Time of Birth: 08:18

This day finally has arrived! my dear baby who had been living in me for the past 9 months, going through thick and thin with me. We will love her dearly and will be there for her always. Lets begin your exciting journey together(:

Eighth month

My tummy has been growing bigger each day, time pass too fast, it’s the 8^th month already. Soon I will be able to see my lovely daughter. She has been very playful this few days, kicking my tummy every night. But as long as she is in good condition, I am satisfied.

Although I can’t see you, I can feel you.

Although I can’t kiss you, I already love you.

Back to normal

After a week of recovery, I made an arrangement with my gynae to determine the gender of my angel. The doctor told me…

IT’S A BABY GIRL!!!!

No matter its boy or girl, I will love them dearly. I just hope it will arrive to this world healthily.

Safe and Sound

OH MY GOD! I’m finally rid of that tumour! I can’t express just how glad and relieved I am right now. The doctor told me that the surgery was a success and my baby is fine!
I still have to stay in the hospital for further observation though, in case of post-surgery complications. But I’d do anything to keep my baby safe! So right now, I’m in the hospital recuperating and ready to be discharged in about a week’s time. Till then!

Surgery day

My surgery is scheduled at 2pm, I am really nervous. The waiting time felt like an eternity, I just hope I can get rid of the tumor as soon as possible.

Just hope everything will be smooth sailing.

May God be with me, Amen. 

A little optimistic

After many tests, the doctor confirmed that the tumor is malignant… She told me not to worry, as the tumor could be removed by laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Is it a minimal invasive method to remove adrenal tumor which will be safer for me as a pregnant woman. 

The surgery is scheduled 1 week later as we could not afford to wait anymore, it will be bad for the baby. I know this is not the time to feel depress as I need to be strong and optimistic to get through this. So my dear baby, please be strong with mommy and we shall work hard to get both of us healthy.

Ultrasound

Today I went for the ultrasound scanning, the doctor found a tumor on my adrenal gland which is causing cortisol level to be abnormally high. Tumor?! I have a tumor in me, and especially during my pregnancy.  

I will need to be admitted into the hospital for further treatment. 

Further test will be taken to confirm my condition and to decide on the suitable treatment.

I don’t wish to lose my baby, my first baby…

Bad news, bad day.

Today I have been to the hospital and collect my test report, the doctor said that my cortisol level is too high, this explain why I have gained so much weight throughout this 3 months. Doctor said I might have Cushing’s syndrome which is very abnormal in pregnant lady, however, she had arranged an ultrasound scanning for me 2 days later. I hope everything would be fine, my baby need to be fine.

Third appointment

It’s the third month with my angel sleeping inside me. I can really feel his presence inside, his heartbeat and his warmth. It feels so great to be a mom! 

I went to the hospital for my regular check up and asked the doctor about my weight gain conditions, she mentioned that its not very good, but it isn’t unusual among pregnant ladies. However, I requested for a detailed check up and want to know what exactly is the problem. I want to keep my baby as safe as possible, I need to get rid of all possible factor that might harm my baby.

She agreed, and took my blood for testing. I was told to wait for week for my result to be ready. Shall come again next week!

Fat mommy.

Oh no, I am continuing gain a lot of weight, especially around my abdominal. I don’t know whether is it normal for a pregnant woman to gain so much weight during pregnancy. I have already control my diet and have been eating on time. Having more fruit and vegetables, I have been very obedient, following the doctor’s instructions. 

Well, I know by worrying will not help much, they say pregnant lady should maintain cheerful and be in good mood always. I will ask the doctor the next time I had my check up. 

First check-up.

Today I had my first check up. Doctor said that my baby is healthy, just that I need to keep track of my diet as I gain too much weight. HAHAHA I am well fed by my husband and mother-in-law. Having nutritious soup and 4 meals per day! I guess the angel inside me has huge appetite! Well, as long as my baby is healthy, I am happy!

Worthwhile visit to the hospital.

Today, while I was trying to get myself a cup of coffee in the pantry, I was feeling giddy. The next moment I realize I was in the hospital. I FAINTED!!! Wondering why I am so excited that I faint? Because the moment I woke up I saw the doctor, she told me I am slightly anaemic.

But, what’s so good about being anaemic????

Simply because my condition is due to the presence of an angel in my body!!

Yess!! I AM PREGNANT!!!!

It is an unexplainable happiness that rushed throughout my body upon hearing that news! I wasn’t concerned about my condition but more concern about the condition of my baby. However, doctor said my baby is safe and sound inside me.

It’s an amazing day, few days ago I wasn’t feeling uptight about my late menstrual. I thought it will be another fake alarm. But who knows that it is a gift god gave to me! Tomorrow is my husband’s birthday, I want to keep the news to myself and surprise him with this news tomorrow! I am sure that it would be the most precious gift he received.

p.s. OH YES, I’M  GOING TO BE A MOTHER.

Busy life.

I had been so busy in my work over the past few months. Meetings, rushing proposals, calling clients, working day and night. I feel so stressed up, menstruation is late for a week, but I won’t give myself false hope, I know it is not because that I am pregnant.
