NT scan (Nuchal traslucency) at week 12

NT scan is know as nuchal translucency which is a test that carry out by ultrasound to indicate the level of the risk of baby having chromosome anomaly . Nuchal translucency is a collection of fluid beneath the fetal skin behind of the neck of the baby by measuring the thickness of the fluid to assess the chromosome anomaly. The NT scan usually perform during 11 to 13week of pregnancy. This is because if the test perform less than 10 week, the baby is so tiny to measure the thickness of the fluid and if the baby perform more than 13 week, the excess fluid tend to absorbed by baby lymphatic system and the accuracy might be drop.

NT scan know as most accurate non invasive test to detect any chromosome anomaly during the pregnancy. If the measurement less than 3mm, the risk of having chromosome anomaly will be decrease and if the thickness is more than 3mm, the baby having high risk of chromosome anomaly. Hence, if the measurement found out to be greater than 3mm, usually most of the doctor will recommend the mother to perform another definite result such as CVS or amniosentesis if necessary. This test carry a small risk of miscarriage, therefore this test only will be carry out for high risk mother. In the same time, the present of nasal bone and the shape is will be scan also during the scan. The absent of the nasal bone or shorter nasal bone is one of the sign to indicate the baby is in high  risk of chromosome anomaly.

Hence, i do perform the scan for my baby too. For the first time, my friend ms celynn the sonographer help me to scan my baby. But end up the whole 1hour the baby is not cooperating as the baby is lying up side down. For second attempt, i do it by my own and controlling the panel at the same time. Luckily the baby is in the correct position and the test is perform very smooth. Within 10minute i had finish the test by my own. Maybe the baby still wanna the mother to perform the test for him/her because all the scan previously is scan by my own. He/She is too shy scan by his/her aunty. Haha.

Below picture is the NT scan picture. Wonder why the measurement is not appear on the screen during save time. But all the measurement is 0.10cm or 0.11cm. Nasal bone is present. Overall appearance of the baby is in the nice condition, very active this time and not sleeping. The length of the baby CRL is about 5.54cm which is about 12week 1day.

Everything seems fine so far. Hope the bb continue growing healthily. Another 1 week will end for the first trimester.

Whole week sick during week 10 & active baby noted during week 11

For week 10, the whole week im feeling so sick and weak. I was keep sneezing, back pain , and little bit fever. But anyhow i still have to "tahan" it during scan. After finish work, will be on the bed directly. It was be very very tired. During morning time, mostly i lye on the bed too, i try to rest more myself before i go for work. Luckily my hubby is around, he helping me to do the packaging for the online order. I had consult to my dr too, they just let me know during pregnancy period no medication is allow except for the paracetamol. The dr even said if u can stand the pain , paracetamol u still need to avoid too. But end up, i had taken 1 tablet of paracetamol cause the migrain is super worst until i coundnt stand anymore. My hubby even send me to work all the way from bukit rahman putra to ampang and kota damansara too. Luckily the sick symptoms do not appear so sick during work time. It take about 1 week for me to fully recover. Most of the time i was on the bed if i do not have work on that day.

My back pain getting better up to today. No longer pain during wake up from the bed or turning around. I can walk more faster and more comfortable. Finally this early pregnancy symptoms dissapear  as im so worry it will last until the end of pregnancy.

However, even in the sick period, i do scan my little bb frequently to monitor the growing process. Luckily the bb growing good in my womb and he/she was super active. When the bb was in sleeping mode, i purposely cough harder to make he/she wake up. Afterthat the bb will be actively move. The moment is like so funny when the bb is actively move after i had make a hard cough. hand and leg grow even more longer and the feet can be notice. The lenght was increase everyday as the cell division is like super fast. I even capture the first 4d for the bb. It not really very clear yet as my womb is like more to deeper side, penetration for 4d not that good. Hence the images of the bb not that clear yet.

The most excited part is all the video session:
this video is trying to peek something ~~ hehe ~~ but end up i google is still super early to know the gender ~ coz the organ tend to appear the same for girl and boy

This video is also very nice cause can see the front view face of the baby~ and the baby is like waving the little hand ~ so cute 

This is the video during bb is 11week , he/she is super active kicking n turning here and there ~ 

This is the first 4D video for my little bb, even though is not that clear, but it quite fun to see the bb is moving in the womb. 

Everything seems fine so far. Hope the bb continue growing healthily. Another 2 week will end for the first trimester. The early pregnancy symptoms getting dissapear and my baby seems to getting stable in my womb as the placenta can b notice to. Next week would like to do the NT scan for the bb.

First movement spotted at week 9

Week 9 will be same symptoms like week 8 is just that the back pain getting serious and serious. I will feel the pain when i wake up from the bed, turn to side, even walk a little bit more also can feel the pain. In the same week, my hubby also hurt his back during loading some new baby stock to our house. Before that he cant understand how pain is my back pain, now he can feel how worst is my back pain is. He do massage for me, but after he hurt his back, both of us need to consult the Chinese tradition using infrared to cure the back pain by stimulate the blood circulation. After using the infrared technique, they will apply all the Chinese herb and stick on our back.  I remember the last Thursday, the same symptoms >> sleepiness is getting worse also. Whole day feel like sleeping and i can sleep everywhere and any time. Before i get pregnant, i wanted to have a short nap is so difficult for me. Nowadays, fall asleep is super easy. I had read some article parenthood also. They stated that during 9 week, the body can feel tiredness up to the max, and i have to take more rest as possible. This is due to more energy require to build the placenta, more energy to grow the baby as the baby can start to flex their muscle and support the growing uterus. No wonder the tiredness could not control at all, when i was feel sleepy, i must sleep on the spot also and many other works i need to delay it.

The most excited moment will be scanning the baby for this week. More distinct baby shape can be spotted and the most amazing moment is to see the baby movement. That moment is so miracle as so little small baby who just 2.5cm is started to wave the small little hand and leg inside the womb. But the movement is very less and just for awhile. Afterthat i try to peek the baby again, the baby is sleeping already. Every 2-3 days , the baby will grow and the shape is getting obvious. Just pray the baby will grow more bigger everyday. Another 3week can do the NT for the baby already. That time the baby can bouncing inside already.

Hope everything fine and my little one growing well. Would like to update your progress on next entry ~

Roller coaster at week 8

Week 8 is a terrible week that make me feel non-energetic like last time.  Not only feel back pain at the coccyx area only, will feel very sleepy and tired all the time. Feeling like wanna lying on the bed all the time. This make me feel myself like a lazy person. Besides that, sometimes craving for food, sometimes do not have the appetite. Oh no, how can it become extreme feeling. When im was craving for food, the hunger feeling is super hunger that make me need to take food immediately. When im was no appetite, make me most of the food do not feel like eating. Im feel myself started to choose certain food to eat. Some food previously is my favorite food such as curry chicken, steam fish etc, when the food arrived in front of me, i had a jerk feeling dont feel like eating it. The feeling is like if i eat the food i wanted to vomit out. Some food previously i do not really like to order such as ice-cream, cake etc. Suddenly look at the menu, the feel like feel eating and order it. I dun really like the taste but just feel like eating it. Kinda weird feeling.

Besides back pain, extreme hunger feeling, extreme no appetite, change of taste bud, the other feeling will be a depress feeling. All the while when i get to know im pregnant, i was like very happy to know about the news. When come to this week, im feel very depressed especially when get to know i was put on weight and many of the shirt cant wear. The tummy always get bloated and non comfortable. i had google about the weight increase for first trimester. Averagely will be only 1-2kg for first trimester. My weight had gone up 1kg plus. Many people notice i had grow bigger saiz. I was so sad if people told me that im put on my weight. Before pregnant, if i were know im put on weight , im sure will keep fit that make my weight go down. But after pregnant, it seems like less energetic make me burn less calories, extreme food intake for next meal after i cutdown some food for previous meal. It seems like out of control.

Everytime if i had time, im sure try to peek at my little one trying to see the progress. This week will be slightly weird for the measurement because all the while when im measure my baby, the saiz grow accordingly. Until the CRL is 1.88cm 8 week 3day, i was so happy because the baby seems like growing fast. 2 days later, i was like expect the baby is about 2cm. But the measurement just give me 1.63cm. Maybe there is some error for previously measurement or different machine giving different type of outcome. The last picture shows that some small tiny hand is growing, baby is grow in curve shape and started to grow like human shape already. Cant wait to see a more obvious human feature for the little one and start jumping inside.

Hope everything fine and my little one growing well. Would like to update your progress on next entry ~

Severe back pain at week 7

This week is a painful memory for me as i never had this severe back pain like this before. This pain can make me feel pain during walk, sit or even wake up from the bed. The pain will getting more serious especially when im sneezing. It kind of weird experience? But when im in static position, the pain doesn't come at all. So, this week i try to remain static rather than walk too much. Before pregnant, im experience a mild back pain especially i had 2 continuous whole day scanning. But the pain will gone after i had slept for that night, and it not severe till i cant walk or even turn my body. I had ask my doctor about it, they say is quite normal to have back pain during pregnancy. And im Google as well, many pregnant women experience the same thing during early pregnancy. Glad to hear that its quite normal and im not alone that experience the same thing. From what im know, usually back pain will happen after second trimester due to the growing belly and wrong sleeping posture. Im hardly hear others complain having severe back pain for early pregnancy. As what i search in Google, some people say severe back pain is due to the ligament stretching.

How to make the pain gone?
Massage the back will helps to reduce the pain. Secondly i try to lye on the bed as much as possible. Sleeping in flat position will make the pain gone for next day. I did not take any medicine as doctors and my friend say, during pregnancy try not to take any medication as it might hurt the early development of the fetus.

Add on for supplement
My friend recommend me a good pharmacist to me. The pharmacist recommend me few supplement for early pregnancy. Folic acid is a must for every day until second trimester. Multivitamin, DHA neurogain and calcium citrate. I had ask the pharmacist about the DHA as DHA normally taken after second trimester. He told me that the DHA is better to take as early as possible as well as the baby brain is develop started during the first trimester. If i did not taken any DHA during early pregnancy, the baby will take from me and my memory will getting worst. He also advice me not to take any soya until i had know my gender of my baby. This is because the soya contain oestrogen which is the feminine hormone. If i had a baby boy it cant affect my baby sex organ development but if i had a baby girl soya will be very safe for her.

baby scan picture for this week
This week im no longer measure the sac anymore, i started to measure baby from head to buttock we called it CRL (crump rump length). Baby seems like growing quite fast everyday and its grow about 1mm everyday. The fetus and yolk sac is getting more obvious to see. At the end of the week the fetus length now is about 1cm and the EDD always getting the same date which is 27 Dec 2014.

Hope everything fine and my little one growing well. Would like to update your progress on next entry ~

Excited ~ fetus heartbeat seen

I would like to update my little one progress ~
This week i'm over excited is just wanna see the baby heart beat ~ At first i had promise myself just to scan my little one once a week ~ this week is like scan every 2-3 days. Every time seems like purposely keep the full bladder to see the progress of the little one. Every time i saw the measurement of the gestation sac become bigger ~ i will feel very happy. And the first action sure whatapps the picture to the little one father and my buddies.

Below is the scan picture after 1 week of previous scan. Nowadays i will always lock the ultrasound door and scan myself quietly. when i look at the picture, first impression will be "wow" its bigger in double within 1 week time. I still just can see the gestation sac without the fetus yet. previous scan the sac it just 0.7cm, this time i had the measurement of 1.40cm. Its seems growing fast than what i expect.

Every time scan will feel the excitement, so another 2-3 days i cant wait to see the little one again ~ So, keep full bladder again and see it . 

This time i could see the a tiny thing (fetus heartbeat) is beating , but the little one still cant see clearly yet, just can see something is moving. Finally what i wait i had see it. It seems the gestation sac grow too big. Another 1 hour i decide to scan again and remeasure the sac , yes it got it abit different, this time is the correct measurement of the sac . Cause i had read some info , they say the sac will grow every 1mm every day , so 2.08mm > 6week 4day should be the correct one. For the second time i had taken the video as well to see the heart beating. I can see a white dot also but not very clear this time. Hope for the coming week i can see bigger clear cut saiz of baby. Really cant wait to see the little one to grow everyday. 

I havent do any checkup with any specialist yet. Will plan for a visit to dr by this coming week. All d while i just take my folic acid and herbal soup from my mum & my husband. My appetite is very good, & i was like keep hungry only. My waist is like growing also. Too sad to know the waist is bigger and the face is growing round. Besides that, i feel very tired too and fell sleepy every time. If i dun know im pregnant, i will fell myself like getting lazier. Lower back pain seems like serious for this week cause it seems too long of scanning session make my backpain getting worse. Breast tenderness like usual but it not as serious as the beginning. Feeling nausea on and off, but the feeling go off very fast also and it wont stay long. 

Hope everything fine and my little one growing well. Would like to update your progress on next entry ~
