Flashback - Pregnancy

FLASHBACK FLASHBACK FLASHBACK

It's strange how I am forced to dig out my diary and document it all down. Had to do this for the upcoming seminar that I have registered to secure my place.

Here it goes

Pregnancy
2005 Oct 28 Tested positive on HCG test. (Gave the test kit in a anniversary card to dear hubby Tim. Boy! you guys should have caught his face! It was our 4th year traditional wedding anniversary)

2005 Oct 29 Saw the gynae Dr Goh but could not see anything with the abdominal scan. Turned down an internal scan.

2005 Nov 5 Saw pregnancy sac with abdominal scan this time at gynae’s. Dr Goh said implantation ok. To return in 3 weeks.

2005 Nov 18 Saw the gynae Dr Goh earlier by 1 week as my car got banged by another in the carpark as I was inching out of my lot. Dr Goh did a scan and cleared everything and to monitor next 3 days. No negative signs. Asked to return next week to monitor.

2005 Nov 26 Saw Dr Goh. Everything seems ok. Gained a total of 1.4kg at 8 week 5 day gestation. Had been having loose stools and bloat.

2005 Nov 27 Temper’s very bad. Still very bloated and very loose stools.

2005 Nov 28 Consulted family physician, Dr Hing and was prescribed rest, loperamide for diarrhea, Buscopan for pain, Meteorspasml for wind and cramp. Called the gynae Dr Goh to check if medication was ok. Was advised not to take meteorspasml. Took the rest of the medication and slept all day. Cramps still persisted.

2005 Nov 29 Called the gynae Dr Goh again to check but gynae outstation.

2005 Nov 30 Consulted another Gynae Dr Paul Tseng. Was prescribed Losec and 3 days medical leave but I had my misgivings about the medication so did not take the medication and just rested.

2005 Dec 1 Still gassy and bloated but did not take Medication.

2005 Dec 2 Still feeling as bloated.

2005 Dec 17 At 11weeks 1 day gestation, a total weight gain of 1.2kg. Foetus measuring 4.6cm.

2006 Mar 4 At 22 weeks gestation, a total weight gain of 7.3kg for mummy and baby estimated weight to be 495g. Blood test results were out. Dr Goh said it’s all ok. Did not proceed to do detailed scan as Dr Goh said it was optional and not necessary since we were young, should be fine.

2006 Apr 9 At 30 weeks gestation, a total weight gain of 11kg for mummy and baby estimated weight to be 1.5kg

2006 May 20 At 33 weeks gestation, a total weight gain of 13.7kg for mummy and baby estimated weight to be 2.5kg. Blood pressure at routine check up with gynae shows ok. However, Dr said sugar level a little high, maybe due to the little more ice cream I have consumed. Gained too much weight, almost 3 kg in 3 weeks. Blood volume also low so was advised to take iron tabs.
2006 Jun 1 Routine check up with gynae. Lost 1.9 kg in 2 weeks with a nett weight gain of 11.8kg for mummy. Baby estimated weight at 2.6kg.

2006 Jun 23 Routine check up with gynae. Total weight gain of 13.4kg for mummy. No more scanning of baby. Heartbeat ok.

2006 Jun 30 Routine check with gynae. Total weight gain of 13.5kg for mummy. No more scanning of baby. Heartbeat ok.
