Kronologi Kelahiran Anakanda Ahmad Iman Bunyamin Part 1

Sengaja Mama coretkan di sini kronologi kelahiran anak-anak Mama untuk tatapan kalian tika dewasa kelak. Moga kalian memahami bukan sedikit pengorbanan seorang Mama daripada mengandungkan kalian dengan penuh kasih sayang di dalam rahim Mama hinggalah di saat2 kalian dilahirkan. Semuanya tidak lari daripada melakukan pengorbanan demi suami dan anak-anak tersayang.


Isnin - 6/6/2011 
Sepertinya Mama sudah dapat merasakan sakit untuk melahirkan. Namun begitu sakitnya terasa ringan. Memang niat di hati Mama sebelum mengandungkan Bunyamin lagi, kalau sakit kuat baru nak ke hospital supaya tidaklah Mama terpaksa menunggu terlalu lama di wad sebelum dapat menatap wajahmu dik. Tidak Mama khabarkan kepada sesiapa termasuklah Ayah kerana rasanya dapat bertahan lagi.


Selasa - 7/6/2011
Sakitnya kuat sedikit dari semalam namun mengikut kiraan Mama masih jauh2 lagi jaraknya. Lebih kurang 1-2 jam sekali. Dan jangkamasa kontraksi itu juga masih terlalu singkat. Tapi hari ini Mama sms Ayah tika Ayah di pejabat memaklumkan keadaan Mama. Dikhuatiri apa2 berlaku sekurang2nya ada yang tau. Sempat lagi Mama ke rumah Tok Mama bersama Abang Iman. Kalau ikutkan petang tu Tok Abah nak hantar Mama balik tapi Mama masih larat lagi nak drive. 


Malam itu Ayah cadangkan kami ke rumah Tok Mama. Sebab kata Ayah esok Ayah kerja, lebih senang hatinya jika Mama di rumah Tok Mama sebab ada yang tengok2kan Mama jika tiba2 Mama sakit kuat. Masa ni semua orang dah Mama khabarkan tentang tanda2 sakit bersalin yang Mama alami. Kali ini tiada turun apa2 tanda sama ada air ketuban atau darah. Masa Abang Iman dulu turun tanda darah.


Rabu - 8/6/2011
Sakitnya makin kerap dan kuat sedikit daripada semalam. Jaraknya juga dah makin singkat iaitu lebih kurang 15-20 minit sekali. Tok Mama asyik2 bertanyakan keadaan Mama dan berpesan kalau tak tahan sakit gi hospital. Tapi Mama masih dapat bertahan lagi.


Hingga ke petang, sakitnya masih sama. Tapi jaraknya dah jadi 10 minit sekali. Ayah di pejabat juga kerap sms bertanyakan keadaan Mama. Sebenarnya sakit tu masih boleh Mama tahan lagi. Tapi memandangkan jaraknya dah semakin singkat, ditambah lagi dengan risaukan baby takut lemas ke apa, so Mama buat keputusan ke hospital malam tu lepas Isyak.


Lebih kurang jam 9.30 malam, Mama dihantar ke hospital oleh Ayah dan Abang Iman, Turut serta ialah Tok Abah, Tok Mama dan Achik Ana. Semua barang keperluan turut dibawa bersama kot2 la kena tahan wad. Selesai doktor memeriksa Mama, keputusannya Mama kena tahan wad memandangkan kontraksi dah ada dan jalan dah buka 2 cm. Sedih hati Mama nak berpisah dengan Abang Iman memandangkan Mama tak pernah berpisah dengan Abang Iman malam2 kecuali sekali je dalam entri ini. Waktu tu pun Mama dah mengandungkan Adik Bunyamin dan cuba membiasakan diri tidur tanpa Abang Iman.


So malam tu bermalam la Mama di Wad A Wing Hospital Taiping tanpa Abang Iman dan tanpa Ayah di sisi. Mama tak berapa lena tidur disebabkan riuh rendah dengan tangisan baby. Hehe..


Khamis - 9/6/2011
Hari ini Mama hanya duduk2 saja di wad. Kepala dah pening. Nurse pulak tak datang2 ke katil Mama. Hairan betul. Ni pengalaman baru untuk Mama sebab masa Abang Iman dulu Mama duk wad kelas 2 so memang selesa la. Nurse pun kerap datang cek tekanan darah dan suhu. Adakalanya check bilangan kontraksi. Di sini Mama macam tak wujud je. Hairan..hairan..


Tapi takpela, sebab plan Mama memang dah sakit kuat baru nak check bukaan (istilah perubatan dipanggil VE). Jarak kontraksi dah makin singkat iaitu 5 minit sekali. Masa ni ramai jugak yang kol dan sms bertanyakan keadaan Mama. Terima kasih semua... ;)


Masa melawat tengahari, Mama berpeluang bertemu anakanda tercinta. Rindunya Mama pada Abang Iman. Mama peluk cium berulang2 kali. Mama terpaksa keluar sebab Abang Iman tak boleh masuk. Peraturannya camtu. Manjanya Abang dengan Mama. Nak minum susu atas riba Mama, nak baring atas riba Mama. Abang Iman anak yang baik. Sepanjang ketiadaan Mama, Abang Iman baik2 saja.


Sebelah petang, keluarga suami pula datang menziarah. Alhamdulillah, akhirnya Mama dapat transfer dari Kelas 3 ke Kelas 1. Lega sangat2. Terima kasih kepada keluarga mertua yang sama2 tolong angkat barang2 masa nak pindah bilik tu... ;) Dah la barang2 macam nak pindah duk spital sebulan kan.. Haha..

bilik baru

wad 1B

Bila dah pindah masuk bilik berdua ni, baru la dapat luangkan masa untuk diri sendiri. Kalau tak Mama asyik nak tengok orang tu tengok orang ni sampai kepala pun jadi sakit. Sempat solat hajat moga semuanya dipermudahkan Allah...


Jumaat - 10/6/2011
Malam tadi rasanya kontraksi dah hilang langsung. Taktau kenapa. Tak rasa sakit langsung dah. Lebih kurang jam 3 pagi, bagitau nurse kontraksi dah takde. Nurse pun cek. Tapi nurse cakap kontraksi ada. Aik, peliknya Mama.. Tapi lepas nurse cek tu baru la rasa ada balik kontraksi. Malah semakin kuat daripada sebelumnya. Lega la jugak sebab risau jugak nanti kontraksi takde, doktor suruh discaj. Boringlah. Kalau boleh biarlah discaj bersama Adik Bunyamin.

tanda dot dot tu maknanya kontraksi tak kuat sangat

tanda garis panjang2 tu maknanya kontraksi dah kuat

Hari ini kontraksi memang makin kuat tapi masih dapat ditahan lagi. Ikut pengalaman lalu, kalau dah sakit camni, mungkin malam ni atau esok pagi dah boleh masuk labour room. Sebelah petang hampir maghrib, kontraksi dah makin kuat dan kerap. Dah 3 kali dalam 10 minit. Walaupun jangkamasanya masih sekejap2. Mama masih boleh sembang2 lagi dengan rakan sebilik, kira ok la lagi tu kan... ;)


bersambung...

Check Up 34 Minggu

Eh..dah 34 minggu dah Mama. Bermakna lagi 2 minggu genap 9 bulan. Makin hampir dengan saat2 gemilang menjadi seorang Mama... ;)


Semalam Mama ada check up dengan doktor. Scan untuk kali kedua. Nanti 40 minggu scan lagi jika berkesempatan sampai ke 40 minggu.


Doktor cakap semua ok. Doktor tanya dah tau ke jantina dan Mama jawab belum. Doktor tunjukkan kepada Mama jantina adik. Hua hua hua.. Nampaknya Ayah dapat kawan lagi la nanti. Kali ini boy lagi.


Walaupun Mama mengharapkan girl, tapi Mama tetap terima dengan senang hati dan gembira kalau boy pun. Anak Mama, zuriat Mama, darah daging Mama. Mama tetap sayang. Mama bawa ke hulu ke hilir selama 9 bulan, tentulah Mama sayangggggg... ;)


Takpela, mungkin yang ketiga nanti baru berkesempatan beli skirt kot. Hehe.. Mama gembira bila dah tau jantina ni. Senang Mama nak siapkan apa2. Walaupun rasanya semuanya dah siap kot. Termasuklah nama untuk adik. Hanya menanti kelahiran adik saja.


Rasanya mungkin selepas adik ni Mama nak lengkapkan penyusuan susu ibu selama 2 tahun dulu baru fikir nak baby girl pulak. Insya-Allah.. Mama nak besarkan 2 orang hero ni dulu. Bila dah faham bahasa senang sikit nanti Mama nak mengharungi suka duka alam mengandung untuk kali ketiga kan.


Mungkin ada hikmahnya Allah mengurniakan Mama putera lagi kali ini. Menjadikan putera Mama 2 orang sudah. Nanti senang la Mama nak ke mana2 ditemani 2 orang putera kacak kan. Kalau yang seterusnya puteri, rasa selamat la sikit fomfuan2 ni nak ke mana2 ditemani 2 hero ni. Alhamdulillah ya Allah... PerancanganMu itu semuanya tepat dan hebat...


Adik dan Abang.. Mama sayang kalian. Membesarlah menjadi insan berguna di dunia dan di akhirat ye sayang... ;)

Pandai Ke Pakai Tu?

Sekali terjumpa gambar ini tersorok dalam folder la. Sebenarnya gambar ni sengaja Mama snap nak cerita pasal pertama kali pakai tudung jenis butterfly. Walaupun pada mulanya tak reti dan terkial2, pas dah siap nampak cam ok la plak kan.

Masa ni sebelum gi kerja. Pagi. Sempat lagi bergaya dengan tudung butterfly. Hehe.. Tapi sebenarnya Mama tak pakai pun tudung ni ke sekolah pada hari itu. Mama pakai tudung yang biasa Mama pakai. Ni saja2 test je... ;)

Bila mengandung ni, tahap kepanasan memang meningkat. Orang sejuk Mama panas. Kalau cam sekarang ni musim panas, orang panas Mama adalah panas panas panas yang melampau2 taktau nak citer camne.

Tidur dalam bilik adalah tak boleh langsung sebab bahangnya membara. Oleh sebab itu, pemilihan pemakaian tudung juga turut bergantung kepada keadaan Mama sekarang. Ada la Mama beli 2,3 helai tudung jenis butterfly ni. Tengok orang pakai cantik dan kemas. Mama pakai taktau la camne kan.

Pakai la 2,3 kali je tapi tak tahan sebab rasa panas sangat. Mama rasa mungkin sebab Mama mengandung. Oleh sebab itu sementara ada orang dalam perut ni, Mama pakai jela tudung yang biasa tu je. Senang pun senang nak pakai. Main sarung je kan. Nanti pas bersalin baru pakai pulak yang jenis butterfly tu. Kalau tak pakai takkan nak gantung je kat belakang pintu bilik tu kan.

Aduh..melihatkan gambar ini, dan membandingkan saiz diri sekarang di cermin, sangatlah berbezanya. Terasa sangatlah gumuknya diri ini. Ni yang buat semangat semakin membara nak menurunkan berat badan masa dalam pantang ni. Masa gambar ni diambil Mama dah mengandungkan adik dah tapi masih di awal2 kehamilan. Perut pun tak nampak lagi. Badan pun belum berisi sangat lagi.

Moga Allah memberi kekuatan dan keazaman yang tinggi kat Mama untuk menjayakan misi peribadi ini. Ayah cakap kalau Mama berjaya menguruskan badan hadiahnya adalah percutian ke Langkawi. Yeay!...

Premium Beautiful...

Pernah dengar Premium Beautiful tak? Rasanya mesti pernah dengar walaupun tak berapa tau sangat kan. Mama pun ada satu. Mama beli pada tahun 2007 dengan kawan sekolah. Harga masa Mama beli tu tak berapa ingat dah. Bayar bulanan sikit2. Bila dah habis bayar lega rasanya.

Pengalaman Mama pakai PB ni memang best sebab badan rasa ringan je. Tujuan Mama beli PB ni adalah untuk jaga badan sebab masa tu memang plan nak kawen tahun 2008. Haha... Taknak la badan macam belon masa hari bersejarah kan.


Semalam Mama dapat mesej kat FB daripada Izyan Liyana. Beliau mempromosikan PB ni la. Tapi Mama bagitau beliau yang Mama dah ada PB ni. Tapi sekarang sedang mengandung memang takleh pakai la kan. Cadang2nya nak pakai masa dalam pantang nanti. 


Dulu masa dalam pantang Iman Mama pakai sesekali aje PB ni sebab masa tu tak sedar bahawa Mama ada benda yang hebat ni. Hehe.. Tah pape je. Mama beria beli bengkung lain yang panjang tu. Tengok iklan kat tv macam best dan senang je. 


Memang la senang pakai, tapi bila bergerak atau baring atau menyusukan anak, dia jadi longgar. Pastu dah tak selesa lagi dah sebab rasa menggelebeh. Camne la boleh tak terfikir nak konsisten pakai PB je sepanjang pantang tah. Pakai sesekali aje. Hehe...


Harganya memang agak pricy. Tapi menurut Izyan, anda boleh bayar ansuran. Caranya camni :


"Normally, harga Premium Beautiful untuk normal size is RM2400 and RM2600 untuk size besar. For this rebate nyer promo, you boleh beli denga harga member, which is RM2000 untuk normal size, and RM2200 untuk size besar. On top of that, setiap satu set Premium Beautiful yang dibeli boleh dapat rebate RM225.00. So, dah jimat banyak sangat tue...:)

Cara pembayaran, either full cash, RHB Easy installment (for those yang takder cash) or credit card. Untuk RHB Easy Easy installments, you can go as low as RM50 per month. Up to you...:)

This is a really good investment for your, sebab benda nie kiter nak pakai lamer. Body kiter pon kiter nak pakai lamer kan? Btul tak dear?"

Rancangan Mama dalam pantang ni nak pakai PB aje. Tak perlu membazir duit beli bengkung lain mahal2 padahal dah ada dah yang best dalam simpanan. Nanti lama2 almari yang kurus sebab almari yang pakai. Haha... 


Boleh baca testimoni yang Mama jumpa masa blogwalking di SINI ye... 


Juga rancangan Mama nak ambil set berpantang Shaklee saja. Sebab utamanya adalah ianya tidak panas. Serik ooo Iman kena jaundis dulu sampai 23.7 SB dia. Kalau nak add on pun mungkin pil prawan Leesa Formula sebab pil tu memang sesuai dengan badan Mama. Itu pun setelah Adik berumur sebulan kot. Takut2 jaundis naik pulak. Nauzubillahi min zalik...


Masa awal2 bersalin mungkin nak mandi dengan mandian TYT tu. Cam best jerk dengar iklannya (ni pengaruh iklan la ni...). Tapi ada kawan cakap kat sini ada jual mandian herba yang home made. RM10 je sepeket. Tu pun cam best jugak. Lagipun home made katakan. Mesti lagi best. Tengok la camne. Yang penting memang tanak beli la set jamu mahal2. Kang buat tak habis je.


Sekejap je dah bulan Februari. Tak lama lagi Jun. Adoi..tak sabarnya nak bersalin. Haha.. Sebab ada banyak rancangan menanti... ;)

Jadual Pembelian Shaklee

2011 terasa sangatlah sibuknya. Tapi Mama taklah terasa kepenatan seperti masa mengandungkan Iman dulu. Masa Iman dulu memang tak alah tapi dari start mengandung sampai bersalin memang badan rasa berat dan lesu saja. 

Mulanya Mama tak perasan sangat. Tapi makin lama makin sibuk dengan kerja, tapi alhamdulillah badan tetap bertahan walaupun mengandung. Mula la terfikir2, mungkin kesan Shaklee yang Mama ambil. Masa mula2 Mama consume Shaklee, Iman kecik lagi. Dalam 4 ke 5 bulan camtu.


Mula2 ambil memang terasa berbeza. Bertenaga, bersemangat, tak lesu, ceria. Tapi bila dah habis, malas nak beli mula la skip2 last2 tak makan dah selama lebih kurang 3 ke 4 bulan. Sampai la Mama mengandung semula, terasa perlukan suplement.


Dalam kepala memang tak fikir lain selain Shaklee sebab kesannya memang Mama dah rasa. Bila ada yang cakap "hanya yang dah rasa je tau", itu memang tepat. Kalau tak caya try la...


Sekarang ni memang Mama konsisten makan Shaklee saja. Untuk yang mengandung macam Mama ni perlu ambil :

• Vita-Lea Iron Formula
• B-Complex (Lengkap dengan 8 kumpulan B, termasuk Asid Folik)
• Vitamin-C
• OsteMatrix (Calcium-Magnesium)
• Omega Guard
• ESP (terutama jika selalu lemah dan tidak bertenaga)

(kredit to Kak Cery)

Sebelum mengandung Mama ok jerk bila telan semua vitamin di atas, tapi bila mengandung ni..aduhaii..rasa cam nak muntahkan balik je..loya la tak sedap tekak la..macam2..

Tapi alhamdulillah cuma tika trimester pertama saja. Masuk je trimester kedua, semakin kurang. Sesekali jadi jugak tapi taklah seteruk trimester pertama dulu.

Untuk maklumat tambahan, Omega Guard hanya mula Mama makan bila masuk trimester kedua. Ini penting untuk perkembangan otak bayi. Otak Mamanya sekali la ye. Hehe...

Oleh kerana sepanjang masa mengandung ni Mama perlu consume vitamin, dan of course la akan continue selepas bersalin juga, maka Mama dah buat jadual bila Mama nak kena beli vitamin daripada Kak N. Hehe.. 

Jadual ni hanya sebagai reminder sebab Mama pun adakalanya pening nak beli yang mana, yang nama apa, yang warna apa. Maklum la, bukannya farmasist kan... Hehe...

Inilah jadual ringkas untuk panduan Mama. Tujuan Mama buat jadual pembelian ini adalah :

• Nanti senang la Mama buat rujukan bila dah masuk bulan seperti dalam jadual. Tapi jadual ni Mama buat sampai Jun saja iaitu sampai due Mama saja. Insya-Allah jika berkesempatan Mama akan buat jadual untuk selepas pantang pula. Masa dalam pantang Mama dah buat keputusan nak consume set berpantang Shaklee saja...
• Memudahkan Mama bajet kewangan setiap bulan untuk suplement...
• Meyakinkan diri sendiri (dan mungkin pembaca semua) bahawa takdelah banyak mana pun kita perlu habiskan untuk vitamin.. Bukan setiap bulan pun nak beli semua jenis. Ada jenis2 tertentu saja.. Contohnya kalsium. Itupun sebab masa mengandung perlu ambil dos lebih...

Jadual pembelian Shaklee hingga bersalin (Jun 2011) :

• Kalsium (setiap bulan = RM49 X 5 bulan) = RM245
• Omega (bulan April = RM109 X 1 bulan) = RM109
• B-Complex (bulan Mei = RM43 X 1 bulan) = RM43
• Vita-lea (bulan Mei = RM71 X 1 bulan) = RM71
• JUMLAH KESELURUHAN = RM468

Banyak ke tak RM468? Memanglah kedengarannya agak banyak. Tapi perlu diingat kita bukan keluarkan segedebuk RM468 tu kan. Mama dah tulis siap2 bulan berapa kena beli. Cara Mama tetapkan bulan tu adalah dengan mengira bilangan yang perlu diambil seharian.

Contohnya Kalsium kena ambil 4 biji sehari. 1 botol ada 120 biji. 120 biji bahagi 4 biji = 30 hari. Maknanya 1 botol tahan 30 hari je. Sebab tu setiap bulan kena beli. Nasib baik murah... Hehe...

Oklah..rasanya ni entri terpanjang Mama taip di celah2 kesibukan ni. Ni pun break kejap sebab penat wat keje. Hehe.. Ok, nak sambung kerja semula... Di lain masa Mama cerita lagi ye...

Perkembangan Bayi : Trimester 3

sambungan ENTRI INI dan INI...

WEEK 27 : I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it!

fetus in seventh monthYour not-so-tiny-anymore brilliant baby(about 2 pounds and 14.5 inches long!) is slowly rotating in preparation to “head out.” Obviously, this doesn’t happen overnight, but when you start to feel an unfamiliar pressure on your cervix, you’ll know you’ve got a fully flipped baby locked and loaded for the countdown to their birthday! Even now, at the beginning of the third trimester, their little lungs are already capable of breathing air while the pulmonary vascular system can provide sufficient gas exchange and the central nervous system can generally regulate rhythmic breathing as well as their basal body temperature. For what it’s worth, at this point in a healthy pregnancy a premature child (with intensive care) could easily win on the show: “Survivor: The Early Years.”

WEEK 28 : Why, you look positively bovine!

fetus in seventh monthYou know how you’ve been feeling a bit like a barn with legs? Well, that feeling won’t subside before… well, you know, when you finally give birth. For the time being, you’ve got yourself a baby in the business of collecting fat and lots of it! In spite of the dubious joys of being a human-barn, this baby fat business is very serious and you’ve got to put up with it because it’s going to keep your little porker warm and healthy after birth. Other good stuff from inside: their eyes are doing lots of blinking this week because they’re now able to respond to light and dark. Also, their industrious little bone marrow is now a major construction site for developing red blood cells, while their super-cute adrenal glands are actually producing androgen and estrogen—which will stimulate your hormones to begin milk production. Can you say, “Moo?”

WEEK 29 : To pee or not to pee...

fetus in seventh monthIf you’ve been feeling butterflies moving around in your belly, it’s not just your run-of-the-mill pre-birth performance anxiety. No, it’s your amazing baby with a case of the hiccups: a fairly common occurrence at this point resulting from practicing breathing for their big birthday. In addition, to getting a round of butterfly-like hiccups, your little swimmer has arduously managed to accumulate enough baby fat to account for nearly 3.5% of their overall body weight. Yeah, compared to we adults, it’s not a lot, but when they’re little like that—it’s certainly a healthy (and warming) accomplishment in its way. Another fantastic accomplishment: your baby's spleen is now in charge of hematopoiesis—the 10 dollar name for the process involved in building up certain important blood components. Another fantastic-accomplishment: your little monkey has been peeing into their amniotic sac for a little while now (this is why potty training takes a while) and if you didn’t know, actually swallows it along with the rest of the amniotic fluid. Although the concept is nasty, their urine is sterile and as part of the amniotic fluid base, is replaced several times throughout the day. So if you didn’t know before, now you can tell people, that yes, you drank your own urine—you were still in the womb, but nonetheless, you’ve been there.

WEEK 30 : Goodbye monkey baby, hello roly poly!

fetus in seventh monthThe light is visible at the end of the tunnel! Your oversized self and amazing growing baby have finally reached the single digits (in terms of weeks till birth)! The fine lanugo hair that has been growing all over their little monkey-like body is going to start falling off this week in preparation for the big day. But don’t be shocked if they’re hairier than you’d anticipated, some babies keep their lanugo until after birth. Still, it’s not any cause to be concerned as it will fall off eventually. No surprises here: your little porker is getting even cuter with increasingly pudgy arms and legs this week thanks to the ever-growing layers of subcutaneous fat. In terms of numbers, your baby should be weighing in at around 3 pounds 12 ounces (or more!) and be nearly 16 inches long.

WEEK 31 : Another day... another ounce

fetus in seventh monthYour not-so-little-one is just a bit closer to their birth weight and height at around 4 pounds and 17 inches. With each added layer of baby fat, your baby's skin starts to look more and more like it will when they finally get to see the light of day. The heavy news: you can expect your miracle-gro muffin to gain about a half a pound of weight per week from now until about two weeks before birth. Great. That's just what you needed. Even more weight to carry around!

Your baby's still-developing immune system has gained substantial strength over the past few weeks getting them in full gear to face our disease-ridden world o’ wonders. Obviously, a large majority of your child’s immune strength will be derived from exposure to breast milk as well as the outside elements. Their cute little noggin’ (which could already be covered with luscious locks or just purty peach fuzz), is still soft because the skull bones have not yet fused together. As much as that sounds a little too vulnerable, their “skull softness” allows for a much smoother passage through the birth canal during labor—something both you and your little swimmer will appreciate when it’s finally time to “go!” Also, some babies will have that “soft spot” on their head for up to one year after birth.

WEEK 32 : Mommy, you're HOT!

fetus in eighth monthIn the latest womb reports, your amazing baby has now developed sensitivity to temperature! This means you’ll probably get a swift kick if you put a hot pad on your ginormous belly. For the Elton John lovers out there-- yes, baby’s got blue eyes. At this point, all babies do, although depending on their chromosomal disposition, this could easily change after birth (or even between now and labor), but for the time being, blue it is. Thanks to their recently matured lungs and a remarkably strong immune system, over 90% of babies born in their 32nd week, survive premature births. So it’s pretty much a done deal. Even if your little monkey’s planning on heading out early, their survival odds are in everyone’s favor. Time to celebrate (no, no, wait until after the birth to crack open the champagne!) We’re talking baby-showers and alcohol-free punch!

WEEK 33 : Is it just me or is getting a little cramped in here?

fetus in eighth monthFor all the weight and bulk you’re lugging around these days, you’d think your little champ should weigh much more than a mere 5 lbs and measly 17 inches in height, but nope, that’s about the average size for a baby in its thirty-third week. In terms of appearances, they’re getting cuter and pudgier every minute as they pile on the baby fat for those adorable little wrist rolls and chubby toes. And as we’re sure you’ve already noticed they’re getting stronger with every passing day. Nowadays, it’s possible to observe a well-placed kick just by watching your belly—but you already knew that didn’t you? Although they’re getting stronger, your bigger-by-the-day baby is losing space to move around, so the actual rate of movement will drop off in the last few weeks, despite that powerful drop-kick they’ve been working on. Hey, did you know you’ll continue feeling their movements even during labor?

WEEK 34 : Upside-down baby!

fetus in eighth monthYour amazing baby is on the move! They’ve been riding fairly high in your stretched-out womb till now (while kindly compressing your poor internal organs), but now they’re planning on making the big move to your pelvis this week. If you haven’t noticed it already, you’ll be feeling the weight shift that signals that your baby is most likely out of breech position, with their head now resting on your pubic bone. In liver news: although not quite fully formed, your little miracle’s liver is now capable of processing a certain amount of waste. In general, most of your child’s prenatal physical development is pretty much up to snuff and ready for the outside world. Naturally, further weight gain is expected—so you’re still not at maximum capacity despite probably feeling like you definitely are maxed out.

WEEK 35 : Hey! It IS getting cramped in here.

fetus in eighth monthCongratulations! You’re now carrying nearly 6 lbs of baby not counting their amniotic fluid, the umbilical cord, or the placenta itself. We’re impressed because that’s a LOT of work non-stop. Are you feeling proud of yourself yet? Well, get to it—you’ve done an amazing job! At this point, your little grower is almost busting out of the womb size-wise, which make their restricted attempts to move much challenging. Of course, your stubborn little sucker is still trying to move around as if they weren’t in a cramped space. And the accumulationg baby fat deposits are starting to level off so your little butter ball will be padded and warm when they head out of their super snug little home.

WEEK 36 : Wee fingers o' steel

fetus in ninth monthThe countdown continues… and in fetal developments: most of the bones (soft skull aside) in their little body are now completely hardened, providing a solid structure from which they can now make their grand debut into the world. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are structurally ready for a secure launch. In physical fitness news: their muscle tone has also improved over these past few weeks, and you’ll definitely be impressed by their steel-like Ulnar grasp (a newborn reflex that occurs if you lay your finger in their palm). And in genital development: if you’re having a girl, her labia are now fully developed. Finally, in the fluids/excretion department: the amniotic fluid-to-baby ratio has fallen over these past weeks, although they’re still swallowing fluid (building up even more meconium for that historic first poop), and some vernix caseosa. They will be more than ready to swallow and digest milk after birth. Just in case you didn’t get it quite yet: you’ve got yourself an adorable and hungry 6.5 lbs 20 inch baby—are you ready?

WEEK 37 : And we're ready for take off!

fetus in ninth monthIt’s the calm before the storm. Changes in your baby's weight have leveled off with only a few ounces of fat added this week. At this point your baby should weigh in at around 7 lbs and 20 inches (with boys somewhat heavier and longer than girls). Happily, as far as internal organs go, they are now developed enough to function in the outside world although the oh-so-important immune system is still developing and will continue to do so after birth. With a large boost of antibodies provided by breast milk when nursing begins. Fighting infection and staying healthy should be well within their physical capacity when your little fighter is born.

WEEK 38 : Stuck in a holding pattern

fetus in ninth monthAs you know, you've arrived at the final leg of your pregnancy journey, and if you're still carrying your little love around, they've just about reached their birth weight (somewhere between 6 to 8 pounds is average depending on whether they're a boy or girl). There really isn't a lot to report on baby this week, so lets do a quick recount of where we're at: all internal organ systems are pretty much ready for the outside world, they've got their meconium stockpile building up (their first black baby poo), lots of healthy baby fat, a rapidly developing brain (that'll keep growing with them for years to come), and they've more or less reached official baby status-- all they need to do is "head out" and say hello to the rest of the world and especially their ready-to-pop momma.

WEEK 39 : The waiting game...

fetus in ninth monthWhether you give birth tomorrow or next week, it's pretty much all the same for your baby, who is now truly R-E-A-D-Y to face the big bright world outside of your womb. Speaking of wombs, your body is priming up for the big moment and hopefully, you're as prepared mentally as you can be. Your baby is well stocked up on fat, all their organs have put on the finishing touches. Here's hoping your child is already in the birthing position and basically just "hanging out" waiting for that elusive moment when all systems synchronize in your body to trigger the labor process.

WEEK 40 : Three, two, one... BLAST OFF?!

fetus in ninth monthThis is it. If you haven’t already gone into delivery, we’ve officially arrived at that time where all you’re doing is trying to patiently play the oh-so-maddening waiting game. Your long-awaited miracle is undoubtedly just as impatient as you to get things moving along. You can generally expect a head-first delivery unless your healthcare provider is unable to coax them out of breech position, in which case their feet come first. After nine months of waiting and even after your wonder-baby is finally out, your doctor or midwife will probably make you wait another five minutes while they give your child an Apgar score (see below); suction any fluids or mucous that may be blocking their newly exposed airways; and clean the remaining vernix and blood from their little body. After all the waiting, you’ll finally get to hold your exhausted little love-bug. Just a heads up: it’s fairly common for newborns to have a bit of chapping or even red rashes on their skin. Gerber babies don’t just pop out sparkly clean and smooth from the womb.

It’ll come whether you’re ready or not, so grab your bag, call the doc, get a hold of the grandfolks-to-be and get ready to execute your much-rehearsed plan of action. PLEASE DO NOT put the pedal to the metal. Labor typically last 13 hours (8 hours for mothers who have delivered once already), and getting to the birth center 10 minutes earlier isn’t likely to make a big difference. Try to keep a level head and drive safely: there’s a lot at stake.

Sambungan ENTRI INI...

WEEK 14 : Shake it baby!

fetus in fourth monthIsn’t it glorious? You and your little buckaroo have roped your way right into trimester numero dos! Are you ready to rock!? Okay, okay… maybe just a little rolling and poking. Needless to say, your baby will definitely be making themselves known in the upcoming weeks. At about 3.5 inches long, their little body and limber limbs are coordinated enough for loads of complicated motions. In fact, their whole body is moving right now! You're not feeling it because their current size is still a bit too small to make an impact you'd recognize. Still, their movements are recognizable on an ultrasound. Speaking of which, you shoud be scheduling one with your health care provider! Week 16 is the classic date as you can usually determine whether your little one is going to pee standing up or sitting down. Your baby is also starting to develop the ability to move their eyes this week, although the eyelids still remain fused shut. What's more, they can make all sorts of fun facial expressions as they practice squinting, frowning, and grimacing. Cute development of the week: their little hands can grasp at things and they may already be sucking their thumb!

WEEK 15 : Your little hairy baby

fetus in fourth monthYour nearly four-inch long gymnast is happily mobile inside your womb and if you're really lucky, you’ll notice a point when your sneezing, coughing or laughing results in a little kick here or a poke there. Still, many women don't feel anything until the 17th week or later. Although the poking and kicking isn't very charming during sleeping hours, it’s a good sign as it means your baby is actually reacting to outside events. Yay! You’ve got yourself one active healthy baby! Their little elbows and knees are bending more freely this week and their little legs are finally growing longer than their arms and getting pumped up for prenatal Richard Simmons. Many of their major organ systems are increasing in capacity—particularly that amazing tiny heart and complex circulation system, which is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood per day, and will increase to a very impressive 200 quarts per day by the end of the pregnancy. As far as hair goes, we’ve got some new scalp patterns beginning to develop on the head, although actual head hair is not yet present.

WEEK 16 : Time for ye olde ultrasounde

fetus in fourth monthOver the past three weeks your astounding growing baby has managed to stretch yet another 2 full inches (totaling about 4.5 inches) and weighs around 3.5 ounces. Yessireee, that’s some pretty serious growth... and with it comes several physical developments! For starters, their head to body ratio is finally starting to even out a bit as the rest of the body is actually growing faster than the head at this point. Yes, your little light bulb is not so top-heavy. Their adorable little limbs have lengthened, almost reaching their normal proportions which they will have at birth. Their eyes are still closed but moving and if you had an ultrasound, which many doctors recommend you have at about this time, you may even see your little one sucking on a thumb, not to mention the necessary signifiers to let you know whether you’ve got a wee lad or lassie.

WEEK 17 : Grow Team Grow!!!

fetus in fourth monthDon't be too shocked but... your baby is EVEN bigger than it was last week, not to mention getting cuter, and smarter every day! As you’ve come to expect, there’s no shortage of growth and development this week: your fantastic little bean stalk has added yet another half inch to their overall height-- making them nearly half a foot long! Their little limbs have reached (or are within one week of) their relative proportions, and will continue to grow evenly with the rest of the body after this week. Reactive listening has begun for your baby, even though their ears are not yet structurally complete or fully functional. Meanwhile, different parts of their astonishingly complex brain are developing to process your little one’s hearing and other senses, (you know, sight, smell, taste and touch). Mind boggling factoid of the week: if you’re having going to have a little girl, her ovaries have already produced millions of primordial egg cells, which, within a few weeks, will develop into actual eggs! Phew… just wait till she’s a teenager eh?

WEEK 18 : Your cute little greasewd piglet

fetus in fifth monthWe have two more ounces! Your "getting bigger-n-better by the minute baby" is already up to 7 ounces and 6 inches! This is a big week for their baby skin. There are now two distinct layers—the epidermis (or the surface skin) and dermis. Currently, their skin is covered with a greasy, waxy, cheese-like substance, known as vernix caseosa. Sure, it sounds pretty nasty, but this mixture of fatty secretions covering your little swimmer from head to toe is the best way to protect their oh-so-thin skin from bruising and abrasions as well as chapping caused by amniotic fluid exposure (and your little one is swimming in that stuff!). Still don’t like the fact your little darling is currently slathered in fatty cream like a greased pig? Well, you know the birthing process? Where you have to push something the size of a watermelon out a hole the size of a grape? That adorable little greased piglet would have a lot harder time getting through the birth canal without the vernix caseosa. Fun fact for momma’s with baby girls: it’s a uterus within a uterus! Your little girl will have developed a uterus and vagina canal by the end of this week.

WEEK 19 : The poop factory is now open

fetus in fifth monthYour amazing little baby is now around 10 inches in length! If this seems a bit shocking, you’ll be relieved to know they’ve not actually grown over 3 inches, but that their little legs are now straight enough to be measured. This is when doctors begin measuring fetal growth from head to toe, (no longer “crown to rump” or CR). Lanugo (little hairs) covers their whole body now, trapping that charming cheese-like vernix caseosa (see week 18) to the surface to the skin. This week your lil’ fetus will start on an appetizing diet of amniotic fluid which they are now capable of swallowing, digesting, and passing the fluid as far as their tiny “large” intestines. Fortunately for you, this nice little lump of baby-poop won’t be coming out while they’re still in your womb. Some time shortly after they’re born, this fun lump will become the first in a long line of baby poops. (What finally comes out— commonly known as “meconium” to the science world, will be black and sticky, and you’ll be very glad it happens only once!)

WEEK 20 : Congratulations, you now have a mini-baby!

fetus in fifth monthThis week you're carrying about 10.5 inches and 10.5 ounces of solid baby-miracle-goodness! Their little delicates bones continue to ossify and toughen while their itsy bitsy finger and toe pads are finishing up. Your little monkey now has teeth buds, although they’re hidden beneath the gum line. And finally! Their limbs have reached their relative proportions—no more alien baby! Their cute pink lips are more defined, and might be helping out in a bit of prenatal thumb-sucking. If you have a little boy, then their tiny testes are descending, though they have not yet passed the abdominal wall. What’s more, eyelashes and eyebrows are also visible. At this point, your little one really looks like a miniature baby—and we do mean miniature as your little swimmer currently weighs a mere eighth of their final birth weight. With half the pregnancy behind you, the most significant gains are yet to come!

WEEK 21 : Look Mommy, I'm dreaming!

fetus in fifth monthYour beautiful little miracle-gro baby will be putting on a full ounce and a half this week (and weighing up to 16.5 ounces), but that’s just the beginning! Within the next five weeks, they’ll really be packin’ it on! For now, we’re pleased to report the addition of rapid eye movement (REM) a key component to any healthy baby’s sleep schedule. While in the dermatology department: their thin soft skin is very red, rather translucent, and a bit wrinkled. Not to worry, it’s not a premature aging disease. It's just their clever little body setting them up with extra space that will smooth out once your little one starts packing on the baby-fat. That won’t be for a few more weeks, though. So for the time being, your munchkin is still a little lean mean growing machine! The beginnings of what is commonly called “brown fat” is just starting to fill in to help your baby retain some body heat, which is crucial as they’re not yet capable of regulating their own body temperature.

WEEK 22 : Welcome to raisin country!

fetus in fifth monthThe grow must go on! No wonder you’re getting so big, you’re now housing a wonder-baby who weighs nearly a pound and measures nearly a foot in length. Their perfect little pancreas is now further developed and they’ve also started producing their own hormones! Your baby's future in the circus as a world-famous tight-rope-walker is secure: their inner ear is now developed to the point that they have their own sense of balance. Lucky for your little explorer, balance also promotes physical dexterity, which has them actively feeling out their surroundings where skin, body parts, and the resident umbilical cord are the big sensory experiences. Your foot-long baby, is looking a bit like an oversized raisin right now as more and more wrinkles are showing up each week. Not to worry, all that excessive wrinkling is just their skin’s way of planning ahead for the time when they’ll start piling on that irresistible baby chub.

WEEK 23 : Dancing baby alert!

fetus in sixth monthAt this point you’ve pretty much adjusted to the fact you’ve got a moving little gymnast inside of you, but now they’re going to kick up the party a notch because they can hear and react to sounds from the outside world. Sounds from your alarm clock, a thunder roll, or that darned car honking at you across the intersection can actually jar their little ears enough to elicit a kick or violent bout of squirming. Of course this also means that their little ears are picking up the sounds of your voice and those near you. So go ahead, sing a lullaby to your little angel—if they start kicking, it’s likely they just want you to stop… or maybe it was a kick of approval? You decide. Your baby's tiny taste buds are still growing and their bones are continuing to ossify (harden), their tiny veins are visible through their translucent yet wrinkly skin. (Think of it this way: they’ve been swimming in the equivalent of a long hot bath for the past 23 weeks, so you can’t blame them for being a little prune-like.)

WEEK 24 : Breathe baby, breathe!

fetus in sixth monthThis is another big week for your magical growing baby! Just take a look at the checklist for this week: 1) ears: done; 2) fingernails: done; 3) (if you have a boy) testicles: taking their 3-4 day trip from the abdominal wall to the scrotum; and 4) lungs walls: secreting “surfactant”. What’s that? Well, surfactant is sort of what it sounds like: a surface-activated fat whose main purpose is to assist the your baby's little lungs during inflation (as in, filling with air, not getting more expensive). Just in case you’re curious, your submerged baby is still breathing in amniotic fluid, preparing and rehearsing the lungs an oxygen-filled life outside the womb. By the end of this week, your child will be weighing around 2 lbs and 14 inches long. Your cutie-patootie may even be a little more plump, but isn't anywhere near their full baby-fatted cute-self. Most of the “filling out” is coming up in that long awaited (and slightly dreaded?) third trimester. Woo-hoo! Get ready!

WEEK 25 : Turn it around... and around

fetus in sixth monthYour little grower’s physical proportions are evening out at this point and most of their remaining development will largely be weight gain and lots and lots of nervous system development. The good news is: if your child is born premature now they’ll be more likely to survive without too much trauma as their lungs began to produce “surfactant” last week, which means their tiny respiratory system is getting stronger with each passing day. Yes, now’s a good time for a minor sigh of relief and a quick pat on the back. All that hard work and conscientious living is really getting your child prepared for a healthy delivery. Keep up the fabulous work mama! This week they’ll be scootching slowly out of the old breech position and start rotating (already!) into a better position for exit during their birth. Their head and feet are slowly rotating so that the head is pointed down towards the birth canal. Time is short (or really long, depending on who you ask)—just (still!) 14 weeks left before you can go back to being a single-resident human.

WEEK 26 : Eye see YOU!

fetus in sixth monthAt long last, your little swimmer can see the womb! Your miracle’s little eyelids have finally separated (they were fused closed previously) and they’re probably having their first moments of sight as you read this (or maybe it already happened while you were brushing your teeth or watching Oprah or something). In addition to seeing their little studio in your belly, they’ve recently acquired the ability to say “yes” and “no” in rudimentary sign language as they can now move their head back and forth. This is also the time where your little super star’s head hair is starting to grow! A cute little cowlick or two may be springing into position right now, getting ready for years of cute-but-stubborn bed-head. Also, their toenails have grown in and you little raisin continues to slowly pile up fat beneath their still-loose skin. Most importantly, brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace, increasing their (genius-level?) brain activity and will continue to function at accelerated levels for the first seven to eight years of childhood!
