My wish for a gentle birth

i've been neglecting this blog for soo long. hope this entry will be a start of a better blog management in the future!

i am now 37weeks 6 days pregnant according to what to expect apps in my iphone. so eager to meet the baby. currently im focusing on this...

purchased this book during the end of second semester from www.bookdepository.co.uk (free worldwide shipping!) after failing to find it in MPH stores. plus its way cheaper than buying from the store but u only have to wait a while for it to arrive. mine took about 7-10 days.

I've only finished reading it about 2 weeks ago. I know im a bit late in my preparation towards gentle birth but thats better than knowing nothing, right?

whats covered in this book:

- how to overcome fear of childbirth
- how fear translate to difficulties during birth
- how our uterus works during surges (contractions)
- breathing methods - slow breathing, sleep breathing and birth breathing
- visualisation methods for relaxation
- exercises for preggy mommies
- birthing positions
- the benefits of Kegel exercise, perineal massage, etc
- example of birth plan
- so much more

some of the nice encouraging quotes found in the book

so if you have traumatic birth or just wanted to experience orgasmic birth (yes, it can happen!), you got to try read this book.

there's one thing i would really want to do but have no rezeki so far is to attend one of the classes offered. most of them are in KL btw. would make do with the book and internet.

Wish me a safe, natural and gentle birth! InsyaAllah

I'm pregnant again!

Alhamdulillah sgt bersyukur kpd Allah sbb im pregnant again! Ive calculated thiS myself n my EDD is on 7th Feb 2013. Oh well our birthdays are all so close apart.. Im now 10weeks preggy n been having tons of morning sickness symptoms. Morning to night sickness. Im hoping for a boy but im ok with a girl.. But my mom n dad esp wants a guy in the family. There are sure lots of girls in our house! As for Zara, i think its true what they say, pe'el bertambah2 bile kakak nak adik. She constantly ask me to dukung her. It sure is challenging being pregnant with a toddler around. Nasib baik i have my wonderful wonderfl husband around. He does all the cooking (only occasionally cos i cant stand the smell of anything cooked in oil!), laundry, tKing care or Zara. I cant even change her diaper cos the smell is too much for my nose. Im currently using dispo cos cant stand the smell when it comes to laundry time. Hope its only teporary n i'll be able to use cloth diapers again in my second trimester.. Im now looking for unscented shampoo n shower gel cos i cant stand the smell of once-very-fragrant toileteries!

35oz challenge - the result

ok, this post is not anything grand like the title at all.hehe.

success!

i did managed to get the 35oz mark. i even got 38oz. horray!

but the sad thing is, my daughter was not given the EBM while i was away.. she was given at first, then my mom bring her to my sis' house in KL n didnt bring any EBM. she did only manage to finish about 10oz for a day at my MIL's.. :(

oh well, that is such a loonngg time ago, it's practically a history!

My precious EBM

Uh, it's so devastating to hear from my hubby that the electric were out for one whole day yesterday at my MIL's. There was an accident nearby which resulted in a blackout session at the area. And he totally forgotten about my frozen EBM!! as soon as he realised it, he immediately brought it to my mom's house. They (the EBM bags) are now safely tucked in my mom's deep freezer. Pheww....

I am now in Perth, Australia!

I have safely landed on 19th Dec 2011 on Perth Australia! The weather is very sunny but still need a cardigan tho cause the wind is so strong menyucuk2 smpai tulang.brrr!

No sign of miss P

My period is almost 2 weeks late. Should i be worried? Bought a pregnancy test kit just now but waiting for the morning to use it since i heard that thats the most effective time to test. Could it be from the fenugreek pills im taking? It doesnt state to have that side effect on the bottle but logically the pills would stimulates the lactating glands thus making the uterus contract which means the period would be affected? Not sure. Personally, i dont feel a bit like pregnant so im not really worried. Well, we'll see how the test goes tomorrow. And i might ask the seller about this..
