19 May 2018 (18w): Pregnant swim

My home's balcony is facing swimming pool and I feeling the temptation to go swimming once I hit 18-week of pregnancy. 

Swimming is actually a gentle exercise for expectant. Swimming during pregnancy:

- Made us feel weightlessness
- Strengthens our heart
- Without aggravating our loosening joints
- Relieves tired muscles
- Relieves ankle and foot swelling
- Keep cool
- Improve labor and delivery

9 Aug 2018 (29w5d): Baby growth scan, start monitoring my weight gain

Go for baby scan is a happy yet challenging time for me. First time: Fixed appointment on 31 March 2018 (Saturday). When I called on 30 March 2018 (Friday) to double confirm, they told me NIPT Test can only be done on Monday - Thursday. Appointment has been cancelled. Second time: Fixed appointment on 12 May 2018 (Saturday). Nurse informed that has to reschedule the appointment because Dr. Paul has "an unavoidable matter" and we were forced to take a day off on 11 May 2018 (Friday) just to match his time. Third time: Can't fix appointment on 9 June 2018 (Saturday) because detailed baby scan can only be done on Monday - Friday. Forth time (This time): Fixed appointment on 9 August 2018 (Thursday) since early July. On 6 August 2018, nurse informed that has to reschedule the appointment with the same "an unavoidable matter" reason. I think I had enough of all these. And, we changed to Dr. Tan Ay Eeng. Baby growth scan usually will carried out between w2...

9 June 2018 (21w): Detailed baby scan

Detailed baby scan, also known as anomaly scan or mid-pregnancy scan or 20-week scan. These scan can be done at the 18-21 weeks of pregnancy. It takes longer than usual baby scan time, and depending on baby's position. The scan is to check if the baby developing normally and the mother's womb / uterus. Parents who skipped the NIPT Test, has a chance to find out the baby's gender now. As parents, all we want to hear is baby and womb are normal :) Dr. Paul Tay of Prince Court does not do detailed baby scan, reasoning his scanning machine is colourless  =.= The only person in Prince Court who can carry out detailed baby scan is Dr. Tan Ay Eeng. Again, detailed scan can only be done on Monday - Friday. So, we're skipping Prince Court once more. Columbia Asia saved us for another time. We done our detailed scan on a Saturday and costed RM 384.10.
