Pregnancy comes when u least expected it..maybe because there is less pressure? Previously i was trying so hard..i mean, i use the ovulation test & pregnancy test pretty often during my first few months of marriage...
At one point, i stop trying so hard & try just to enjoy the moment & stop myself from keep doing the pregnancy test..because getting a negative result can be frustrating (definitely not a nice feeling)..however the ovulation test helps because at least i can pinpoint when is my egg coming out of my ovary :) i did some calculation on the internet & then confirm it with the ovulation test/kit..
U can try to calculate when the day u are fertile using this link: http://www.babycenter.com/ovulation-calculator
OR simply type ovulation calculator at google search :P
The chance of being pregnant is better when u know when u are ovulating..
Anyway..
I test for pregnancy when i felt my stomach bloating & there were 2 blue veins on my chest..one on each side..because i remember some of my friends telling me that there will be a blue vein on the chest during pregnancy..immediately i did a test, & it was positive..
It is kind of hard to believe, my menstrual is not even due yet..i mean, usually pregnancy test is usually done after 2 weeks of missed period/menstrual..& yet it was not even time for my menstrual yet..so i decided to keep the info for me, husband & parents only..i did some test a week later & it was positive..later i checked i'm already at 7 weeks..
I did some reading & calculation of how long i've been pregnant..

| This is how a 7 weeks looks like :) |
Usually the way to calculate how long u have been pregnant is to start counting from the day of your last period..it doesn't make sense to me at first & i didn't believe the calculation i did online..when i calculated, it was 6 weeks & 6 days..on the same day later i went to clinic & the result from scan is my baby is at 7 weeks..pretty accurate eh? i was surprised..
I mean,logically, the counting should start from the date of my ovulation..apparently, it doesn't work that way..at least that is what the doctor said..it doesn't matter how long your cycle is (mine is usually 40 days)..the counting will start from the day of your last period & then confirmed by the scan..
My husband is totally excited..i think he is more excited than i am..i'm still warming up to the news..i am happy but i guess it takes time for me to be totally excited? hehe..or maybe i'm not too excited because i'm feeling queasy & tired most of the times..
It is difficult to ingest food & i am hungry! My stomach makes sounds but there is only some food i can tolerate..i can only eat a little of oily food..it makes my stomach churns..i had fried mee one morning & it makes me want to vomit the whole day..plus, i kept having to go to the toilet! so not worth it..i keep thinking: oh baby u are so health conscious..u make me eat only healthy food..
The stuff i can eat are limited to:
-soups that doesn't taste too strong nor oily
-certain vegetables
-certain type of fish & a little portion of meat - no chicken at all
-fruits
-cereal
-tofu
Oh my..i am concerned on the amount of protein i'm taking..i am trying my best anyway to get as much protein as i can..fruits & vege i have no problem eating..but protein, oh my my my..
During pregnancy i have to make sure i include this in my regime:
-folic acid
-fish oil
-milk ( omg i suck at this..i dont drink it often..had to take it with kokocrunch)
-vege fruits & proteins
-lots of H2O
-exercise to strengthen pelvic floor & the spine (ok i haven't done this at all..it is actually very important to help me bear the weight i am going to carry later..i do not want to have backpain..the pelvic exercise helps during delivery of baby..strong uterus may help with smooth delivery process..i'd like that)
Thinking of this baby's father now..so glad that he is my husband..i wouldn't mind if my baby turns out to be like him..he is a good man..
Up till now, i believe that good men are for good women & good women are for good men, although sometimes there is a mismatch..Thank God we are paired & meant to marry each other..i couldn't imagine otherwise..i might end up the other way ( noooooo)..oh i am thankful for my husband..
Yes, things might change/ get a little rough in marriage..but try to be positive & handle it with a good attitude..
This whole pregnancy thing is still new to me..need to learn a lot more & be patient (when the stomach grumbles)..hehe..
it is still early & i shouldn't get too excited yet..
Only after 3 months of pregnancy the baby is safe..kind of..because that is when the risk of miscarriage will drop significantly..& that is why we shouldn't tell a lot of people during the 1st 3 months of pregnancy..only after 3 months the news is safe to be announced..
haaa..im sleepy..its time for bed..
tata..
