Scary Stretch Mark!!! 可怕的妊娠纹!!

Few months ago, my friend Aiping remind me about the stretch mark lotion. She say have to apply as early as I can, so can prevent it!! So, I start to search information about it!! Then suddenly I discover......OMG!! Stretch mark can be so worse........Sorry to the mother in this picture...I use it without permission!! Hope she won't found this picture in my blog.

After see this, I start to worry again!!! I tell myself, I have to find out the solution, and how to prevent it!!! Then, I read some post in the mama forum, quite a number of mother say they are sensitive to one of the famous brand "Palmers-cocoa-butter". Luckily I read this before I go to buy, cause my skin is quite sensitive too!!! So, I bought another brand of lotion "Pureen brand" For me this is quite okie, at least I no sensitive with it!! I use twice a day after take bath!!! But unfortunally, I still have some stretch mark on the side of my tummy. Hope it won't become worse!!!! Sometime, I told myself, if don't have stretch mark, how can I prove that I'm pregnant??!! hahahahahah!! Just to make myself feel better!! hehehehe!!

Here are some useful information. Hope can help others mother too!!!

My pregnancy's food!!

Hehe!! I have edema in early pregnancy!! So, how??? Nothing can I do, doctor just advice no exceed salt intake lo!!! So, my family and I really have a very healthy lifestyle this fews months!!! hahahah! I wrote down this, because if in the future, for my second baby pranancy, I will have a good image how to take care myself!!

Breakfast time, I normally will drink this milo + oat + lecithin + Whole grain bread!! Haizz...as a Malaysian, normally we eat Huan Tan mian, koeo tiao soup or nasi lemak as our breakfast!! But, since I start edema in early pregnancy (around 3 months). So, I really need to take care my food intake. So, end up this is my only choice!!!



This is my lunch and dinner, so everyday I will eat fish, either steam or fried or curry fish!! haha!! Depend on my cook's mood. And for sure will have vegetables too!! All this dishes is without salt, and MSG!! And I just eat a small bowl of brown rice!!

After lunch, afternoon time or evening time, I will eat fruit. I love orange, but today mom didn't buy any oranges!! She say Kiwi also same thing!! haha!! What ever...as long as fruit!! I eat more fruits cause I read somewhere in the forum say, pregnant lady easy to get constipation...haha..so have to prevent it before it happened!!

This can consider as my supper, cause every time after dinner. Around 10:30pm I start to feel hungry!! Gosh!! So, my mom cook me this!! She say "Longan" will help to increase my red blood cell and the egg will helps to make baby skin fair....But as long as I won't feel hungry, I don't care what function is that!! hahahah!!

I hate edema 讨厌的水肿

Remember that we just came back to from Oman. Mr.Quah and I desperately try all the Penang's stall food. And those foods, of course, is quite high-salt, high MSG. So, as a results, in a short span of one week. . I found that my weight has increased, more than my feet so swollen like a pig's feet. At that time, we thought that, maybe we go shopping every day, and I walk too much so my feet become like this. My mom agree with that too!! But, I'm not satisfied with this, I seach in internet about Pragnant women with Edema and the treatment. I found that, most of the information is ask me cut down salt intake, and put my feet up during sleeping time. And some more ask me to take fish's soup and red bean's soup. So, I follow all this instruction. But I found that, all this methods are not effective on me. It just help me to reduce edema, I still feel swollen on my feet on the following day!! So, one day he listen to his mother, steep my feet on the hot water, we did so...still not effective!! So, fews day later, we give up!! hahahah

At that time, Mr.Quah need to go back Oman working. So, I go to my mother house. I discuss with my mom about this edema. We decided totally no to use salt and MSG in the cooking. We use soy sauce instead of salt and MSG. In this way for a few days, I found my edema problem solve. But, i still doubt with it. Is it really is the salt and MSG make me edema? So, I try to eat stall food "koey teow soup", or food with soup. I can immediately feel swollen on my feet. From this i know, during this pragnancy period. . I have to say bye to Yummy to all the yummy food!! haha!!


记得我们刚从Oman回来大马,我和Mr.Quah就拼命在外头吃了很多Penang美食,那些食物中,当然是又高盐,又高味精。结果在短短的一个星期内。。我发现我的体重又增加了,还不止这样我的脚板肿到像猪脚。那时,我们还以为是我们天天去逛街,脚走太多了才这样。妈妈也认为如此。我呢?就不甘心,也很怕死。。。就上网找孕妇水肿的资料,与治疗。我发现找到的资料当中,不是叫我少盐,就是叫我睡时抬高脚。还有吃鲤鱼汤,喝红豆水等!我就一一照做。可是我发现睡时抬高脚,还有喝红豆水,还是不能帮我解决水肿的问题。这些方法只能帮我减轻水肿,隔天起来,我的脚还是像猪脚那样!!Mr.Quah听他妈妈说脚泡热水会有效。我们也试试看,泡了几天也还是一样。。结果我们都放弃了!!哈哈!

那时,刚好Mr.Quah要回去工作岗位了!我就住回妈妈家。我就和妈妈讨论关于我水肿的问题。我们就同意完全不用盐和味精来烹调,只用酱青来代替一切调味。就这样吃了几天,我的水肿问题完全没有了!!接着下来,我就还是很怀疑,是否真的是盐和味精弄到我的脚变猪脚呢?我发现每当我吃外面的果条汤,或是某些汤类的食物,晚上回来,我的脚又肿了!由此可见,我真的在这段怀孕的时间里。。只好向美食说再见啦!

Feel grateful to my dearest mom!! 感恩 我亲爱的妈妈!!

I wrote this, is not trying to show off my well-being, or what! ! But, I really really feel luckily compare than others. So, now I am particularly feel grateful to my mother! !

Why, I say so! ! Because, my mom take care of me in the whole pregnancy process. She take cares of my dietary and tell me how to take care of myself in this pregnancy, for instance, what to eat to make my baby's skin more fair, and what to eat to make baby's more intelligent! ! In fact, if Mr.Quah didn't work abroad, may be I don't have the opportunity to stay with my own mom. I am sure I'll eat all the junk food outside, drink all the MSG's soup. And confirm without fresh fruits!!

Ha ha! ! If I stay with my mother-in-law, for sure the feeling is different from staying with my own mom! Of course, own mother will be more warmer, more intimate! What my mother prepared, I'll finish it, never complain and special request for any food!! This could be my baby, she allow me to eat anything!! Never let me vomit and feel suffer for food intake!!

So, wasn't I'm more lucky than other women do? ? Therefore, I am grateful I now have everything around me now, I am grateful to my mother, I am grateful to my baby. . . Of course, I must be grateful to my husband's family too!! Because they allow me to stay with my mother! ! If their are really sarcastic. . I guess I couldn't be as happy as now!!!


我所写的以下,并不是想炫耀自己很幸福,或是什么!!但是,我是真的感觉到自己真的比别人幸福,比别人幸运,所以我特别感恩我的妈妈!!

为什么,我这么说呢!!因为我整个孕程都是我妈妈在照顾我,在帮我编排我的饮食,告诉我怀孕应该怎样照顾,安排怎样吃才能使宝宝皮肤更白,更聪明!!其实,假如Mr.Quah没有到国外去工作,可能我没有机会住在妈妈家养胎。我敢肯定我自己一定在外头吃味精菜,喝味精汤。更不用说是吃水果!!

哈哈!!假如我回婆家养胎,多多少少会和自己的妈妈准备的食物等不同!!当然是自己妈妈家更温暖,更贴心!妈妈准备什么,我都吃什么,没有计较些什么特别的食物。这可能是我的宝宝很乖,什么都能吃,没让我害喜得很厉害!

说起来,我是不是比别的孕妇更有福气呢??所以,我很感恩我现在所拥有的一切,我感恩我的妈妈,我感恩我的宝宝。。。当然我必须感恩我的婆家的每一个长辈。。。因为他们允许我在我妈妈家养胎!!假使,他们的冷言冷语。。我不可能会像今天那么幸福!!

We have been together for 6th years!!

Some say that pregnant women are forgetful! ! If I didn't experience such feelings I think I will not understand! ! Today is the 6th year Mr.Quah and I get together! ! But I had totally forgotten it. . . Ha ha! ! Fortunately, he didn't blame me! ! Although this is a special day for us, but Mr.Quah and I were separated far away! ! em..sound sad!! haha!! But doesn't matter la! we already reach the stable stage in our relationship, is quite different from those who just in love! Ha ha! ! So, there will be no special celebration. Em...in other word to comfort myself, without this celebration, we can save money to buy more baby stuff!! wahahahaha!!
So, in this special day, I did not expect any present any celebration. . . Just hope that we both love will never end, take care each other forever and ever!! Love you! !


别人说孕妇很善忘!!没有亲身体验都不能了解这感受!!今天是我和Mr.Quah在一起的第六年!!我竟然把它忘得一干二净。。。哈哈!!幸好他没怪我!!虽然今天是个特别的日子,但是我和他却是身在异乡,都不在同一个国度!!没关系啦!又不是。。。热恋中的男女!哈哈!!所以就没有特别的庆祝。顺便安慰自己说,这样可以省下庆祝的钱,买更多宝宝的东西!!哈哈!!
再这特别的日子,我没有奢望些什么。。。只是希望我们俩的爱情能永远保温,不弃不离!!爱你!!

The feeling of my 5 months pregnancy

Time really flies, my pregnancy already reached 20 weeks, half way of the whole pregnancy!! Recall back in 2009,March. That time I still wondering am I pregnant?? And soon at April, I suddenly found that baby already stay 5 weeks in my tummy!!hahahah!! Still remember that time, I was so excitement and agitation when I saw 2 deep line on the pregnancy kit. I guess...I will not forget this feeling!!

I have always been looking forward to the fetal movement. In the past, if I saw pregnant women, I will touch her stomach and then asked her "your baby moving??" haha!! Then, I will ask her a lots about the fetal movement!! Last time, my ex-Malay's colleague pregnant, and she just sat opposite me. Every time, her baby kick her, I will quickly go to her side, and put my hand on her stomach,I hope I can feel the baby movement!! However, I didn't have chance to feel it, cause when my hand just put on the stomoch, my collegue say baby stop moving...so so disappointed!! But I never give up, finally one day, I feel it!!!!The baby kicked hardly on his mommy!! Even I can feel it!!! hahaha!! I was really really surprice...hahahha!! This was my fist time!!

Now, I am pregnant, in my end of 4 months pregnancy, I was watching TV programs "Heart of Greed". . I was so excited. Then suddenly my baby kick me. . . "ei! what kind of feeling is this? Is my stomach's nerves jumping cause I too excited?" I ask myself. . . Then baby kicked me again soon! ! Ha ha! ! This time, I am sure it is baby! ! Ha ha! ! Start from that day, I can feel more fetal movement! ! When I go up or go down stairscase every time, I will feel that baby rolling inside! ! Ha ha! ! Or, when I walk faster, I will feel it as well. .Seem like baby is protest against my action! ! Ha ha! !

But, when I'm practice piano, whether I played much more loudly, baby will not kick me, baby will not protest. . I guess baby is enjoying the music! Ha ha! ! Recently I had found that when I was in goggle talk with Mr.Quah, baby also quietly listened to the dialogue we are talking about, cause I'm no using the ear phone! ! Ha ha! ! However, when I end the discuss with Mr.Quah, and get ready to sleep...baby began active, busy kicking inside! ! Ha ha! ! Several times, I'm lying down and playing with baby kich and touch...end up I slept very late!! Ha ha! ! Kick and touch is the game I played with baby, when baby kick, then I will touch or press back that part ! Ha ha! This kind of feeling, I share with Mr.Quah the next day, poor him can only be imagined the feeling! !

不知不觉的我的孕程都走到了一半,现在刚满20个星期!!时间过得真快,现在回想2009年的3月份,当时还在怀疑宝宝是否藏在我的肚子里面,就在4月份我就突然发现宝宝偷偷的在里面住了5个星期!!哈哈!!我还记得,看到深深两条线时的激动,看到深深两条线时的不可思议!!我想我永远都忘不了这种感觉!

我一向都很期待胎动,以前每每看到孕妇,都会急着摸她的肚子然后问她宝宝有动吗??哈哈!!然后就访问她关于胎动的感觉!!还记得,有一次,在我以前工作的马来同事怀孕了,刚好她就坐在我对面,每一次,工作到一半,她的男宝宝踢她,我就很快的飞到她的身边!!将手摸着她的肚子,希望我也能感受宝宝在里面的激动!!但是,好几次,我都摸不到,我的手一摸,我的同事就说宝宝不动了!!好失望!!但是,我没有因为那几次的失败而放弃,最后,在某一天,我终于感觉到了!!宝宝狠狠的踢了妈妈一下!!连我都感觉到了!!哈哈!!那时,我真的是又惊又喜!!!哈哈!!

现在,我自己怀孕了,在我怀孕4个月尾,我正在看电视节目溏心风暴。。我正在激动时,突然我宝宝踢了我一下。。。"ei!那是什么感觉,难到我肚子的神经线。。也很我一样激动"我自己问自己。。。很快的宝宝又来踢多一下!!哈哈!!这次,我比较肯定是宝宝!接下来的日子,我对宝宝胎动也比较真实感了!!每次我上下楼梯后,我就会感觉到,宝宝在里面滚动!!或者,我走的比较快的时候,我也会感觉到。。宝宝在里面抗议!!

但是,就在我练琴的时候,无论我弹得多大声,宝宝不会踢我,宝宝不会抗议。。可能宝宝正在耐心的听歌!我最近发现,当我在和Mr.Quah聊网络电话时,宝宝也很乖,静静的听着我们的对话!!可是,当我盖了电话,准备睡时,宝宝就开始活跃了!!哈哈!!好几次,我在床上和宝宝玩踢摸。。。弄到自己很夜才睡!!踢摸就是,宝宝一踢的地方,我就去摸摸, 就去按按!!这种感觉,我和Mr.Quah分享,可怜的他就只能凭空想象!!哈哈!!他无法感觉得到!!
