14 weeks

Monday baru2 ni saya ada appointment dengan di KL Fertility, doctor scan and everything looks normal. Syukur. And I finally graduated from the fertility clinic, yeay. It was bittersweet experience for me and hubby and I have nothing but enough attention, support and care from my doctor and the entire staff of the clinic. I have been their patient for a year plus now and they have help to make my dreams come true (dengan izin Allah).

Doctor ada pesan, "Nanti dah bersalin don't forget to show me your baby ya", and I answered, "Doctor doa2 kan la saya!". Lupa plak dia bukan muslim hehe.

Dan lupa pulak saya nak mintak print out scan baby tu. Excited sebab dah lepas 14 weeks kot.

Today, I can feel the baby moving. Entah perasaan saya atau apa sebab baru je 14 weeks, tapi betul saya dapat rasa sejak 2-3 hari ni. Saya cerita dengan husband, he sounded happy. This is what I found:

Fetal movement, or "quickening," can occur as early as 14 week, so be alert for fluttering sensations in your belly. If you can't feel them, however, don't worry, they're more likely to occur between the 18th to 22nd week.

Tapi morning sickness saya masih belum menurun. Bab selera makan tu not so bad la, tapi nausea masih ada. Hari ni satu hari saya flat. Walaupun lemah, tapi bila dapat rasa baby sesekali beri respon dan saya dapat rasa di perut, saya happy. Mummy/mama sanggup berkorban apa saja untuk baby tauu.

Tak sabar tunggu perut ni besar dan rasa baby gerak2 :)

13 weeks

Tadi pergi scan di klinik UMRA. ye sekarang saya check up monthly di sini. Kenapa saya ke sini? Walaupun ianya klinik kecik je, tapi saya sangat selesa dengan doctor di sini, iaitu Dr. Rafi dan isterinya, Dr. Ummul. Dulu tahun 2007-2008 saya ada ke sini seek advice, amik clomid dan buat 2 kali IUI disini, tapi takde rezeki.

Btw, hari ni saya di scan oleh sonographer dari PPUM di Klinik Umra. Kira scan hari ni detail skit la. Ukur tangan, kepala, abdomen. Alhamdulillah semua normal. Ni la baby kami @ 13w5d :)

Saya plan nak jumpa 2 klinik/hospital dalam satu masa. 1 klinik UMRA dan satu lagi klinik yang disuggest oleh Dr. Prashant (Dr. yang buat IVF) iaitu FMGC di JayaOne. Bersalin di mana? Biar masa yang menentukan.

DI FMGC ni waktu menunggu mmg lama. Itu je yang saya kurang sabar skit. Tapi doctor nya mmg tiptop. Mak saya kata, biasalah tu, good gynae mmg long queue. Tapi kena tunggu sampai 2-3 jam untuk sampai turn kita tu biasa ke?

Ke Klinik Kerajaan

Setelah di suggest oleh parents, doctor dan melalui pembacaan (forum), saya ke Klinik Komuniti Kesihatan berdekatan rumah. Orang kata bila ada buku merah ni senang sikit in case of emergency, manalah saya di 'tolak' ke government hospital walaupun routine check up dia private hospital. Tapi doctor saya kata kalau hospital swasta yang lengkap facilitiesnya, takde dorang nak push2 case (sperti preterm labour) ke govt hosp, tapi bersiap sedia la deposit minimum 10K. Hmmm we'll see about that.


Saya ke klinik kesihatan ni hari Isnin. The overall process took about 3 hours, not that the waiting period is long this time, it's just that there's a lot of test to go through.

I reach about 9.45am, tinggalkan maklumat2 yang diperlukan di counter pendaftaran dan ambil nombor.


Lepas sejam they call my name and start to weight me and measure my height. Thereafter, verified those particular that they ask us to bring along. Kemudian ambil tekanan darah saya.

Actually before breakfast, husband singgah sekejap tanya nurse apa perlu dibawa. Basically, all we need to bring are sijil nikah, MyKad, previous buku merah (saya ada sebab pernah ke HTAR masa mengandung tahun 2006, sesiapa takde tak perlu lah) and latest scan or bukti mengesahkan kehamilan.


So sementara tunggu turn saya susun2 la file ni. File ni detail2 pasal IVF treament dan pregnancy saya.

Lepas tu saya diminta ke kaunter lain untuk urine test (gula) and hemoglobin test. Dan kebilik lain untuk blood test (HIV test).

Then wait for a moment for check-up, nurse ask me to take off my bra, rest on the bed, doing breast check-up for me while explaining whether my breast are suitable for breastfeeding or not. Then advise me on what to eat and prescribe me folic acid, vitamin C, B complex and Iron (sebab hemglobin test saya agak rendah) which need to be taken at pharmacy unit.


Lengkap ujian2 di klinik nii, saya suka. Nurse2 pun explain dengan bagus tapi doctornya kurang bercakap. Not to what I expected. Mungkin doctor di sini masih muda dan not fair la untuk saya bandingkan dengan gynae yang berpengalaman bertahun2. Oh dan mesin scannya pun agak kurang canggih la, macam zaman dulu2 punya.

I was scheduled for check-up amonth after this check-up, hopefully saya akan pergi :-)

10 weeks

Hari ni pergi scan, 10w4d. Baby dah 32.8mm, heartbeat masih maintain at 179bpm. Alhamdulillah. Tentang buasir saya tu, dah ok. Cuma saya jenis buang air no. 2 (besar) 2 hari sekali. Doctor kata it's not good, saya patut gi toilet hari2. So dia suruh saya ambil ubat duphalac untuk memudakan proses pelawasan saya :) Disamping tu makan la betik banyak2 hehe.

This is my baby :D

Happy jumpa doctor, husband bawak saya jalan ke Pavillion. Dapat la shopping baju sehelai dan makan Nandos. Nyum2, baru la dapat merasai nikmat makanan hehe. Lalu je makan. Lepas ni kena selalu la pergi Nandos ye ;)

Kurang air

Lanjutan dari entry saya sebelum ni, di mana saya kata saya ada spotting/ bleeding skit kan? Semalam saya discover kenapasay bleeding. Yg berdarah tu di belakang, bukan dari depan. Paham?

Saya ada buasir :( Buasir ni mmg biasa untuk wanita mengandung, kata doctor la. Info ada disini.

Ok la kan at least takde kaitan dgn rahim or whatsoever.

Sorry ye terpaksa citer detail skit. I am having a terrible time pooping (buang air besar) and I have to push really hard to get it out. I just don't know what else to do I am afraid of the strain I put on the baby when I push like that- but it gets to where my tummy hurts so bad and like the poo is stuck. Again sorry so gross- but I just am afraid I am gonna hurt the baby.

So my solution is:

• minum dan minum byk air


• makan sayur hijau banyak2


• makan buah spt pisang banyak sebagai pelawas

Tadi baru kena lecture dgn mak. Dia tegur saya aktif sgt, byk berjalan sana sini. Sentap gak la bila kena basuh ni kan. Saya buasir, bukannya vaginal bleeding. Hmm apa2 la.

9 weeks

Pagi ni I have noticed there is some dark brown blood, yang keluar bila saya basuh u-know-where selepas buang air kecil. Agak panic, tapi saya cuba cool down sebab tamau stress. Saya bagitau husband, dia mcm relax je (dalam hati siapa tau kan). Tapi bila check panties, takde stain apa2 pun, hanya ada lepas buang air kecil tadi. 15 min kemudian husband suruh saya call clinic. I called the nurse and dia suruh datang immediately check.

Nurse tu mungkin dah sedia maklum sangat dengan 'history' saya ni yg suka spotting.

Alhamdulillah doc scan and everything seems normal. He said not to worry about it unless it is red blood, and that this happens some pregnancy and if I'm not cramping or it not bright red then, not to worry.

Btw doc gave me Proluton Depot injection, katanya nak bagi rest uterus.

Baby is now 9 weeks 1 day, ukuran CRL 21mm. Hearbeat 179 bpm. For this 2-3 days doc suruh saya byk2 bedrest.

Sebenarnya semalam saya byk berjalan, pergi KWSP la, pergi Tropicana CityMall. Hmm insaf kejap. Lain kali nak berjalan tu berpada2. Tapi syukur sgt semua normal.

Jumpa lagi :)

7 weeks

I had an ultrasound on Wedenesday (6w5d). The baby's heartbeat was detected and was at 123. Alhamdulillah, syukur sangat2. Dapat dengar heartbeat tadi menggunakan alat yang doctor pakai tu, saya lupa namanya. MasyaAllah, rasa nak menangis dengar heartbeat. Dah lama tak rasa saat2 macam ni.

Saya tau masih peringkat awal, tapi at least it's a good sign kan? I read somewhere that after hearing and seeing the heartbeat your risk of miscarriage are lower. Then after you get through your first trimester the chances are really really low.

Doakan dapat melalui semua dengan selamat sehingga bersalin ye. Amin.
