It has been almost a year since I last touched this space. In case you have not known, Oppa and I welcomed our little not so little now bundle of joy this September. My pregnancy was one of the reasons why I was not able to update as I intended. I had extremely bad morning sickness which stuck to me all the way through my first and second trimester. It was so bad I lost 6kg as at 25th week into my pregnancy.
So what happened was, my EDD (estimated date of delivery) was 09/09/2017. I had an appointment with Dr ST Beh on the 30/08/2017 and I was supposed to see him again in few days' time for my CTG scan. On that very night, we were watching The Legend of the Condor Heroes and headed for bed at around 2am. As usual, I played with my phone and was about to sleep at 3/4 am. It was then I felt like I needed to shit. So I went to the toilet but after a long 'squeezing' session, I was unable to poop. I also started to feel a little discomfort, like constipating gastric pain. I headed to bed without thinking much but the pain just kept recurring. I started to wonder if it is contractions that I am experiencing. I started timing them. Dr ST Beh advised that once contractions are at 5 minutes interval, head for the hospital straight. Mine was 1.5 to 2 minutes interval. We were still unsure if it is true contractions and we stayed in bed till 545am, when we decided to head for the hospital.
