9 mths and beyond
The first thing Dr Aziz said when he saw me "saya tgk awak dah mcm tak larat" haha..
I put on a kg plus ..now at 81kg (omg), baby's at normal(thank god) 3.1kg and my sugar's level a bit higher than normal. He reckoned it must be all the potatoes that I consumed after I informed him that I'm not much of a sweets person. But I think I need to drink more plain water ..I'm v bad at that..its always pokka green tea for me..haha
I tell him I want to see the baby face but again I failed to make sense of the scan. He was going.."ah tu mata dia..pipi dia..mulut dia" and I just "oh eh?" ahaha and shai was like " oh i see it.." yeah rite ahhaa
I guess I just have to wait for another 2 weeks to see my baby's face...2 weeks v fast right?! 2 WEEKS!!! YIKES!
anyway i'm going back for another checkup this 20th to determine whether I'll be induced. Dr Aziz says if my sugar level still the same or higher I may need to be induced or if my baby has upgraded to L size also need to be induced. He said he prefered to deliver a size M baby haha..nak induce jer tau..But i'm ok with it la..whatever he says hahah..I'm a very good patient..everything ok wan
he ask me whether I want to start my maternity leave..but I've decided to leave it till later .. maybe a few days before I'm induced.Don't want to waste the maternity leave as I'm not going to take any unpaid leave after that.
and and I managed to get hold of some akar fatimah thanks to
hana's fren heriati who has extras :) It was my first time doing this....so not sure whether it has 'bloom' or not la. The first time I soaked it like ok ok la..it opened up but recently it seemed to open up more la..I don't really soak it every day and haven't muster the courage yet to actually consume the water haha so i just pour it over my tummy..
I took the below picture few days back after soaking it for less than 12hours..

The akar fatimah curls back upon drying .. so cool ahha
ok so i'll update again in a week's time ..:)
Have a great weekend!
