My 2nd Pregnancy- No such thing as a confident pregnancy!!

It's time to make it official. Yes Mommies, I'm pregnant!!

Well... we found it out early as soon as the 5th week because we were trying for our 2nd child and the minute my period was late, with no hesitation I did the home-pregnancy-test.

Alhamdulillah this time around the morning sickness is not as bad as when I was carrying Miya. Teringat lagi kisah 6weeks pregnant with Miya, when I was hospitalized for 3days & kena drip about 14 bags of fluids. The morning sickness was so bad. I could not hold anything down to the point I was severly dehydrated.

For this 2nd pregnancy, so far I will feel mabuk if my tummy build up wind sebab kosong. Memang lah kerja I kena makan aje. Tapi makan sikit-sikit aje. If too much, there comes the heartburn or bubling gas. Haa..pastu rasa senak or nak muntah la.

Now 8 weeks pregnant, something similar of both pregnancy occurs. Last Saturday I started to have spotting. I didn't pay much attention as I thought that it might have something to do with my UTI. However, the spotting becomes heavier when Monday comes. Suddenly I mula teringat my bleeding during early pregnancy time carry Miya. At that time the doctor gave me a hormonal jab (dah le mahal RM120 sekali cucuk, sakit giler plak tu) and I was put to bed rest for a few days.

Thinking that this is a similar case, I called my GP and she told me to rush to the ER of the Women's Hospital that I've registered with. After almost 5hours with them, 1 urine test, 1 blood test, basic medical check-up, 1001 questions of medical history, 2 uterine sample; the doctor finally concluded that my pregnancy is safe for now and almost everything doesn't point to the miscarriage. However, they are not 100% sure unless I come over again the next day for an ultrasound scan.

And so, the next day, tergedek-gedek Miya & I jalan to the ER for that Ultrasound appointment. Yang bengkeknye, since we are at the ER, they will have to make way for more urgent case dulu. Jadinya berjanggut la Miya menunggu and Mama-nya nak terlelap-lelap dah.

Anyway, Alhamdulillah bila scan, we saw the heartbeat. Miya pun cam pelik aje. Gambar apa doktor tunjuk kat screen tu. I said "Miya, that's your adik". Dia makin blur kat situ. Gelak aje la I, the Midwife & the Doctor.

So the doctor concluded that the ada luka sikit aje. Dunno the reason. Maybe ada silap ke or terlasak or maybe the baby is just growing fast. Only if the bleeding doesn't stop in another week or 2, I kena rush to the ER again.

The lesson I learned here, there is no such thing as a confident pregnancy even though you have had the experience before. Worrying is the key to a healthy pregnancy..hahahhahha...But over-worrying is another. :P

If any moms out there are planning for 2nd pregnancy, I would recommend on getting your hand on this book "Twice Blessed" . It was one of my must haves and now I'm enjoying the read.
