third trimester
week 28 - dec 22
i realised papa boxer which becomes my favourite nightwear since pregnant is expanding at its max. papa cakap, lepas ni dia dah tak boleh pakai all his boxers anymore. takpelah, baby dah membesar dalam perut mama dengan jayanya. nanti upah papa dst with new sets of boxers. as i'm embracing my new third trimester, i learnt that the milk producing gland starts working to producing milk. i haven't 'mooing', not yet but i look forward to. i envision to breastmilk exclusively to baby dst mite after i am convinced that nothing beats mom's milk. baby formula is getting too commercialized nowadays with enhanced formula to compete with the natural goodness of human milk. i hope i'm determine and discipline enough when it comes to milking (via breast pump or breast feeding). with papa dst mite support, i'm confident i will and i can. so, we'll see how well the implementation goes.. so mama, if you start dreaming being a milking cow, that's a good start.. mooo....

our check up today was better than the last session, we waited for 2 hours only. 1st appointment with my gynae went well, no swelling feet, tummy looks okay except she reconfirmed my concern that the weight gain actually goes to the mummy than to the baby he..he.. i had a tetanus jap to cover myself & the baby before his routine 1st short after 1 month and proceed to 2nd doctor's appointment for the 3D scan. it went for about half & hour. alhamdulliah, no abnormalities found and the baby is fairly normal in terms of development ; brain, heart, spine, abdomen, genital and the limbs. it was okay, a bit informative although he has toned really down to layman terms. cuma conclusion to the day killed the excitement. phone bill kena potong. after some short drama before paying the bill, the line has been resumed. sigh.

baby was fine, mama dia je yang tak fine sangat sebab penat menunggu. itupun, after urine and routine checkup went out for morning tea to kill some time. went to pak ngah to mengurut after lunch. ingatkan, pak ngah nak test my skill in puffing and breathing je. rupanya habis sejam setengah tu kena pop kuiz dengan dia - how to handle uri, tungku nanti balut dengan apa, baby nak breastfeed macam mana, lauk pantang, hospital checklist, apa ramuan bertangas, pakai daun apa for tungku.. pergh.. nasib baik ada buat homework sikit, so boleh jugak jawab although can't show him you know all the answers as well. orang tua, biasa la kena ambik hati dia by pretending to be ignaront. anyway, urut was so-so this time as compared the last one. after all, i did not face much soreness except that my feet beginning to swollen a bit. papa dst mite buat bekam sekejap so, by 4 pm we were on the road heading home. this week, minum banyak air kelapa to bersihkan baby.

7 & 8 were chinese new year holidays. so, check up today was the fastest waiting ever. baby is accumulating baby fat. asked about few questions on neer's condition yesterday. dr nora advised 2 stages to be alarmed and march straight to the hospital.
1. when your water start to break or leaking
2. when contraction becoming frequent
may try to have warm shower to overcome the pain. staying at home will make you more at ease and comfortable. but the moment dah kerap to 1 hr, get ready to go to hospital. too early takut boring pulak.
according to her, i have no problem with the baby and placenta, insyaallah. so, any traces of fresh blood should be normal, unless ada bleeding. tapi kalau ikut pak ngah, dia siap suruh try to measure dilation. if 1 - 2 fingers still ok. but the moment dah 4 fingers, ready to board to the hospital. i wonder when the times come i'll be going through all this checklist by myself. papa dst mite nampak macam take note, but tak sure if he can remind me on this. buatnya kalau dua dua panic, tak ke hancur ? btw, baby has been very active especially at night. i was awaken by the strong movement several times, normally around 3 - 4 am. hhmm...

bought baby cot after knowing ikea will be late in getting their supply on board. nice and cute, i will get the cot bumper set that i'd been eying for. those cute little safari.. or at least the neutral version to suit baby boy or girl. anyhow, my check up went well. dr nora highlighted that it won't be anytime soon, so shall wait until edd and give another week after to see the progress. there's good chances for normal delivery too since i have not shown any complications based on my 9 months record. so, i guess i should continue being active, finalized my hospital bag and kemas rumah. air halba tu pun bolehla di di hirup dengan lebih kerap. makan pun sudah sudah la telan yang merapu (buttttt.....shut up!). what i learnt from my check up today :
1. breast pumping and sex will induce labour. don't worry, mature milk will come naturally after delivery. so, simpan dulu breast pump tu.
2. colustrum - is the quality not quantity that matters.
btw, semua orang ada last weekend to visit me - fraya & family, mak, abang & eta. mak buat my fave (and looks like papa dst mite pun dah berjangkit) : lopez de squera. sedapnya tuhan saja yang tahu.
