Salam.
Still remember me?
It has been 2 years since the last time I blog. Ohhh it has been ages! I know right. And I AM NOW A MOTHER. Can you believe it? How fast time flies.
Well, I haven't shared much about my pregnancy journey but I've been journaling through each trimester to remember all the precious moments. So here is the story of how we found out we were expecting.
15 January 2021 kicked off with two lines on a stick. I just can't believe what I saw. It was slightly faded but still, it showed TWO LINES!
My reaction: I was shaking and excited and confused. To be honest, I wasn’t ready for pregnancy. I always told my husband "I want to be pregnant next year!" LOL! I had no doubt that I always wanted a baby but since I'm still attempting to finish my master's studies so I think it's not the right timing to have one as I don’t know if I would balance it all. Shock but I am super excited and happy! Alhamdulillah rezeki.
The first thing I did was texting my mother, mother in law and my sisters.
Actually, I planned to not telling my husband and wait until my husband's birthday 4 days away which I thought was good timing. But I couldn’t keep this secret. Hahaha. I just want him to know that there is a baby inside me!
So I told him "I am pregnant" and he was laughing. At first, he thought I bergurau because I told him I wanted a baby (well I'm not ready actually but I was just usik my husband) till I show him the pregnancy test! WE ARE REALLY PREGNANT!
I decided to not post about it online because I just feel like I wanted to keep it a secret and I wanted some personal space. I only shared the news with my close friends tho.
So yes the "secret" weeks started with only my husband and family knowing.
It was the first time I do the pregnancy test since we got married (we have been married for 3 months at that point). The thing that made me suspect the pregnancy was the soreness and tenderness of my boobs more than I've ever had, so I had a crazy thought that I might be pregnant so decided to take the test without my husband knowing. Hehe.
We went to the clinic the next morning to confirm the pregnancy, the result was positive but it was too early and the doctor asked me to repeat the test in a fortnight (it felt like an age) and schedule an appointment. I didn’t have any symptoms except soreness of the breast and sensitive nipples. Btw, I've never had a regular period cycle so I tak pelik if it wasn’t on time.
But I was so confident that I am pregnant tho, haha, so we went to the pharmacy and grabbed a prenatal vitamin. I chose folate from Appeton (tak ingat how much it costs)
Feb 8 was the day I'd been waiting for, the booking appointment!
I had my very first ultrasound and the doctor confirmed I'm around 4 weeks pregnant! Alhamdulillah. All praises are to Allah. It's really such a blessing to be able to experience pregnancy - such a beautiful journey. Subhanallah.
InshaAllah I will share my pregnancy journey soon!
Till then.
