The Journey

Hello everyone. It's been a while. It's just me who are too lazy too blog. So let me begin by announcing the good news. I'm finally PREGNANT!!!! After trying to conceive for more than a year, with lots of prayers and efforts, the good God granted our prayer. Thank God for that.

The journey has not been easy. After we got married in 2010, I made a decision not to get pregnant. Not until I transferred back to Sabah. At that time, I was too afraid to get pregnant by myself in Klang. I just couldn't imagine how to bear the pregnancy without any family member there. Six month after the wedding, I finally got transferred back to KK. That was the moment hubby and I really tried hard to get me conceive, but failed everytime. Each time when I thought my period was late, we went to check it with the pregnancy test kit. Unfortunately, we were devastated with the result.  We were so frustrated that we stopped buying pregnancy test kits. We tried most of the method that we knew. The Calendar Method, Fertility Charting, Cervical Mucus Method, eating folic acid religiously... But, nothing happened.

It is very stressful when people started to ask us that compulsory question each time without failed. It makes us heart broken when people around us make fun of us and even make their own conclusion that we may have reproductive problem. No matter how much I hated what they said, I could only just smile and forgive them. I believe God has the best plan for me at the right time. During the stressful moment, we went up to the Camerlite monastery to seek prayers from the Carmelite Sisters. During the year end school holiday, mum accompanied me to get traditional massage at my hometown. I only had to went for three session and the aunty (the tukang urut) said everything was fine. My peranakan is in the right place. The problem is, I have a very gassy stomach. The remedy sounds very easy, I just have to drink a cup of garlic drinks everyday to cure the gassy stomach. Oh my, I never imagined it'll be that hard. Besides that, I was told to say the St. Anne's Prayer.  

In the beginning of the year 2012, hubby and I had a discussion and decided that we will seek professional help from doctors if I failed to conceive by the end of February. We were trying very very hard before the dateline arrived.  On March, I noticed something weird happened to me. Apart from the late period, I started to hate some smells, I dislike some dishes, I only wanted to drink soup and i became very easily irritated or annoyed over small things. My instinct strongly told me that I might be pregnant. But I do not want to  believe in my instinct. I did not tell hubby anything about that. I just kept it to myself. It may sound selfish but I couldn't bear seeing husband's frustrated face if anything went wrong. By the end of March, hubby popped out the question about us seeking help from doctors. I suggested that we went to buy pregnancy test kits before we made any further decision since my period was late. So, we went to buy 2 pregnancy test kits at Watson on 22nd March. I tested it the next morning before I went to work and to my surprise the indicator showed that I'm pregnant. I quickly woke up my husband and told him about the test. We were both very happy with the result at first but we were not that confident yet. Later that evening, hubby brought me to Rafflesia Medical Center (RMC) to have a check. It was already 7pm and I convinced that the clinic was already closed. Hubby insisted we just went in and made an appointment. I believe everything happens for a reason. Upon reaching RMC, Dr Sutha, the gynecologist was still in the clinic. She asked us what we wanted to know. Being a first timer, hubby just said that we wanted to confirm the pregnancy. So off we went to do the scan.Thanks God it is for real. I was in my 7 week when i first did the scan. Dr Sutha became my gynecologist ever since then. Now, I'm in my 26 week of pregnancy. Few more weeks before I bid farewell to 2nd trimester and welcomes the 3rd trimester.

This is the part of the journey through my pregnancy. I'm not here to brag but just to share story about my life and to remind myself what I've been through after all this while. Happy reading people... There will be more sharing about my pregnancy in the next post. 

Have a wonderful Saturday!!!!
