Week 34 of Pregnancy




 Week 33  


Slowly packing for hospital bag. Went to buy the first ever set of clothes for my baby boy. THis would be his clothes when discharge from hospital.  



Just because i am now in my third trimester, i am still working. Including maintenance during the weekend. 



Take out all the new born related stuff from storage space.  THings like new born clothes, breast pump set,  breast milk bag are all taken out. 



On TUes..i think..

My hair is too long. and it's very hot for me, I cant tolerate it anymore. I went to get a haircut from belwo shoulder length to the length below (slightly same level with shoulder). I think it more than 3 inch cut. 




Today , it is midnight 2.26am 
As I am writing to archive this lovely space here. I am feeling tired. but not sleepy. 
I guess because i have drunk milk tea in the evening, that cause me able to sleep for long duration despite of the sleepiness. 


Also , i feel irregular mild sharp pain at my pelvic bone. Curious, I woke up to google the reason why. 
Here's why 

========== ❤❤❤❤❤ ==========

Yes, it can be normal for a pregnant woman to feel pain or pressure near the tips of the pelvic bone when the fetus shifts position, especially in the third trimester. Here's why:

💡 Possible Reasons for Pelvic Bone Pain:

  1. Fetal Pressure: When the baby moves into a certain position (especially head-down or "engaged" in late pregnancy), the head or limbs can press against the pelvic bones.

  • Engagement Pain: As the baby "drops" lower into the pelvis (lightening), the pressure on bones, muscles, and nerves increases.

  • Nerve Compression: Sometimes, a baby’s position can press on nearby nerves (e.g., the sciatic nerve), leading to sharp or radiating pain.


  • ✅ When it's usually normal:

    • Pain is brief, position-dependent, and goes away with movement or rest.

    • It feels like a deep ache or sharp jab, especially when baby moves or kicks low.

    ❗When to seek medical attention:

    • Severe or constant pain.

    • Bleeding, unusual discharge, or contractions.

    • Pain with fever or burning sensation when urinating.

  • ========== ❤❤❤❤❤ ==========



    QUESTION 2  : is it normal that sometimes the belly hard like egg shell during the third trimester?


    es, it’s very normal for your belly to feel hard like an eggshell at times during the third trimester — especially as you get closer to your due date. This is usually caused by:


    ✅ 1. Braxton Hicks Contractions (“Practice Contractions”)

    • What they feel like: Your belly suddenly becomes very firm or tight, then relaxes after a while.

    • Common in 3rd trimester (sometimes even from 2nd).

    • They are irregular, usually not painful, and go away with rest, hydration, or position change.

    Signs it's Braxton Hicks:

    FeatureBraxton Hicks
    Duration~30 seconds to 2 minutes
    PatternIrregular, doesn’t get stronger over time
    Pain levelMild or just uncomfortable
    TriggerOften after activity, full bladder, dehydration
    ReliefBetter with rest, water, or changing position



    ❗When to Be Concerned:

    You should contact your doctor or midwife if the hard belly comes with:

    • Regular, painful contractions (could be early labor).

    • Severe pain, especially if it's sudden.

    • Bleeding or fluid leaking.

    • Decreased fetal movement.

    • Fever, dizziness, or unusual symptoms.


    💡 Tips to Ease Discomfort:

    • Drink plenty of water (dehydration triggers Braxton Hicks).

    • Change positions — lie down if standing, or walk if lying.

    • Take slow, deep breaths.

    • Try a warm shower to relax your belly muscles.


    In summary:
    A hard belly like an “eggshell” now and then is normal and often just Braxton Hicks or baby pressing out. But if it’s painful, regular, or feels off, it’s always okay to call your healthcare provider to be sure.

    then at 2.40am . my husband came out to chase me to sleep. Goodbye. i am sleepy..and sleeping and feeling slightly uncomfortable...belly hard like egg shell

    May 2025_ pregnant Week 25- 29

     Week 29  



    31st May 2025 ---last day of May. 

    At week 29 of pregnancy, I skipped my lunch today. 


    It was a bad idea, a very terribly bad idea. I was starving. 

    Keep looking for food in my kitchen. 


    I am gratefuly to have drink this. Chocolate cadbry drink given by my student. As I was sipping on the chocolate. My heart is so full! <3  

    As a teacher, i always try to behave like a teacher, demure, elegant. but sometimes, I just cant hide it anymore when i am hungry, hahahaha 

    I guess that's why my student gifted me food. Everything is about the food. and Iam so grateful and cant stop feeling amusing..thinking that i must have acting so straving in front of my students😄😄😄😄




    31st May 2025 ---last day of May. 

    It's a refreshing morning  with little crowded in this historical part of Kuala Lumpur. It reminds me how I once love to explore around the city. To be able to wandering around, lobserving everything around me. 

    Iwas on the way to my viewing appointment. I wish that i can spend more morning exploring the city of Kuala Lumpur. the old part of KL like petaling street, chow kit. etc. 

    Til then KL, i hope i will be able to explore you again. You are so nuanced with everything. 



    My aunty has just completed a spine surgery. She is recuprerating at our home. She couldn't bend her body due to the surgery. As a result, that's maggot. A lot of maggot in the kitchen. and this morning  I saw 2 cockroaches in the kitchen!


    I feel so pity for my aunty, we were all busy working until we only realise it now.  So my brother and me quickly  clean up. and planning to arrange for cleaner to clean up the kitchen so that she can have a clean, hygience kitchen that is free from any contamination. 




    A plate of heartful wantan noodle! I am not really a wantan noodle lover, but this is a must try! It was in Desa Petaling. opening during the night time only. Come early so that you can still have a choice of siew yuk (BBQ pork) and chicken. 

    My 二宝 and me made a donation to Fo Guang Vegetarian shop. Iam so proud of you, my er bao. You have done so much even before you arrive at the world!  



    The beginning of May is the month of potty training for my eldest daughter.  She has shown progress in that although not very consistent 





    As usual, my husband is still the 女儿奴 as usual. 





    Recently trying to potty training my daughter. We both got so happy when she manage to pee in the mini WC! 



    Happy mother's day to me! 11st May 2025 









    Week 26 Pregnant. Craving for homemade porridge by myself. 
    I treasure simple and hot porridge like this.

    A group photo with the 2 main speakers of the day. 黄先炳博士who is very wise and 刘进儿老师who is very hands on with variety of activities 


    Also, would not want to forget the organiser. 董伦坤居士from Setapak Buddhist Association.  A highly professional CEO? (not sure) yet a  humble figure who just 默默的付出, 确保每个细节都办好。He didnt even introduce himself to the rest of us (participant) It's a weekend Saturday and he can choose to spend time with family and what not.

    =====================================

    ❤️❤️ Pregnancy Metta Camp 





    ❤️❤️ 心灯计划 : 带动消化《四圣谛》



    其实真的很开心可以分享法义上的东西。 

    之前的活动不是办活动, 协调活动, 就是参与经验分享的环节。 

    因为可以分享法, 我觉得自己才是真正的弘法人员。 


    之前一直不敢、也不会接dharma sharing类的活动, 我一直认为自己的法义不深, 比起很多Peer之前的佛学会辅导员, 马大辅导员,他们真的很厉害, 很Metta, 事前准备的功课也很足。 比起他们, I am just a tiny little ant. 我真的没有很会带。 


    但是我很希望自己能带领法义上的东西, 除了鞭策自己更精进之外, 还有就是可以做到 2500多年前, 佛陀做的事情。 


    我也感谢自己愿意给自己这个机会, 虽然功夫很浅, 

    但是因为有了当佛学班老师的经验, 教佛学课程, 

    所以我才有底气推自己一把。 


    In order to boost my confidence in delivering the dharma sharing,  I needed to do some study beforehand. THanks for 政刚老师willing to spare his time to guide me on how to deliver 四圣谛。
