I just heard that a friend would most likely be induced this week. I am so disappointed. With her. Despite sharing with her about the pros of going into labour naturally (which she says she agrees with), she’s going with what her doctor says is best. Best for whom, I wonder?! 🙁 The thing is […] Read more…

Getting Ready for Baby’s Arrival
Here we go again. As I pass the 36th week of this pregnancy, I am eagerly hoping that the baby won’t be late again! But I am also trying real hard not to hold my breath over it since the last 3 babies came 5 days, 3 days and 6 days past their EDD. In order to […] Read more…
Diary of Pregnancy #7 – 36 weeks & counting
Yes we are finally at Week 36! 4 more weeks to go – hopefully! And how does it feel? Well, my back started to hurt some weeks back. But it is already a bonus coz I usually start getting lower back aches at the start of my 3rd trimester. This time round, I only started […] Read more…
Diary of Pregnancy #7 – Week 34 & counting
Today’s checkup was really fast…and boring! if I may say so. I tried to get dr to see me in 4 weeks’ time after the 32wk appt but he said no. 🙁 I was in and out of the clinic in 15 minutes! Including the time taken for the pee test, weighing, measuring of blood […] Read more…

While moaning to myself (ya, I am trying to limit my moaning to myself now – aren’t you glad? :)) about how far March seems to be and how I have to endure 7 more weeks of being pregnant at the minimum (since I tend to go over my EDD), it suddenly dawned upon me […] Read more…
Diary of Pregnancy #7 – Nauseous Again!
Week 32 Ack! I don’t believe this. I am back to feeling nauseous and bloated all over again. Why oh why??? Could it due to the cup of tea I drink every morning to pep me up? Well, I have diluted the tea to just 1 teaspoon of tea leaves vs 1 heaped tablespoon. Is the […] Read more…

Diary of Pregnancy #7 – Grumpy!
Week 32 Yep! That’s what I am – grumpy! 🙁 It seems that every little thing can and does set me off. Not very good testimony I know. Comments like : “You’re only 32 weeks? But you look soooo big!!!” “You are much bigger this time hor?” “Your baby must be very big.” Irk me […] Read more…
