From 13 Sep 07 to 29 Apr 08

On 13 Sep 2007, Mummy discovered my existence. How she found it?

I have done little magic on her:

  • To make her the prettiest mum-to-be, I made her hair and face smooth smooth
  • I made her lost of appetite
  • she felt tired and sleepy easily
My tricks were so successful. Mummy discovered that I was growing in her womb on the 5th week.

Mummy informed Daddy's about this great news. They were very happy with my coming and yet worried due to financially unstable.


baby - 5 weeks


5th week (15/Sept/07)

To confirm my existence, Mummy and Daddy went to Doctor Ang's clinic for check up. I was soooo tiny that they were unable to see me and they could only see the water bag which will be my temporarily habitat during my stay in mummy's womb.

baby - 7 week 1 day

7th week - 1.04cm (26/Sept/07)

On the following week, mummy and daddy went to Bangkok for holiday. This is the first time I was taking plane. It was very noisy and I were not enjoying at all. On the second day in Bangkok, mummy has little brown discharge. Mummy and daddy were very worried and called Doctor Ang and wai po for some advices. Mummy was advised to rest more and walk less. Sorry mummy! !

When back from Bangkok, to ensure I were doing fine inside the womb, mummy went to see Dr Ang again. To assure mummy and daddy I was a healthy baby, I showed them the power of my heart beat. Mummy's tears dropped when she heard my heart beat for the very first time.

Poor scanning. Even I also cannot figure out what's in the scanning. Anyway, I was continued to grow healthy.

My head was getting heavier that I can't balance myself. It was so much comfortable when I turned my head down into mummy's pelvis.

Dr. Ang was trying to capture my features again. Not to disappoint mummy and daddy, I showed them my right face. Charming?

Only gained 200g in 2 weeks. Mummy was very worried if I will be too small. So she asked daddy to buy some durians.

37th week - 2.8kg (25/Apr/08)
Thanks to durian. I gain 500g in a week. Mummy and Daddy was shocked with my growth. Now they started to worry if I would be too big if I continue to grow so.

38th week - 3.0kg (28/Apr/08)
After 3 days, mummy went for checked up again. I have reached 3kg in 3 days time. Doctor Ang said that I will be coming out these few days as has dilated for 2cm. After checked up, mummy started to feel minor contractions and she was admitted to TMC @ 11pm.

(29/Apr/08)
Thorough the night, the contractions were on and off. Daddy was waiting alone at TMC lobby as no companion is allowed to stay overnight. Poor daddy was not having a good night sleep.

In the morning, mummy did not really feel the contractions and still can joke with daddy. Anyhow, I was going to come out today. Mummy was sent to pre-labor ward in the morning for monitoring my heart beat and interval of contractions, shaving and put medicine for mummy to pass all her motion so that no motion will be out during her push push. The Filipino nurse is very nice and even passed a towel to mummy for showering before going to labor ward. Mummy was so happy because she could only bath after discharging from TMC. Smelly mummy!

Dr Ang came to check mummy and he used his finger to break the water bag, I can't swim in mummy's womb anymore. After that, mummy was putting on wheel chair to labor ward. The nurse put medicine to shorten the interval of contractions.

The contractions became stronger, mummy started to feel upset.

One hour later, Mummy started to cry and scream. Thanks to mummy for being active thorough the pregnancy, I did not suffer for too long, Mummy's vaginal was dilated from 2cm to 10cm in 2 hours. After arrival of Dr. Ang, mummy started to push push, after 3-4 push, finally I was born.

My first photo.

Daddy helped me to cut the umbilical cord. The room was so bright that I could not open my eyes. I also felt cold and scare for being exposed in such a strange place, I started to cry and cry. Daddy kept on saying “Don’t cry, don’t cry baby”, but the midwife said “just let him cry, his lungs need exercise”. So I cried out even louder, I want to be a healthy baby.
