Pregnancy Journal Part 1

28 Dec 07

Decided to try the kit to see if I am pregnant.... NEGATIVE! Aiya.. waste money on test kit liao. Nevermind.. tell myself to test again few days later. Cos quite a strong feeling that I am going to be pregnant leh.

1 Jan 08

I have a feeling that something is wrong with me. Feeling so bloated for no reason recently. Went to get another test kit from Watson's. FAINT LINE! What does that mean? Pregnant or not pregnant?? Dare not confirm anything yet.

2 Jan 08

Checked with Human Resource on maternity benefits in case I am really pregnant. But was told that maybe no benefits for contract staff. Very disappointed. But wrote an email to MOM for advice so now waiting for reply.

3 Jan 08

Went to company doctor for confirmation of pregnancy. Was told by GP that the line is too faint to confirm pregnancy. Therefore she concluded NEGATIVE! Was a bit disappointed by that result. Hubby was quite disappointed too cos he told his colleagues the "good" news already.

But feeling is strong so we believe that I am pregnant and decided to try another kit as I was having all the symptoms - nauseam dizziness, etc.

4 Jan 08

Down with fever and pain near tummy area. I had an operation before to remove my ovarian cyst last year so I thought.. Oh no... I am getting the cyst again. Didn't go to work today. Went to see GP immediately in case I kena the cyst again.

Told GP about my discomfort and I have missed my menses (last menses 3 Dec 07). He asked if I am pregnant but I told him my company doctor did a test for me yesterday and it's was NEGATIVE. But he didn't believe so he insisted I do the urine test again.

Faint line (the same as company doctor) but this time round, GP congratulates me, saying that it's POSITIVE = PREGNANT! So he gave me some vitamins and folic acid to take and advise me to see my gynae as soon as possible.

6 Jan 08

Both hubby and I decided to spend money on the last test kit before we confirm this pregnancy. Bought the test kit - POSITIVE ( 2 clear lines now). Happy and worried at the same time. Booked an appointment with gynae in Feb cos dun want to waste $$ so early on checkup when there is nothing much to see. Hahaha....

8 Jan 08

Called up hospital to change appointment cos my tunny is getting sharp pain these 2 days. Better go check first as me worried about getting cyst during pregnancy or is the wound causing me the pain?? Changed appointment to 12 Jan 08.

12 Jan 08

Today is a busy day for us. I have gynae appointment at 1pm then colleague's house warming then family dinner in the evening.

Went to see my gynae at Ang Mo Kio Central - Dr Benjamin Tham. He's a nice doctor. Somehow, he will put you at ease with his attitude and looks. Haha. Anyway he told me that I am about 4-5 weeks pregnant so nothing much to see now. Just saw a sac and embryo through the scan monitor. Asked him about my pain, was told it could be due to stretching around tummy area but everything is ok.

Fixed another appointment 3 weeks later - 2 Feb 08. Doctor said might be able to see something by then. Hope to show Andy and Angeline their little Di Di or Mei Mei soon.
