@ 8 weeks

We went for our 1st antenatal check on 8th May. I couldn’t sleep the night before and woke up early that day. I’m scared.

We waited for about 2 hours before seeing Dr.N because she had to see her patient to deliver a baby that morning. Hubby was asleep while waiting, but i just couldn’t. I read newspaper, watched cartoon on the TV. I’m restless.

We did the vaginal scan since we won’t be able to see our baby with the stomach scan. A bit nervous at first but when i saw my baby i just smile and smile and smile and excited. Dr.N also said that my baby is doing just fine, he already has heartbeats meaning that our baby is ok inside. Pity hubby didn’t get to see the tiny heartbeat.

I asked about my absence of nausea, vomiting, superwomen smells etc and she said that i’m lucky not to be getting all those symptoms. She said that not all expecting mothers must have the classical symptoms of pregnancy to be pregnant. Sometimes people with severe vomiting will have to be admitted due to dehydration. And what is more important is that the vomiting, nausea and stuffs are not a guarantee to be certain that the baby is fine. So yeah, I understand her explanation. I should know better with my medical background but i just couldnt help it. Maybe i worry too much.

We went back to hubby’s hometown over the weekend. Later i found out that my mother-in-law didnt suffer from the classical symptoms of pregnancy when she was pregnant. Eventually, I followed her footstep  because both my sis-in-laws had the symptoms. Lucky me!!

So at the moment, i’m all ok. No nausea, no dizziness, no vomiting. I’m hungry all the time, my mood swings are horrible especially when hubby was bz with his work; i feel neglected. I dislike hubby to go outstation. I dont feel like to cook, so we eat out almost every dinner. I’m exhausted all the time. To climb 2 floors up is a tiring activity for me. I have to stop in the middle of the staircase to catch my breath. And my..my…i  gained weight fast!!  I couldnt zipped my kain baju kurung anymore. Thats scary ok. Meaning that maybe soon, i’ll have to start to shop for maternity dress.

Our next appoinment with Dr.N will be in early June.  During that time, i’ll be about 10+ weeks. Hopefully everything will be okay..InsyAllah.
