I'm writing this blog to pen down my feelings and emotions of my first pregnancy. And hopefully one day, my child will get to read it and understand how he/she came to this world.
My hubby and I really started trying for a baby two months ago. We went to see a gynae in Toa Payoh Central and discovered that I had a bit of problem ovulating. So he prescribed Clomiphene to help me to ovulate. I dutifully took the pills and gave it a try. Thinking we might have to try at least a few months before I can get pregnant.
Never did I thought that we would be successful on our very first try though both me and my hubby were not feeling too well during that period.
My suspicions that I might be pregnant started 2 weeks ago when I started to feel nauseous and tired. My appetite was also not too good and I couldn't eat too much. I also missed my period in June but I didn't think too much about it because this was not the first time I've missed my period before.
The pills that gave us Little Moo Moo!
But my instinct told me that this time could be different. Not wanting to feel disappointed about the pregnancy test kit result, I delayed the test till 14 July morning. I used the Watson's pregnancy test kit. It was supposed to show two solid lines if you are pregnant. After a nervous 5 minutes, I checked the test kit and I saw one solid line and one faint line. ?!?!? What does it mean? Am I pregnant or not? *%@*#@&%*% I decided to drag my hubby to the clinic to find out for certain as it was his off day.
The user unfriendly test kit that I bought.
After waiting for some time, the test is positive and I'm around 6 weeks into my pregnancy! The doctor congratulated both of us. I could see my hubby smiling from ear to ear. I knew he was happy though he said he was worried that he might not be a good father to the child. I was elated! Finally, I can be a mum! The GP advised us to visit the gynae when I am about 8 weeks because I would be able to hear my baby's heartbeat by then. So we decided to wait till end of July for our first visit to the gynae.
We decided to tell my in-laws who lived nearby about the good news. My father-in-law was at home but my mother-in-law went out to visit a friend. So my father-in-law was the first to know of the good news. Later, I sms my sisters to tell them that they would be aunties next year. Yes, my baby would be due next year. He/she would be born in the year of Ox. A Little Moo Moo.
Though we couldn't start buying any thing for the little one till much later, I still couldn't resist the urge to go to Kiddy Palace to see all the cute baby stuffs. Gosh, everything is so expensive. We better start to save up for our Little Moo Moo :>
