Ending my trimester 2 already, sigh...

I'm going to 28 weeks next week. 

Pejam celik je dah nak kena mengisi chart pergerakan baby. 

Wah...so soon InsyaAllah the new family member will be arriving. 

Rasa mcm cepat sangat masa berlalu untuk pregnancy ketiga ni. Tak banyak yg sempat di catatkan dalam blog ni.. Kesian baby IH3.. tp umi keeps all the medical record etc. 

Untuk IH3 ni, umi check up sampai 6 bulan lebih di klinik kesihatan and at the same time buat check up dengan Dr Geetha di Hospital Pantai Manjung. But after this, umi nak mintak refer ke doktor di Penang, sebab umi plan nak bersalin di Penang. tapi kita plan je mana la tau terberanak kat Perak ni jugak.. 

Macam biasa, every pregnancy, perut umi memang lah tak berapa nak nampak sangat. 

Kesian jugak kat diri sendiri sbb bila naik LRT, orang tak berapa nak realize . 

Ni masa 6 months plus. 

Ramai ingat baru 4 months. 

Tapi IH3 kat dalam membesar ikut size yg normal, itu paling penting. Perut umi besar mana pon x kisah, janji anak di dalam sizenya bertambah seiring usia kandungan. 

Last check up masa 6 bulan, IH3 was 800g. 

Esok check up lagi untuk minum air gula, 

kalau doc scan dapat la tgk skrg IH3 dah 1 kilo lebih ke belum. 

Baju2 dari abang Ilyaas and Kak Imani yg elok lagi, umi dah asingkan untuk IH3. 

Baju2 baru pon dah mula beli sikit2. 

Minggu depan ingat nak mula mencari dengan serius barang2 untuk IH3. 

Bath tub stand pon dh beli coz aritu ada sale dekat Tesco , dapat RM99 je from original price Rm133. 

Kali ni mmg ready for czer so bath stand is really needed. No more tunduk2 untuk mandikan baby. 

changing table pon akan diusahkan cari, coz umi really really needs it. 

Sekarang ni IH3 ada skala movement dia. Agak kuat bergerak kalau umi kuat makan. 

Nanti update lagi ...

Surah2 Amalan Ibu Mengandung

Buku Pink Umi

Assalamualaikum,

Alhamdulillah. Kalau ikutkan ticker kat sebelah ni, saya sekarang pregnant 10 weeks and 1 day. Semalam encik suami ajak pergi check-up baby kat Klinik Desa Siputeh, memandangkan both of us rasa sedikit bersalah pada adik baby. Yerla, masa pregnant kan Ilyaas dulu kitaorg check dekat Ampang Puteri, dengan Dr. Fauziah. Those yang duduk KL and selalu ke Ampang Puteri, mungkin kenal la dgn Dr.Fauziah. Plus, we started his check up when he was 8 weeks. Tu pun kitaorg realize bila I bukak balik my first pregnancy book.

Well, sebenarnya, takdela neglect terus this precious second pregnancy. I took acid folic from the first week I knew I am pregnant again. I also continue taking my multivitamin pills that contains DHA, Omega, Calcium and B-complex. And I immediately stop taking fenugreek as advised by a dear friend of mine who is a doctor. And we went to two doctors in private clinic to confirm this pregnancy and did first scan when I am 8 weeks and nampak our little embryo =) Just that, we did not go to fancy private clinic and make appointments with famous gynaecologist like my first pregnancy.

Ok, back to the original title. Hari ni I got my pink pregnancy book. First time check up pregnancy kat klinik government, and feels so different. Ni chronology first check up kat gomen klinik...

1. Register kat counter and dapatkan giliran. Sebab saya gi KD je, so org tak ramai. Tak yah buat appointment etc. 


2. Since this is my 2nd pregnancy, so I serahkan my 1st pregnancy book to the nurse and dorang record all the details dalam buku pink I. Buku pink ada 2, satu simpan kat klinik, satu kita pegang. 


3. Lepas dah salin semua maklumat etc ke dalam buku2 tu, and tanya serba sedikit pasal tinggi and blood type, berat pun di ambil. Check tekanan darah, amik darah kat jari and check air kencing. Alhamdulillah semua ok. Nurse tanya ada makan supplement ke sebab darah molek je.


4. Nurse tanya history first pregnancy. Ni yang lama, sebab cerita pasal emergency ceaser segala. 


5. Pastu, nurse suruh baring kat katil and dia check mata, leher (takut ada thyroid), breasts, perut (nurse cakap baby ada sebelah kiri, dia rasa ketul), check parut ceaser (sedikit risau since parut tebal) then check kaki (kalau ada urat timbul etc).


6. Nurse bagi nasihat cara nak bangun dari baring. Tak leh bangun tegak je, boleh rosakkan tulang baby, kena mengiring dulu baru bangun.


7. Dapat supplement. Free, kalau kat private acid folic pun kena bayar. Antara supplement yang dpt hari ni ialah ... Acid folic, B-complex dan satu lagi tak ingat nama..


8. Nurse terangkan kepentingan setiap supplement tu and bila waktu yang sesuai nak makan.


9. Nurse terangkan saya akan dapat sticker hijau dari kementerian kesihatan since pregnancy saya dikategorikan sebagai pernah bermasalah. My first pregnancy dulu kan end up dgn emergency ceaser since kepala Ilyaas tak turun walaupun bukaan dah 8cm. So, based on sticker hijau, saya perlu check 4 minggu sekali.kalau tak, 8 minggu sekali. and then, case saya kena refer ke hospital ipoh.tak leh la ke hospital batu gajah. but saya plan nak bersalin kat hometown kat bukit mertajam je nnt. 


10. Lepas tu, buat appointment untuk check darah kat Klinik Kesihatan Tronoh dan next check up kat Klinik Desa Siputeh. So next week kena gi KK Tronoh utk amik darah pulak.

Overall, I feel satisfied with the first check up kat Klinik Desa. Hopefully, more successful check ups in the future.

bak kata nurse, this is a risky pregnancy. so , tag hijau . But InsyaAllah  its not risky both to baby and myself

im at 36weeks , MashaAllah

It has been 36 weeks from my last period.which means i have been pregnant for all this while,36 weeks = 9 months...and it flies so fast. From the day we made our home pregnancy checked we were really2 hoping that this pregnancy is true...(since we throw the test paper into the dustbin without noticing the second line is coming up)..but our visit to the clinic confirmed that I am 5 weeks pregnant at that time. Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah...

Going through the first trimester in Ramadhan wasn't easy. Alhamdulillah I managed to fast for the whole Ramadhan and you are growing bigger inside me even I didn't eat during the day. Luckily, I did not face any major nauseas during the first trimester except for minor here and there throw out,and yes, I have allergies to curry :( so sad because I love eating curry...

Moving to second trimester was a bless...I gained more weight by then. At 5 months (20 weeks) pregnant, I started to feel that I need to buy new clothes which can suit my body develoment during pregnancy. I started to feel pain under my left abdoment which continues up till this moment. It hurts! but at least I know that my baby is growing bigger each day in my uterus.There are days where I got brown/red discharge and at the very first time, I cried in the shower, as I am scared of losing you..But Alhamdulillah, doctor said there is nothing to worry, and you are growing well inside.

At 28 weeks, my fingers (both hands and legs) started to swell. I can't wear shoes , only sneakers or sandals..sleeping at night become harder, breathing become harder, eating become so tiring...At 35 weeks, during meeting with doctor, my blood pressure has incresed to 130/80 which indicate stage of hypertension. It;s not a good news but according to the doc its normal in most first pregnancy. I also received admission letter from hospital to be in labour at any time from now...

oh my little man, mummy really excited and cant wait to meet u but for now, pls hang in there for another week or more so that u will be fully matured to start breathing the air outside and mummy can prepare myself for the labour...

honestly im scared when i think about the labour..but other have gone through it, so do I...InsyaAllah....

baby's gender

found this while blog walking. it's interesting and i've made some comparisons of reality and the chart..it shows that this is quite true.

chart ni compare umur ibu time pregnant/consume the baby and bulan bayi tersebut dilahirkan..

tp jgn percaya sgt sbb semuanya Allah yang tentukan, cuma ramai pasangan try to follow this chart and analysis shows that it is 99% accurate. chart ni dijumpai baru-baru ini tertanam di kawasan makam raja China berhampiran Peking. Ia kemudiannya dipamerkan diInstitute Sains Beijing. Carta ini dipercayai berusia lebih 700 tahun

so cuba la tgk2 kot2 berjaya :P

triple chin

pregnant does make me happy. of course it does! i'm going to be a mother and will have a little kid!

but pregnant also makes my body change a lot! definitely my weight increase...ok, the fact that i've increased more than 10kgs within 7months pregnancy do scared me! but, that does not matter as long as baby growing well inside.

i think my cholesterol level also has been increasing even doctor does not say any word bout it. i realized this because my neck getting more flappy! like my dad =( but my dad is 53 while im 24! will this change to normal after this?

i got double chin..no i think this is triple chin already! oh baby, mummy being so kind to u by eating everything she craves for...hope u r doing fine inside...xoxo u!

okla, whatever it is, i think this is part of the hormone changes, it does make me feel unhappy bout the changes on my body currently. so better stop here...

the craving for apple strudels

badly want this...kecur air liur bila terkenangkan rasa apple strudels corica ni..
this weekend im going out for outing with my dearest hubby for apple strudels and deserts searching...
some friends suggests me to try apple strudels dekat Strudels in MidValley..we'll do that this weekend iAllah..~

Beautiful Mess

Pregnancy is one of the most extreme times in a woman's life: extreme emotions, extreme moods, extreme appetite. I remember being so tired, but also incredibly ambitious. I was nervous about the baby's health, doctor's visits, needles and weight gain and yet I understood the real hope for the first time in my life. And the midst of pregnancy, when I become heavier than ever before, I somehow felt more beautiful than any previous time in my life. This body, which society says must be thin to be fashionable and is for display purpose only, now had a real purpose.

There are so many joys along the road to becoming a new mother-the least of which is the many people who love to tell you every little negative thing that happened to them during the pregnancy, the childbirth and those blessed first months with new baby. You announce your due date and everyone says ' Congratulations', right before they jump into their own story about their fifty-hour unmediated labor, followed by thirteen weeks of straight colic, teenage angst, and how they cannot get their grown children to leave home.

I love the special people in my life who tell me, "You're as big as a house" or " Enjoy sleep while you can." They show emotional sympathy of a hungry pit bull.

But I want you to know that no matter the pains or discomfort or fears, there will be no time in your life as sweet. Nothing will bring such a beautiful smile or fonder memories than when you think back to preparing for your baby. If the road to becoming a mom were difficult as it is joy-filled, then we would take it for granted. It is the aches and pains and little quirky weird things that happen along the way that make our stories unique, that tie us to our children with fierceness. We know what it cost to get them here, on Earth.

The rough edges of pregnancy are smoothed out by intense love and joy. For example: there is nothing like first kicks of your baby in the your womb. Of course, if you've made it to seventh month or beyond (Alhamdulillah I am at my/our seventh month this week) you will occasionally wish junior wasn't so aggressive.

My first child wedged his feet into my ribs so hard I was so sure he was trying to break out early. Because of this, I often said that I would be so much happier with my baby in my arms rather than a karate-chopping my insides. The things that were so hard to endure in the long minutes of every day become the things you miss as time moves on. Two months after my son was born, I became a liar. I missed his little kicks terribly. I missed his flip-flopping in the night. I had to have another one so I could feel it again.

No matter how many absolutely adorable pictures you get at Sears or Penney's, there will never bring those first ultrasound pictures bring. There is such an intense rush in knowing that there is really a baby growing inside you, and it's your son or your daughter!You can actually see them suck their thumbs or tickle their own toes (Yes, I was given chance to see these in my own womb, Alhamdulillah) For me, its a proof; it seemed to take the abstract and bring it all home. This confirms your motherhood: you must wear jeans that rise above the belly button(just kidding).

Here's the best part: all the leg shaving, makeup wearing,bikini waxing, eyebrow plucking, high-heel walking and hair fixing you've ever done or had to learn how to do; all the rude stares; catcalls;impolite gestures, and unequal treatment;anything and everything that makes being a woman hard, inconvenient, and tiresome-even pregnancy and labor-comes crashing down when you, at your weakest, become the strongest you've ever been and push your own child into this world, and you finally embrace a beautiful, messy joy that is your newborn.

As I stared at my son's quivering lips while he cried in the first few minutes after he was born, I was so proud. I was proud to be a woman, and no amount of pain or fear or stereotype placed upon me by society would ever change that again. I alone was equipped to care for and give birth to this boy. My body nurtured him for nine months and would keep fat on his thighs for a year more through breast-feeding.

It is an empowering feeling. We are told there so many things we can't do, and then we realize we are capable of the seemingly impossible. We triumph in the face of unspeakable difficulties!

And what they say is true! We forget the hardest parts of pregnancy, at least enough to go through it again. But God made pregnancy hard for a reason-nobody but a tired, pregnant woman could actually look forward to labor.

50 reasons to be glad you're pregnant Written for BabyCenter Malaysia

*i know i have copied and paste this article but reading all the 50 reasons to feel great being pregnant making my tears drop* Subhanallah*


We all have moments when we think, 'Never again!' during pregnancy: perhaps morning sickness is making you miserable or you're 10 days overdue with not even a hint of a contraction. To remind you that being pregnant can be fun, we've rounded up some of the nice things about being an expectant mum.

And why not share the things that have made pregnancy wonderful for you - just scroll down to the parents' tips box, below.

1 Relishing the early weeks when only you and your husband knew your special secret.

2 Knowing you've got nine whole months to plan, dream and fantasise.

3 Choosing maternity clothes - they've never been more practical or more sexy.

4 Now you've got the perfect excuse to pamper yourself - spending hours in a scented bath, enjoying a massage or rubbing soothing lotions into your growing bump.

5 Maternity leave when you will have two whole months (more if you work for a progressive, forward-thinking company) to enjoy your baby.

6 You can join a antenatal class and find a whole new bunch of friends (and don't forget our BabyCenter birth clubs: another great way to meet people due at the same time as you).

7 For once in your life you need to get heavier - pregnancy is Nature's way of making you feel good about putting on weight.

8 If this is your first baby, enjoy the next nine months sleeping late at weekends: you won't get many chances later on.

9 At last you've got the bosom you've always wanted, which means you also have...

10...a great excuse to buy lots of pretty new bras.

11 Finally, you can ask people to get off their seats for you in the LRT, train or bus.

12 At last you'll have something more than pot plants and cats to care for and nurture!

13 Suddenly you'll find you're getting lots of extra attention from parents, aunts and uncles, not to mention your husband.

14 You may find you develop a closer relationship with sisters, cousins or friends who are parents themselves. Congratulations, you've just won free admission to the parents' club!

15 Telling your mum, dad, sister, brother, aunt, dog and seventh auntie twice removed, the good news and watching their faces light up.

16 New talents! Whether it's knitting bootees or assembling a flat-pack cot, you'll suddenly find yourself trying out all sorts of new skills.

17 Suddenly you'll feel a new appreciation for your own mother and all she went through having you.

18 Decorating the nursery: one of the most exciting things you'll ever do.

19 Feeling those first fluttering kicks and thinking, 'Is that what I think it is? Or is it just wind?'

20 Feeling OK for sending your husband out for roti canai followed by double-choc chip ice cream and cendol.

21 Your parents digging out your old cot or pram, which they've kept safely all this time 'just in case'.

22 Going for healthy walks with your husband and getting fresh air in your lungs because it's good for you and good for your baby.

23 Enjoying the extra-vivid dreams you get in late pregnancy - and laughing about them with your friends.

24 Feeling a little pair of heels prodding under your diaphragm and knowing you'll soon be meeting the little person they belong to!

25 Choosing baby clothes and planning what you're going to buy.

26 Writing a pregnancy diary for your baby to read in the future.

27 Getting someone to take photos of you smiling over your enormous bump so that, one day, you can look back and be amazed you were ever that size.

28 Finding out how many people there are out there ready to care for you: grandma, grandpa, mum and dad, great grandaunt Bibi who used to scold you for playing masak-masak with her good china, doctors, nurses, breastfeeding counsellors...

29 Lying in bed with your husband's arms around you and your bump, knowing that love has created a new life.

30 Enjoying indulgences, such as evenings out, weekends away and anything else you might not be able to do so easily once the baby arrives.

31 Knowing that from now on, whatever happens, you'll never be bored again.

32 Making new friends whenever you go shopping - everyone has a pregnancy story to share.

33 You can spend whole evenings debating baby names... (don't forget to try our BabyCenter baby namer if you get stuck!)

34 Imagining what he or she will look like. Your sweet little ears, of course, and his sexy eyes!

35 Dreaming about, "My daughter the prime minister/pop star/brain surgeon."

36 Looking at your growing bump in the mirror and realising there's a person in there!

37 Making out a squirmy outline on the ultrasound monitor. Asking for the pic to take home and pinning it up next to your work station, or just keeping it in your bag to sneak looks at.

38 The expression on your husband's face as he sees the test strip turn blue, looks at your growing bump or feels the baby kicking.

39 Buying that first little cuddly toy for your baby, not somebody else's.

40 Making that phone call to your husband to tell him that - we're off! - labour has started.

41 Trying out all those exercises you learned at antenatal class and finding out that they actually work!

42 Being held and supported throughout a contraction by your husband or labour companion and knowing that you can trust them totally.

43 Finding out, as the contractions get tough, that your repertoire of swear words (in several languages!) is far more extensive than you ever realised!

44 Making an informed choice about pain relief and finding that it's right for you at that stage in labour.

45 That huge rush of pleasure and relief when, suddenly, all the pain and effort stops.

46 Looking into your newborn's eyes and falling utterly in love.

47 Hearing your husband tell his colleagues, the cleaning lady, delivery man and anyone else he can find because his joy and pride are overwhelming.

48 Celebrating! Whatever the time of day or night.

49 Making all those phone calls to announce the arrival. Telling everyone the news and hearing the excitement in their voices.

50 Waking up to see your baby sleeping next to you and thinking, 'Wow! This is real. I'm a mum!'

my baby's anomaly scan

Last friday, I had a detailed scan@anomaly scan for my baby =)
I was sad that my husband can't get leave to accompany me for the best moment of our marriage so far.
But I was lucky that my mother in-law and sister in-law were here in KL.So, both of them accompany me to Ampang Puteri for the detailed scan.
It took place around 30-40minutes for the doctor to complete all the necessary scanning procedures for my little baby.

This moment was truely the best moment ever, seeing a life living in my womb. I saw the face, I saw the mouth chewing/drinking something from the amnion fluid in my placenta, I saw the brain, I saw the nose+nose bone, I saw the heart together with the injap(s), I saw the kidney, I saw the backbone, lips,fingers, the *** of the baby (yipppeeee)...and also i heard the heartbeat (even though just for few seconds since its 4D scanning and more heat is transferred to the baby, so the doc decided not to do it for long)

Ayah was pissed off that he can't follow mummy to see you last friday. But mummy brings back the 3D pic of ur face and explain all one by one to Ayah about the scanning from A-Z. Ayah was pleased to see your picture and confirm mummy that you has mummy's chin and ayah's head (InsyaAllah)...ayah keeps asking mummy lots of question bout the scanning since he wasn't there. pity him that he has to many work in the office=(urgh...

you are so cute sayang when mummy saw u. mummy hopes you're doing fine and safe in my womb. As doc said, Alhamdulillah the anomaly scan shows normal result (insyAllah-praises to Allah). You gonna turn 22 weeks this Wednesday and there will be another 15-18weeks before mummy can touch and hear you, insyaAllah.

oh yes, nenek also bought some baju, socks, mittens and towels for you.and nenek has made barut for u and mummy.and currently nenek is knitting your blanket. you must sayang nenek as she does for u.and btw tok dad also proud saying bout u in front of uncle jimmy and aunty madam last week, that shows he loves u already!

Tok mak will be coming back from Mecca this Friday and mummy gonna bring u ( i mean my bulat tummy) to see tok mak and tok wan. both of the also loves u so much.Tok wan is excited to receive his first cucu. Both of them were so pleased to pray for ur safety in front of Kaabah.

ok sayang,mummy need to go back home. mummy in the office now.

blame the hormones

gosh! what happened to me these two days?
i was so emotionally unstable.
simple slight things make me hurt.or lead me to sulking the whole day.
this shouldn't be happening if the hormones levels are still the same as before.
and within these two days, my baby has turn to 17weeks,i guess its really the hormone.
I'm sorry abang for acting emotionally weirdo.
You did nothing wrong and you were absolutely great as always.

"The Society for Women’s Health Research and the National Institute for Mental Health convened a thought leaders’ roundtable in June to discuss current efforts to understand the effects of hormonal transitions, specifically pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause, on the occurrence of mood disorders in women."( Science Daily)

"Two main hormones, estrogen and progesterone cause mood swings during pregnancy. Emotions are always unstable and feeling of depression is normal as any other body changes during pregnancy. She may move from great joy to deep despair within fraction of time. A pregnant woman may feel tearful with little cause or no cause at all. She may even find hard to express the reason of joy or despair. This is no psychological problem but; a clear picture of hormonal changes."(Sharon Supriya, April 19 2009)

(Two main hormones, estrogen and progesterone cause mood swings during pregnancy.)

my lovely sunday

i wake up at 6.30am for subuh prayer as usual but then, i ask permission from my husband to sleep again.heheh..as he's going for jogging at taman tasik titiwangsa..
so i sleep up to 8.00+, when i wake up, my husband is already back from jog..
i quickly make ice milo for him and goreng some karipap and keropok lekor.

then i cook nasi lemak with sambal ikan bilis and sambal sotong for two of us.we had late breakfast at 10.00am and that nasi lemak is also carry forward for lunch time later at 2.00pm.(things seem to be delayed during weekend)

after eating we both started to clean the house. i just do minor chores like sweeping the floor and arrange our folded shirt into the cupboard while m husband manage to vacuum the whole house and clean the newspaper rack.we watch movie at starmovie later before lunch.
after lunch, we spent the whole evening lying at the living room. i read my new novel, eat pray love while my husband watch Korea F1.oh, i also eat some vanilla ice cream while reading.feels so heavenly!

after asar we went out to jusco just to buy some vegetables for dinner.it only take us less than 1hour for traveling return home-jusco...back home i made some keropok lekor goreng and hot tea for my husband's tea time.while i prepare things to cook for dinner which is creamy chicken mushroom carbonara.


n now here i am sitting in front of laptop while watching movie at hbo...and my husband next to me =)...
(happy things does exist on earth if we choose to be happy in any thing we do )

the 15th week

Alhamdulillah I have passed my first trimester peacefully and safely.I am lucky because my morning sickness is very mild and I can still travel from KL-Penang and KL-KT safely during the first 12weeks.
The first trimester was very crucial for every pregnancy (from what doctor said and what I read and what elders told me).I went through 4weeks of it (my 5th-9th week) in the month of Ramadhan and Alhamdulillah I had fulfilled the full blessed month of fasting.May Allah accept all my ibadah during the last Ramadhan.Though it was hard to go through the whole day with empty stomach while carrying a baby-to-be and bear all the dizziness of pregnancy, Allah has make it easier for me and my baby.

Through out these 15th weeks of pregnancy, I have experience one night of heavy dizziness where I threw out everything I ate that night and we lying flat after breaking the fast. However, my first trimester morning went quite well. I just threw very2 mild after waking up and it does not give any headache or tiredness. I will always bring plastic bags in my handbag in case feeling like throwing out especially in the car. Oh yes, I spend most of my traveling time by sleeping in the car while my husband driving ....p

I am due for another checkup on 25th October and it will be my 17th week by then. Hope baby is healthy and well developed in my tummy as tummy is growing bigger and bigger day by day..(happiness I cant described here).from my previous checkup,doctor gave me some supplements for the baby's growth which are:-

1)first 12weeks: Acid Folic
2)Calsium: after 12weeks
3)Iron+ Folic:after 12weeks
4)Neuro Gain: after 12weeks

So, I didn't particularly drink Anmum or any other maternity milk product since these supplements are enough as what my doctor said. I am excitedly and patiently enjoying every bits of this pregnancy and yes, i love my baby so much and also the father!:)

all in a go

so many things happened around this two weeks.
I had a long break for Aidilfitri and celebrated my raya in Halaman Dhuha, Terengganu.
Had enough time to tour around KT.went to beach with family, went around the kampung with KT Skill Nissan Urvan while ayah driving and the others sitting at the back feel so nausea and try to sleep in the van to avoid headache and vomiting..
had time to try the famous sotong celup tepung. the kedai was located just at the very back to KT airport and it has a nice view of the sea with angin sepoi2 bahasa...


after 8days in KT, I went back to KL and started working. What a boring life again!work is ok. how ok it is, its still a work where all the stresses are there.

Last weekend, i send my brother to Akademi Perladangan SimeDarby in Bukit Asahan, Melaka. He joined the akademi last July and this is my first time visiting his place. the place was nice and neat. all the furniture are made from IKEA! even the lamp!I feels so different now that things changes so rapidly. He used to follow my parents to Seremban to send me to TKC, but now since I'm already married and working, Im the one who send him to his study place.

oh ya, i went for my third scan yesterday. MashaAllah,it is a superb experience can't be described by words when i saw my baby is moving. though he/she is still in his/hers 12weeks/3months, the hands and legs are fully formed (i can see that and i read fact bout baby's development in mommy's womb a lot nowadays)..so the hands and legs were moving when we do the scanning, Alhamdulillah my baby looks healthy and active. Praise to Allah=)

is it safe to fast while u r pregnant?

Is it safe?

There is no clear answer, even though medical studies have looked at the effects of fasting (Cross 1990, CIA/NHS 2007). At the moment, we don't know if fasting is completely safe for pregnant women and their babies (NHS Choices 2008).

If a pregnant woman feels strong and healthy enough to fast, especially during the early part of pregnancy, she may do so. If she doesn't feel well enough to fast, Islamic law gives a pregnant women clear permission not to fast (NHS Choices 2008).

Some studies seem to show little or no effect on newborn babies if their mothers fasted. Others suggest that people may have more health problems later in life if their mothers fasted during pregnancy.

But it is hard to compare different studies done in different ways. Most of the studies we have on fasting in pregnancy are very small, so it's difficult to know for sure. Much may depend on how healthy the mother is before she gets pregnant. Here’s what the research has told us:

* There is no difference between the birth weights and Apgar scores, which are a way of measuring babies' health at birth, of babies of women who fasted, and the babies of women who did not fast (Arab 2001, Cross 1990, Mirghani 2006).


* Some women who fast during pregnancy may go on to have lower-birth weight babies. However, these results came from a study of women who were more likely to have poor diets or too little food (Sadeghipour 2008).


* Fasting by a pregnant woman does not seem to affect the potential IQ of her baby (Azizi et al 2004, Dikensoy 2008).


* Women do experience changes in the chemical balance of their blood while fasting. But the changes do not appear to be harmful to either the women or their babies, and do not affect the babies' birth weights (Dickensoy 2009).

There have been concerns about whether there is a link between fasting and how well a baby grows in the uterus (womb)and premature labour. Some studies have suggested that more babies are born early during Ramadan, but this depends on which country the mothers live in.

Women whose weight and lifestyle are generally healthy seem to cope better with fasting. Your baby needs nutrients from you. If your body has enough energy stores, then the impact of fasting is likely to be lessened. And it may depend on the many other factors, such as:

* whether Ramadan coincides with hot weather and long days
* what stage you are at in your pregnancy
* your general health before pregnancy
* how long the fast lasts

In places where the fast lasts longer and temperatures are high, dehydration may be more of a concern. Countries nearer the equator tend to have shorter fasting times. Check the accepted fasting hours for your area.
