My pregnancy, Antenatal/Prenatal Course & Confinement Experience

 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.
