17 weeks.

My tummy has suddenly increased in size! I don't know what happened but one day when I got up in the morning, I realised that my pants became so tight. (The pants which I used to wear before I was pregnant.) I could wear this pants just 3 or 4 days ago, suddenly its so tight. Colleagues in office also mentioned that suddenly they could see my tummy clearly. Hmmm.... explosion over night?

As I will be travelling to Brisbane next month, I had asked the Gynae whether it was ok for me to fly. He did not see any problems with me flying, but will like to see me again before I fly off.

During our previous visit to the gynae, he was able to detect something on the baby and he told us that he thinks that the baby is a boy boy. He even said that he was sure 80%. With that in mind, we mentally prepared ourselves that baby is boy boy.

I believe that some of you know that there is a chinese calendar which allow us to predict the sex of the baby base one our chinese age and the month which the baby is conceived. With that calendar, it predicted that the baby was a girl girl instead of a boy boy. So when the gynae mentioned that baby is a boy boy, I was puzzled.

The twist came yesterday when I visited the gynae again. The baby was pretty cooperative and was willing to show us the sex organs. This time the doctor mentioned that he is 100% sure that its a girl! hmmm.... So is it a boy or girl????

15 Weeks

The last visit to the gynae was a reassuring one. The OSCAR test results showed that the baby is normal and he/she is growing fine in me. At that point in time, baby was around 106grams. Yes, 106 grams! hahha... That is very small isn't it?

As I had been getting dizzy spells, I asked the doctor about it and he suggested that I should check my vision again. He suspected that the glasses that I am wearing might not be suitable for me anymore. The change in vision might have resulted in the dizzy spells which I have been getting in the evening.

He was also pretty funny when I told him that I feel dizzy after taking dairy products. He just nonchalantly told me not to take dairy products and he will prescribe calcium pills for me instead. Hiaz....

I have not be gaining much weight either. I just simply gained 0.5kg in the last few weeks. However as the nausal feeling has slowly disappeared, my appetite has increase a little. I still can't eat much for dinner as the stomach is pretty bloated at the end of the day. At least I am able to stomach my entire lunch and still have room for a little more. Today, I gave my colleagues a scare when I told them that I still felt hungry after a plate of mee goreng. Hahhaa.

I still don't look pregnant at all. At the most I look like I did not exercise for a while as my tummy seems a little rounded. I doubt that people will believe that I am pregnant if they were to see me. Most of them even said that I lost weight. I hope baby is growing well.


Been having sleepless nights as well. Previously I will be knocked out by 9 or 10 pm. These few weeks I have been sleeping at 1 am or even later. Oh dear....
