Into the 9th Week of Pregnancy

I'm nine weeks now. Everything is progressing fine except for the frequent fatigue and nausea that I'm experiencing. Well, hubby claims that I'm moody all the time. How can I not be when I have to deal with tiredness and emotion swings everyday. This first trisemester is a lot more difficult to deal with than the time when I had Lunz. I practically felt nothing back then. And I dislike fish now. I just felt like throwing up at the sight and smell of fish. However, one similarity on both pregnancies is I didn't vomit at all, which I should be counting my blessing.

I made my second check-up last Saturday. Until now, I still haven't made up my mind on which gynae to stay with. The first one I went wasn't as good because he was not very attentive and into details. We decided to try out a doctor in the newly open Columbia Asia hospital near my house. According to hubby, it's more convenient as it's just 5 mins drive from home. But, we were kinda dissapointed with the doctor after the visit. Well, he was good, he was into details, he gave us discount and he gave me 1 month of free Obimin supplement supply, which cost about 70 bucks. But he lost in terms of a doctor's image. How on earth a doctor can have long fingernails? Which he has. Does he knows what is professionalism and cleanliness? His left last fingernail was about 2cm long. How on earth is he gonna wear gloves in operating theater, especially when he has to deal with childbirth, if you know what I mean? So then, we decided to seek another doctor for my third visit, which is in April. I have 2 doctors on my mind depending on which hospital we prefer. Either Pantai Cheras or UKM Specialist. Most probably will go for Pantai Cheras.

Anyway, when the doctor did the scan for me, I was very happy to see the little tiny heart flickering on the screen.

My baby is a size of a grape (1 inch) now.


Colleagues who knows about it commented I'm showing and it's pretty obvious. I told them, I'm bloated and seriously my tummy is really big now even when I'm just only 9 weeks. Well, to avoid being obvious, I wear loose clothing to work everyday. It's not the right time to spill the beans yet although I have been confirmed at work recently. I will wait until I'm over with my first trisemester.

We will be going back to Ipoh middle of April to celebrate grandma's birthday. Then we will head on to Penang Hard Rock Hotel for a 3 days 2 nights stay. A treat from hubby's bonus. Can't wait.
