If you have tried many many ways just like me to get pregnant and hope to give it the last shot before considering IVF.
Really... try this, if it's around your ovulation period (if u don't know when u ovulate, use a ovulation kit, I am a fan for clearblue kit. Buy the stick kit instead of the monitor if you are on budget from Watsons or Guardian) with your hubby, have a little wine and relax away at home or a nice hotel. Erase the thoughts of trying to conceive if possible, forget all the baby making position. Then get hot in action like when you both first get together...
RELAX and ENJOY the process because if you want to have a love child, you need to do it like what we called it " MAKING LOVE" and not follow all the instructions you read, results vary, remember?!?!
Anyway enough of birds and bees....
Initially, I refused going through what i been through for Cloie. Well... thinking I am plagued with infertility, I tried the fertility medicine (clomid) and correct my poor ovary which was slightly "dislocated" from it's original position due to my C-section blood clots. No, all those doesn't make me pregnant at all and I really gave up the idea of having No.2.
Not until, we visited a fortune teller and she told me that I will have a baby boy soon...Puzzled but delighted on the prediction, we chose not to indulge on this lovely calling. My cousin, also Cheryl got the same prediction.
Fast forward, just months after we visited the fortune teller...My cousin got pregnant and when she announced it, I don't know why I have this little voice in the back of my mind telling me I will be next...
and taaa...dahhh I got a positive in just 3 weeks later. I am not sure if it's divine intervention but well I do know when hubby and I decided to give up getting pregnant, we have one of the most magical moment together.
Snap shot of Fetus Josh
Pregnant with Josh is considered easy, I am able to work full time, managed my diaper bags distribution business and online store - Babetitude.com. My friends even commented that I walked too fast with a big tummy. I only have a few hiccups later part of my pregnancy especially Hemorrhoids aka piles that pain me the most. (never have that with Cloie)
@ 36th week - Piles got really bad, and I need to be on bed rest cos I can't sit up anymore to work..
Pain was so unbearable that even medicine given by my gynae were not helping. Went to Eu Yan Sang to see chinese doctor instead, and the medicine help.
Start feeling weird pull and pain around tummy but able to sleep for the night...
@ 37th week - went back to office, hopefully to get some work cleared before maternity leave. Got a large yellowish clot when I went toilet, and thought I got infection. Called gynae but she is out of town, her nurse asked me to come down for CTG to make sure I am not going through any contraction.
Reached clinic, done CTG, everything normal...but nurse told me to go to their cover gynae to get check because they are unable to determine if my clot was infection.
Dr Mary Yang briefly chatted with me then proceed to check me with her fingers....Man!! It's painful, and that's cervix check...She then calmly told me I am in labour, cervix dilated 3cm already...
IN LABOUR...wooohooo new word for me, since Cloie's birth was all predicted. Called hubby, got wheeled to labour ward...excited because I been wanting to do the norm and feel the contraction pain, the push etc...
Feel totally nothing at all. After clearing my tummy I am still laying down wondering what will the process be like... I told my gynae, that I love to try VBAC and that I am going to give it a try since Josh not breeched and is in the correct position for normal delivery. VBAC is 50/50 chance and if it's failed , it will be emergency c-sect. Dr Yang came after 2 hours or so and told me she is going to burst my waterbag...and "plish" like I pee with inflammation...very warm liquid and quite abit. Woooo got really excited, while waiting for contraction....hubby came and contraction came....and WRONG!! WTF am I thinking before that about contraction...it's so painful and I wanted to endure it without epidural. But knowing my chances, I asked for epidural after 3 hours of pain. Taking epidural in the midst of contraction, not easy... I was paralysed only on my right side and I can feel the pain still on the left. I only told the nurse that after 2 hours and she asked me why after so long in pain then I tell her...so i told her I thought it's normal and she get the anaesthetist on the phone and he told me that epidural have blind spot too...and if I need to re-position it...then I asked if I need to pay another $500 or so for it...He said no, then actually I forgot if he came baack but anyway...
After 10 hours of one sided pain and uncontrollable shivers...Dr Yang came in and told me dilation too slow and it's taking too long...to be safe if cervix is still not open fully by 2 hours time, got to go emergency c-sect.
I cried and talked to Josh to turn to his correct position and stop moving too much and it kinda work... Contraction through the graphs show it's more frequent and the nurses started to move alot around me, like getting things prepared. I kept on talking to Josh, telling him that I love him and I wanted to see him soon etc etc...A small setback in between the next 2 hours, like Josh's heartbeat went off a few time and nurse need to give me oxygen for it...Dr Yang came and changed, hubby on the side, nurses all set. There goes the push push and another push, I hear the loud cry of my darling boy...Josh. Dr Yang said I pushed really well but unfortunately my inner wall somewhere got torn and she will mend it for me..
Josh - 37th week looks big @ only 3.19kg.
The next 2 years with Josh...alot of fun and sweat.
Totally different from sister, Cloie...
He is more willing to drink his milk and is very demanding when it comes to food.
Cries loudly and play hard...
Now almost 2 already, he is obedient, cheerful, cheeky but have a bad violent temper
He loves Barney, Cars and loves to sing and tumble.
