Second Pregnancy: First Trimester Update

Assalammualaikum lovelies,

Salam Ramadhan :)

Alhamdulillah, some of you might have heard that i've just delivered my second baby boo last month... I'm sorry for the lack of pregnancy updates as i'm quite busy with my work and i dont feel like writing any updates. But i did some mental notes to jot down my pregnancy updates so that i might not regret it later in life..haha :)

So here i am, trying to write with one crying baby and tantrum toddler ..sabarrrr! I should have write this earlier -___-

How did we found out?

[TMI alert]

My period was never regular since forever up until i delivered my firstborn. I got back my period after seven months postpartum. Alhamdulillah after the second cycle, i noticed that my period  cycle slowly become regular by month.The cycle length are quite longer from the normal 28-30 days cycle length. But as long as they regular, i'm a happy mama!

Early September 2015, i was feeling a bit off for the whole week. My period was a few days late. But i didnt think much of it as it happened during my last cycle as well. Aidan was sick on and off for almost two weeks by then.On 11/9/15 morning, Aidan's temperature went quite high, so we decided to bring him to the Bagan Specialist Hospital, Penang, and unfortunately he was admited due to Influenza virus. [stay with me guys, still long way to go]

On 12/9/15 morning at the hospital,  I have the urge to take my home UPT test. I brought it in my bag, just in case. To my surprise, i got two strong lines!! You know what thats means, right? I told  Mr .Hubs about it, but i just cant remember his reaction at that particular time..hmmm..not that it's important,right (*roll eyes*)!! On 13/9/15 morning i took home UPT again just to make sure, and we got the same result again ..yeay! Before Aidan's discharged paper ready from the hospital, i decided to give Dr Jason (O&G) a visit (downstairs). After we did the ultrasound thingy, he said i was just around 4 weeks pregnant as he could only saw a small black dot. Alhamdulillah. And thats how we found out :)


Sorry if this picture offend you..but i feel like posting it for my memory :)

Baby No.2 first ultrasound


First Trimester

The most crutial trimester phase ever! I did my pregnancy check up at Klinik Kesihatan Seberang Jaya (KK) and private clinics as well. Dont ask me why i went to both. I did that with my first pregnancy and i will do that until my last, i hope. I am that paranoid, girls! Back to the story, i went to KK around my 8 weeks.i thought everything is going to be ok, like it usually did...but unfortunately during the ultrasound, the MO said that she can only saw the sack but no baby! And the sack was only approximately 4 weeks in size.  I thought around 8 weeks, we can even see the baby's heartbeat (i was freaking out im my head)..She said to come back in two weeks time to see if there is a baby or not.Thats it! No further question asked. The MO and I were both in silence after the ultrasound...

It was the hardest two weeks of my life! I swear! I could not sleep properly the whole week just thingking about the 'what if'. By the end of the second week, we just cant wait any longer! We went to Klinik Dr Nurul,Alam Damai to get our next ultrasound. The Dr took less than a minute to find the baby's heartbeat. Allah SWT is the best planner. ALHAMDULILLAH!  We were both extremely excited more than when we first found out about the second pregnancy :-) 

But at the same time, we dont want to get way toooo excited that early. I havent feeling any morning sickness yet. Just a little bit tired than usual. I should be happy but I read that it is not a good sign,right? (I blame it on Google!)

But by around 11-12 weeks, I started to get frequent bowel movement and windy stomach. And it all started from there up until 18 weeks, I guess! (Amik ko,nak sgt morning sickness)


There was not really much difference physically in the first trimester. I'll continue my second n third trimester in my next post. Stay tuned!
