Home test kit
Immediately we make appointment with gynae, Dr Tang Boon Nee of SDMC (Sime Darby Medical Centre) to confirm the pregnancy. I've selected Dr Tang as my gynae because of her professionalism, caring and dedicated attitudes towards all her patients. She was highly praised over the websites. It's also because I prefer a lady gynae as I always believe lady gynae would understand lady better.
I went on my own for the first checkup as hubby had to attend an urgent meeting. I was a bit nervous since I was alone there at the hospital. When Dr Tang scanned my tummy, she explained with great patience about my baby I felt so wonderful. Although at that moment, baby was just as small as a size of a pea but what I saw is a live that is trying hard to grow and develop.
Baby at 5weeks old in my tummyBaby is protected inside a pregnancy sac. This shows the start of a life within me.
Went home after check up and was really amazed about my pregnancy. As chinese believe, it's a taboo to go around telling everyone about your pregnancy within the first 3 months. So, we just keep this great news to ourselves first. None of our friends or family members know about it until I was about 3 months pregnant. Dr Tang scheduled another check up within 2 weeks time to let me see baby's heartbeat.

Now can see baby within the pregnancy sac with heart pumping fast.
At 3 months, me and my hubby have to travel to Australia for a reward trip given by my company. It was quite hectic and troublesome for me to travel at that time due to my morning sickness and the selective food that I can take during pregnancy. The long hours flight also wasn's quite comfortable to me as I have to go to the loo quite often. We seek for Dr Tang's advice before proceeding for this trip. To our relief, everything was alright. Aside from the morning sickness, I enjoyed the trip together with my hubby. It was our first family trip.
Baby at 12 weeks old.
Although the first 3 months of pregnancy was quite difficult, as I have to keep this good news to myself and deal with all the sickness of pregnancy but it's an amazing journey. Day after day, I can feel baby growing inside me and this cannot be felt by anyone else. During the first 3 months, I was quite weak and felt dizzy all the time. I can hardly eat anything besides bread. So breads became my great companion over the 3 months. The moment after the 3rd month, I actually felt better. No more morning sickness or giddiness. I have more energy to deal with my work during the 2nd trimester.
I felt so amazing and great about my pregnancy. I would love to have more babies if circumstances allowed me to do so. It's a great journey that all women should experience it personally. All pregnancy experience are different but one similar thing is the great feeling that a life is rapidly growing inside you.
