Week 12

Went to see a doctor last Friday after the blood-sighting. The ultrasound showed baby is okay, in fact, at one point we could see the baby turning and showing his/her back at us. Felt warm all over.

Only the placenta seems to be a bit too low. Too early to declare placenta praevia though. There is still high probability that as it grows it will move upwards. But this low lying placenta could be the reason i bled last week.

Doctor prescribes bed rest for a week. AS IF that's even possible! But i am slowing down, i stay seated most of the time and i dont run anymore.

Week 11++

Dearest Baby,

i discover some staining today. Saw the red tinge in the toilet bowl this morning but shrugged it off, thinking that maybe my eyes were doing tricks or it was just the bad lighting. But later in the afternoon - a good many hours after the stain i thought i saw, there it was again, worse than mere stains, i saw some clots.

Please please please be okay in there.

i am going to the clinic afterwards. Hopefully the doctor will tell me that it is nothing to be alarmed about and you are fine and happy inside in the comfort of my womb.

Please please please be okay.

Week 11+

Maybe i should change my script (or lies, if you must). I think I look 6-month ahead, so potruded is my belly now.

I am feeling a whole lot better now. I can start wearing maternity dresses. And because of the fact that i dont have waist of trousers or sarungs or skirts around my belly, i can eat better now (which explains, the 6-month sized belly i have). i am so very huge now i wonder how am i ever going to shed off the excess later! Groan!!

Tiga is really acting up. She cries hysterically over the smallest matters. Only later to justify that the crying is only because she is THE baby in the family. Sigh.... my poor baby.

Week 11

I am getting there, approaching the second trimester.

The morning sickness has subsided, not entirely but i have more and more good days in between episodes of face-in-toilet-bowl.

i am beginning to show too. Too early i know so most of the time, when asked how far ahead was i, i would say '3 months +'. Makes me appear less fat, if that's possible.
