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)

once the eldest always be the eldest
Parents are now safely arrived and happily doing their ibadah(s) in Madinah. they'll be going to Mecca this 28th October...
Since their departure on Monday night, I have turn myself (automatically) to be a more concern and more responsible sister as I could since Im the eldest and the other three are still studying. I have been calling my youngest brother (Izzat) more than once every day since Tuesday. hearing my voice may make him has a little of comfort i guess since he can't directly communicate to either mum or dad except via sms.the other brother (Imran) is not much to be worry as he's already 19 and can manage himself well enough but I still contact him on and off.
However, the other fella (Amir) who is now studying in MRSM is the one I worry most since I can't directly contact him.what can I do is to wait for him to call me (which has been ages on my own calculation though it just 4days)..Well, not able to talk to someone you care and love and worry most for these amount of days will make you become more worried right? I have been regretting that I didn't pass him enough coins so that he can call me (well, the only source to contact is via public phone)..
but Alhamdulillah, I guess there is still a telepathy between brother-sister and thus he did call me last night which make me feel a big relieve in the heart that I can hear his voice and knowing that he is in good condition. Though the phone call was just 2minutes (not enough coins).
all these while, I am grateful to have my husband all by my side. he's the one who acts more as the eldest in my family though he's not the eldest in his. luckily all three brothers get along well with him. my husband has been hearing my worried(ness) of not be able to contact my second brother every single night and i bet he's the one who feel big relieve when Amir give a call last night.
and this Monday baby and me will be having our fourth scanning at Ampang Puteri. Hope baby is growing well and healthy in mommy's womb.
