A baby milestone happened today. While I was preparing her clothes and water for bath. I came back with a sight of our little princess on her tummy. Shrieked with joy and clap my hands, she laughed along with me. I rolled her back with a camera on my hand and waited for her to do it again. She just stared at me as if saying “What’s the big deal Mum?!”
We are now visiting my OB every 2 weeks for check-Up then we’ll move to a weekly visit till Baby #2 comes out. Base on last Saturday’s visit everything looks good and we are hoping to do have a normal deliver this time. I’m excited to have it the normal way this second time but scared because I really have a very low tolerance to pain. Physical: My belly is huge that I have to borrow my husband’s oversize shirt for me to use at home. The large size maternity clothes that we bought online are still a tad big for me but it’ll manage besides we only have 2 months to go. V’s Reaction: During our visit Kuya V asked the doctor if he can see the baby and get a picture of her as well. Dr. Taylor has also been kind to ask V to assist her whenever she listens to the baby’s heartbeat which makes him really happy.

Happy to report that my glucose test is normal so all the waiting that day till I get to have a proper meal was all worth it.

Entering our 6th week I experienced an on and off pain in my lower left pelvic. The sudden pain when I move would last about a minute then goes away. I’m naturally a worrier especially after giving birth to V and the worry-some me has doubled and emotions have heightened with this pregnancy. One afternoon the pain was back – a sudden stabbing pain and it lingered till late night. Immediately I sent a message to my OB and describe the pain. Her reply was “We should be worried. Please go to the City Hospital and have a scan. It could be an ectopic pregnancy” wikipedia – An ectopic pregnancy, or eccysis , is a complication of pregnancy in which the embryo implants outside the uterine cavity. If this is the case the only option was to terminate the pregnancy as it could also cause harm to the mother. I cried myself to sleep. C kept re-assuring me that everything will be alright.
