New Year at Bandung

As usually, we went to my parents in law house and also the place where my hubby was born : Bandung to spend the new year. Actually we had a plan before to spend it in Pekanbaru, where my parents stay but due to my pregnancy, we must skip that plan for now

(bye-bye Jakarta and my hubby's extraordinary expression)

On January 1st, my parents in law held a Sabbath worship where all the church mates came at our house. There we had a worship and almost all my family gathered there. At the end, we had an exchange gift, where I got a drink bottle and tooth brush. My husband got a purple lunch box!

( with my cute nephews : Timmothy and Sabastian during the gathering)

On the next day, we had a family morning worship where like usual, my parents in law gave an advice for each of us. He told us that He was really happy to see our happy marriage especially in waiting for the birth of Ucok, but He still adviced my husband to do sport everyday due to His big belly (yeah, as a Doctor, My Dad in law is really concern about health!)

Anyway, due to my belly, we did not go anywhere to spend the holiday, just stay at home and gathered together with so many food actually!!

Aloha!!

Waah ga kerasa udah lama ga ngepost!.. Malahan ini jadi postingan pertama ditahun 2011 ini..I do miss this page actually.. tapi karna emang kondisi badan en seperti biasa tahun baru apalagi tahun ini tuh banyak yang speciaal banget, bikin ga sempat untuk duduk manis didepan lappy kaya gini!

Anyway, let's review my "journey" during the year end.>> as usually, we went to Bandung to gather with The Manullang's big family, and the special one before was : preparing my baby's stuff!! yeah!!

Because he was 28 weeks in last December, so it was the time to buy his first needs. Our first destination was Pasar Pagi Mangga Dua due to its cheap price and there we could find so many things from the local to the imported and many brands

Hmm i think thats enough for this post. I will post another complete one for each stories above.

Anyway, Happy Belated New Year!! ( better late than never at all, rite?? )

Minggu 27 Kehamilan

Sekitar kehamilan minggu ke 27 ini bunda harus sedikit berhati-hati dengan semakin meningkatnya tekanan darah bunda. Apabila tekanan darah yang meningkat ini disebut dengan preeklamsia, hal ini harus diwaspadai karena dapat berakibat fatal terhadap bayi dan bunda.

Bunda harus berhati-hati apabila bunda mengalami pandangan mata yang kabur, berkeringat pada tangan dan wajah, meningkatnya berat badan secara tiba-tiba tanpa adanya peningkatan jumlah makanan, tiba-tiba bunda merasa pusing tanpa sebab. Sebaiknya hubungi dokter atau bidan untuk tindakan selanjutnya.

Sebaiknya semenjak awal kehamilan bunda tidak melewatkan pertemuan dengan dokter bunda, karena dari pertemuan dari dokter itulah tekanan darah bunda dapat terdeteksi.

Ada 2 kemungkinan yang mungkin dapat bunda lakukan apabila memang bunda memiliki tekanan darah tinggi, yang pertama adalah untuk beristirahat di rumah lebih banyak atau bunda akan beristirahat di rumah sakit dengan pengawasan yang ketat dari bayi bunda.

Otak si kecil sudah berkembang semakin baik dan sudah mulai dapat berpikir, mungkin bunda pun berpikir hal apakah yang dipikirkan bayi dalam kandungan? tetapi tetap disarankan untuk berbagi cerita, kebahagiaan, musik atau apapun dengannya. Bagaimanapun setiap bunda bercerita atau sah ayah bernyanyi, si kecil sudah mulai bisa mengenalinya karena minggu ke 27 ini jaringan ditelinganya mendekati sempurna.

Bayi mungil bunda mulai belajar bernafas walaupun dalam air, paru-parunya berlanjut berkembang untuk mempersiapkan bayi bernafas ketika sudah lahir.Kelopak matanya sudah mulai belajar membuka dan retina matanya telah terbentuk.

Berat umum bayi seusia si kecil 870-890 gram dengan tinggi badan 36-38 cm.

USG 3/4 D

Selasa kemaren, jadwal USG 3/4 Dimensi nya si Ucok. Dari satu hari sebelumnya, pihak Hermina udah nelpon, kasi tau kalo kita kebagian nomor antrian 2, jam setengah 11 pagi

Dokter yang meriksa namanya dr. Johan Widjaja, sonologist dari Hermina juga. Pas kita masuk, dokternya udah stand by ama data2 kehamilan gw selama ini. Dan Puji Tuhan dari hasil lab dan kontrol selama ini sih gak ditemukan masalah apa-apa dan itu yang mau kita lihat lebih jauh lagi dari hasil USG yang satu ini

Nah pertama kali langsung dilihatin muka si Ucok! ternyata doi lagi bubu nih. Satu tangannya ditekuk kebelakang dikepala sebelah kiri. Lucuuu banget!! kalo dari hasil fotonya sih, sepertinya mukanya bulet, bibir atas lancip dan jidat agak lebar sepertiiiiiiii Mommynya!!!! tapi kata Dokternya sih rata2 wajah bayi ya begini semua, jadi jangan tanya mirip syapa atau semacamnya, karna nanti kan bakalan berubah deh

O ya untuk body nya si Ucok ini, Dokter Johan langsung kasi komentar yang sama seperti Dokter kandungan kita, Binsar Sitompul pernah bilang waktu si Ucok umurnya 3 bulan : Badannya besar alias tulangnya panjang, terutama tulang kakinya

Terus pertumbuhannya juga Puji Tuhan bisa dibilang agak cepet, sampe Dokternya juga rada kaget waktu lihat si Ucok punya " testis" yang udah turun diusia 23 minggu 6 hari, walopun masih kecil, tapi biasanya "itu" turunnya nanti dibulan ke 24. Yaaa ga papalah ya Dok, rada curi start dikit yaa..hehe

Abis itu semua organ tubuhnya pun dilihat satu2, dari kepala, jantung yang terlihat jelas, mata,mulut, hidung, telinga, paru paru, testis sampe jari tangan dan kakinya. Sekali lagi Puji Tuhan sih semua sehat-sehat aja, nothing to be worried deh pokonya..sempat gemess banget liat jari2 tangan dan kakinya kaya telur cicak berderet lima biji!

O ya karna posisinya lagi tidur, tangan yang satunya ada yang ketutupan ama badannya, berhubung kita mau lihat panjang dan jari2 tangannya, Dokternya nyaranin gw untuk jalan2 dulu keluar sampe 10 menitan, kalo perlu pipis dulu supaya dia bisa muter dan kita bisa lihat. Jadi deh gw keluar dulu, jalan2 ama suami en pipis dulu sampe terasa ada gerakan walopun engga kenceng2 banget

Jadi deh kita masuk lagi dan diperiksa, pas ternyata dia udah gerak dikit, tangannya yang tadi tersembunyi pun udah bisa kelihatan. Puji Tuhan tulang, panjang dan jari2 tangan yang tadi gak kelihatan semuanya sehat

Nah berhubung posisinya lagi tiduran dan kakinya ditekuk, "Monas"nya pun ketutupan. Tapi dari testis yang udah keluar, Dokternya pun mastiin kalo doi ini emang si Ucok alias laki laki. senengnyaaa!!

O ya dengan berat sebesar 664 gram diakhir bulan ke lima ini, bisa dibilang Ucok ini punya tekstur badan yang besar, dimana normalnya kan sebesar 500-510 gram diusia segitu atau 610 gram di usia 24 minggu nanti ( weks.,gede jugaa yaa?? ). Tapi kata Dokternya sih ga papa, Doi juga ga masuk kriteria Kegendutan alias normal karna panjangnya juga diatas rata-rata. Jadi deh gak ada Pe- er untuk gendutin si Ucok. O ya kira2 nanti pun pas lahiran si ucok diprediksikan akan lahir dengan berat sekitar 3,5 kg

Nah Sekarang yang jadi masalah adalah berat badan gw!! gila aja selama bulan November BB nya naik 3 kg!!!!!!!!!!! 2 Kg ngelebihin target bo!!! Dokternya pun dengan terang2ngan menyatakan gw untuk ngerem nafsu makan gw supaya engga bengkak banget dan bisa ngelahirin dengan proses normal. Lagipula si Ucok Udah Gede, ga butuh "doping" lagi supaya bisa lahiran dengan BB Normal.

Untuk Review Dokternya, Dokter Johan orangnya ramah banget, sabar dan mau kasi advice banyak deh walopun doi bukan Dokter kandungan gw. trs orangnya juga suka ngelucu jadi gak bikin bosen. Seneng deh dia mau luangin waktu untuk layanin gw konsultasi soal nurunin BB walopun bukan tugasnya dia

Anyway kalo mau copy semua hasil USG bayi kita di CD, kita dikenakan biaya lima ribu Rupiah. Sedangkan kalo engga juga udah dapet 3 foto hasil USG : Presentasi pembuluh darah, kepala dan tentu aja yang bikin seneng : wajah si Bebi!!

By The Way, ini dia action si baby dari dalem perut Mommy-nya:

Kehamilan Minggu 24

Pada umumnya pada minggu ke 24 kehamilan disarankan untuk melakukan tes gula darah, untuk mengetahui apakah bunda menderita diabetes pada kehamilan (Gestational Diabetes).

Diabetes pada kehamilan dapat menyebabkan bayi bunda lahir dengan berat badan yang tinggi yang membuat bunda harus melahirkan secara Caesar.

Apabila bunda mengalami diabetes pada kehamilan maka sebaiknya bunda langsung diawasi oleh dokter bunda. Ada kemungkinan diabetes pada kehamilan akan hilang setelah bunda melahirkan. Sehingga disarankan untuk melakukan tes kadar gula darah lagi setelah bunda melahirkan untuk menentukan apakah bunda menjadi penderita diabetes atau tidak.

Walaupun mungkin bunda tidak mengidap penyekit diabetes setelah melahirkan tetapi tetap disarankan untuk menjaga pola makan dan pola hidup sehat dikemudian hari untuk menghindari timbulnya Diabetes Mellitus dikemudian hari.

Kulit bayi pada saat ini masih tipis dan transparan, dan masih keriput tapi lapisan kulit bayi bunda sudah mulai terisi dengan lapisan lemak. Bayi bunda di minggu ini sudah mulai bisa merasakan setiap minuman yang di konsumsi oleh ibunya karena indera perasa bayi sudah mulai berkembang. Paru-parunya sudah mulai membentuk cabang dan saluran pernafasannya sudah mulai membentuk menyerupai pohon.

Berat badan bayi bunda sekita 600-610 gram dengan tinggi badan sekitar 30-32 cm.

Me Vs. Baju Hamil

Buat ibu hamil yang punya body super Small seperti saya, mungkin akan ngalamin hal yang sama waktu hamil: susah nyari baju hamil yang pas di badan, ga "tua banget" model en motifnya en GAK bikin tenggelam ( susah deh!)

Waktu awal kehamilan sih ga terlalu berasa ya, masih muat baju2 yang ukuran M.. eh masuk bulan ke 4, udah bingung karna baju2 yang ada udah ga muat lagi, terutama baju kemeja buat kerja. Sedangkan untuk celana, gw udah ganti celana karet model skinny ( tetep pengen terlihat "muda") warna item yang ada kancing2 di pinggang, jadi bisa dipake sampe agak gede perutnya. o ya harganya ga terlalu mahal, dibawah IDR 150.000 dan ada di Matahari Department Store, keluaran St Yves.

Nah untuk atasan atau baju, udah pasti dong dengan size "mini" kaya gini gw kesusahan nyari terusan yang pas banget dibadan. rata2 kan model2 baju hamil panjang dan rada "molor" sedangkan untuk body yang super mini itu, baju2 tadi kelihatan lebih mirip daster..yeah, no need pants anymore!

Yang paling susah adalah nyari baju hamil yang pas ukuran bahunya..gw paling anti kan ama baju atau atasan yang bagian bahunya rada kedodoran. jadi deh kita muterin beberapa Mall sampe ngubek2 maternity shop baik yang virtual store atau langsung jajalin toko2nya dan hasilnya nothing sampe beberapa minggu

Akhirnya mau ga mau, kita jajal tempat andalan kalo nyari sesuatu : Mangga Dua. Eh ternyata udah muterin beberapa toko dari yang jual produk lokal sampe produk impor sampe kaki pegel juga tetep aja bajunya pada kebesaran dong!

Naah akhirnya ada satu2 embak2 yang jaga salah satu maternity shop yang baju2nya lucu2 banget tapi sayang ga muat ditubuh saya ini nyaranin toko Merry di ITC Mangga Dua lantai III dimana doi adalah satu2nya Maternity Shop yang juga baju hamil dengan size yang beragam. So there we went

Finally kita nemuin juga Toko Merry nya and bener aja, dari depan sampe belakang udah dipajang jajaran baju2 hamil yang lucuuu2 banget..pas liat gw, embaknya langsung giring gw ke belakang, dimana baju2 hamil dengan size gw dipajang. There, gw sempat kalap bingung mau milih yang mana! everything looked great!

Yang bikin seneng, ukurannya bener2 pas di badan gw ( dengan ikatan belakang yang bisa disesuaikan sampe hamil 9 bulan) bagian bahunya pas abis, bahan dan warnanya juga fresh en ga tua kaya yang biasa..malahan banyak yang pake konsep Patchwork which I love so much! mau pake Legging atau celana panjang juga ok deh! gimana gw ga kalap coba waktu milihnya!

Akhirnya karna keterbatasan dana ( bahkan udah overbudget) gw cuma berhasil membujuk suami untuk borong 3 baju ( FYI, per piecesnya lumayan ngalahin yang ada di Mall : mulai dari IDR 175.000, tapi dengan bahan yang ga murahan : katun, ga panas, nyerap keringat dan ga perlu perawatan manja)

O ya selain terusan juga banyak dijual mini dress bahkan baju pesta buat ibu2 hamil dengan model yang bikin pengen "grauk" semuanya. Karna bukan mass production juga, untuk 1 model dan size hanya ada 1 stok untuk tiap warnanya, jadi kebayang kan kalo dateng pas lagi sepi stock bisa ga puas milihnya

So menurut gw cukup worthed untuk beli baju keluaran toko ini. Dengan harga segitu, kita udah bisa depetin baju2 dengan kualitas yang bagus dengan model yang lucu2 dan modis juga loh. Yang pasti ga terlihat "tua" dengan warna yang lembut kaya soft pink, blue atau pastel. Beneran deh kalo gw diajak belanja kesana lagi pasti deh ga nolak ( Berharap.com!)

23 weeks Pregnancy

This week your baby's length, from crown-to-rump, is approximately 8 inches! Your growing baby has finally reached one pound. Your baby is about the size of a small baby doll and looks very human. The baby's face and body look similar to that of a newborn at this time. Your uterus can be found about 1.5 inches above your navel. Your total weight gain should be approximately 15 pounds at this time.

You might notice some Braxton-Hicks contractions around this time. These contractions are not regular and they should not be painful. Braxton-Hicks contractions prepare your body for the upcoming labor and they will get stronger as your pregnancy progresses. You might be able to feel the contractions if you put your hand on your abdomen and your baby can probably feel the uterus gripping and massaging her. It will not harm your baby, so there is no need for concern.

Fat is still being deposited at a rapid rate, but your baby still looks red and wrinkled. Skin is being produced at a higher rate than the fat is, so the skin hangs loosely. Your baby looks red because the skin is losing its transparency and pigment is beginning to form. You should be feeling your baby moving quite a bit throughout the day as she will kick and punch the uterus walls. Babies also run their hands along the umbilical cord and touch their body parts while they are in the womb. Your baby now can suck her thumb for real, where she was just sticking it in her mouth. Your baby will continue to swallow amniotic fluid and recycle it as urine. The liquids and sugars that the baby retracts from the fluid is a supplement to the nutrients that the placenta delivers. You might be able to feel small `jumps` inside of you when your baby gets the hiccups from swallowing fluid. The pancreas is developing and it will responsible for insulin production, to help break down sugars.

Oily fish in your diet could help boost your baby's health. (Women who eat oily fish while pregnant have children with better visual development, a major study at Bristol University suggests.)

As the baby continues to grow, it has less space to move around in the uterus. Bones, muscles and organs are growing steadily.

22 Weeks Pregnancy

Your baby's crown-to-rump length is approximately 7.6 inches and your growing baby weighs about 12.25 ounces now! Your uterus is about 2 cm above your bellybutton and you probably feel comfortably pregnant. Your growing tummy is not yet large enough to get in the way and you should still be able to bend over and sit without much trouble. You might be enjoying your pregnancy more than ever at this point if morning sickness was an issue in the early weeks.

Your baby's body continues to grow and develop every day. The organ systems in your baby's body are becoming specialized for their particular functions. The fetal liver produces different enzymes than it will produce after delivery. The liver is responsible for breaking down billirubin, which is produced by the breaking down of blood cells. Because the life span of a fetal red blood cell is shorter than that of an adult, a fetus produces more billirubin than adults do. Billirubin passes from fetal blood to the placenta and then into your blood. Your liver helps get rid of fetal billirubin. A newborn baby that has high levels of billirubin may show signs of jaundice. Jaundiced babies have a yellowish tint to their eyes and skin and are often treated with phototherapy.

Your baby's senses are developing daily. The fetus now has a full complement of neurons in the brain and is learning about her body and surroundings through touch. Touch is one of the first senses to mature and your baby may stroke its face or feel her arms and legs.

Your blood volume has increased more to meet the demands of your pregnancy. Most of the increase is in the form of plasma, the liquid part of your blood. This has the ability to dilute your blood and give you physiological anemia, which occurs during pregnancy. The measure of blood dilution is called Hematocrit and the levels reach their lowest points this week. You should check with your doctor to make sure you are not developing more serious forms of anemia.

Your baby now shows an extremely rapid brain growth (which lasts until five years after birth).

The ovaries of female fetuses contain primitive egg cells, all of the eggs a woman will have for her entire life. The uterus of female fetuses is also fully formed.

from http://www.i-am-pregnant.com/

21 weeks pregnancy

Your baby's blood circulation is completely functional. The umbilical cord system continues to grow and thicken as blood travels with considerable force through the body to nurture the baby. The placenta is now almost equal in size to the baby.

Your baby will be getting much larger during the second half of your pregnancy. Your baby's crown-to-rump length at this time is 7.2 inches and she weighs approximately 10.5 ounces. Your growing baby is about the size of a large banana. You should be able to feel your uterus about a half of an inch above your navel. Your weight gain so far will be around 10 to 15 pounds.

As your baby begins to lay down more fat, your weight will also increase. During the next 10 weeks, you will gain about half of the total gain for your entire pregnancy. Strangers can now tell that you are pregnant! You might notice an increase in appetite because you need 500 more calories a day to support your charged up metabolism. It is best to avoid processed foods or foods high in fat, calories or sugar. Some women also get strong cravings for foods. If you notice a craving for something unhealthy, you should contact your doctor. Craving for unusual things is known as pica. Some women crave cigarette ashes, charcoal, beer and other non-food items during this time.

Your baby's different organs and systems are maturing. The fetal digestive system is functioning in a simple way and your baby can swallow amniotic fluid. After your baby swallows the amniotic fluid, she is able to absorb water and sugars from the fluid and then the waste is passed as far as the large bowel. Your baby swallows the amniotic fluid in order to prepare itself for life outside of the womb. Some babies consume as much as 17 ounces of amniotic fluid in a 24-hour period. Your baby already has a high number of red blood cells and the white blood cells are beginning to be produced. Taste buds are being formed on your baby's tongue this week also.

Don't be surprised if your legs and feet become swollen throughout the day. You should try to get off of your feet some throughout the day and prop your legs up. If you notice a substantial amount of swelling, you should contact your healthcare provider for evaluation.

20 weeks pregnancy

Congratulations! This week marks the half way point of your pregnancy. It has been 18 weeks since the date of conception and your baby's crown-to-rump length is 5.6 to 6.4 inches. The fetus weighs about 9 ounces and your belly definitely has an obvious bulge. Your waistline has expanded and is no longer visible. Your uterus has now moved up enough that it is pushing your abdomen outwards. The top of your uterus is even with or just below your navel.


Sex organs are showing clearly on this girl

For the remainder of your pregnancy, the growing uterus puts pressure on your lungs, stomach and kidneys. This will make you feel short of breath, the need to urinate more frequently and can cause indigestion. The added pressure on your abdomen can also cause your bellybutton to protrude and cause an `outy` instead of an `inny`. Many pregnant women begin to notice stretch marks around this time as well. Your abdominal muscles are being stretched and pushed apart as your baby grows inside of you.

Your baby's skin begins to thicken this week and will develop four layers. Your baby's sebaceous glands secrete a waxy substance called vernix caseosa. Your baby will be born with this wax and it will look like paste. The vernix caseosa is crucial because it protects the fetus' fragile skin from the continuous immersion in amniotic fluid. Lanugo hairs secure the vernix caseosa in place and it is thick around the eyebrows. Scalp hair and toenails are beginning to form at this point. Hair can also be seen on the upper lip and eyebrows.

Around twenty weeks, most doctors will order a routine ultrasound to check the baby's development. Measurements will be taken and the sonogram technician will check to make sure there are no defects or abnormalities. Your ultrasound technician can also see how long your cervix is and can tell you approximately how much your baby weighs at this time. Most expectant women also find out the sex of their baby during this time! If your sonographer does not offer pictures, ask them for a copy of the photos.

Roemah Kebun Bandung

These Pictures were taken when we had a holiday in Bandung with our lovely nephew, Tabitha. We went to have a lunch at Roemah Kebun on Riau Street, Bandung

The food that offered there was not quite different from other venue in Bandung. Customer could enjoy traditional Sunda food or western food such us steak or lasagna. We chose Ayam Goreng kremes, Tahu goreng and Lalapan.

The special concept of this restaurant was the outdoor area. There was a big pond in the center contained big and pretty fishes. The costumer could stay and play close to the fishes. That was why the kids, and also my nephew was so excited to play there

First Kicks

His First kick appear at least two weeks ago but I could feel it clear since a week ago. The first one happened when I was laid on my bed and talked to my baby. I felt something smooth but sure like a heavy gas inside my tummy. It happened only once but so clear enough.

Then since this week, His kicks often visit us, especially at night, when we have our quality time after one single working day. yes, He could kick me once, then come again after a few minutes or twice for a second! it is so surprised!!!

Since this two days, his movements and kicks appear often and harder than before. He also always kicks me early in the morning, so at least by 5. am I will wake up because that kicks. We always spend this time together by talking to each other after saying a morning prayer. Yes, for a few minutes, He will send me some of his best kicks to start the day!

Then after He finishes to say hello and good morning to me, I will do my morning task, such us preparing the breakfast and lunch. The baby usually visits me again to have a quality time together around 3 pm, where we have our nap together, before He meets his daddy at night

His Daddy always try to hear that kick also, by putting his hand or ear on my tummy, where he kicks before. But for this time, the kicks are only suitable for mommy and the baby, He would save the bigger kick for his daddy for a weeks to go!!

Kontrol Ke 5

Di kontrol kali ini, posisi si baby yang umurnya 19 minggu 6 hari ini "lain dari biasanya" kalo tiap kontrol selama ini doi pilih "diintip" dengan posisi normal I mean Kaya orang berdiri dengan tubuh bagian depan menyapa layar, sekarang doi pilih mamerin diri dengan posisi duduk "agak" angkat kaki ( hayyaaa..lagi santai ya baby?) hehe...lucuu banget ngeliatnya dengan kaki yang agak sedikit ditekuk...soo amazing!!

O ya kali ini otak dan tulang kepalanya udah kelihatan, Puji Tuhan gak ada kelainan..trs tadi juga udah bisa diintip bagian dalam kepalanya, kaya otak kiri dan kanan yang kata Dokternya berbentuk kaya Mickey Mouse ( halah!) tadinya kita ga nyangka loh kalo USG 2 dimensi ini juga bisa mencakup bagian dalam otak tadi

Selain yang diatas tadi kita juga udah bisa liat bagian dada kaya jantung, paru-paru trs tangan dan juga kakinya..sekali lagi Puji Tuhan all the body parts are so blessed! Detak jantung juga 150, ga ad kelainan sama sekali

Karna posisinya kali ini "jual mahal" untuk nunjukin daerah Privacy-nya, " Monas" ( skali lagi ini bahasa Dokternya) nya ga bisa kelihatan deh..but its okay walopun si emak nya ini tetep pengeen mastiin lagi ( dasar nih ga pernah puas)

(Gini nih posisinya kemaren)

Berat badannya juga lumayan naik banyak, udah mencapai 325 gr. Malahan Mommy-nya yang "kecolongan", BB yang ditargetin cuma naik 1 kg, malah kelebihan dikit nih, walopun kata Dokternya masih normal dan pas, tapi rasanya udah ketakutan aja "bengkak" dari sekarang

Last, untuk kontrol ke 6 nanti, kita mau jajal yang namanya USG 3/4D. Pendaftaran sih udah dimulai abis kontrol tadi dan jadwalnya jatoh ditanggal 23 November nanti...penasaran euy, pengen liat si Baby lebih jelas lagi..!!!

Anyway, thanks God nothing to be worried. Bless us during this journey, God!

Kehamilan 18 Minggu

Kehamilan juga dapat menimbulkan keluhan sulit tidur. Hal ini dapt terjadi karena bunda jadi sering berkemih di malam hari atau perut bunda sudah mulai membesar yang membuat bunda sedikit sulit dengan posisi tidur karena sudah mulai merasakan ada rasa mengganjal.

Posisi tidur pada saat kehamilan cukup mengganggu, tapi hal ini hanya akan berlangsung selama beberapa minggu yang selanjutnya akan lebih terbiasa. Mengurangi kesulitan tidur pada saat kehamilan bisa dilakukan dengan mengubah posisi tidur yang lebih nyaman.

Posisi tidur yang disarankan adalah tidur dengan posisi miring ke arah kiri dan menyelipkan bantal diantara kaki. Selain posisi tidur tersebut mungkin bunda juga dapat merubah ke arah lain atau menggunakan guling sebagai alternatif. Lambat laun bunda akan menemukan posisi tidur yang nyaman buat bunda.

Sebelum tidur juga sebaiknya mengurangi jumlah asupan zat cair, tetapi pengurangan ini dalam porsi yang wajar dan tidak menyebabkan bunda dehidrasi, atau usahakan untuk melakukan olah raga di siang hari karena olah raga yang teratur akan membuat peredaran darah lebih lancar dan mudah tidur.

Bunda sudah mulai dapat merasakan tendangan dari bayi bunda, pada minggu ke 18 ini tangan dan kaki bayi sudah mulai bergerak secara fleksibel. Apabila bayi bunda laki-laki maka kelaminnya sudah dapat terlihat, sedangkan apabila bayi bunda perempuan, rahimnya dan tube fallopinya terbentuk. Pada kulit luar bayi akan terbentuk suatu lapisan tipis yang akan melindunginya selama bayi mengambang di amniotic fluid (ketuban) atau yang disebut dengan vernix.

Berat badan bayi bunda sudah mencapai 190-200 gram dengan tinggi badan 14-15 cm.

Minggu 19 Kehamilan

Pening ataupun juga bisa bunda rasakan di minggu ke 19 ini. Pening ini bisa terjadi karena tekanan akibat melebarnya jaringan darah di urat rahim bunda. Selain itu, posisi yang tiba-tiba bangun akan menimbulkan perubahan aliran darah di otak seiring dengan perubahan posisi secara tiba-tiba. Rasa pening ini terjadi apabila bunda bangun dari posisi tidur secara tiba-tiba atau kelaparan dan kehausan, kepanasan (berendam di air panas terlalu lama atau berjalan di luar dengan panas terik), kurang darah (anemia).

Apabila bunda mengalami pening setelah bangun dari tidur maka sebaiknya apabila bunda bangun dari posisi tidur atau tiduran sebaiknya tidak langsung berdiri, melainkan bangun terlebih dahulu, lalu duduk sebentar, lalu letakkan kaki disamping tempat tidur, baru kemudian bangun.

Namun apabila keluan pening muncul karena kurang darah maka langsung konsumsi suplemen tambahan atau makanan yang mengandung zat besi. Kehamilan di minggu ke 19 bayi sudah mulai dapat melakukan kegiatan tidur seperti layaknya bayi yang telah lahir. Apabila bayi yang di kandung adalah bayi perempuan maka ovarium bayi sudah mulai terdapat sel telurnya. Selanjutnya, ginjal bayi terus bekerja yang juga mengeluarkan urin. Akar dari rambut bayi sudah mulai berkembang.

Berat badan bayi bunda 300-400 gram dengan tinggi badan 16-15 cm.

Kontrol Ke 4

Waktu kontrol yang ke-4 kemaren, ada yang lebih spesial karna kelamin si kecil udah "bisa" terprediksi. Ini dia yang bikin harap2 cemas, selain penasaran dengan perkembangan si bayi mungil.

Sebelumnya, berbagai tebak2 buah manggis juga berdatangan, dari yang bilang pasti bayinya cowo karna gw keliatan lebih jelek sejak hamil ( haduh sedih juga ya, ) eh ternyata berubah lagi pasca gw gunting rambut. pada bilang makin cakep, pasti anaknya cewe ( halah! ) trs ada orang tua murid yang bilang kulit gw jadi mulus, pasti cewe nih anaknya ( padahal kayanya kulit gw gini2 aja deh sejak dulu) lucunya ada rekan kerja yang liat dari "buah dada" gw yang kayanya "numbuh"nya pesat sejak hamil, berbanding terbalik ama kondisi doi dulu yang akhirnya ngelahirin anak perempuan. okelah, sedikit realistis..hehe

Belum lagi rekaan dari mertua dan mama, semuanya mengarah ama "sejarah" keluarga kita yang minus anak dari gender tertentu. Pokonya semua rekaan bikin dag dig dug juga..mana yanng bener ya??

Back to the topic, dua minggu yang lalu waktu kontrol itu si bayi umurnya ada di minggu ke 15 6 hari, beratnya udah 144 gram dengan tinggi pas 100 cm. Nah menurut Dokter, si bayi ini cenderung agak panjang dan besar. Itu juga terlihat waktu kita baca2 perkembangan bayi di website and majalah yang pada bilang diusia segitu dengan berat dan panjangnya, si bayi cenderung gede. sepertinya sih mengikuti rangka Papa nya yang "guede", berbanding terbalik ama Mama nya ini

O ya waktu dia diUSG, si baby kecil kita lagi berusaha menghisap ibu jarinya, tapi karna belum bisa, posisi tangan kecilnya cuma nyander di kepala bagian depan ( belum bisa gerakin jarinya) so kata dokternya kaya lagi posisi orang ngomong : cape deh!! hihihi sooo cute!

Trs doi juga udah ga "Malu" nunjukin "jati diri" alias showed his gender. Posisinya membuka lebar selangkangan, seakan tau kalo kita udah pengen ngintip "itu"nya. Akhirnya pasca nunjukin daerah "privacy" si bebi, Dokter pun dengan keyakinan 90% menyatakan kalo si bebi berjenis kelamin Laki Laki alias si Ucok, kata Dokternya. what a nice surprised!!

Anyway, Thanks God bayi kita sehat2 dan berkembang pesat. Mungkin at the next control kita mau coba USG 4D untuk lihat lebih jelas figur si bayi. rasanya ga sabaar banget untuk ngintip lagi si bayi kecil!!

My 25th Birthday

This is the small celebration of my 25th birthday on September 24th. Different from last year now we had a another wishes and expectations : the born of our beloved baby

Preparing the cake

Anyway, I had no plan for my day due to my conditions ( I was not fit enough to go somewhere far from home) so that was why we just decided to have a dinner at one of my favorite vendor near our flat : Pizza Hut

Here is the cake

So I waited for the coming of my husband at that nite. But beyond of my expectations, he came home with something special that I had thought before : My Birthday Cake! I was so surprised!

The birthday wife

Then We postponed the dinner Plan for the day after. So My guy made that special celebration. We sang Happy birthday, I blew the candle after said my wish, prayed together and eat that lovely cake! yummy

I was soo happy at that nite for that surprised. I never thought my hubby would do that lovely things because He is not that kind of a "surprised giver" husband!. hehe..

Blowing the candle

Hmm so about the birthday wish, I just hope that God will guide me to be a better wife, mommy, daughter and friends to everyone, esp those whom I love

Anyway, Thank you Father for all the blessings that we had received, especially for this awesome gift. Please bless this small family, Dwell among Us, so we will never be away from your love. Amen

17 Weeks Pregnancy

Your baby's weight has doubled in two weeks and now weighs about 3.5 ounces! The crown-to-rump length of your growing baby is 4.4 to 4.8 inches. If you spread your hand out opened wide, you can see about how big your baby is.

Your uterus is moving up and is now approximately 1.5 to 2 inches below your navel. You are showing more now and there is a noticeable swelling in your abdomen. At this point in your pregnancy, a 5 to 10 pound weight gain is normal. Other people can probably feel the difference in your lower abdomen if they were to rub your tummy. To be the most comfortable, you should be wearing maternity clothes or clothing that is too large for you. You may have felt your baby move already. However, you might not feel it move every day at this point. As your pregnancy progresses, movements become stronger and more frequent. Feeling your baby move can help reassure you that your baby is doing well. You might also notice that your gums or nose bleed occasionally. This is from the increased blood volume that puts pressure on small blood vessels and capillaries.

Huge changes continue to take place within your developing baby. This week fat begins to form and will continue to do so until he is born. Fat is important to the body's heat production and metabolism. Right now, at 17 weeks, water makes up about 3 ounces and fat 0.018 ounces of your baby's body. In a baby at term, fat makes up about 5.25 pounds of the total average weight of 7.7 pounds. The placenta is continuing to grow at an amazing rate. The placenta will continue to develop in tandem with the fetus and it will weigh more than a pound at birth! By this week, the placenta is large and well established with a network of blood vessels that exchange nutrients and waste.

The eyes are facing more forward. The ears are now close to their final position.

Your baby is more flexible with ability to move head, mouth, lips, arms, wrists, hands, legs, feet, and toes.

Fingerprints are forming now.

Kehamilan 17 Minggu

Apabila bunda sudah terbiasa melakukan olah raga secara teratur sebelum hamil, sebaiknya tetap pertahankan kebiasaan olah raga tersebut, karena pada minggu ke 17 kehamilan ini, bunda akan merasa tubuh mulai tidak proporsional lagi ataupun akan merasa bunda menjadi lebih berat. Kegiatan olah raga ini juga sangat bermanfaat bagi bayi dan tubuh bunda.

Tubuh akan lebih berenergi, dan memperbaiki kualitas tidur karena olah raga dapat memperlancar peredaran darah bunda, mengurangi pegal-pegal dipersendian tubuh bunda atau kelelahan punggung. Olah raga yang dapat bunda lakukan selama kehamilan adalah olah raga yang ringan antara lain: jalan kaki dengan kecepatan yang cukup, bersepeda dengan kecepatan yang cukup, yoga, renang (tetapi harus diperhatikan suhu air yang tidak terlalu panas atau terlalu dingin), melakukan stretching dan relaksasi.

Perkembangan bayi bunda sudah berbentuk manusia di fase ini. Lemak sudah mulai terbentuk di bawah jaringan kulit bayi bunda yang akan berguna untuk mempertahankan suhu tubuh bayi pada saat lahir.

Minggu ke 17 kehamilan berat badan bayi bunda sudah mencapai 140-150 gram dengan tinggi badan 13 cm.

16 Weeks Pregnancy

At this point of your pregnancy, your baby is approximately 4.3 to 4.6 inches long and weighs 2.8 ounces. Not only is your baby growing, your uterus and placenta continue to grow to accommodate the growing baby inside of you! Just six weeks ago, your uterus weighed about 5 ounces. This week it now weighs 8.75 ounces! The amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby is increasing and there is about 7.5 ounces of fluid. You will easily be able to feel your uterus approximately three inches below your navel.

This is an important week for testing and you will most likely have an AFP test done. This is a harmless blood test that is done to detect abnormalities such as Down's syndrome or spina bifida. This is a non-invasive test and it carries no risk to your developing baby. Most doctors will offer the test, but in most cases it is completely optional.

Your milk glands start production at this time and this causes some tenderness and swelling in early pregnancy. Your veins will become more visible because there is an increased amount of blood flowing to the breasts.

Five and a half inches tall and only six ounces in weight. The child can grasp with his hands, kick, or even somersault.

At this time, your baby is holding her head erect. Because her muscles are developing, she can make some faces now. Your baby is able to squint, frown and open its mouth. There is enough calcium in the bones that they will show up on an x-ray. Your baby's fingernails are well formed now and the legs are longer than the arms. Because your baby is moving well now, you may begin to feel his movements! Some women say that the early movements feel like gas bubbles or a slight flutter. If you have not yet felt the baby move, don't worry. Fetal movements are usually felt between the 16th and 20th week of pregnancy.

You may feel your heart beating 'louder'. This is because there is a lot more blood in your body than normal. (about 20-25% more)
