As i'm entering the glorious 3rd trimester, i hv to tolerate these issues:
  1. The battle of the bedtime -my bedtime routine seems to be more like a battle zone than a peaceful trip from the sandman. It's hard to find a comfortable position-lying on ur back, right, left seems so wrong. There were times i wish i cud sleep upside down.
  2. Mild swollen- face, fingers, ankle. Especially in the morning and yup..thru out the day & nite i've to bear with a mild swollen digits. It's quite painful when u tried to grip on something.
  3. Frequent urination-my number 2 fave place besides the mall is the rest room. Every now and then...i'll take a trip to the rest room. My fave rest room while shopping wud be: Ikano (Level 4), the Curve (level 2), the Gardens (Level 1), Tropicana City Mall (Level 1). At nite, i've to wake up at wee hour 3-4-6 times per nite to pee, or i'm at risk wetting our bed.
  4. Butt pain or is it sciatica? I'm not sure if it is..but i'm sure i'm having pain in the butt fr too much walking. Who says walking during pregnancy is good? i got myself a pain in the ass..is it part of the delivery preparation ke?
  5. My lil one is so active [mmg sakit bile dia cube stretchy2]. Kicking, moving, rolling, stretching, elbowing all the way...except during the last scan [pandai budak kecik ni]. Owh..including hiccuping in utero [almost everyday] ....sgt cute rase budak kecik ini hiccup & kesian jugak bile dia hiccup, but there's nothing i can do because it's totally normal - only more mature fetuses hiccup in the womb because their central nervous system is adequately developed in order to allow this to happen. It is believed that the fetus breathes in amniotic fluid or drinks it. When this happens and the amniotic fluid enters and exists the fetus lungs then the diaphragm contracts and hiccups results. Fetal hiccups appear to be extremely normal and almost all moms will feel the babies hiccups at least once if not on a regular basis.
  6. Breathless - be it walking, sitting, lying..i'm short of breath.
  7. Hotness - [not that kind of hotness]..this hotness is related to temperature. There will be an increase in body temperature as the fetus radiates body heat which cause the mother feel hot. I feel hot even if i turned down the air-cond to the lowest temp [pity DH having to bear with the coldness at nite]. Serious, gile panas, i slept without nothing's on at nite. Ade jugak time2 i hv to take a bath at nite sbb terlalu panas.
  8. To date...i'm 48kg (that's an additional 13kg!!) and i'm still gaining. My father was quite worried over my weight, i overheard him talking to my mom. Ape2 tah papa ni, he's worried if i didnt lose my weight after delivery. [huhu..seram. Cemane la papa leh fikir up to that point?] However, DH didnt seem worried at all, but happy that i gained weight as much as his. Huh. I vowed to shed this weight real fast.
Now, i can understand why I always heard complaints from mommies that they longed for the pregnancy to be over as soon as possible. Well, i didnt want this pregnancy to be over just yet until the time has come. I can still bear the pain and all as for now.
