This week I will enter into the 3rd trimester of my pregnancy - the final league

"Dear Lord, please guide me Lord, gimme the courage, strength to run this final round. Let me carry baby to full term, and let me give birth naturally to a healthy baby. And if I may add Lord, let my labour be short and simple . Thank you Lord. Amen"

Last week, I went thru another round of pregnancy symptom that got me a bit worried. I was experiencing hardening at the abdomen (also known as Braxton Hicks contractions), which is quite common. But, mine come with aching muscle tensions on chest and back (about 1 hour plus usually) and followed by vomiting - then I felt relief. It happen almost every day, which is quite scary and I decided to call my gynae. But last week was Raya break and my gynae also went for his week long break. Thank God and thanks to the holiday here and there, I manage to just rest at home and recuperate after every episode.

Today, I managed to call my gynae and told him my symptom. He asked how regular is the contractions and the vomiting. After I told him (like once a day), he said ’emmm…..Any bleeding?’ Nope. He asked me to see him as scheduled this weekend. Waa…he sounded so calm, so I think should be no big deal - I hope. God be with me.

I might have another 10 weeks or so being pregnant - before I see baby. The feeling is really just all mixed - happy, anxious, excited, worried and etc. I also suddenly have this urge to clean and organise my little apartment. I think this probably is also known as nesting instinct - to prepare for the newborn. I cannot do much by myself, so my hubby is helping me and I also hire part-time maids. I just felt so relieve after everything is organised and I like to just sit in baby room and admire around

Despite the symptoms I am facing, I will still look forward to the next 10 weeks. I know for sure 2 exciting events coming up, my friend’s firstborn coming soon (same gynae and same hospital with me) and Christmas!
