at 17 weeks and going..


wow! i can see my tammy growing and growing... heheh, i noticed also a bit of black line in my pelvic area and thought its a stretchmark, hindi naman pala they call it "linea nigra" which is normal naman... hahaha!going back to my 16th week, i was so anxious in choosing who's OB and where to give birth here... true enough, dr. heng ung super sikat na doctor dito sa east shore and mt alvernia is ALWAYS fully booked! so i only have 2 remaining doctors to choose, Dr. esther ng of east shore/mt alvernia or Dr. irene chua of TPS-KK hospital. i ended up at Dr. chua kasi based sa reviews ang daming good reviews about her and beside, 2-3 of my ex DBS colleagues where under her and mentioned na indeed gentle and mabait... kaso i honestly didnt like to give birth in KK due to horrible stories i read at the forum... pero checking and CALCULATING the difference beyween a PRIVATE and GOVT hospital is WAY big! and besides, TPS is more like a Private Suite ng KK so pwede na din hahaha...

when we were at our appointment it took din around 1 hour bago natapos lahat ng tests and consultation with the doctor.. we thought we would be able to know the gender or the baby pero sadly... nakaface down sya and closed legs... waaah! nagpasuspense si baby!... so awesome! iba talaga ang gift ni God kasi parang nun lang super liit na tadpole lang nya this time may mga forms na hehehe... sana naman all the blood tests i took will result as negative... next test we will be taking after a month will be adc... i am not really sure what it is but i think its more of checking if the baby's health, heart doesnt have hole... tama bako? oh well, let me research again! my hubby also has to take HIV screen test din... unfair nga naman kung ako lang... hehehe...i gained 2.5Kg for 1 month and oh no talaga! i should maintain or at least 1-2 KG lang otherwise... i dont want to go thru CS! :(

here is the picture of our baby!

heartburn/wind in stomach at 13 weeks and 4 days..

I woke up yesterday feeling so tired and bloated. i cant understand what is really happening to me, i feel the sharp pain at the upper part and at the rear right side of my stomach till today. this morning, i really cant help it anymore... i asked my boss if its ok for me to go to the clinic as though i eat i still feel the pain.. hayzz. just I had a consultation with General specialist and said this is normal...
:( so ganun? titiisin ko nalang?? hayyz... the doctor has given me a medicine but of course I doubt if I can take it... nakakatakot baka mapahamak si baby... ayun siguro nga ititiis ko nalang. by the way, the doctor had asked me how is my baby and I said i think "it" is ok, i dun have any spotting except this sharp pain i feel and he asked who is my doctor... well, I do not have "literally a doctor" here in SG kasi till this date, nagdedebate pa rin kami ni pau kung san bako manganganak... i wanted to be in Mt Alvernia but he wanted me in KK... para daw matipid... well, i have the maternity benefits naman and I dont know what drags us na tipirin ang panganganak ko... so ayun na nga, going back I said to the doctor, i had check up with my OB in philippines and his face was like ? as in blank looks like hindi naniniwala na mas maayus ang sa pinas at dependent ang SG sa ultrasound... anu ba yun? ultimo sa Ob or medical practice racism pa rin??? hahaha...
