Alhamdulillah, I'm in my 36 weeks of pregnancy now and didn't pop out too soon. Been having pains in the suprapubic area and fatigue and mild contractions since coming back from Kuching haritu. Takut sangat kena deliver early and baby preemie. Huhu. Next week inshaAllah baru fullterm. Went for a checkup with Dr Ariza in my 34th week. Doc said the baby quite big and dah engaged dah. No wonder I rase saket kat bawah and not tummy area dah. Sometimes nak jalan pon susah. No wonder people sometimes say that its like you have a bowling ball between your legs. Try walking like that. Dulu to make myself feel good..konon-konon I was sashaying not walking..ala-ala princess gitu. But now..sad to say, I'm waddling like a duck. Huhu. Doc says baby pon macam dah fullterm baby because he's 2.6kg. This Wednesday will go for my 36th week checkup. I wonder what will be new. Hope the baby isn't that big. I've been praying hard that this time I can go for normal delivery. Please make doa for me :)
It's true when people say that every pregnancy is different. Dulu mase Aqil I takdela rase macam ni. Dulu I can't even feel Aqil moving inside my tummy. This time around the baby wiggles and squiggles and kicks and nudges and jabs like there's no tomorrow. I should be grateful that its a sign that he's an active one :)
I also noticed with this pregnancy is that I have stretch marks. Huhu. Because I'm putting on weight more than I should, my skin has been expanding rapidly and I'm seeing stretchmarks on my tummy and thighs. Not a pretty sight. Sedeynye. Dulu with Aqil I didn't get stretchmarks at all and thought apesal la yang people fuss about it sangat. NOW I know la kan. Huhu. Dulu I had a case of PUPPS (puritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy) because I was carrying a boy, the male fetal DNA acts as a skin irritant. I was referred to see a dermatologist Dr Biduwiyah, she gave me creams and piriton for the itchiness. The itchiness will only go away after I deliver..orang Melayu says its pembawaan budak. Alhamdulillah this time around I don't have the symptoms. Anyway, I got to work from home because of that so yeayy. Hehe. PUPPS will eventually disappear after delivery but stretchmarks? Aiyaa~ I have been slathering Bio Oil for some time but its still there. Kene rajin sapu lagi for a few months kot. Let see if it helps.

Another thing I noticed is that I will get tired easily. I think it's the fact that I'm humongous now. I feel like a whale or an elephant. Huhu. Nak jalan from OU old wing to new wing pon penat. Nak turun rumah going to the car pon is hassle. It's not like I'm short of breath ke ape..well sometimes if I rush and don't take my time but it's the feeling yang the baby sangat berat and macam nak jatuh you have to hold your tummy in order to support it. Kalau tak pegang perut macam baby akan terkeluar je. Huhu. Didn't experience it last time with Aqil. Maybe because after I delivered Aqil I didn't quite get back to my pre-pregnancy weight kot. Haisyhh. Nanti ni gotta work hard to cut down the kilos. The fact that I have Aqil to tend to also makes me tired easily kot. It's no easy feat tending to a 2 year old. Alhamdulillah I have hubby who helps out a lot with Aqil. He bathes Aqil, changes his diapers, sends and picks him up from nursery, plays with him at home, go to the park together and even go out for breakfast just the two of them whenever I need my rest or need to sleep in. I am so thankful but sometimes I don't think I show my appreciation enough. Being hormonal because of the pregnancy (or not) sometimes I expect more out of him. But I guess he's doing his best and has been a great help. I je yang nak lebey-lebey. Most wives macam tu ke ek? Or is it just me? Huhu. Love you H~ :)
Starting this week I've been a night owl. I can't sleep at night. I'll sleep from 11 or 12 at night and then wake up at 3 something in the morning. Golek-golek balek but still cannot sleep back. Huhu. Dahla nak find a good and comfy position nak tido tu susah. Huhu. Anyway..now it's become a routine. Whenever I wake up in the wee hours of the morning, I dah tak try dah to sleep balek. In a way, bagus la jugak I dikejutkan untuk bangun and solat apa-apa yang patut. Since I'm not working ni, after Aqil and H has gone to work baru I sambung tido balek sampaila ke tengahari. Hehe. Works well for me now...but don't know la macam mane nanti once the baby comes :p
