Facebook Community usefulness~

I am in this secret facebook community where moms-to-be with their edd in December this year get together to chat and discuss. I am glad that I have joined this community, although have been pregnant before but this is still consider my first pregnancy hence a lot information is getting from experience mommies and elderly.

I realised a lot elderlies based on myth to advise us, while mommies based on their own experience, however difference people will have their own pregnancy issue hence community plays a big role in sharing information.

Anyway today I am on medical leave as was kinda feeling unwell plus was having 2 sleepless nights, so decided to go and see a GP to get a MC to rest at home. While I was waiting to get my medicine at the counter, there's these 2 aunties was chatting with me telling me that I am so going to due soon. How they presume is based on looking at my swollen lips and tummy is low!?!?!? IT's really freak me up! But I just smile along saying still got 7 to 10 weeks to go...

I quickly log on to my facebook and post up the above. After posting up, immediately i got 40 replies... WOW~ SEE! how effective this community is! I just love them. Of course after chatting with them, it does give me a peace of mind.

Ok time to go for lunch... just feel like gossiping today so pardon if i being too bitchy :P

It getting nearer!!!!

Finally I have come to third trimester, officially a real countdown for me ~ woo hoo….

Everyone kept telling me that the time passes so fast that I am actually left 2 months to go to pop; but I can’t wait for November to arrive any sooner. Guess I am too anxious and excited to see my “most familiar stranger” aka “little lover”.

Theory said second trimester is the most comfortable period for most pregnancy which I have to admit; besides having leg cramps and backache, occasionally I really do not feel myself pregnant at all. A lot times I will be “warned” or “scolded” by my hubby to be gentle which I thought it was quite funny as he is more anxious than me.

Anyway… this is my first week of third trimester and I can start to feel the 3^rd trim “pressure”; for example baby’s movement getting more obvious (which I love the most), my back getting more and more painful regardless I am sitting or lying down, stretch mark but only on my breast and water retention which mean I am starting to have swollen legs and figure... Just hope I can endure well till Nov.

Overall I have gained about 10kg and hoping no more increment, I do not know how heavy or how big is my baby as my last scan was done when I was in 21 weeks since then I never have an ultra-scan. Well, because my check-ups are done at government hospital and they do not practice regular scan for every visits. My next scan and last scan will be at 10 Oct where I will be at 32 weeks. Just hope everything will goes well and smooth for my pregnancy, as I am hoping to go through natural birth and possible with NO epidural or whatsoever pain relief. Heee~ not too confident whether can I handle the labour pain but I am really looking forward to it!

Ok got to go~ will update more whenever I can J
