8.05 am
slippery blood spotting with clear mucus
Pardon me if it is too raw to see, but I am too curious and also I never experience this before. Would like to archive this before I forget any of the details, hahahaha
8.13am
Got farting sound from my belly. Doesnt sound like from my own digestive system.
- last for a good 4 seconds.
10am : Inform my husband about the blood spotting. Husband ask me to stay calm and observe first. But I was a bit worry looking at the blood.
11am: Husband came home , send our daughter to my in-laws . Then go to PPUM together.
11.30am : After CTG (cardiotocography) scan, baby is active and normal as usual. No dilation. Doctor Teoh from PPUM give me a choice….
A. Admit and have induction .
B. Go home first, wait for the sign of labour (natural contraction, water breaking or lesser foetal movement)
==================== ๐๐๐๐๐====================
Interesting anecdote during cervical examination.
A male doctor insert his finger into my vagina. That is fine, i already know it would happen during whenever iopt for vaginal birth.
What i didnt really prepare is...it can actually be quite painful (or maybe because I am fear)
Then they paused for awhile to get me mentally prepared.
"If you feel pain because of this. THe labour would be even for painful. "
Me: the vaginal birth would be painful than this?
Nurse and doctor: Yea, but through vaginal birth, your body feel faster. and it is only pain during the labour moment. if you go for C-sec...then could be pain for 2 weeks.
So Dont lift your butt and move away.
Me: (inside thinking)
Yea, i think i would go for Natural birth. My baby and I plan for this too. It could be painful...but at least i experience it! and the milk will come faster also !
Doctor inserted his finger into my vagina again...
Me: (inside thinking)
It is painful, uncomfortable...but okay ler. bearable . This time I didn dodge away and lift my butt. It is actually less than than I expected.
Nurse: relax... and take a deep breath
Me: (inside thinking)
Deep breath really helps ler .

They suggest me to go for the natural contraction. The reason being is because, when the body has natural contraction, then perhaps i can straight delivery without any invasive induction method.
A. Inserting the balloon
B. Inserting a tablet in my vagina.
So I opt for the latter one, because i feel like that it would take longer time for me also...It is less invasive.. if i got for induction immediately instead of 2 days later, Thurs.
Urine test (FEmme? ) : shows that I have GBS (a type of bacteria commonly found in urinary tract during pregnancy. As a result, doctor advises me to come to hospital at once when there’s water leaking.
Because it is possible that GBS can cause early water leaking even before the real labour.
from 10am onwards :
Contraction like once every 1-3 hours. Iknow if every time during contraction... coz it's a bearable pain, but i would sweat for awhile one. And I am feeling extra vulnerable during contraction. So taking deep breath again...
Sending our daughter to my in-laws before going to PPUM
Day time checking : Go to Level 4 instead of Level 2 . It is also my first time going to Level 4.
Things to do before labour
1. Practise breathing technique
2. Watch normal birth video
Til then, maybe my next update would be after delivery already. Wish me luck and no tear and smooth delivery. Thank you !
Week 38
The first day of week 38 starts with urine leakage when coughing. This doesnt happen all the time. It only happens when I reluctant to go toilet even when i feel the urge to pee.
Week 38 kicked off with a bit of pee leaking when I sneeze. It doesn’t happen all the time—just when I hold it in even though I feel to urge to pee.
at week 38 day 2
I feel so strange to see how enourmous is my belly size from the side.
My cute daughter with her 2 favourite 'friends" the copper and the little bunny
This is the week which i feel vulnerable. Btw, I also took some photos of my belly. These few days..i am so obssessed with my belly (my baby)
WHen i am at rest...at home... I would just remove clothes to check on my belly.
I would be observe
the size
the little motion of my belly.
It feels so surreal.
Oh Yea, not forgetting that the kicking and punching from my belly is getting from intense.
Sometimes, some fetal movement also putting on stress on my pelvic bone. so I actually feel that pain during foetal movement even when I am sitting upright.

Yesterday 28th July, Mon. I had a sweet dream.
I forgot what i dream about. but the feeling is very incredible.
Basically i have 3 pregnancy (which is supposed to take place concurrently)...
The first pregnancy is ... i forgot...(basically i forgot the whole dream once I opened my eyes)
The second pregnancy is the one i am having now.
The third pregnancy is..i have a new house?
then...i Not sure what happen. but due to having all 3 pregnancy together, baby is bound to come out smoothly via vaginal birth. This keeps me excited!
Night time routine. Looking and playing and talking to my belly (to our second baby)
a lot of people said that I looks perfectly fine given that I almost give birth already. but actually it's quite painful whenever I have to bend down to pick up something from the floor given my increasing weight belly.
Monday - sending my dear daughter to school. She was sitting obeqiently at the backseat.
THen this little cutie came forward when she realised that I was taking cute photos of her!
Don't like to dine out/ go out
Nowadays. basically during the last 2 weeks before delivery...I really don like to go out.
Doesn like the feeling of bumpy car ride
Doesnt like to walk around with heavy belly
Constantly searching for bathroom in a new environment...
All in all, i feel that I am so ready. So ready to have contraction..but wait...i want to wait until the date turn August first. See you baby in Aug!
You will be showered with so much L.O.V.E ๐๐๐๐
This is the first time i feel that I ams o ready for something. So right now...i want to
1. practise breathing technique
2. perineal message
3. squat
4. Eat healthily -to avoidputting on too much weight.
WOuld this be my last time updating my dear blog before giving birth?
29th July 2025 - Week 37 +4
I hate those people who is irresponsible.
We have appointmen made earlier , if cannot make it, then reply la in the whatsapp, why lar always postpone only when I call. This is so irresponsible. LIke other people's time is not a time, is it?
1. the so - called respected VIP
2. the tenant who never pay for 4 months, and called, reply one msg and dissapear again.
Ilearn how to be careful when scanning for tenant. but when i scan for the right tenant, i still cant guarantee that Igot the right tenant. because it's hard to say. the problem mostly arise after 4-6 months on punctual payment.
