Sakit kepala?

Why mummy have headaches most of the time? Its common. The cause of headaches? Uncertain. During the first trimester, headaches may be caused by changes in mummy's hormone levels and an increase in blood volume and circulation. During the third trimester, headaches tend to be related more to posture and tension from carrying me.

What mummy can do about it..

1. Avoid different kinds of food that can trigger headaches such as chocolates (sowie mummy!), aged cheese, peanuts and preserved meats.



2. Eat well-balanced meals. Eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day can help keep mummy's blood sugar from getting too low.

3. Avoid caffeine (found in coffee, tea and cola).


4. Reduce stress. Rest in a dark, quiet room can soothe headaches. Find ways to use pillows for proper support. Get enough sleep!! Relaxation exercises, which may consist of deep breathing or simply closing your eyes and imagining a peaceful scene, may also help.

5. To soothe a headache in the sinus area, apply warm compresses to the front and sides of face and around nose, eyes and temples. To relieve a tension headache, apply a cold compress to the back of the neck.

6. Maintain good posture, especially now.

7. Get a massage. Massaging temples, shoulders and neck can help reduce the pain of headaches. *Warning! Do not massage me! Avoid belly area* Even if the bidan kampung say its okay, the doctors forbid it. So there must be a reason behind this.

8. Take Panadols. While it is best to avoid medication in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, there is no evidence that taking paracetamol in the recommended dose causes any harmful effects.

9. Pakai minyak panas. AWAS! Jgn kana mata. Hehe.

10. Exercise. Unless there are medical reasons to avoid it, mummy can and should exercise moderately for at least 30 minutes on most, if not all, days. Exercise can help mummy feel better. PLUS the calories burned help prevent too much weight gain. It can help build the stamina needed for labor and delivering me!

Consider walking, swimming and yoga, BUT DO NOT OVERDO IT! Avoid sports that could hit me. Never scuba dive because it can cause dangerous gas bubbles in my circulatory system.

What mummy should eat..

1. Calcium rich food:

My teeth began to develop as early as the sixth week of pregnancy and calcium is also needed for my bone development. Milk, cheddar cheese and yoghurt are the best sources of calcium. Some examples of calcium rich foods are milk on cereal, a glass of milk, a cheese sandwich, all types of yoghurt, a smoothie, a milkshake, pizza and lasagne.

2. Iron rich foods:

Iron is needed for the growth of my brain. The best dietary source is lean red meat and mummy should aim to eat it 3-4 times a week. Fortified breakfast cereals, beans, eggs, apricots, prunes, figs, spinach and broccoli also contain iron but mummy also need a good supply of vitamin C to make use of the iron.

3. Vitamin C Rich Foods:

Vitamin C rich foods include oranges, tangerines, clementines, satsumas, grapefruits, lemons, limes, kiwi, blackcurrants, green peppers, strawberries, tomatoes and mangoes . Any drink made from these fruits is also high is vitamin C. Potatoes are also a reasonably good source.

4. Oily Fish:

Mackerel, herring, salmon, sardines and kippers contain an oil which is essential for the development of my brain and eyes. Aim to eat oily fish 2-3 times a week.

Dear Mummy,

I knoe you have leg cramps and backaches. It's because sometimes i move and shift my weight and sometime i stay in the same position for well.. a long tyme. I knoe now my position is making you uncomfortable, i want you to rest mummy..

You might also want to try this exercise before you rest. Its called A Cat Stretch. To help you relieve pressure on your spine.

1. Get down on your hands and knees
2. Keep your head straight and your neck in a straight line with your spine
3. Arch your back like a cat
4. Allow your head to drop all the way down. Hold Stretch for 20 to 45 seconds.
5. Slowly release your back and your head to original position.
6. Repeat several times.

Im very anxious to meet you..mummy. Get plentwy of rest, okey?

Love, Your Baby


PS. Ive enclosed a sketch for you.

Working out..

Mummy wants to know why im doing somersaults in here.. hehe.. Well mummy, Im actually rehearsing while there is still space for me to move around. These movements will eventually help me eat, drink, and breathe. Im getting in shape to face that big, beautiful world out there :)

What's going on in here?

Mummy was telling me about her visit to the hospital last Monday for her third ultrasound, which means she and daddy get to look at me on the monitor again and see how im doing in here. The last two visits was in a small clinic, using just the basic ultrasound machine.

This time she said the experience was different. A new breed of ultrasonagraphy has emerged which can bring 3D and 4D images of me to life. She can make out my head with a mouth, two eyes and even the bridge of my nose. She can see pairs of arms and legs that end in tiny hands and feet. She can see the curve of my backbone. And best of all, she can see a movement..

My movement... My feet were kicking!
