When I found out that the IUI (Intra-Uterine Insemination) was successful after just one cycle, I was in seventh heaven. I just could not believe that I was pregnant, not until I could see the fetus’ heartbeat on the ultrasound scan. However, when the…

Wacky Pregnancy Hormones
I had 6.5 hours of sleep last night. When I sat in front of my computer after breakfast this morning, my eyes drooped and my mind was shut instantaneously. I took a 20-minute nap after breakfast. Now, it’s 2pm and as I’m typing this, I can barely open my eyes and my mind is about to go…
Leg Cramps During Pregnancy
I had my 4th attack of leg cramp last night.

Relief For Varicose Veins
I finally bought myself a pair of support stockings from the pharmacy to relief the bulging varicose veins on my legs. The pair of stockings cost me RM89, freaking expensive! Though I had bought the stockings for 3 days already, I had only worn it once for half a day yesterday. It’s really troublesome to…

I Am Shedding Skin!
Something really funny is going on with my skin. I am shedding my old skin to get new skin! Remember I had posted earlier about my dry and peeling skin? First, the dryness and peeling were on my hands and tummy. After about 2 months of skin peeling, I noticed several days ago that the…
