IT'S A BOY!!

Had another worrisome week..that is till we went for our monthly gynae visit..

Sat went shopping with dg, his mum n sis at bugis (went kuanyin temple cox sun was kuanyin dan)...ard evening time, went toilet and realised I've been bleeding..dark brownish discharge..was scared out of my life..everything was swimming around me..had to force myself to calm down n walked back to hubby...by then my face was alrdy pale like sheet..told dg n immed we collected car and sped to KK..

p/s: the content below might not be comfy for some guys out there..

Queued for nearly 2 hrs before seeing the docat the 24 hr o&b clinic...let me tell you..what happened following further affirms my decision of "NO KK"!! the female gynae who attended to me (well, let's put it this way..she is young~ not that I have anything against young docs)..she did a physical external examination of my vaginal after asking a few simple questions..as all ladies out there who have done pap smears before know, usually docs will put some lubricant on the apparatus before inserting it in..SHE DID NOT!!! so can u imagine the pain i was in?!?!?! I didn't feel a single thing when I did my pap smear 9 months ago!!!

Anyway after some probing around (which I can tell u is extremely uncomfortable as I din know wat she is looking for, did not explain to me, only kept asking me to bear n relax!) and after hanging the apparatus inside my private part while waiting for the senior doc next door to come over (tts roughly ard 5 whole min!!), both of them came to the conclusion I have a polyp. Was explained that a polyp is 99% non-cancerous, which could also be y I was bleeding..anyway was given 3 days' MC to bedrest and consult my gynae whether to have the polyp removed.

Came home, did some yahoo research n realised polyp is non threatening to bb and is generally due to the increased level of estrogen which is quite common in pregnant women. Nevertheless, I was still put in a worried state for 4 whole days before my due consultation today.

Told my gynae abt the polyp found by KK doc...told me to relax and assure me will have a gentle examination done in awhile..before tt he went through my blood test result with us...everything is good..bb's down syndrome is the lowest we can have...immune against rubella..etc..

Going on to the scan...confirmed uterus no polyp..baby in good growing condition, growing healthily on schedule, placenta in the right position (not too low) and it's a BOY!!! yippy~ *happy like a fish*

And finally comes the physical examination..inserted the same apparatus inside..but this time w lubricant!!! It went in smoothly wo causing any pain..and (suspect the lubricant is blocking a clear view of the pelvic so my gynae had to do some cleaning up before examining)..the thing is all this while I din feel any pain or uncomfortable feeling!! he explained to me what he was doing which calmed me down pretty much..and conclusion! I do NOT have polyp...nothing to be removed at all!!!! Bleeding occurs cox of the abrasion of skin inside (he quoted a scientific term which i cant recall)!!!! I swore I could have strangled the doctors in KK for causing me 4 days of unrest!!!! In fact I felt abit so angry that I very nearly wanted to write a complaint letter...but din wan anger to get the better of me so decided to leave it behind...but NO MORE KK!!! cheap it might be...but thanks but NO THANKS!!!

Anyway I'm pretty much a contented mummy now...it's a BOY!!! yay~~~ (thou I would have loved a girl as well..as long as he/she is healthy)..

Guessed what im gg to busy myself with??? Shopping Time!!!

Recent shopping

After hibernating for 3 mths (had been a good wife/daughter-in-law/mother-to-be, and gg home everyday after work for home cooked dinner n ample rest), finally took a "break" and met up with cyk for some shopping.

Desperately in need of some body moisturiser tt is safe for use and also deodorant (dunno if it's cox of the change in hormones, i stink! yes, i seriously think i stink! thou dg says i smell ok to him, but im not taking chances!). And after popping by Sephora, Crabtree (their newest avocado series smells great!!!), Watsons, Guardian, etc..I finally settled on Loccitane~ because they have this Mom n Child series...so friendly...thou I ended up buying their almond body lotion (which the sales girl says it's definitely safe for mummies as she had seen lots of preggies using and the ingredient list looks pretty decent to me..)
Oh and I got my deodorant from there as well...and I got a Bio-Oil Gel for my stretch marks from Guardian (nope, no stretch marks yet..but prevention is always better than cure!) It's a rather small bottle so after this I'm hopping to Clarins..

And along the shopping trip...hee some rather good find...cyk recommended me this french pastry shop tt recently opened in takashimay...and we hopped over for a try cox I told her I fell in love with bread ever since I got preggy.. Bought myself a strawberry tart, mixed fruits tart, apple feuilette (dunno how to spell!) and a box of mini macarons (choux and coffee cream)..

yet to try these..will comment after trying them tonight for desserts/supper..

NOW NOW NOW!! this is the box of little wonders of surprise!!! I simply love these tiny creatures!!!! The usual macarons sold (be it from bakerzin, pan pacific, other big fanciful hotels/patisseries, etc) are either too sweet (for my liking) or too soft or both...BUT! this box of macarons from Paul - FANTASTIC! crispy on the outside, one bite into it, the fillings flood into your mouth yet not overflowing out of the crust onto your hands, and best of all, the sweetness is just nice! oooohh...soooo yummy....im salivating...only con is tt the flavours r quite limited...n it comes ready packed so u dun get to choose..a box of 12 for $19..a tad too expensive but as rewards...definitely worth it..

Side tracking abit...I need to dedicate alittle of this post to my dearest hubby *muackz* for buying me a rolex~ and altho he did state tt it's for all the occassions this yr (meaning no more pressies for me), but well...what beats a rolex? haha...

Update

Ok, finally some updates for my friends after leaving this blog empty for some months...And of cox, I do have a very very good reason to be "absent" *grinz* guessed it??? haha....yeapz..dragon bb for us!! Got preggy one month after our customary dinner...came as a surprise for us...decided to try for a bb in december (near my ovulation) and bingo! we were lucky in some sense...so even thou we were taken abit by surprise, we were thankful...very thankful..

The first 3 mths were not easy at all for me..constant morning sickness coupled with motion sickness = no mood for work..plus ino my 1.5mth, my gynae found retro-placental blood and I had to be bedwarded at home for a whole week...i had a higher chance of miscarriage than other mummies of my stage..had to get plenty of bedrest..only work n home on doctor's instructions..just so happened dg had to travel overseas for work and his mum voluntarily stayed over w me to ensure im safe n sound during the night...I'm grateful for everything she's done for me..she's not young, had to take care of 5 grandchildren during the daytime and had to walk home w me every night n stayed over...and had to return home again in the morning to take care of the rest....grateful, touched...really thank god i have such a thoughtful n doting mil...my colleagues were really a bunch of goodies also...took great care of me during working hours, gave me lots of care...slackened my job scope so tt i could rest well...wat else can i say...im a lucky woman... :)
