last nite one of my friends sms-ed me asking whether i wanted to go lunch with her. she's my dear friend who's going to finish her maternity leave soon and will be back to the reality a.k.a working world again next week. i quickly replied her yes! i haven't seen her for months now, even before she went to deliver, i really wonder how she looks like now. she told me she needs to groom herself thoroughly before going back to work. she's just trimmed her eye brow, has an appointment with the hair dresser on thursday and now the most important thing is to look for new clothes to wear! that's really a lot of shopping to be done...women just love it (only when they have nice figure to fit into easily).i've seen many ladies still spotting big tummy after coming back from their maternity leave. i dread that moment myself, but don't think i could help it, could i? i do not have a big frame, thank god for that, but that doesn't mean that i don't put on weight easily. eventhough my tummy is still not that visible at 4 months, i guess my butt expands faster than my tummy!!! that's the first thing people around me notice when i was confirmed pregnant. sigh...back to my lunch date later on, i'm still thinking what to eat. my friend has asked me to think about it, oh, i'm craving for japanese food as usual :P been eating sakae sushi for 2 consecutive weeks now...but i'm still not sick of it yet! another week of sakae sushi....whee!!!
i still remember the day i went for my routine pregnancy checkup at week 7. it was just another normal checkup and as usual, i prayed for my baby to be growing healthily. that would be the only words that i would want to hear from the gynae. never would i thought another good news was in store for me on that fateful day! i had always hope for a pair of twins; so that i could kill 2 birds with one stone :) but it was just merely a wish, nothing more. was i shocked? i definitely was! my heart was jumping with joy. when i regain my composure, the thought of bringing two babies into the world at one time does give me a little scare though. the diapers, the bottles, the sleepless nights, etc...and i begin to wonder, how on earth are we going to cope with 2 babies? i had no idea how it would be like but hearing my sister's daily rant, i know that whatever she faces; i would face it double. little did i know at the time that the most stressful part of having twins was already upon us...the pregnancy. this is my first pregnancy and it's going to be one very exciting journey!! i'm all geared up to enjoy this long 9 months journey already. whee!!!
a day after i was discharged from the hospital, i had an appointment with my gynae (this was supposed to be the next appointment that i had with him before my sudden admission into the hospital). guess what! my gynae said he's seeing another featus inside my womb! i wasn't very surprised indeed as i had suspected that my bleeding wasn't the normal bleeding, it was similar to that of implantation bleeding. however, i wasn't too confident when my stomach had a severe period cramp and the bleeding came later. did the second featus just implanted himself (use of noun does not indicate any gender bias here)? was that the cause of all the huh hah that got me admitted into the hospital? i was certainly very very glad that it turned out to be a happy ending afterall. well, at least at that point of time.my gynae, being a very straight forward person, told me that the second featus might be the main cause of the bleeding that i had. he wasn't too positive that it will last, looking at my condition, but all we could do was just to pray for the best. it hadn't shown any heartbeat yet, so i was still keeping my fingers crossed. hopefully in my next visit, both will be doing good. they just have to be progressing well. because mama said so :)
i was in my 6th week of pregnancy when one fine day during a working day, i had an abdomen cramp! it started after i had my lunch and boy! how it scared me out of my wits when the pain didn't subside after that. i went to the loo numerous time to check for the fearful red sign - blood, but thankfully there wasn't any. however, just before i left the office and went to the loo for the last time, to my horror, there was some red discharge! although it was some slight bleeding only, i was quite worried as that was the second time i had bleeding already. i was battling whether or not to head straight to the hospital while driving home. my watch was showing 5 something, i supposed if i headed straight to the hospital, i could still catch my gynae in time. and so i did.
my gynae did a vagina ultrasound and saw an amazing heartbeat. my last trip was just a week ago and i wasn't supposed to see him until next week. last week's scan showed only one featus with no heartbeat yet. within a week, the heartbeat shows!!! how amazing!!!
anyway, my gynae said it's quite alarming to have bleeding at this stage as i might be facing the possibility of miscarriage since the featus is not that stable yet. he suggested that i admit myself to the hospital for monitoring purposes. not again! i didn't want to admit and asked him for another alternative, like taking whatever pills that could stop the pain & the bleeding or even asked for a jab from him! he said the risk if with me if i refused to admit. such words sent shivers down my spine. in the end, i agreed but asked to be allowed home to pack.
and so i got admitted to the hospital for the second time. gosh! i'm so sick of frequenting the hospital already.
my gynae just blurted the words that i've longed to hear for so long. YOU ARE PREGNANT!!!and those three words are making a twist in my life already!
