3D/4D/5D HD baby scan

As an excited mum (obviously), I was so excited to have 3D scan sebab nak tengok muka baby. So masa 28 weeks, I booked my session at Klinik Dr Nurul, located at Cheras. The facebook page, here.

First time datang, klinik selesa plus wangi! And tak ramai orang sebab kena book dulu before datang.

While waiting for my turn.

3D scan: Gambar baby in 3D
4D scan: Video
5D/HD scan: Gambar & video baby in HD (omg!)

Price: RM89 including CD. Printing tak provided, kalau nak, pandai pandai print sendiri ok. Tapi ni harga promotion. Normal price RM199. Kena selalu check Facebook diorang and terus book bila ada offer.

Unfortunately masa ni, the baby tidur meniarap and taknak bangun. Even the sonographer dah puas kejut, gegarkan perut kemain, dia still tidur taknak bangun. Just like her dad. Fine baby fine. So, sebab tak dapat nak tengok baby, it's free of charge.




The next time datang (gigih taknak giveup tau tengok baby), during the 31st week. Nurse pesan suruh makan ice cream dulu so that baby tak tidur.

This time sonographer lain pulak. Baik je. Bilik scan pun best. Ada TV besar untuk tengok scan baby tu and sofa for the dad untuk duduk lepak macam lepak tengok TV pulak.

But this time, baby dah besar, muka dia dekat sangat dengan uri. Position dah cantik dah menghadap ke atas. Kemain cium cium uri taknak lepas. Susah nak nampak muka, and tangan dia pun tutup muka.

This is the best 3D image. Hi baby <3

Nampak hidung dengan mulut je. Since kali ni pun fail jugak, tak nampak full muka baby, so free of charge jugak.

It's okay baby, asalkan sihat. We'll see lepasni nak repeat lagi scan ke tak (still gigih!)

P/s: 2D detailed scan pun ada, more to tengok organ dalaman baby such as jantung, paru paru, usus, tulang, kaki, tangan, jari cukup ke tak, almost everything. Tapi boleh buat masa baby around 18-24 weeks. Masa tahu wujudnya detailed scan ni, baby dah besar so tak sempat nak buat. Noob betul baru tahu....

How I hang my tapestry

1. Buy this velcro tape from Daiso. One for RM5.30. I bought two.


2. Cut them to the size you want.


3. The velcro. 


4. Peel them off and tampal them together (the velcro part, not the sticky one)


5. Tampal the sticky side on your tapestry and the wall.


6. Done!


Added the fairylights. 

I got my tapestry from ig @tapestryad.co , do check them out!








18 weeks maternity checkup!

17 weeks (14 September 2016)

Masa ni baru habis raya Aidil Adha, and then maybe sebab banyak sangat travelling ke apa, terus demam and tak sedap badan, muntah apa semua padahal sepatutnya sebelum tu dah okay, takde muntah apa. Then saja lah pergi checkup and scan sebab nak tahu baby okay ke tak, risau pulak tak okay.

Nampaknya baby sihat je. Siap tak malu tunjuk gender yang obviously girl. Tak sangka 17 weeks dah boleh tahu girl ke boy. Terus happy!




Time ni doctor bagi ubat batuk and selesema yang pregnant-friendly. And obimin for prenatal vitamin. Time ni checkup dekat klinik biasa dekat dengan rumah je.

Total cost scan & ubat: RM120.


18 weeks (21 September 2016)

The actual appointment dengan gynae at Ampang Puteri yang dah book almost two months before. The best part of Ampang Puteri, you can book your appointment online je!


Just fill in the form and they'll email you.

The reasons why we choose Ampang Puteri is because dua orang adik memang lahir dekat situ, and memang dari kecik familiar dengan hospital tu, and dekat dengan rumah parents. Takde option lain dah rasanya haha

The appointment is for morning session 9.30-12.30. Dia first come first serve so on that day, kitorang sampai around 10am, dapat nombor 6. So sementara tunggu tu, pergi makan kejap, tunggu kejap, around 11.30am baru boleh jumpa doctor.


Alhamdulillah, the baby is all healthy and active. Everything is fine. Doctor pun confirmkan yang it's a girl! And dengar her heartbeat <3

Next, kena buat test darah. It's a normal procedure. Kalau ada apa apa masalah, baru diorang call. 

Then baru ambil ubat yang dah prescribed by the doctor.

Caltrate is for calcium supplement sebab malas minum susu, NeuroGain to develop the baby's brain etc.


Consultation fee: RM250
Scan: RM120++
Blood test: RM150
Medicines: RM100++

Total: Around RM600++


Lepas confirm gender, barulah semangat shopping barang baby! :P

My first trimester essentials



1. Minyak cap kapak - This is my life saver. Everyday memang sapu dekat kepala and dahi because I can't stand the smell of everything. The smell of the office, the toilet (padahal perfume toilet), and all the foods.

2. Vicks - helps with my nausea. I normally rub it under my nose to prevent other weird smells. Bau vicks sepanjang hari pun takpe.

3. Plastic bag and tissues- to vomit every time after I had my meal, I'm used to the routine and just prepare plastic to puke after each meal. And always ada plastik dalam kereta. Lots of them.

4. Asam - to prevent the nausea. Always ada dalam bag. Segala jenis asam beli.

5. Baby Bump Apps. I totally love this apps because I can know how many weeks I am, the size of the baby and daily tips!



6. Body lotion - At first I bought Palmer's but I hated the smell! So I tried to avoid that by using my aloe vera gel (review here) which soothes my tummy and hopefully, can prevent stretch marks.

7. Water. For hydration since muntah banyak and tak larat makan.

8. Journals and baby books - Bought at BookXcess, Fahrenheit 88. The price is so cheaaaaap! I bought these during my 7 weeks.


9. Folic Acid - I started taking folic acids since 6 weeks, although takde lah makan setiap hari. I normally take my vitamins before I sleep to prevent nausea. Lepas makan terus tidur.

10. Lipbalm - Burt's Bees Lip Balm. My fav.



The products that I used worked for me but it may not work for you since every pregnancy is different, but hope it helps! Thanks for reading!

[Review] Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel



Product name: Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel


Packaging:
Transparent green plastic tub. Big and bulky, not travel friendly, not hygienic sebab setiap kali nak guna kena celup berkali kali dalam tu. Better pakai spatula.




Texture & Scent: 
Sticky kalau apply banyak but it absorbs fast. Love the scent. Refreshing and natural! Rasa nak rendam muka dalam tu bila penat.

How to use:
Can use as a moisturizer, mask, makeup base and after shaving cream.

My thoughts:
My face feels tight and irritates when I used it as moisturizer/mask. I think its probably due to the alcohol & parfum. Hence kalau dekat muka, I used as undereye gel to reduce puffiness. Or maybe because my skin is a bit sensitive/dry.

However I love using it as body moisturizer! It reduces the dryness of my skin. And some plus point, since I'm pregnant, it is super great to reduce the itchiness of my tummy. Asal gatal je, sapu this gel to soothe my tummy and hopefully, can reduce stretchmarks (Berharap)

Memang wajib ada tepi katil, setiap malam pakai sebelum tidur.

Price & Where to buy
RM32.90 from Nature Republic's outlet. (I bought mine at Sunway Pyramid) Sometimes they got offer, 4 for RM100.

Can also get it from hermo.my and althea.kr for cheaper price!

Tips
Baik baik dengan fake products, especially from unauthorized online sellers.

Repurchase:
OF COURSE! Very recommended!

That's all. Thank you for reading!
