Pregnancy Update (Mommy’s Journal)

Still remember when I did my post-natal check up with the gynae early this year, doctor told me that my ovaries was full of cysts again (due to my PCOS problem) and no chance I can conceive without any treatment. This time we won’t really upset with the news knowing that all these are in God’s hands. Nothing we can do if it is not in His will. We already so happy to have a miracle blessing of Esrene from Him!

Really praise God for His faithfulness and blessing with another miracle life no long after the check up.

Pregnancy this time round is tougher. Morning sickness is worse. Maxolon (anti nausea pills) that I took during my 1st pregnancy no long works this time. Nausea and vomit which later leads to acid reflux was terrible. Having to take care of a young toddler while struggled with morning sickness (MS) was worse! Esrene was upset because I could not pay much attention to her due to the sickness. Because of the terrible MS, I even felt a bit depress and hate my pregnancy!

Thank God for a very supportive and helpful husband who take over my roles to take care of Esrene when he comes back from work and during weekend. Bathing, feeding, changing, cooking for Esrene and even helping me do most of the housework while letting me take as much rest as possible. That’s exactly what I need the most that time. Thanks dar for being such a great hubby and father!!

During my 13 weeks check up, one of the obstetrician who examine me prescribed me with this amazing anti nausea pills called “Zofran Zydis Wafer” which is as thin as wafer that melt on the tongue within an second and works within a second too to stop the nausea and the vomit of course. Doc told me these are the “superior” pills prescribed when maxolon is not working. It really saved my day and make me feel “more like human”. I can start attending to Esrene and do some stuffs at home after the pill. Too bad I was introduced with the pill close to the end of my morning sickness. A lot of friends I know are very sceptical about anti nausea pills during pregnancy. To me, after gone through 2 bad morning sickness, if the pills are tested safe for pregnancy and can make me more sane, let me able to enjoy my pregnancy more and my time with my family during pregnancy, why not?!

24 weeks now, we thank God for His continuous protection upon the baby. The baby is growing well in the womb. We keep telling Esrene there’s a baby in mummy’s tummy. Now then she sees my bump she will touch and said “bubba”. Every morning and before sleep we will ask her to say “hi” or “bye” to baby and give baby a kiss. She is doing very well with it now. When she heard the heart beat of the baby during my check up she will respond with “wah!!!”. We really hope when her sibling comes out she will be a loving sister, not feeling jealous at all.

As the baby continue to grow bigger each day, doing house work and attend to Esrene is getting harder, especially when I have to blend down. Too much of blending and squatting cause some backache in me now, or maybe I am getting older? mmm….

Here’s the photos of our little Jewel during 18 weeks scan.

Baby curving both legs up towards the chest

Close look of the face, looks like a very sharp nose

The ultrasound specialist did a 3D scan to see the little Jewel for us but somehow it wasn’t record in the DVD she passed to us, disappointed!!!

Yes, a little Jewel!! Daddy loves girls. Now he got a little princess and a little jewel to “manja” with him!
