Your first child was also born in Sept 02?! If so, what a coincidence, our 2 children are born in the same month and same year
I can feel some mvmt in my tummy 2 weeks ago, I also feel that if it's a son, you'll feel it earlier (last time I can feel my daughter moving in my tummy around 17-18 weeks). I went to see my Dr last week and she told me I'm not gaining weight during my last 3 months (coz I'm not eating well and I have quite intense nausea/vomit), I need to check-up again after 2-3 weeks and I'm a bit worried. Actually I tried to eat small meals, but still I always vomit my dinner before I went to bed :-(
Did you guys eat banana or water melon? Some people say try to aviod these fruits but I like water melon very much and my throat feel very comfortable after eating.
The emotion swing is mainly hormonal. I think that is very natural and normal. Don't worry. I always cry when I laugh, when I feel blue, when watching movies, when baby kisses me, ....
I will go for pleasure trip in UK for 2 weeks end of Sept. Am I too brave?
My husband and I love to travel very much and used to travel at least 3 times a year before I have my first baby.
But we haven't been on long trip (other than Singapore and Taiwan) since I am having my first baby. (Two years!!!) So, we decide to go for this time before the second baby arrives.
Anybody having experience in travelling when you are pregnant? Should I worry?
BTW, I just have a revision on my pregnant notes. And refresh my memory that we should sleep on our left side when we lie down. Because that would enhance our blood flow to the placenta. Girls, try to sleep on left side when you are in bed.
According to my age is below 35 years old with no case occurs in my family, my private doctor suggests me to do the blood test. Cos the blood test is more safty than 抽羊水.
Regarding to the emotional change, I've cried for many many times in these two months---
- My beloved granni was passed away in these few days, that makes me very upset and my mother cries all day when taking care of my little boy;
- My mother-in-law gets cancer (quite advanced stage), that make my whole family very sad and my hubby is always being very tiresome to visit hospital with her after work. That reduces chance of him from touching/singing to my baby (even my 14 months little boy, he seldom plays with him because of tireness);
- My little boy is getting very naughty and always dis-obey my orders;
- My worriness of doing all these extra tests (sugar-level in blood, extracting "Water" from tummy.....) I really want my hubby to be with me for these tests but he can hardly do that because he can only apply a few days leaves, and he prefers to keep these days to bring his mami to hospital rather than being with me (He said that I am independent enough and seldom makes him worry)........ :cry:
Sorry to know all these happen around you. But at least you have a new life with you. That should bring you joy.
I think you hubby loves you and your baby very much. But as what he told you, you may not be the one who needs him most at this moment. As you can still take care of yourselves and your baby. An old mama with advanced stage of cancer can be heartbreaking. I know you will be an understanding wife.
But crying may not be a bad thing when we are emotional. At least that helps us to relieve our pressure. Please keep yourself together and spend more time with your son so that he can still feel your love while daddy is busy with something else.
I hope all the bad things will pass soon and you can be a happy mother again.
I understand very much cos my hubby loves his family/parents very much as well as our own family and he always soothes me that I'm always the one who doesn't make him worry... But this is just a bit unbearable when all these happen togather... You're right, crying is a good method to release our pressure (Unlike men, they cannot cry easily because of their manhood.... I only saw my hubby sobbed when he talked to his doctor-friend on the phone in bedroom once... So poor...)
Fortunately, my little boy is not extremely naughty. When I ask him to kiss me, he will smile and rush to me and give me a mouthful of saliva... This is the most wonderful moment of the day
I also talk to my baby (in tummy) everynight that even daddy is very busy recently, he will always love "you" and our family.... Hope my little one can understand la...
