Yesterday I went to the doctor for a repeat scan. It’s just yesterday I realized that none of my pants fit me anymore. My gosh I don’t even dare to measure my waistline. I am not gonna buy maternity clothes just yet though, I have enough sundresses that I could wear for now.
The scan last Tuesday made me really feel good about this pregnancy. My baby has already doubled in size since my last scan. The scan two weeks ago, he or she was just 9mm and now my baby measures 23mm. That’s amazing! The heartbeat was also good – 172 bpm.
I have less morning sickness now and I think my appetite is getting back to normal. After our appointment we went to run some errands in the city and then we headed to Orchard rd to buy me some snacks and goodies. Graham crackers for my snack whenever I feel hungry and some chips, polvoron and of course the tuyo.

Yep I bought myself some dried tuyo. I suddenly had a craving for it and luckily for me, it is possible to buy it here in Singapore.

I was thinking of cooking it the next day but I couldn’t wait any longer, naglalaway na ako e
so I cooked some rice and ate it the very same day. I haven’t eaten this for so long and boy was it good. I bought two packs but I won’t eat the other pack till after a couple of weeks. I shouldn’t eat too much salty foods because it can give me UTI ( Urinary track infection)
Hello! Welcome back to my blog :)
I got a scare last Friday, early morning around 3 am I think, I felt blood coming out from my vajayjay. I went to the bathroom to check and it was bright red. This is different color from the bleeding I have been getting the last couple of weeks which was brown ( old blood according to my doctor ). At this point I was freaking out because I thought I was having a miscarriage again so I woke up hubby and showed him the blood. It did stop after awhile. We waited for morning to see if there’s still more bleeding. I didn’t see any new blood. We were relieved.
So we went with our day and forgot about the bleeding episode for a bit. We thought to ourselves, if it stopped then it is nothing to worry about. We went grocery shopping and when we came back, hubby started to make his pizza for our dinner.
It was about 3 pm when I started bleeding again.That’s when I really really got scared. I called the clinic right away and told them about what’s happening with me. I know that my doctor is away on a trip, good thing that he has someone else to take over his patients. The nurse said to go there and see the doctor.
We went there as quickly as we can. There were not so many people so the doctor saw me in 20 minutes. We did a scan to see if my baby is still there. And yes! the baby is still there and his heart is actually beating fast. I am so happy! They don’t know precisely what is the cause of the bleeding but he said that since the baby is there, I shouldn’t worry too much anymore. He advised me to take it easy in the coming days, to rest as much as I can. My favorite nurse, Jenny told me, that I got her worrying and that I should take it easy. She’s really the sweetest there!
And that’s what I have been doing now. I am doing absolutely nothing but sleep, read, watch tv and eat
. I only go out
only when necessary like if I need to go for my bi- weekly injection to be done by a doctor. I try not to lift anything heavy although sometimes it does slip my mind and Jules would tell me: “Hey lady drop that!” I am very thankful for the full support my dear husband is giving me at this moment. He would be a wonderful father, I am very sure of that.
I am 8 weeks today, I am thankful for each day I wake up and my baby is still here.
wooah ah! And it does feel good

I am really happy after going to my scan last Tuesday my dearies. It’s confirmed, there’s only one baby and the heartbeat was better heard this time.It was the most beautiful sound I have heard! It was really an unforgettable moment.
Now I do feel a bit more at ease although I still can’t help but worry about my baby. I guess the worrying would only be go away when I have safely brought my baby to the world. I would be doing some more scans in a couple of weeks to see if the baby is healthy.
I am now 7 weeks and 2 days. I feel nauseous almost every evening and I feel like I have lost my appetite. I do force myself to eat though… after all I am not the only one in me who needs food.
I have to take a nap everyday….it’s just crazy. I have never napped since I was 5 years old.
As for the freaking spotting, I still get once in a while some spotting or vaginal discharge, I really cannot tell which is it but as long as it’s not red, I don’t freak out anymore.
So the last couple of days, I have been trying to get better informed on my pregnancy by reading pregnancy books and magazines. I especially like the book ” What t Expect when you are Expecting“. It’s full of information that is essential for pregnant women and it’s also very easy to read.
So anyhoo, I still need to tell you if there’s a baby or what right….well, had the scan last Friday. When I arrived at the clinic, the nurse checked my weight and I was surprised I didn’t gain weight but lost a few hundred grams instead.I don’t know if I should get excited or worried about this.
We did a pelvic examination and we did see one sac on the monitor but me thinks that my other baby is just hiding
but if not, it’s also alright. We have detected a faint heartbeat, my doctor said it’s probably because it’s still a bit early at 6 weeks and 3 days. I am really hoping it is because of that. Tomorrow we will do another scan to see what’s the deal with my baby. I hope everything is alright.
I am on my 6th week now, wheew! What a relief! After the spotting incident last week, I have been obsessively checking if my boobs are still tender and if there are no blood stains again in my underwear. I feel so nervous and cannot think about anything but my baby/ies.
I emailed my doctor too and he said if it only happened once, then there’s nothing to worry about and to take as much rest as I can. That’s what I did ( that’s why I haven’t been online much ) while I also scoured the internet for information about bleeding and from reading on the forums I found that this spotting could be normal. And most of my dear readers, ( yes you my lovelies ) and friends have also confirmed that they did experience this too. I felt a little bit better but still unnerved and insecure.
We are trying to think positive. In face yesterday hubby spoiled me and brought me to my favorite Spanish restaurant to eat what I am craving for, Paella. It was delicious as always. And aside from Paella, I also tried a new dish which is Sopa de Morisco (Seafood soup) which is now my second favorite. I love it so much, J (hubby) says he would make it for me this week. Yehey!!!


That’s all for now my lovelies, I am soryy I haven’t been visiting you back. I have been feeling very tired lately. I will try though as soon as I feel great.
Last night at about 9:30 pm, I had some severe cramping and went to the bathroom because I had to pee. When I checked my undies, I saw some brownish blood stain. It was a round 2 cm in diameter. I didn’t see any more blood after I have cleaned up.
After that I haven’t noticed any spotting or cramps till now. This is freaking me out… not knowing if my baby/ies are alright. I am now back to bedrest until furthur notice.
Has anyone here experience this during their pregnancy and still had good ending?
Knowing I was pregnant again was one of the happiest days in the last couple of months. But now I keep having this anxiety attacks. As some of you know, my first pregnancy didn’t work out as I though it would and now I am scared that it will happen again.
Maybe I am obsessing but when I wake up, I always check if my boobs are still bigger than normal. I don’t have an
I still need to wait 10 days for my first ultrasound where we could see if my baby/ies are alright…. Only when I hear the heartbeats will I feel relieved.
