thus far...
I just visited my gynae and she did something that was out of my expectation (I have been well prepared with my constant research on what to expect in my pregnancy weeks - so u know). As I lie on my back for the usual check up, she came to my belly and started holding it with both hands and pressed it down! I was like whooaaa!! Slow down doc! I though she could be crushing the baby but I was just overly worried for nothing. She explained that she wanted to feel the baby's head to see where his currect position is. And the good news is that the baby's head has moved towards my pelvis! So according to my doc, it's anytime now!!
What I need to watch out in these few days/weeks:-
a) if there's any bloody discharge
b) water leaking
c) contractions - my belly will become rock solid when it happens
Today's check-up included a swab test too (which is norm at this stage). It's a papsmear test in case you are wondering. Rm70 for this to be done. Plus the weekly consultation rm90 per visit (for less than 10min chatting) gynaecologist can really earn big bucks! Boy, being
pregnant is really expensive. Why did I study law instead of medicine? Hmm...
Anyways, my belly is getting heavier everday and walking seems to take alot more effort now. Couple with the on and off Braxton hicks I'm getting, this little munchkin is like trying to me, "I wanna get out!"
Yes, my darling.., mummy n daddy are waiting for your arrival too :)

Pregnancy Cramps - Horrible!
2 days ago I experienced my first terrible leg cramp in the wee hours of the morning...halfway through my wonderful sleep... That pain was excruciating! It started out by giving you a warning, it will jerk you up, then as the pain grew you'd start to do everything you can to make it go away..hysterically! I tried to straightened up my left leg (no it got worse), then push down my feet (it got even worse), pull it up (it got terribly horribly excruciatingly painful), pulling it (like how footballers do it when they have cramps) but it just didnt work! I screamed in darkness holding up my calf wishing it to be cut off! In the middle of my scream, I yanked my husband but all I could hear was...his snoring.
Just like an economic scale, once the pain reached its peak, it sored down to rest. I relaxed. But I could not sleep anymore. It was 6am then and 10 more minutes for me to wake up to get ready for work. The pain was so great that I had a hard time walking as I could still feel the soreness on my left calf. It didnt go off only until after breakfast (which was like 3 hours later)!
I heard about pregnancy cramps and such, and this type of cramps would be one that I do not wish to encounter again. Last night, it almost occured again. The warning came. But thankfully this time, I had a pillow stuffed under my legs as I sleep, so I managed to avoid the full cramp pain from happening again.
(Thanks Mary for giving me this tip! It really helps!) :D
Gosh...will the cramp happen again tonight? I really dont want it to!! Do I have to go through this for the next 4 months? =(

World Cup Fever + Preggers Syndrome + Papa's Birthday!
I am in a real sleepy mode. And I mean EXTREMELY SLEEPY MODE....zzzZzzzz....
If there is a bed next to me, I would have jumped in, close my eyes and dream away. All this is caused by the World Cup fever where England (moi team) played against Slovenia last night and I was happily celebrating their 1-0 win against the latter. Now that they are through to the next round facing Germany, I wonder what will happen next to this team. So far they have been playing terribly, Wayne Rooney not at his best and John Terry acted as if he knows how to manage his team better than his manager (he can't even manage his domestic life, let alone a whole football squad!).
Oh well, enough of WC. My new crib is amost 90% ready and it is time to get the furnitures in. We have exactly 1 month from now before the scheduled moving-in date (yes... we are moving in on July 24th!). Not just the furnitures, we haven't even purchase anything for the baby yet, although Tim and I are kinda excited with the prospect of welcoming our first child together in 4 months time!
Despite my baby bump showing quite visibly now, I have a bloated face too. And my feet...gosh I have to wear 1 size bigger as my sandals are getting tighter as the day goes by. Water retention or is it just pure fat??!! Thank goodness my arms and legs are still quite on the norm side. Mark my words: I am definitely heading straight to the slimming centre right after confinement!
Here's a chronology of my preggers symptom:-
Month 1 - 3 : Vomitting, Nausea, absolutely terrible
Month 4: Hunger
Month 5: Backache, lethargic, old-woman syndrome (the difficulty of getting up once you lie down on the bed), baby kicks
I am in my 21 weeks now. I wonder how Month 6 is like? Let's wait and see....
Oh did I mention my father celebrated his 60th birthday last Saturday? We had an awesome party (not for me that is.. I meant for the oldies haha as we set up a karaoke machine and the old folks partied away at our garden and later on we set up an old style outdoor Cinema atmosphere at our garden where we played Comedy Court on the tv where they laughed till the clock striked midnight!). What a cool way to end my father's birthday in 2010.
Happy Birthday Papa and many more years to come!
