Sharing my first pregnancy and my confinement experience 😁
Finding out my pregnancy & My Pregnancy Experience:
I travel to Beijing last year with the tour for one wk and then came back home not long ago, I found out my pregnancy 🤣🤣
Didn't really expect I am pregnant because I just travelled to Beijing not long ago and even went for the Great Wall of China too. Oops.
Okay, when I back home for almost a week, supposed it was my first day of my menses, but I still do have a weird feeling that I might be pregnant and so yes I went to buy pregnancy kit and checked! I went to toilet and checked it. Got to believe my own gut feelings 直觉 hahaha
And OMG yes I am pregnant! Now then I announced it and shared the news over here. FINALLY!
I was really so damm excited that I even buy the clearance pregnancy test with weeks indicator so to check how many weeks I am pregnant.
Awy, for my first pregnancy checkup I went to Thomson Clinic ( Jem Outlet), the doctor actually quite good but I went for only two times because I wanted to have medisave deduction so change to NUH instead.
Awy I got to prescribed Duphaston, fish oil, prenatal forte as well as the folic acid tablet ( didn't take photo) during my visit to Thomson Clinic.
It was my first pregnancy and I have been vomiting until very badly and so for my next visit for nuh ( awy, I needed to go to polyclinic to see the doc first so to give me a referral letter to see doc at nuh) I was prescribed the tablet to help for vomiting one.
Okay to be honest for me, I still vommit even after I ate the tablet (not so badly but still vommit after I eat). So, I advised that is okay if you don't have any appetite and couldn't eat much during pregnancy. Don't forced yourself to eat if not will be very 辛苦。
I find that is so important to be happy throughout the pregnancy 😊😁 Stay calm and happy!
So I having the Quali Brain after I finished the fish oil ( from Thomson)
I also have the iGenes test to test for abnormalities all these (is an optional test), and glad that is all normal and that's how I know my baby gender too. Haha and is a Baby Girl 👶
Experience about my Antenatal/Prenatal Course experience (Thomson Medical):
I also have went for the Thomson Medical Antenatal/ Prenatal Course. Quite good 👍 got practical class (love that is small class) and theory class (conducted through zoom)!
Received free gift when attempted the practical class too!
Baa Baa Sheepz Baby Essentials Set* worth $56!
I also received a free baby playmat.
Really quite worth to sign up the class sia. The instructor is also good!! I learned quite alot of important skills in taking care of baby too, some pregnancy & breathing exercises! Hands-on experience is really very important!
Delivery:
It was midnight and luckily I wanted to go pee and so I realsies I got blood. So got to call the hospital first and confirmed with the staff whether I need tl go to hospital or not and yes I needed to get to hospital now. Awy, I wanted to have natural birth in the first place but during delivery, I couldn't delivered my baby successfully so ended up I am having a C-section instead. So, sometimes, things don't really go our way but well nvm, we go with the flow!
顺其自然 right!
Confinement Time :
For confinement, I gotten the herbal soup and red date tea from Wing Joo Loong. Supposingly wanted to get herbal soup from Hock Hua but changed of mind again🤣 I am quite indecisive of which brand to get but I think of trying Wing Joo Loong first.
Herbal soup still not bad!
I love drinking the Confinement herbal tea
I also gotten from confinement supplements for myself from Sws 28
I find that is essential to get one for myself to 补补 after giving birth.
I also gotten the confinement bath from Wing Joo Loong.
I have chosen the PEM agency and even upgraded for golden nanny. To be honest, I find that the nanny still okay okay lor.
The Confinement Food(cooked by nanny) 我觉得还好
Okay, I didn't take alot of photos ( the Confinement foods) because I have prioritise myself and my baby first. Most importantly, is having sufficient rest and self-care is really important.
Okay, so that's it. If you have any doubts or questions, do leave a comment on my blog or email me. Thanks for reading.
