DATE: 14th February 2008
VENUE: Nagano Sanfujika (Obstetrics & Gynecology) Clinic, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka-ken, Japan

For the 6th month check-up, we went with Ain & A-T-qah. It's not that because one translator is not enough, its just that I wanted to give them some insights on baby & parenting information hik hik hik alasan je.

It doesn't take so much time as always, maybe because there are not so many patients for the Dr to attend to. Usual check-up was perform i.e weight + blood pressure, urine test for sugar + protein, fetal heartbeat, height of fundus, size of uterus and not forgetting checking on the position of uterus (by performing the shameful external palpation techniques as always..sigh).

When hubby asked Dr the sex of our baby, he was saying that we stand for 70% chances of getting a baby girl. I become so excited (yeay ..boleh beli baju pink ), but still Dr was not sure coz my baby selalu tunjuk punggung je...malu nak tunjuk toot-toot dia...isk3x ...jadi Dr agak2 berdasarkan saiz punggung dia je ekekeke. Baby's weight in 24thweeks 5days was already 622g. As for mommy, I am 53.4kg in weight which mean I accomplished the task given by mid-wife on last month to gain 1.2kg every month.

6th Month Symptoms

Despite the same usual symptoms that I've experienced for the previous month, listed below are the particular symptoms that I'm having during my 6th month of pregnancy.

(1) Protruding navel
My belly button used to be a perfect 'innie'. Now it's sticking all the way out. As the swelling uterus pushes forward, my belly button pushes forward as well. I just hope that it will revert back to its regular position a few months after delivery....please vanishes together with the stretch mark on my tummy.

** takkan nak letak gambar pusat bujir aku terjuih pulak, marah incik hubby

(2) Clumsiness
Lately I've been dropping everything that I carry and pick up. That's why hubby will not allowed me to set up the table for dinner. I was allowed to cook only, and once I finished cooking, hubby will prepare the food and carry all the plates and utensils to the table.

Ada sekali tu, lepas bakar ayam tandoori..aku keluarkan pinggan ayam dari oven. Tapi tiba2 pinggan tu terjatuh..tergolek2 sume ayam atas lantai. Nasib baik tak tergolek sampai dalam bilik air je...huhuhu


(3) Trouble sleeping due to backache
Between midnight bathroom runs, a hopped-up metabolism that's keeping the heat on and also the impossibility of getting comfortable due to backache ---> all of these factors is driving me to insomnia condition.

Kadang2 dengki tengok hubby tidur, sengaja merajuk pastu tunjuk perasaan gi tidur atas karpet yang sangat sejuk. Lepas 3minit berdegil....sekali kena marah, naik balik atas katil...esoknya sakit2 seluruh badan..ini lah balasan untuk isteri yang degil huhuhu.

(4) Sniffing hubby's armpit
Ok, I admit it sounded so gross...but it's the actual fact. I cant sleep until I put my nose right under hubby's armpit + sniffed the smell of his armpit+ and finally placed my head on hubby's arm ----> After doing this 3 procedures only I can go to sleep and sometimes when I woke up in the middle of the night, I'll sniffed hubby's armpit again and again in order to get back to sleep..hahahha..sangat geli kan? tapi takpe lah, sini kan sejuk..bukannya hubby berpeluh pon. bau ketiak pon bau deodoran nivea yang wangi tu je...masyukkkk sangat bau dia.


(5) Bigger belly
If last month, I can still fit into most of my old clothes, but for the 6th month I have to reorder my wardrobe to find out that I can only fit into very few of them. Thus, I go shopping for few clothes that can fit my body expansion (bigger belly and enlarged breast). However, I don't really bought maternity dress (masih tak sedar diri perut dah besar )...instead, I bought Japanese-style-blouse so that I can still wear it after giving birth to my baby.

(6) Mood swings
Though I can already cope with the mood swings, I still sulk some time. I'd say "takder gapo2 lah" when hubby asked me about the reason. As hubby knew me well enough,he wont take that for answer. He'll asked me the reason behind the sulking-thingy that made me cried. The most sulking incident that I can remember during the 6th month was when someone who is quite closed to us saying something about my baby. That person were saying that "kalu dapat baby girl, tok soho la" **
** translation = if you get a baby girl, it was not something to be proud of.

Though that person doesnt mean anything when saying it, I felt really sad. I was carrying this baby all along inside my tummy for 6months, not forgetting I have to bear with all the pains plus some other physical and mental suffers. Thus, it makes me really sad when that person says that...couldnt stop crying for more than 1 hour. bila bangun tidur, mata bengkak sangat2...padan muka, hal kecik cenggitu pon mau nangis beria2.


(7) Crave for 'roti canai'
For the 6th month, I only craved for 'roti canai'. Thus, hubby and I went to Kak Yati's house so that hubby can learn on the menebar technique with Abg Zainuri. Hubby finally make me 10pieces of roti canai to eat...puas hati sangat2 dapat makan walaupun liat sikit.

That was all the best things being in my 'world' during my 6th month pregnancy.

I am writing this entry to make sure that I'll always remember each and every lovely moment that I have encountered during my pregnancy. I hope that one day, whenever I'm pregnant for my next baby( 1st baby pon x keluar lg, dh sibuk2 nak fikir next baby hihiihi)......this experiences that I'm having rite now will remain as a memorable experience in my life.
