I am not feeling well mentally for the past days after going for the 1st check up. After browsing through the www on Duphaston, i had actually stopped taking it after taking it 4 times. I don't experience stains, blood from my vagina, cramp or felt unease throughout my 7 weeks pregnancy and i don't have a history of miscarriage. I really don't know why i was prescribed with the medication. What troubles me more is that this medication is actually not advisable to be taken after pregnancy is confirmed!
After taking Duphaston 4 times, i had the uncomfortable feelings as if my period is coming and it freaks me out. I am always on alert mood, worried that blood will flushed out of my vagina anytime of the day.
I will be seeking 2nd opinion from Dr. Patrick this coming Monday. Pray hard that everything will be fine.

Pregnancy No.2 : 1st check up at 7 weeks
I went for my 1st checkup at Tropicana Medical Center (TMC) yesterday with Dr. Dev. Menon.
TMC looks more like a hotel to me as it really don't give me the eerie feeling of being in a hospital.
I reached TMC about 10:45am. Registered myself at the registration counter. Waited about 30 minutes until a nurse attended to me asking me some personal questions and details. The nurse seems to be shocked to know that i came for my pregnancy confirmation checkup as the center focus more on the infertility issues.
Everything goes according. I had my height and weight checked. My blood pressure checked and urine checked. Everything turns out normal.
I finally meet up with Dr Menon for the very first time around 11:45am (few minutes after my supposed appointment time of 11:30am). He is a very friendly doctor and the way he talks feels good.
He did the abdominal scan and confirm that i am 7 weeks pregnant. Everything is right on track and baby is growing well. However, he found blood clog outside the sac and this troubles me a lot. He told me that it's quite normal for my age and it's mainly due to hormone. However, I became panic inside me and didn't really managed to catch what else he wanted to say after that.
I was put under medication (Duphaston, 2 table, 3 times a day for 4 weeks) and is asked to come back to see him in 4 weeks time to check on the status.
The bill ends up a whooping RM700++ . (Consultation RM180, Abdominal scan RM100, Admin charges RM3, Medication RM400+).
I can't really rest well after coming home from the medical center. I think i will opt for second opinion from Dr. Patrick Chia in coming days.

Pregnancy: No.2 at 5 weeks
I had started feeling nausea and the urge for vomiting at this early stage of pregnancy especially during night time after dinner. It has not been as smooth as while i am having No.1.
I am happy to see that Hubby is putting effort in helping to take care of No.1 recently so that i can rest more.
I have yet to consider which gynae to go to and i had to decide fast as i will need to go for the first check up on week 7. Should i go back to FMGC or should i try TMC? The charges for both seems to be on the par. TMC is very near my office but i am more familiar and comfortable with FMGC's doctors and nurses.
Oh well, i will have 2 more weeks to think about it.

Happy Valentines Day 2011
A very special day to remember.
I had been feeling something different for the past few days. I had the feelings that i am pregnant with No.2. I secretly bought a home pregnancy test kit and waited until today for the test.
I am having a mix feelings. I am not mentally ready for No.2 and yet i hope to have No.2 especially when seeing colleagues and friends with babies.
The home pregnancy test comes out positive early this morning.
I left hubby a surprise note and a valentines day present before going to work this morning. Can't wait to see hubby's reaction when home tonight.
According to the EDD calculations, No.2 is 4 weeks old and is expected to be delivered in mid-October.
I had started to take Folic Acid 5mg pills (alternate days) and hopefully No.2 will be better and stronger than No.1.

High fever again
Baby was down with high fever again a day after celebrating her 2nd Birthday.
This has been the second high fever attack since December.
She woke up with a temperature of 38c. I gave her a dose of 3.5ml Paracetamol before sending her off to the baby sitter. Baby recovered and everything went well until around 6:00pm. Baby sitter called me while i am on my way home from work. Baby was crying loudly and was attack by high fever again. When i reached the baby sitter's house, baby was standing in front of the door waiting for me. Her face is burning red hot. I took her temperature and it's 40c! I quickly gave her a dose of Veron.
Brought her to the doctor to double check baby's situation as we were to travelle back to Johor on Tuesday.
The dosage of Paracetamol was increased to 4ml as advised by the doctor. One dosage was given to baby every 4 hours to control her fever. This continued for 2 full days. Baby seems to be recovered on Thursday. However, her temperature rises to 37.7c again on Thursday afternoon. A dose of Paracetamol was given. She recovered and feverish again on Friday afternoon with slight cough and running nose. She even throw up when i feed her medicine.
I was panicked. We canceled all our Chinese New Year gathering and drive around the town to find a clinic. I am worried that baby might be down with Denggi or even worst H1N1. We found a clicnic that opens for business on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year. It was packed with patients. I am not sure how long i had waiting for baby's turn. The doctor didn't suspect any Denggi or H1N1. He just listen to her lungs and check her temperature. He didn't even mind to open baby's mouth to check whether there's any ulcer in baby's mouth when baby felt reluctant to open her mouth. I really doubt the doctors ability.
The next day, baby seems to be a bit better. I can't wait to go back home to KL!
Baby thrown up one more time throughout the journey home. Luckily her fever didn't attacked anymore.
Hope that baby can be strong and healthy soon!

2 Years Old
Baby is officially 2 years old.
We had a small house party with our family members.
I cooked spaghetti, potato and egg salad, baked some chicken fillet and salmon fish while hubby prepared some garden salad , taiwan sausages and mayo char koay. We ordered Dominos pizza too and bought the new Walls Selection Gold Series Ice Cream.
Since, baby's birthday is very near to Chinese New Year, most bakery shop are not taking last minute orders. I was very dissapointed with the quality of the cake. It seems to have been in the fridge for a few days. Gonna remember to order the cake at least 3 days in advance next year.
Eventough the cake taste badly, baby loves it very much. She had been singing the birthday songs, blowing imaginary candles and cutting imaginary cakes for the past few days. She can't wait to blow the candles and cut the cake. She can't even wait till we finish singing her the birthday song. End up, she needs to blow the candles a few times so that i can take a photo/video of her with her light up cake.
Baby received a big angpao from grandma, 2 sets of cooking utensils from 2nd aunty, 1 big jigsaw puzzle from 1st uncle, 2 set of pretty dresses from baby sitter and 1 play dough set from DK.
