生过两胎的朋友都告诉我，第一胎和第二胎的感觉差很多。
我不明白到底差多远。现在，我怀孕已经15周。真的，差好多。
第一胎，发现自己的月经没来的时候，是非常着急的。很紧张，验了几支验孕棒都不敢相信自己（很贵的咯！），还马上看医生（真的是马上！）。
第二胎，好像迟了，买两支验孕棒。连续验了两天，证实怀孕。很镇定的过每一天的生活，有时间才打电话给医生。
第一胎，拍照拍照拍照，从肚子小小的时候就拍啊拍啊，到40周！看自己的变化。
第二胎，到现在都没有拍过一张！
第一胎，读书，下载app，每周追踪最新的胎儿状况。很清楚的记得每一天是几周又几天。
第二胎，书本啊，偶尔看看。记得几周都偷笑了，最重要是记得EDD就好。
第一胎，爸爸回来摸肚子，和孩子说话。
第二胎，爸爸回来，儿子睡了，我们赶快做家事，上网，看电视……然后睡觉……
只能说，第一胎的时候，我太得空了。虽然有工作，下班回来就是自己的时间。有时间想，有时间计划，有时间拍照啊，想东想西的。
现在，晚上连洗澡的时间都没有。有时候上个大号我的儿子在厕所外面等我！吃完早餐，准备午餐的食材，吃完午餐，准备晚餐的食材。一周洗五趟的衣服，每天要吸尘，还要负责儿子的吃喝拉撒……睁开眼睛到闭上眼睛，所有精力都用完了！第二胎在肚子里了就默默的被忽略……哎！
不行不行，至少该给她多一点时间。
要提醒自己！

Due Date
 |
| 预产期前一天 |
没想到，我的肚子原来这么舒服。宝宝在肚子里舒服得不肯出来。医生可急了，老是检查了再检查（最近一周去两次！），但是啊，事实总是难以预料，没有迹象就是没有迹象。他不出来，我们也只好耐心等待。
其实，宝宝稍稍迟点出来对我来说也无所谓，只要确保他还在我肚子里快乐的拳打脚踢，我倒是乐得轻松。和妈妈这里逛街，那里吃饭。还把整季的“爸爸去哪儿”看完了（而且，每晚都看到很迟才睡！）。这些都是难得多出来的时间。该感谢宝宝才是 :)
虽说他不出来，我没办法。但是，医生还是决定不要再搏了，明天入院催生。医生叫到，没办法咯。催生虽然听说无比的折腾，但也有好处，不必突然急冲冲的往医院跑去，一切有安排。
反正世事都有好有坏，总没有最完美的计划。况且，计划总赶不上变化，想太多也没用，就既来之则安之吧。
怀孕的最后一个月，鼻子的水肿明显很多。原本没什么被注意的肿胀突然就明显好多（或许别人注意了也不好意思告诉我）。不只鼻子，大腿手臂也好象pump风一样，很吓人。心里总是担心，会不会收不回哦⋯⋯
从38周后，肚子的重量往下压好多。一直以来，我还是走路挺快的（还被好多人责备，顶着大肚子走这么快干嘛！）。巴士还有7分钟要来了，我还是可以从办公室赶到巴士站。现在，10分钟才可以。而且，要是走得太快，就有尿急的感觉。所以这两周走路明显比以前慢很多。有时候，和妈妈和毓豪出门，他两聊得不亦乐乎，越走越快，把我远远抛在后头。(ｰｰ;)
最讨厌就是早上起来上厕所。我是少数幸运的孕妇，晚上极少起身夜尿。其实我也想过可能我太死睡了，根本没发觉自己有便意。到清晨起床的时候，便意已经很严重。但是又得翻身才能下床。又不可以下得太快，因为可能会导致漏尿。结果，就在很想快点上厕所，和需要好好控制之间纠结。想起来都可笑。
生完孩子之后，最想做的是什么？
我最想做的事情，就是平躺着睡觉！还有，吃个半生熟鸡蛋。听起来很可笑⋯⋯
今天？好好享受这个多出来得闲日 :)

I'd be Lying if I said I'm not Worry
At 32 weeks onwards, the little baby in my tummy was scanned to be at smaller size. At that point of time, I wasn't super worry because I think all babies come out in different sizes. Some small and cute, some come out to be giant baby (myself). And we have a range of different sizes at home, so I think it's all normal to begin with.
However, yesterday, my 37 weeks and 5 days, the scan show the amniotic fluid is at the borderline low of the scale. How low is low? Well I checked some information on the internet, 5th percentile at 37 weeks should be 7.5cm, and I was measured to be on 7.6cm.
Doctor told me it's not alarmingly low but I do have to have more rest. Rest well, drink well, eat well. So I was given two days MC to stay at home and do nothing. And will be scanned again tomorrow. And as usual, track if my baby is moving in my tummy.
To be honest, after the particular visit yesterday, I'm turning into a paranoid mom who keeps poking the tummy to make sure baby is moving and responding to the external activities, i.e. poking the tummy, massaging tummy, and music. When he's not responding immediately, I kept thinking, shall I see the doctor?
I'm really turning into a paranoid mom.
Then I started to play my piano. We had this piano since last week and I noticed baby dances to it a lot so I start playing after lunch. And he did respond to it well, so I kept playing and playing...
Baby, please hang on. We're in this together, we can make it and you'll be healthy.

When Another Life is Growing From What You Eat
 |
| Healthy tidbits anyone? |
So how does it feel when it comes to food, when you're eating for two?
It kinda... sucks...
You know when you eat for yourself, you probably eat anything you want. You might occasionally feel the guilt for eating too sinful and see the weighing machine number shoots up. The tinge of guilt is all about it.
But when you're pregnant, everything changes!
You make sure you don't go hungry.
You make sure you're eating enough fibers, because constipation is the last thing you want.
You make sure you take protein, calcium, iron, folate, vitamins, omega3... And hoping you're intaking them in balance. Ugh! How do you even tell??!!
You make sure you're drinking milk or yogurt everyday.
You make sure you cut down processed food, or at least try freakingly hard! :P
You make sure you are far away from the no-no foods, whether they're scientifically proven or probably just myths!
 |
| Wine? No no, you can either pour in some grape juice to pretend you're drinking one, or use it decoratively :) |
You make sure...
And the list just goes on and on...
At this time, mixed nuts have become my usual healthy tidbits. I'm actually a potato chips girl, I always eat potato chip because they're sooo sooooo delicious. And I like them to go with hummus dip or salsa dip!
But as pregnancy goes along, I've tried my very best to make friends with nuts (by going nuts),
The hardest part? The doctor advised you not too get too heavy in case the baby is growing too much and you'll have a hard time during the D-Day. And then it turns out, hey, baby a little too slim >.<
Food, a love-hate relationship!

逐渐庞大的身躯
今天，我的孕期进入32周6天，明天就33周了。很快，不到两个月的时间，宝宝即将来到这个世界。
好多人喜欢问我，你准备好了吗？嗯，想想一下，还没有。我的房间还堆得满满的宝宝的东西，小衣服、小裤子、纸尿布、袜子、手套、还有各种各样亲朋戚友送的小礼物，各式各样都还原原本本的装在箱子或袋子里，没有拆封，没有清洗 (-_-) 柜子放满了，就放在床上，床上不够位子，放地上。这种时间，真的不能让人探望，凌乱程度会让人窒息。
从32周开始，医院吩咐孕妈妈每天记录宝宝胎动有无超过10次。这听起来不算艰难的事情，对我来说却有点难。为什么呢？我基本上很少静静的坐着，走来走去，动来动去的时候，除非宝宝的胎动特别用力，要不然没有注意，是不会察觉的。而且，现在我的很健忘，算到哪里了，总是胡乱写。反正我知道，是超过10次了。
喘 （−＿−；）
从踏入30－31周开始，我的肚子突然之间变得很庞大。31周期间，我开始觉得后腰会疼，尤其坐姿不对，或者书包里背得太多，或者走路走得太快。现在，必须时时刻刻提醒自己，步伐放慢一点，没有人跟我比赛；书包背轻一点；坐姿要正确，要时时走动，避免坐得太久。
32周开始，我也开始偶尔半夜需要起身上厕所。之前都是一觉到天亮，现在这种机会是50－50的。不敢期望我不需要起来上厕所，这种机会太渺茫，只希望从现在到生产，都维持这种50－50的情况就很好了。
31－32周期间，我也开始水肿 (T_T)，非常讨厌。有时间就得做做甩甩脚的运动，坐着的时候尽量把脚垫高，尽量走动，可以的话就喝喝红豆汤（有帮助消除水肿）。昨天也从机场买了一瓶同事介绍的Clarins的Anti-Eau Body Treatment Oil。据说，每晚用这个按摩，可以帮忙消除水肿。很贵，但是，我也尽管试试。
原本怀孕还是觉得一身轻的我，现在，渐渐觉的庞大无比，行动开始受阻了。
哎⋯⋯怀孕的痛苦，应该是这时正式开始。

Of Sweat
My body is built up by different elements than the others, one way or another, which makes sweat comes so easily, effortlessly.
It always seems like I'm constantly heated up. I sweat so easily to the extend I've learned to ignore my sweat, they'll dry up anyway when I got into air-conditioned room. So, whatever.
But, have you ever heard of the pregnancy myth that says pregnant woman sweats a lot more? Don't hesitate on that, it's certainly true! Damn!
I haven't felt much differences up till 6 months pregnant. But by now, I perspire by sitting around the room, as long as I'm not under that high powered fan. Some days it's so freaking hot, I can't live without air-conditioner. And I'm truly convinced that air-conditioner made to the no.1 best invention to human's life ever in this modern world!!
If air-conditioner made into no.1, washing machine and dryer must have come next. With this new pregnancy symptom, not only the air-con/fan are constantly switched on, I have to do more laundry than ever. I kept changing clothes so often, I have to wash them much more often than before.
Besides, I use handkerchief at home to wipe my sweats (my friend told me just use towel), especially after yoga or after spending even a few minutes in the kitchen, perhaps just to make a glass of smoothie. Imagine the scene where I cook 3 Chinese stir fry dishes, or baking a cake, or cooking a soup, or worse -- having clothes in dryer, cake baking in oven, soup simmering on stove or slow cooking, all at once in the kitchen! That actually happened before, and I was drenched like I ran home in rain.
The Man tried to convince me that we can install a fan in the kitchen, but I refused. It's really sweet that he's such thoughtful but the potential of oily blades on fan really put me off. Besides, I kept telling him, it's going to be temporary, 2 months later, I'm off pregnant, and I think my condition will get back to normal. Well, my normal, not your normal. That means still sweat, just lesser extend compared to what I have now.
I shouldn't have stayed in tropical countries...

My Pregnancy Progress
 |
| Changes from second to third trimester |
My mom hates the fact that pregnant women post their bare tummy photos, but I'm doing it, right here right now.
I think it's kinda funny and weird at the same time to see the changes. The first time I took the photo at week 17, was upon request of my best friend. She doesn't have the chance to see me in real person, so occasionally she would ask me how big I am, and I would take a picture of myself and send to her. And soon, it becomes a habit (even though I didn't try to keep it every week), I managed to take 8 so far.
The tummy really ballooned upon third trimester. I wonder how I could survive the 40 weeks pregnancy. How heavy would I be? How big can I be?
To be completely honest, I didn't feel very pregnant from first to second trimester. I carried on my life like usual, except for those delicious foods that I don't get to eat. But as time creeps into third trimester, I really feel "I'm so freaking pregnant!", and life starts to get scary. All the baby shopping we need to do... And all the money we have to spend. The most scary of all, all the wailings we're going to face.
I've moved on from reading a pregnancy book, to a nursing book. That's how fast the pregnancy feels!
I constantly tell my baby to be stay in my belly patiently. To grow properly, and also to give us some time to really prepare everything upon his arrival :P (The room is in a complete mess!)
10 more weeks to go, wish me luck!

为自己做点事
怀孕期间，可以为自己做的事，就是好好照顾自己。
照顾自己有很多种方式。对我而言，就是要过得健康、吃得健康、尽量享受这段美好时光（以后小瓜出来，只能负责吃喝拉屎了）、趁机看点书、计划自己和宝宝的将来（还有男人）、看部好电影、听听音乐⋯⋯
总而言之，是让自己快乐。
肚子里带着一个生命，让人往往有某种加倍的感觉。当我吃得健康，我很放心，因为我知道宝宝也会健康（至少这样子想比较放心）；反之，当我偶尔做了我不该做的事，罪恶感也是加倍的。
为了这种加倍的感觉，我往往还是克制着自己，还是乖一点比较好。这样子，是加倍的放心 :)
每天傍晚，是我的好时光。下了班，我总是选择步行回家。说近不近，说远不远。慢慢步行30分钟，是我每天给自己的运动。我享受一天工做下来的单独时间。
回到家里，如果肚子没有呱呱叫，我还可以做半小时的瑜伽，让自己真的平静下来。
然后才开始下厨，弄个简单的晚餐。然后，就上上网，看看书，听听音乐。男人回来的时候，聊聊天。到时间，就睡觉。
瑜伽老师总是说，This is the only time you're breathing for someone else。谁说不是？

Things I Miss Occasionally as a Pregnant Woman (con't)
To follow up the list I created last night (I knew there are more!).
No. 10: I miss jumping/dancing
I don't really dance or jump a lot, at least not in public eye. However, occasionally when I'm in the mood, and when there's nobody at home. I blast the speakers with my favourite tunes that fit the mood and start randomly skipping, dancing, moving around the house. This, is another "no no" while I'm pregnant, and I kinda miss it.
Some time down the road, I will get to do it like Carlton again, well, not as dramatic as he is! But I'm sure you get the idea now :)

Things I Miss Occasionally as a Pregnant Woman
I'm 25 weeks and 5 days pregnant today.
There are so many things a pregnant woman can't do. And occasionally, I do miss some of them.
There are so many things a pregnant woman can't do. And occasionally, I do miss some of them.
- The runny egg yolks
From egg Benedict or simply sunny side up or half boiled eggs! Even though this list is not created to priority, but this definitely goes to the top of the list. Eggs and potatoes are always my favourite food. Not being able to eat eggs in the way I like, is a torture. Fully cooked eggs are so boring!Even the failed Onsen Tamago I failed to create in year 2010 will be the most delicious food to me now - The crunchy texture of fresh greens in the salad, in the sandwich, in the burger!
I'm the cafe kinda person. I like to patron cafe occasionally with my-cafe-kinda-friend (you know who you are). I miss the freshly made sandwiches, burgers or salads that always come with generous amount of lettuce or rocket salad! Yum! Now, I can only imagine that in my daydreams. Or make a fool out of myself to order BLT without lettuce and tomatoes (duh!)Sandwich... With fresh greens... I used to make this salad quite often for my dinner - The fresh and sweet salmon sashimi
Damn! I hate the fact I don't get to eat salmon sashimi and all the types of sushi I adore. The Man and I patron Japanese restaurant almost every weekend, if not every fortnightly. We have our favourite Jap restaurants list and everytime we go, we order the very same thing. Salmon sashimi is always one of them! DAMN!!!!Sashimi from my fave Jap restaurant in Penang, Miraku Sushi platter - Jump into the pool or sea
How I hated the fact that I fell behind the crowd of tourists to chase the whale shark simply because I can't jump into the sea from the boat. The Man and the guys on the boat have to help me to get down to the sea, VERY SLOWLY! Like, VERY VERY SLOW! - Fit into any clothes or any space I need
No kidding! Only after I have to pack some of my clothes to make space for new maternity clothings in my wardrobe, I started to appreciate the slimmer me. I didn't think I was thin, but now I think I was. - Swimming as fast as I could
I swim at least once every week before I am pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I still swim when I can when I found out I'm carrying a new life. But before the pregnancy, I always try to "compete" with the colleague I swam with. I never beat him, he's fast and physically it's impossible because he's 1.8m tall. Now, I can only swim that slow, so that I don't get breathless. - Running or Gym
Even though in some websites, they still encourage mothers to run slowly. But it's not my options, I knew if I would do that, the whole kampong of people who care about me will probably chase me with a parang. I didn't run very fast, but running around for half an hour, is really an effective way of relieving stresses. But it isn't too bad now, I walk for half an hour when I can :) - The freedom of ordering coffee whenever I want to
I still drink coffee occasionally, once in a few weeks during my pregnancy. However, drinking coffee isn't something to wake me up anymore over the years. I order because I like the aroma, because I do not have any other things in the menu that I feel like I want to drink. If you don't give me the coffee, I won't die of cravings, I won't die of tiredness. I just simply like the aroma. And I can drink them in the mornings, or at nights. It has no effect on me. It's no longer the case now, I had a cup of kopi at 4pm, I couldn't sleep until 3am. My body no longer accustom to caffeine.I like coffee so much, I tried making different variations of coffee at home - Able to lie on my back and lift my legs
No, we pregnant women are not supposed to do that, because that will strain our lower back and cause more pain. So no, I have been consciously and unconsciously trying to control myself in my sleep, to not sleep on my back. It's really hard. There are times when The Man woke me up to flip me to my side.Admiring my shoes or my toes is not something as easy as it was
I am surprise the list stop at 9! I thought it should be longer, or maybe I just forgot (another sign of my pregnancy).
Perhaps I'll continue with them when I remember.
You'll notice I've used all the old photos in the post. Since I can't do any of them, I seriously don't have any new pictures for now.
Every pregnant woman has a different list, what's yours?

When There's No Space, I Create One
It happened during my 23 weeks.
On a lovely Friday, I started to notice a tinge of pain in my tummy. It happened when I changed my positions, from standing to sitting, from squatting to sitting, from half lying down to sitting upright etc. I was alarmed by that, I thought something seem weird.
At home before I slept, it got worse. It hurt when I lied on the bed. It hurts when I tried to get up. It hurts no matter what I tried to do. I was worried so I started to flip through my book, trying to understand what could be the cause for abdominal pain.
It helped a lot when the signs that I have to worry about (I googled in between the pains), supposed to be abdominal pain with bleeding and lots of discharge. It calm me down a little. Then I started to sing to the baby, hoping to soothe things out for both of us.
Even with that pain, I insisted to attend my weekly prenatal yoga on Saturday. I thought I could have just stop anytime if I didn't feel comfortable. To my surprise, the pain stopped during the class, and some time after the class.
Due to the fact that prenatal poses emphasize a lot on creating space in the body, I started to suspect that's what the Little Bey tried to do, creating space in my-apparently-not-big-enough-for-him-tummy.
So I started to observe my tummy whenever it hurts. When the pain was in the left, my tummy skew to the left. When the pain was at the bottom, my tummy skew towards the bottom. The pain lasted for a few seconds and then relieved.
All these sensations continued until Sunday. I tried my best to do more stretching than I normally do. And Tuesday, everything stopped.
And now (I wrote this on Tuesday), I noticed my tummy got bigger than yesterday.
So I guess Little Bey had made it, he stretched the hell out of my tummy to create enough space for him!
( Because of the fact that I can't see how he stretched in my body, I can only imagine, so no picture for this entry. So use your imagination (: )

看见你的脸
怀孕二十二周，又是时候进行另一个检测。
最高兴的还是听见radiologist说，一切看起来正常，下星期可以拿报告。
Bonus，就是看见被脐带遮住了一点点的小脸蛋。偶尔还把小手放在脸颊上，原来这么小就pattern多多。
二十二周的检测，基本上没有那么复杂。没有验血，也不必验尿，只需要照照超声波。为什么照超声波呢？这是为了确保宝宝的成长一切顺利正常，量一量身长、头颅的大小、心脏的四个心房、十只小手指小脚趾⋯⋯虽然说不是什么复杂的测验，但是也要宝宝的合作，才能够在半小时内顺利地完成。
二十二周，宝宝没有第一次那么羞涩，但也不代表全程合作。检测的过程当中，也不乏美美的radiologist很努力的在寻找各种角度。偶尔推推我的肚子，还跟他说：“宝宝，快转啊！”。哈哈哈！

It's a Boy!
During the first few weeks of the pregnancy, The Man had already dreamt that we have a baby boy. And he's incredibly intelligent, the first time we brought him home, he's already talking to the great grandfather!
Okay, it's just a dream.
However, somewhere down the road, I had a dream too! I dreamt we have a baby girl. I have even clearer vision of her, she has small eyes, definitely mono eyelid like me. And the best part was, she's funny, she's making everybody laugh!
Okay, again, it's just a dream!
I knew that we get to know the gender of baby during the detailed scan on 21-22 weeks. However, during the regular visit one month before the detailed scan, I was already eager to know. Mainly due to the dreams from both of us, and also I thought if I knew the gender earlier, it'll make my shopping easier. (It's not the case, I didn't start shopping until the baby was 23 weeks)
The doctor asked me if I'd like to know. Well of course! So we scanned, even though during that week, she wasn't planning an ultrasound scan for me.
I've already communicated well with the baby the day before. Things I learned from people who are more experienced. We massaged the belly, and told the baby to have the legs open as wide as possible, do not be shy, we want to see you!~
And Tadaa!!!!~~~~
(Talking to the baby works!)
(Talking to the baby works!)
It's a boy!

带着宝宝追鲸鲨
鲸鲨一直是我想在大海洋里碰见的生物之一。
我曾经在大海看过海豚，遇见鲨鱼，也同无数的海龟一起同游。接下来，真该看鲸鲨了。
在马尔代夫住的Holiday Inn Kandooma Resort，有带游客出海观赏鲸鲨的团，每位游客199美金（不含税）。看到这个天价，我还是忍着痛，参加了。
男人一直很担心我带着肚子里的12周宝宝，没能浮浅看鲸鲨。但是，到马尔代夫前，已经向医生询问，只要我不劳累，游泳浮浅都是没有问题的运动。再加上，我对自己游泳还是有一定的信心，我也就很坚持，男人也就顺服了。
我不是一个游泳好手。不过，从小爱玩水，到学游泳，到后期有位同事补助指导，我的游泳确实进步不少。但是，我万万没想到，带着那个看似不太大的肚子（12周的时候，我只像个肚腩比较大的女人），我还是气喘喘的，用尽所能才看见鲸鲨，悠悠的在我几米之下游走了。
看鲸鲨，根本不象我想象中那样，优游自在。可以在水里慢慢享受，同鲸鲨共享一个空间的乐趣。
完全不是那回事！
第一个问题，就是先得知道鲸鲨究竟在哪里。怎么知道呢？船只到了鲸鲨经常出没的地方，就会开得很慢很慢，然后，大家都开始注意水里游得和船只的速度差不多，黑黑大大的，就是鲸鲨。可是这样找，一点都不容易，结果，用了好久好久的时间，我们都只在一个好大的范围内，在船上呆呆的看着大海。
第二个问题，世上像我一样想看野鲸鲨的人太多了。不同的酒店，开着他们的船只，大概有8－9艘吧，在那个范围里转了又转，都在比赛，是谁的船只先把鲸鲨找到。一旦有鲸鲨出没，船只没命似的奔到鲸鲨那儿，大家一并地跳进海里。
第三个问题，鲸鲨速度虽然不快，大约时速5公里。不过对人类来说，还是很快的。（我怀孕之前，平均时速2.5公里）大伙儿匆匆忙忙跳进海里之际，已经困扰了鲸鲨优游自在的生活。很快的，鲸鲨就逃走了。
所以，花了199美金，用了两个小时抵达鲸鲨出没之地，用了一个小时（或更多，忘了）的时间把鲸鲨找出来，看见鲸鲨，就是那一刹那！就那一瞬间。
虽然短短的时间，我还是挺像受的。鲸鲨很优游自在地在我们愚蠢游客们之下，看似小小的，带团的说，这小鲸鲨大概是8－9米长，一点都不算小。真可惜，就是没看见它妈妈，要不然，庞然35米的鲸鲨，应该很惊人！
和8－9艘船只的游客争先恐后看鲸鲨，本来就不容易。我还行动比大家慢（不能直接跳进海），又担心被别人踢，只好落单在后，由男人陪我（好可怜的男人）。所幸，虽然落在后头，反而正是鲸鲨出没的点儿。
鲸鲨没两下子就“闪鱼”了。鱼闪人散，这时，面临的问题，就是如何游回船只。顶着一个肚子，在大海洋里游泳一点儿都不容易，我经常得停下，而且还同其他游客借了float，这样游游停停的，才好不容易上船了。这对于我来说，几乎是一个“侮辱”。没想到，这个看似小肚腩的体型，已经开始让步了。
话虽如此，看见了鲸鲨，我还是当天，最开心的孕妈妈！:)

宝贝不合作
怀孕在11周到13周之间，就会进行基本的pregnancy screening test和Down Syndrome test。
这些test对妈妈们来说，基本上不是什么复杂的程序。到了医院挂了号，就等验尿（基本上每个月的产检都做最基本验尿程序，只不过第11周到13周的这次是比较详细的）。然后，就验血。
验血没有什么大问题，偏偏本小姐最怕针筒。一听见护士说需要抽三支小管，我就事先告诉护士，我怕怕！怕就怕，痛就痛，不需要害羞说不出。护士很好，跟我东拉西扯，聊天说地，验血过程一下子就过去了。
验血验尿，基本上就是妈妈的身体检查，胆固醇、血糖、血型（我还是刚刚知道血型！），还有孕期荷尔蒙。医院会运用体内荷尔蒙数量，来推断Down Syndrome baby的风险。
抽完样本以后，就等ultrasound了。不过，这一个scan就比较特别，因为是Down Syndrome test，医院要量好多好多东西。而能不能够量就靠宝宝的姿势了。而我肚子里的宝宝，正在耍脾气⋯⋯
不管radiologist怎么照，宝宝都用小屁屁对着她。搞了老半天，radiologist要我坐起来、躺下来、左侧躺、右侧躺、笑！、咳嗽⋯⋯不管我做什么，宝宝就是只让人看屁股！结果，漂亮的radiologist真的没辙了，叫我在医院走走，买点吃的还是喝的，过一阵子才回来。还安慰我，说今早也有一位妈妈也遇见同样的问题。从早上照到下午，什么都没照到。结果大家都放弃，妈妈只好隔天再回医院。
哇！我听了怕怕！我不想隔天再回医院啊！结果一路走到医院外买豆浆，一路用心灵感应和宝宝沟通，拜托拜托，别让我明天再回来，你转过身让我们看看你好不好？～～
不知道究竟是走路有效？还是喝豆浆？还是沟通？宝宝真地转了过来，还翘起二郎腿！
所有该做的都做以后，我们就飞到马尔代夫度假。第一次孕吐也就在那周发生，不过为了美景，为了海洋，为了鲸鲨，为了阳光，一切值得！
度假回来，医生要见见我，看看我，确保我和宝宝都没事，然后告诉我们报告出来一切正常！说我从来都不担心是骗人的，虽然没有无时无刻的担心，不过还真的有担心过。医生说没事，就放心了。
当妈妈就是这样吧？宝宝都还没有出来，就有担心的事儿了。

头晕晕
头晕晕，晕车晕船是我怀胎以来，新加入的身体变化。
农历新年以后，我因为工作的关系，需要到柔佛走一趟。一开始上路，我已经稍微不舒服。到了关卡，开始堵车，我的胃更是快翻了。一旦过了马来西亚关卡，我请同事让我坐前座才稍微变好。
心里一直在想，是不是怀孕了，身体开始不适应才出现晕车的状况？
晕车已经很痛苦了，那趟路程还特别的堵车，来回新加坡柔佛，花了我们四个小时。结果回到办公室，我已经晕陀陀了。
怀孕前的我，可是在车上看书的人。这种变化对我来说，非同小可。
还好，没有晕飞机（摸木！）。
不过，晕船是另一回事。到了马里机场，酒店员工已经准备接待。飞到马里之前，我已经交待过我怀孕的状况。酒店的服务特别的好，已经做好准备特别招待我。可是，再怎么好的招待，天空突然下起雨来，也不是他们可以控制的。
一般从机场到酒店的船程要45分钟，而我们大概用了两倍的时间。不过，我们在船上还不到15分钟吧，开始行雷闪电，下起大雨来。原本平静的海洋突然颠覆起来。我的胃开始很辛苦地撑住。
最糟糕的便是GPS在大雨中失灵了，没有了GPS，因为大雨而看不到前方的路，船只无法前行，只好在海中摇摇晃晃。三两下之后，我就开始吐。把我怀孕以来，第一次的孕吐奉献给印度洋。全程，总共吐了两次。
还好隔几天，天气都特别合作，乘船出海不再有状况。不过，因为这些新添加的状况，我也变得比较小心。要是乘车出远门，我会带点酸梅等类的食品在身上，以防再出状况。
先是口味的转变，再来motion sickness，接下来还有什么在等待？

频频肚子饿，却不知道该吃什么
每个人对怀孕都有自己的一套。好多不可以吃的，好多不可以做的事情。
可是，一人一套，每人不同，结果听多了就越来越混淆。究竟谁对谁错，谁能说清楚。所以后来，我决定听医生的，当然还有妈妈的。妈妈生了我们三个，虽然没有牛高马壮（基因问题），我们也都健健康康的，妈妈一直以来被姑丈称“铁做”的。所以，依照妈妈的，应该没错。
农历新年回来以后，不知是否新年不停地大吃大喝，把胃口撑大了。回到这里，可痛苦。每两个小时就肚子饿。在这种非常时期，不是说想要吃就吃，太多吃不得的食物。结果，肚子饿变成一种负担。
究竟应该吃什么！！！！
正当胃口渐渐恢复正常，大概是8－9周左右吧，我的味蕾开始出现让人极度不舒服的变化。我的舌尖上，无缘无故出现让人难受的metallic taste。这个taste可让我痛苦了。好多食物吃进嘴巴里，就变另一种味道。好多食物渐渐变得不好吃，尤其好多蔬菜让人觉得难以下咽。但逼于无奈，宝宝健康成长需要蔬菜，我还是逼自己吃。
这味道让我开始嗜甜嗜辣。唯有这两种味道可以帮助掩蔽metallic taste。至于甜食，最有效的便是水果，因此，我变成无水果不欢，每天下午晚上各一种水果，柳橙、苹果、梨子、芒果、草莓、杨桃、香蕉、猕猴桃等等，天天替换，反正家里这少有两种水果，办公室里还有一种。不过，最常吃的还是苹果，最爱。
怀孕真的让人变得很奇怪！
除了味蕾的变化，我本身没有对任何食物有什么craving。这也成为我头疼的问题之一。多数孕妇觉得craving造成了麻烦的问题，想要吃某种食物的时候，遍寻不着。而我呢，吃饭时间到了，面对种种的选择，一个都看不上。没有一样特别想吃。结果同同事吃午餐的时候，在小贩中心转了一圈又一圈，看了一次又一次，都不知道该吃什么。很多时候，都是为了吃而吃。
晚餐比较容易决定，总是由雪柜里有什么就煮什么，就不必想太多。 而且，雪柜里的groceries多半是同男人周末一同买的，他已经帮我决定了一半 :)

顶着肚子过新年
带着这个全家上下都开心的消息回家过年，其实不容易。
第一、新年之前买的裤子，竟然已经开始穿不下，或者穿的不舒服。幸好，我有常常有好“空头”的妈妈和姐姐，除夕在娘家吃过团圆饭之后，我们去做最后的努力，而买了一些比较宽松和舒适的衣服。年除夕买新衣，我还是头一遭。
第二、有太多太多不可以吃的东西。咖啡和酒，一丁点都沾不了。而且，生菜也不可碰！偏偏我们在家过年，每年都有娘惹的“鱿鱼炒”。而这道菜最好吃的方法，就是把菜裹在生菜里。而我就吃不得！有得看没得吃，你说多可怜！
第三、就是不可以告诉别人我怀孕了。华人的习俗，在怀孕初期的三个月，是不可以告知别人的。因为怀孕初期有可能会有点不稳定，因此，多多少少有pantang。不告诉别人不打紧，可是有人问我呢？我该怎么答？大年初一头一天，我的二姨眼睛尖尖，那个五周没多大的肚子就被她看穿了！结果，说什么不让人知道，没三两下，全家上上下下都知道！
回家过年之后没多久，又到产检的时候。安排了晚上的时间，这样男人也可以一同去。没想到，才相差两周，就可以听见宝宝的心跳。而且，四肢也刚刚长出来，在超音波里可以看见。
或许已经完全接受了我即将当妈妈的事实，第二次产检比第一次轻松得多。医生也同样察觉了，真不好意思。照超声波的时候，医生说，是一个宝宝。我松了一口气！两个太难照顾了。
根据医生的计算，预产期将会是9月25日。
真奇妙，第一次照超声波的时候，宝宝才一个圆圈般大小。第二次，宝宝已在成型中，可清晰听见如火车班的心跳声，还有刚刚长出的limb buds，而且她／他已经15.7mm大了！

我的第一次
对于分享第一次，我挣扎了一阵子。
该不该写、可不可以公布、该不该分享、如何开口……都是我考虑过的问题，毕竟第一次，而且是何等私人的题目，不斟酌斟酌一下都不可以。
我知道我不想在面子书上分享，那里总有一群自以为很认识你的朋友，喧喧嚷嚷，搞到很不好意思。但是，我习惯写部落，而且很想为自己记录这个初体验。所以，一番思考以后，我决定在我浏览次数很低的部落给自己做一个记录。
今天，我怀胎15周5天。 发现怀孕以来，身体陆陆续续出现了变化。不过为了有更好的纪录，我决定chronologically地写，就从我发现自己怀孕的那一刻开始。
发现怀孕了！
对于经期正常的女生们，发现怀孕并不太困难。经期如果迟来报道，我们多半就疑神疑鬼。
疑神疑鬼那一周，我一直放不下“月经还没报道”这回事。不管我在做什么事，我都一直“想念”着我的大姨妈。而且，很努力地回想，究竟是什么时候干的好事？而男人更无辜，我每天每夜都在问他。“你觉得我是不是怀孕？”、“为什么大姨妈还没有来？不可能不来的。”、“我觉得不是怀孕啦，可能太压力，迟来报道。”……
这些种种问题足足困扰了我一周，折磨了我一周。折腾一番，我谴男人买验孕棒回家。而他在药房看见买一送一，就带了两支回来。
试用验孕棒之前，我一直执着的认为我没有怀孕。
第一、我的身体曾经几次为了我有更完美的假日，而自动把经期提早或延迟。而恰巧，还有两个月我们就要到马尔代夫度假，我认为那是我的身体听见假日的呼唤，而自己改期了。
第二、男人买验孕棒的那一天，我有点儿spotting。我以为，那就是月经快来了。
但是，由于我处于denial stage，我也忽略了一些微症状。比如说，在我没有改变饮食习惯的情况之下，体重增加一公斤；比如说，即便每天努力做运动，肚腩好像越来越大；比如说，经期前多半出现的青春痘并没有报道；比如说，胸部胀胀的，比平时月经来潮时严重。
Spotting之后，足足一天，月经还是不见踪影。我实在按耐不住，不管验孕棒指示上说明，最好用早晨的第一泡尿，下午时分就验了。
Negative！
我还因此喝了两杯咖啡！
结果的结果，两天以后，迟迟不见的大姨妈还是不来。男人说，肯定是怀孕了。
我还记得周一早上，那是回家过年之前两天。我按照指示，早晨的第一泡尿验了。
Positive！双线！
我以为自己眼睛蒙，赶紧戴上眼镜再看一次，再让男人看一次。我盯着验孕棒可能足足有十分钟吧，才渐渐接受事实。
验孕棒也有不准的时候，因此看妇产科医生要紧，尤其一定要在回家过年前把事情搞清楚。我打电话，足足打了三间诊所，终于都有人肯收留我walk in。我也不管三七二十一，请假就到诊所等。
等待的时候，有多煎熬我就不说了。只能够说，还好有部手机，还有两位陪我无聊的朋友，我才安然度过两个小时。
我并不知道怀孕的初期，超音波是不从肚皮照的。医生要我打开双脚的那一刻，原本已经非常紧张的我，更是雪上加霜。医生很不解，为什么你这么紧张？她没辙，一直逗我说话，才勉强照到了。
她用短短的两秒，指着荧幕上的黑点，然后说：“Mommy, you're pregnant。”
真是天旋地转～～～
大家请别误会，我并不是讨厌小孩，而是……在没有计划的情况之下怀孕了，我有点难以接受。
我趁着请了假，带着消息到男人那里一起吃午餐。男人很高兴，而我还是那幅“我接受不到咯”的样子。饭后回家，我拨电话给爸爸妈妈。可是，爸爸接电话的那一刻，我竟然没办法传达消息……没路用。爸爸把电话交给妈妈，我才说了。可能是女人的东西吧～
妈妈听得出来我好有点恍惚，叫我休息，好好睡觉。
说也奇怪，我一觉醒来，早上的讯息也渐渐沉淀在心里。
一觉醒来，我跟自己说，是的，我快当妈妈了。
