scan from my previous, previous visit to gynae
isn't God wonderful? it's so amazing to see baby growing at every visit and the significant changes that can be seen.
i went through a little episode last week due to my palpitating heart. went to see a GP half way through working coz my heart was palpitating since the night before. GP said it's pretty bad so sent me back to my gynae. went to see my gynae and he refered me to a cardio. went to see the cardio and was strapped with a heart monitor for a day. cardio said that structurally my heart is good but my heart is really beating very irregularly. he said that it's normal for pregnant women to experience heart palpitations but mine was pretty bad. he refrained from giving me medication, sent me for a blood test and then asked me to go back for a review if this continues after delivery.
golly. quite an episode you would say, but i'm seriously having it easier than most people. those whom i know who're above their 30s and having their first child are suffering from more inconveniences and nuisances.... things like morning sickness, urine infection, gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia... oh the list goes on.
now i can understand how noble mothers are. not saying that i am but i'm glad i'm going through the experience. and.. another piece of advice, please don't put off having children. i've heard many who had miscarriages and the older you get, the more nuisances pregnancy would give you, mainly due to those excess hormones circulating around your body.
anyway, i'm 22 weeks as of now. 4 more weeks before i enter my 3rd trimester. which also means baby is coming soon!
please keep us in prayer. i've many concerns on my heart. wanna know more? ask me. =P thanks to all those who've been praying for mummy and child (and hopefully for daddy too). and thank God for all the things that have fallen in place so far. i feel so blessed and i do sense God has great plans for baby ethan. let's watch them unfold.
