Pregnancy Week 6

Hmm entering into Week 6, We pushed forward our first Gynae appointment to coming Saturday instead. kind of excited and looking forward but afraid at the same time.
due to the past miscarriage I can't help but let my imagination run wild about this pregnancy.

Really do hope it will be a smooth pregnancy and baby will be healthy and born full term.

At 6 weeks, the brown spotting seemed to stopped. My morning sickness was so much better, I kind of stopped puking though I still feel queasy and nauseous occasionally.

Been feeling tired most of the day and still sleeping early at 10ish at night.
Finding it hard to focus at work
Finding drinking plain water a challenge, there seems to be a bitterness in the plain water.
still feeling bloated but definitely eating more compared to in week 5 where I cant finish a meal.

Post result - after our first appt at the gynae

We're able to detect the heartbeat! Gynae is more confident in this pregnancy then the previous as well and even commented that heartbeat is strong so all is good.
Unlike the previous pregnancy, where gynae just kept reminding us that we're still in early pregnancy and anything can happen..this give us confidence.

but it did not remove my phobia...each time I went for my scan, i'd get paranoid and worry if the heartbeat will stop beating any moment...

    Hello
    I happened to read your blog when I search about foods to eat after miscarriage. Then I started reading your blog becos I am having the same kind of feelings(esp the green monster part worst still my sis is pregnant ard the same time as me)& I believe I'll have the same phobia as you for my next pregnancy (I hope I still can & will be soon). I have been negative since I went thru d&c on 22 April. Although my gynae said is very common nowadays but I still couldn't believe such thing happen to me.
    Nevertheless I still try my very best to think positive & pray hard I can get pregnant soon & will have a smooth pregnancy & healthy baby.
    Sorry for such long mail. I just feel like sharing wif u..
    Lastly hope everything will smooth for you & best luck :)

    hi wendy..

    so sorry to hear about your lost as well. please do be positive. I know it's tough and all the more I was very impatient to conceive. did my D&C in July last year and only managed to get pregnant in March this year.
    I think to totally get over it, we will need to have a full healthy pregnancy.
    even for now i'm very paranoid about the little one inside due to the previous experience and especially when it was a missed miscarriage I tend to be really scared before each gyane appointment as I do not want to be "surprised" by any more bad news...

    even though i'm past 12 weeks and gynae keep saying that bb is very stable for now and anything untoward should not happen unless it's due to accident or something I still feel really paranoid if the bb's heart will just stop beating anytime. especially when my next appointment is a month away.

    keep faith and you'll be blessed with another baby soon!

    Hi Drea, similar to Wendy, I stumbled on your post when I was googling on foods to eat after a miscarriage. Specifically the ba zhen soup. Thank you for your blog, it's been inspiring and strikes a cord with me. Many of the emotions I'm going through I read them here and it tells me I'm not alone...or paranoid.. Congrats on your baby and keep on posting!

      Hi petite bois
      Thank you for leaving me a note and I'm glad that my blog has been able to inspire you.
      After my first miscarriage I actually realized that miscarriages are a lot more common than we thought and things happened for a reason.
      More importstly we must know how to take good care of our body to condition it and wait till it's ready to conceive again.
      Unless one went through what we did else I doubt anyone can truly understand why we are so paranoid and the fear of each gynae visit.
      Even on the day I deliver I'm worried about having a still birth.
      Do have faith and I'm sure all of us will be rewarded just like how I'm being rewarded with our precious baby Ashlene though premature but at least she's given the clean bill of health.

Taiwan Kids friendly Accommodation with slides - not your usual list!

And so from a mere idea of bringing Sticky Bean with us to Taiwan, this idea was put into action with Singapore Airlines 70th Anniversary promotion where you get to pay only $70 for a child's ticket! Though it's not exactly the cheapest option for flying to Taiwan, we thought to pay a little more for better service and not to mention safety since it will be Sticky Bean's first time traveling on a relatively longer flight. Her first plane ride was a really short one to KL, a mere 1 hour away. If she's manageable on the flight, we can then consider budget airlines such as Scoot or even Jetstar for our subsequent travels. So why Taiwan? There are plenty of reasons for our choice other than both Mr. Keir and myself love Taiwan for the food and hospitality. I'm sure you may have come across Awesome kids friendly accommodation with slides and other themed rooms in Taiwan that are trending in facebook. That was one of the many reasons why we want to go Taiwan too! ...

8 Day 7 Night Kaohsiung Kids Friendly Iitnerary (Taiwan)

Finally, we embarked on an exploration trip to the Southern part of Taiwan. Having heard so much about E-Da World in Kaohsiung, we decided to take a direct flight just to explore Kaohsiung. Initially, we'd wanted to do a Kaohsiung-Tainan trip but decided to skip Tainan this time around and did a Kaohsiung-Nantou trip instead. We had so much fun and would highly recommend a visit to Kaohsiung to any families travelling with kids. In fact, we find Kaohsiung a lot more child-friendly than Taipei. It is also less crowded so it makes it less claustrophobic taking public transport in Kaohsiung as opposed to Taipei. The people there are also a lot friendlier and helpful. This time around, my mum joined us as well and Sticky Bean was ecstatic as she gets to spend quality time with her Popo. Here's a preview of our 8 Days 7 Night Kaohsiung Kids Friendly Itinerary (Taiwan) . You can click on the respective days for a detailed post. The link will be up once it's ready...

BTO Keys Collection and BTO Door Opening Ceremony

And so after a long 4 years wait, our BTO is finally ready for keys collection. To be honest we totally forgot about out BTO and was pleasantly surprised to receive an SMS from HDB to inform us of our BTO keys collection date. That was when we frantically tried to hunt for an ID. Ok to cut the story short, here's what happened on the BTO keys collection day as well as what we did for our "BTO Door Opening Ceremony". There really wasn't an official BTO door opening ritual or ceremony in fengshui. I guess this is just a Singapore custom. Though we do not have a religion, in particular, we just did it for an ease of mind. Love the  living room view from our 30th storey BTO view from our Service Yard BTO Key Collection Process at HDB Time took: less than an hour It was a very straightforward and easy process. Here's what you need to prepare, assuming that you are taking the loan from HDB. Identity cards Marriage certificate if you are buying...
