Done at poli on 29/10/09. My due date is approaching....
Urine test : normal
Blood pressure : 110/70
Weight : 56.4kg (weight has stopped increasing because i'm about to deliver)
Baby's heart beating at 149bpm.
Nurse confirmed baby's head already positioned at my pelvic causing uncomfortable and reminding me on all the possible labor sign:
~Bleeding/ brownish discharge which looks similar to period end.
~Water breakage with big amount and uncontrollable. Usually is clear, but have to pay attention during labor if it is greenish or brownish, because that means there's baby excrement.
~Rhythmic contractions about 5 mins once.
Other than that, i'm being advised to continue on baby's kick count to ensure baby's movement until delivery.
Further appointment would be a day after my due date if i still yet to deliver.
Well, i hope this would be my last pregnancy check, i can't wait to meet my girl.

My 3rd trimester
Since 3rd trimester started, i felt myself get tired easily, feeling sleepy always. Even though i have make sure myself had enough rest, take a nap in the afternoon, but sometimes that don't really help, still feeling tired. . Well, i know it's due to hormones change, nothing much can be done.
Having a good night sleep seems to be more and more difficult because i tend to wake up many times at night for urine even though i didn't increased fluid intake. Maximum would be 5 times a night, really got me crazy.
Also, i noticed myslf having edema, a very minimal one at my legs. Dr said that's fine since my urine and blood test are normal.
I noticed my tummy is "hard" always and limiting my movements even more. Also, baby's movements seems to reduce during daytime. When i'm in doubt of whether my baby is doing well, i'll massage my tummy with my hand. My girl will always response with little movements. ;p
@ 39 weeks...
Feeling more and more uncomfortable at my tummy, lower abdomen, pelvic as well as my lower back. Nurse at the poli confirmed my baby has positioned at mt pelvic causing the uncomfort, but they are hard to predict when i'll give birth.
Anyway, i'm ready to meet my girl....
As my baby growing bigger and leaving limited space in my tummy, i found myself having breathing difficulty especially when i lie down or after meal. Achiness at my lower abdomen and lower back, leg cramp since end of 2nd trimester continues. Besides, my lower chest bone, stomach and other part in my tummy also experienced achiness. I even feel numbness at my fingers. Luckily, all that usually happened at night, when i am about to sleep or sometimes during sleep. But because of that i tend to spend longer time to fall asleep and easily awaken.
On the other hand, my stomach starts getting gassy again. Am always burping loudly especially after meals. Also, i have to control myself not to eat full because of heartburn and breathing difficulty. Else, i'll feel uncomfortable.
My baby continue moving actively. But there are times which make me anxious, when she's moving softly and i don't really sure whether she's moving. For that, i'll hit my tummy softly and wait for her reaction. She'll response by kicking or some movements. That's really cute.
Starting mid 3rd trimester, i had to wake up at least twice at night for urine. That's really annoying. I already had to spend longer times getting the most comfortable position to fall asleep, and yet have to wake up 2 times. Besides, i had to spend longer time for 'defecate'.
My baby is hiccupping!! I had feel that 3-4 times a day since mid 2nd trimester actually. It feels like my baby kicking softly rhythmically. I thought my girl is playing inside my tummy. Until i read a pregnancy weekly newsletter, then only i know it is her, hiccupping. According to the newsletter, it's normal and shows a sign of good health. :)
Someday during mid 3rd trimester, i feel myself having contraction, not frequent, once in a while like 2-3 times in a day. Check with gynea and nurse, it's normal. The causes maybe hungry, tiredness, mood or etc. As long as it's not frequent and continuously, nothing to be worry, but i had to get more rest. It maybe a sign that i may deliver earlier before EDD. Therefore, they want me to be careful on it's frequency. If it's more than 4 times in an hour, i'll have to go to hospital.
@ 36weeks...
My tummy getting lower, pressuring my pelvic and lower abdomen. I have to urinate more often especially at night, else it'll caused pain at my lower abdomen. But i felt my stomach, lung and chest bone at ease. On the other hand, as i felt my tummy getting more and more heavy, my steps also getting heavier. I can't stand and walk for long even sit also cannot stay at same position for long.
I no longer be able to see my belly button and those ugly stretch marks has appeared. Hopefully, they'll gone after labor.
Every evening my tummy will get really hard, feeling like my tummy going to explode from inside and causing me hard in walking even sit. Sometimes causing pain at my lower back and lower abdomen. Glad that it'll soften in the morning, at least i'm comfortable during the day.
@ 37weeks ...
During check up, Dr told me that my baby has reached 3kg. No wonder, as the space in my tummy become more limited, i started feel pain again when i lie down. Feel like something heavy in my tummy and i had to sleep at my side, left side mostly. Because, baby's legs are on my right side, sometimes they will press on my chest bone causing pain if i sleep on right side.
@ 38 weeks...Having a good night sleep seems to be more and more difficult because i tend to wake up many times at night for urine even though i didn't increased fluid intake. Maximum would be 5 times a night, really got me crazy.
Also, i noticed myslf having edema, a very minimal one at my legs. Dr said that's fine since my urine and blood test are normal.
Since my baby is growing bigger, my waistline has reached 39inches @38weeks, but my weight no longer increasing. I have grown a total of 13kg. Dr said my baby is about 3kg and i guessed the amniotic fluid is about another 3kg. So the rest weight would be mine??? My god!!! That's about 7kg!! ***wanna faint@_@***
The contractions (Braxton Hicks) also getting more frequent, about few times a day. Besides, vaginal discharge also seems to increase. I know all that's normal but it makes me tension since my baby is full term, could comes anytime. Because i don't really sure is it true "the time has comes" especially when i feel pain at my tummy. I'm so blur with those fake signs.I noticed my tummy is "hard" always and limiting my movements even more. Also, baby's movements seems to reduce during daytime. When i'm in doubt of whether my baby is doing well, i'll massage my tummy with my hand. My girl will always response with little movements. ;p

18th & 19th pregnancy check up (38weeks+)..
Done on 22/10 at the poli, like any other simple routine check to make sure me and baby are ok.
Urine test : normal
Blood pressure : 110/60
Weight : 56kg
Baby's heart beating at 138bmp.
Basically i'm doing well beside some achiness which i was told it's normal and i have to bear it until delivery. Next appointment would be a week later on 29/10.
************************************************************
Gone to my gynea for check up on 25/10. My appointment suppose to be on 27th but i have gone there 2 days earlier.
Urine test : normal
Blood pressure : 108/71
Weight : 55.5kg (different scale from the poli, therefore has slight difference)
Baby's heart beat normal.
No scanning done since the Dr had did it during last check up 10 days ago. Asked Dr about the vaginal discharge i noticed recently, and was told it's normal if it's not bloody, not smelly and not causing itchiness. Besides, also asked about the amniotic fluid leaking which i've been wondering. There is once i didn't urine but some fluid leak during i bath, and i'm not sure whether is my fluid leaking or i can't hold my bladder. Dr told me, usually if water broke, the amount will be alot and that's a sign of labor, but there is possibility of it leaking little by little. He then checked for me and confirmed my fluid is adequate so unlikely my fluid is leaking, besides, i'm only having it once and not continuously. Thank god, i'm fine, perhaps too tension while awaiting my girl.... :)

3rd follow up check up at GH Muar (37weeks6days)
Done on 19th Oct morning. It was tiring. Tiring because of waiting. I spend 2 hours waiting for my turn. It was a really simple check up done by training dr. **Sigh...**
Urine test : normal
Blood pressure : 121/66
Weight : 56kg (same with last follow up done 3 weeks ago, so my weight didn't increased anymore)
Baby's heart beat normal.
Being reminded to do baby kick count and if found the kicks reduced, have to admit to hospital. Also, if feeling pain, having discharge or amniotic fluid leaking.
Next appointment would be 2 weeks later ie 1 day before my EDD.
After this check up, i have made up my mind to go "private" for delivery, because it's faster and more profession. I don't wished to be waiting while i'm having labor pain. That'll be suffer i think...

用手帕或小方巾包住用过的冷茶袋，敷在眼睛5分钟，能迅速消除{眼部浮肿、疲劳}，应为茶叶的单宁酸是天然的收敛剂。

[小叮咛]吃金吉前后1小时，不能喝牛奶。因为牛奶中的蛋白质遇到金吉中的果酸会凝固，不易被肠胃消化吸收，并造成腹胀。饭前或空腹也不宜多吃金吉，因金吉中的有机酸会刺激胃壁黏膜，产生不适。
医生提醒“以上方法只是暂缓不适”，如果使用后症状未减缓，一定要就医，对症下药。

16th & 17th pregnancy check up..
Done the 16th routine check on 13/10/09 at the poli. Since the weekly check has started, the check up was simple, merely to confirm i am doing well before EDD.
Urine test : normal
Blood pressure : 110/70
Weight : 56kg (the nurse should have read the scale wrongly, because when i peek at the scale it shows 55.6kg ie. my weight didn't increased since last week.)
Baby's heart beat normal.
My MGTT result is ok, so nothing to be worried. The nurse reminded me to be careful and directly admit to hospital if i have "labor sign".
*************************************************************
Had the routine check at private gynea on 16/10/09. Am busy with these routine check lately because am checking at 3 different places : private gynea, GH Muar as well as GH poli. Checking at the private gynea because is more detailed and done by experienced gynea, had to go GH because admitted before and the poli because i might choose to deliver at GH ie. they need the record (haha...till now still haven't decided where i want to deliver my baby ;p)
Urine test : normal
Blood pressure : 118/68
Weight : 55.5kg (so, confirmed my weight did not increased since earlier this month. Anyway, as long i am healthy.)
Dr did a scan for me. He confirmed my baby has dropped and is doing well. Surprisingly, he told me my baby has reached the weight of 3kg. So, my baby isn't small but i wonder why my weight did not increased at all. Then, the Dr asked me to maintain my eating habit and not to increase the meal.
When we were done,
the assisting nurse suddenly said : Your baby's hair is quite long hor.
me : Har ? Where? How you know?
With smile she pointed at the monitor showing some hair.
They are more than an inch long....standing on my little girl's head ;)

14th & 15th pregnancy check up..
14th check up was done on 2nd Oct at private gynea. It's a really simple check up because i have just done the scanning at Muar GH few days ago.
Urine test : normal
Blood pressure : 117/65
Weight : 55.5kg ( didn't increased at all since weighted at GH....??? anyway, should be the scale problem...different type of scale different reading...)
Baby's heart beat normal.
Dr confirmed that my baby has get down, thats why i'm feeling pressure at my lower abdomen. Again, the Dr reminded me, i might deliver earlier. However earlier, he can't confirmed. But, he asked me not to worry too much, everything should be fine, just admit to hospital when the time comes. (Darling, don't be too early, daddy might not be back yet if you are due too early... :} )
*************************************************************
Went to GH poli for routine check on 5th Oct afternoon. This is the 3rd time hubby company me for pregnancy check up. The last 2 times was at Hongkong and China during my 1st trimester.
Urine test : normal
Blood pressure : 110/70
Hb : 11.6
Weight : 55.6kg
Baby's heart beating at 135 bpm.
Dr did a scan for me. She didn't measure baby's size since the measurement has just done at GH a week ago. She just confirmed my baby is doing well. Also, telling hubby which is baby's head, heart, and etc. I'm glad hubby has the chance to see how our baby looks like in my tummy before i deliver (The last 2 times, our baby still hasn't developed :} ).
Due to my pregnancy history, GH Dr advised the nurse in poli to do a Maternal Glucose Tolerance Test (MGTT) for me. It is to determine the risk of having pregnancy diabetes. Therefore, i have to be back to the poli the next day morning for the test. The nurse requested me to fast from 10.00pm that night and can't take any breakfast the next morning.
6th Oct early in the morning, after the nurse taking the 1st blood sample, she gave me a cup of sugar water consists of 75gm sugar. The taste is really awful and i was told to finish it within 5 mins. Then, the nurse allowed me to go home for rest and be back at the poli after 2 hrs for 2nd blood sample. Within the 2 hrs i still can't had any food besides plain water. The 2 hrs was a hard time. Am really uncomfortable after drinking the sugar water. I felt blur and my stomach was spinning. The nurse said it's normal reaction but i am glad the feeling only happen in that 2 hrs. I wonder who actually originate this test. Anyway, it worth since it's done for me and my baby's benefit. The nurse will informed me earlier if my test have problem, otherwise they'll let me know the result on next appointment.
Since i am almost 36 weeks pregnant, from this week onwards, my routine check will be once a week.
Urine test : normal
Blood pressure : 117/65
Weight : 55.5kg ( didn't increased at all since weighted at GH....??? anyway, should be the scale problem...different type of scale different reading...)

Therefore, i have to be back to the poli the next day morning for the test. The nurse requested me to fast from 10.00pm that night and can't take any breakfast the next morning.
6th Oct early in the morning, after the nurse taking the 1st blood sample, she gave me a cup of sugar water consists of 75gm sugar. The taste is really awful and i was told to finish it within 5 mins. Then, the nurse allowed me to go home for rest and be back at the poli after 2 hrs for 2nd blood sample. Within the 2 hrs i still can't had any food besides plain water. The 2 hrs was a hard time. Am really uncomfortable after drinking the sugar water. I felt blur and my stomach was spinning. The nurse said it's normal reaction but i am glad the feeling only happen in that 2 hrs. I wonder who actually originate this test. Anyway, it worth since it's done for me and my baby's benefit. The nurse will informed me earlier if my test have problem, otherwise they'll let me know the result on next appointment.
Since i am almost 36 weeks pregnant, from this week onwards, my routine check will be once a week.

月亮圆。。
跟端午一样，有好多年没在家里过中秋，吃家乡的月饼。前两年都是在深圳过的，并不怎么特别。今年应为怀孕，在家养胎，终于有机会吃到家乡的月饼。人在他乡，无论如何月亮都是家乡的圆，月饼也一定是家乡的好吃。其实因为不嗜甜，我并不怎么爱吃月饼，但今年却吃了好多。或许肚里的宝宝爱吃吧！！嘻嘻。。
今天是中秋，可惜麻坡的天空正飘着细雨，坏了大家月空下开party赏月的机会。。小孩也没法在月亮下提灯笼，真可惜。。时间还早，希望雨能快快停下，圆了大家中秋赏月的机会。。
中秋快乐！！
2nd follow up check up at GH Muar
Done on 28th Sept 2009.
Urine test : normal
Blood pressure : 125/71
Weight : 55.5kg
Baby's heart beat normal.
The Dr who check for my tummy's height manually told me, my baby seems smaller. Well, i have actually knew from my gynea during last routine check. So, i dont really feel worry.
A scan was done by another Dr. I asked him about my baby's size. He told me, she's only slightly smaller and i'm only 34 weeks + pregnant. Then, he told me my baby's weight is 2.3kg (hm...she has grown heavier :) and that's normal.
The next follow up is on 19th Oct, i'm about 38 weeks by the time.

Since 2006...
....1st October.
3 years, i'm officially Mrs Lee. Time flies. It isn't a short period, not long enough either. But if i didn't really count, i didn't realised i have actually become a "Mrs" for 3 years. Most probably half of the time, i'm living apart with my darling hubby.
Same as last 2 years, hubby is back to Malaysia and we don't have any celebration. The difference is, we are apart on the day. He is back in Penang, his hometown, while i'm at Muar with my unborn girl.
I'm actually looking forward for our 5th, 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th........years.
My anniversary wishes : My little girl due on time healthily.....our love last forever....
