This year’s Chinese New Year brought really good news. We found out that I am pregnant! We were trying for a few months and were overjoyed when the stick showed positive. We like the age gap between Izzie and baby because that means we don’t have to deal with two toddlers at the same time. It’s God’s timing! B did the announcement about my pregnancy to family and close friends.

Almost immediately after we came back from Penang, I started to spot lightly. Knowing I have history and a complicated first pregnancy, I made a decision to call the gynae’s clinic eventhough it was already 5pm and my appointment is actually two weeks later. Thankfully the nurse was helpful, took note of my concerns and told me that the gynae has a night clinic. I was directed to go to the bukit timah clinic at 7pm that day. We made arrangements for my mom to look after Izzie while B and I headed to the gyane’s night clinic.

The gynae was very empathetic. He did a scan and told us that baby looks okay but he didn’t know where the bleeding is coming from. He gave me an injection, some progesterone pills and two days mc. Praise God since then I haven’t been bleeding. Everyday I thank God that I’m experiencing what it means to have a normal pregnancy.

The nausea for this second pregnancy seemed worse but the good thing is that there is no actual vomit. I eat a lot more in this pregnancy than the first pregnancy. A little worried about overeating and weight gain, so I’m trying to control…

It seems so fast. I’m almost entering my second trimester. I’m so glad I don’t feel so lethargic now as during my first trimester. Now, it’s time to prepare for the addition to the family. God is faithful!
