Beautiful Disaster.

Y22 April 2006
I started feeling baby's movement on 14/4/06. it was soft and like a butterfly's fluttering its wings... i was so happy. on 18/4/06 i felt its kicking.... hubby was at work so i immediately called him to tell him of our lil one's progress. we are damn excited. on 19/4/06 which was hubby's 30th birthday, i felt it again and now its more frequent, i placed hubby's palm on my tummy and he felt it too.... we cant stop smiling and hubby kept on talking to baby.... now, i will always look fwd to his kicking and turning. it's not painful yet baby is still small and his bones are soft but wait till he's bigger and his kicking will be painful.

As the days passed by and my pregnancy stages progressed i felt that the pregnancy stage is passing so fast now i m reaching my 5th month it will be all over in 4 mths time. i wanna really enjoy this moment while baby is in me. i felt him and i love him. every dr visits makes me excited to see him. every pregress he makes, made me so happy. during my last visit i found out that i have thalassemia. a blood disorder. luckily tt i am a minor and hubby's blood is fine. so the risk is lower for baby even if he gets it he will be jt like his mommy... a minor. thank god for that. i dont wanna pass any bad genes to my baby....

night duty is becoming much easier for me. my appetite have improve tremendously and i ate alot and at regular time now. tho' i am not putting on much weight and my 4 mths tummy is not as visible, i am glad tt baby is well and fine. tt's the most important thing for me. i have not think of any name for my baby yet. i don't feel the enthusiasm in finding a name. don't know why. but we will be looking for a muslim baby names soon and find one tt have a good meaning. but finding a good meaning - name is not enuf. its the upbringing and teaching fm parents tt is the utmost important.

Week Seventeen
By week 17, your baby weighs about 4.97 ounces (140gm) and is 5.12 inches (13cm) long.
He or she has a much more normal "human" appearance now. She holds her head more erect and her body and limbs are longer in proportion to her head.
Pads are forming on his tiny fingertips and toes. Soon those individual swirls and whorls will be apparent.
Her eyes are looking forward now, but they are still firmly closed.
Meconium (composed of products of cell loss, digestive secretion and swallowed amniotic fluid), is accumulating in the bowel. This black gooey substance will become your baby's first poop!
The umbilical cord is growing thicker and stronger and continues to rush blood and nutrients to your growing baby.
If your child is male the prostate begins to develop.
Her skeleton is tranforming from cartilage to bone. The bones remain flexible to make the journey through the birth canal easier.

You are 14 Weeks Pregnant!

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOU
You open the refrigerator door, only to be greeted by the nauseating smell of garlic. But you LOVE garlic. Or rather, you did. Now all sorts of smells seem unappealing at best, and gut-wrenching at worst.
In fact, nearly 85 percent of pregnant women have at least one food aversion. One explanation, according to researchers, is that food aversions peak when hormones are fluctuating. As you progress through the second trimester, and hormones stabilize, your aversions may disappear.
And while aversions to coffee or alcohol may be your body's way of preventing you from consuming anything harmful to the baby, aversions to healthy foods should be treated differently. No, you don't have to force-feed yourself the detested item. Instead, find a palatable alternative that offers similar nutritional value.

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOUR BABY
Your baby is now about three-and-a-half inches long and weighs about two ounces. His or her neck is complete, and your baby even has fingerprints.
He or she is beginning to move around in the amniotic fluid, which, by the way, replenishes itself every three hours. Fetal movement, or "quickening," can occur as early as this week, so be alert for fluttering sensations in your belly. If you can't feel them, however, don't worry, they're more likely to occur between the 18th to 22nd week. In subsequent pregnancies, fetal movement usually is felt earlier.
