9th Week
This wk hasn't been really good for me cuz i keep hving very bad aches near the hip and it's causing me to walk funny... whenever i put my left feet to the ground, i can feel the pain.
it was so bad that i can't even get out of bed on mon. Yesterday i went to see the doc to find out wat's wrong but the doc din say anything about the pain...juz gave me some cream to apply...while reading the instructions on the cream i saw tat the cream is actually not meant for pregnant women... i'm wondering if i shd continue to use it or not...but after the first time i used it, my ache ease really alot...so i was thinking that if it ease the pain then why not continue... i mean, if really something were to happen to my baby, i'll definately gonna drag the doc in..anyway i'll juz have to wait till 8th sept to ask the doc in NUH as they are more professional.
Besides that i'm oso facing another prob...it seems like i can't stop scratching my upper torso...dunno wat's wrong... the toopid doc juz said that it might be allergy but nv tell me wat i shd do about it... wat he gave me for medication was only calamine lotion. at least, it helps relief some of the itchyness... wondering if other pregnant moms get all these sort of rubbish like me?
anyway...my baby is nw in the 9th week, i'm glad that though Colin is on course nw but still he can book out when eva they have nth to do at night... he comes and stay over at my place and gives me a backrub every night...but every morning he has to wake up early to go back to camp. kind of tiring for him to travel. so i told him if SAF lets him out after 8pm he can dun come over cuz it'll be very late for him by the time he gets here.
a little pic here for u to see wat my baby shd look like nw and wat are the developments...
This week of pregnancy the baby is about an inch in length and weighs close to a gram. The baby is becoming distinctively human in shape. The embryonic tail is disappearing and the face is more rounded. He or she now has all the major organs, muscles and nerves. Hands and feet that looked like paddles are forming fingers and toes. The pancreas and gallbladder have formed, as well as the reproductive organs, although external genitals have no noticeable male or female characteristics, yet. The baby’s tongue is developing during this week.

A small bully~
14 Aug - Colin coming back from taiwan, as if the baby knows about it...so no morning sickness. been reading up on the baby/mommy book, hoping that i'll learn something useful about it.
Colin touch down at airport ard 4.15pm but din go pick him up cuz he has to go hm unpack. Abit worried about wat my dad's reaction would be when he sees colin. When Colin came, my dad no reaction as usual. So we went on ahead to discuss wedding plans...My mom wanted to meet up wif his parents to discuss but it wasn't possible bcuz of colin's mom. Anyway it was set that the wedding will be on 18th Sept (Sun) @ my uncle's condo.
15 Aug -
No morning sickness again cuz Colin will be coming over to stay tonite...nth much really happened except that quite energitic cuz had been slping alot lately...at least i was able to wrk in the morning rather than dozing off...
16 Aug - Colin going hm today after i leave for office, as if baby knows about it...as soon as i reach the office and open the door, the sick feeling comes up...din eat anything yet so nth comes out otherwise i'll be juz wasting money...whole morning very slpy cuz din really rest well last nite. keep tossing in bed and Colin was so concerned that something might happen to me and baby. Think shdn't let him stay over so often...otherwise i sure cannot slp one...
Something for u ppl to read about...
About Carnegie Stage 19 - Most embryos at stage 19 are approximately 47-48 post-ovulatory days old(7 wks) and measure 17-20 mm in length. Distinguishing criteria for this stage include straightening of the trunk, the limbs extend nearly directly forward, toe rays are prominent, but interdigital notches have not yet appeared in the foot.

A week after confirmation
Dear all,
I'm a first time Mom and i'm super excited about my new status. This whole week has been a roller coaster ride for me and i feel that i'm totally stressed up.
I never ever thought that i'd be a Mom at such a young age(23yrs old). And true enuf, i dun think i'm quite prepared for it. It's been only 1 yr since i left school, and though i've started wrking, i'm still not financially stable. My hubby-to-be is a yr younger and he's still serving in the army. That makes our savings really difficult.
Abit about hw i find out that i was pregnant.... lets juz say i knew my body too well. My period was always regular...I meant full 28 day cycle with occassional ±1 day, due to stress. This July, my period was suppose to come on the 25th but it nv did. So as per norm, i waited for the nxt day. Still it nv came. I had a very stressful wrk so i tot maybe that was due to stress...but as the week ended and there's still no sign of it, i became worried.
On 2nd Aug, i went to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test kit. My worst fear came true. I was tested positive... I couldn't believe my eyes. I told my fren about it and we arranged to go for a visit at the clinic d nxt day.
3rd Aug - went to a clinic in Jurong East for the test again. Doc confirmed that i'm pregnant and in my 5th wk. quite thrilled but worried about breaking the news to my parents and oso my bf whois in taiwan at that moment.
4th Aug - told colin about baby. Though as much as he wanted to hv this baby, we both knew that we can't afford to keep this child. When he asked me to abort, my heart was devastated. cried more than usual. But that evening when i ask him if i could keep the baby, he promised to let his dad know and oso to seek permission. The conclusion is that i could keep my baby.
9th Aug - National day. hvn't been doing much as it's a national holiday. But the morning sickness is setting in. A pic here to show you ppl reading out there hw my baby shd look like now.
