Am I Pregnant?

I woke up this morning feeling like using the home pregnancy test kit to see if I am pregnant. I know my period is not due yet for another 3 days but basically it has already reached the 28-days cycle, right?

Anyway, I read somewhere that it is more accurate to test it first thing in the morning during your first pee as the hCG level is higher then.

So, what did I get? A faint line line of a positive sign. Is it a faint line or is it not?

As I have not missed my period yet, I guess I should have been a little more patient and test it next week to confirm if I am pregnant or not!

Let's wait for a more accurate result next week!

Pre-conception Prep

I bought a book titled "What To Expect When You're Expecting" by Heidi Murkoff. It is a very good book. Something like a prenancy and baby bible to me.

There are a few thing mentioned in this book some of the preconception steps one should take before we conceive. Some which I find practical are:

#1. Start looking for a prenatal practitioner - Hmmm, i haven't really seriously gone to this far yet. I didn't even ask friends about it. I just browse the net looking for info.

#2. Smile for the dentist - Pregnancy hormones can actually aggravate gum and tooth problems. So I should get my 2 wisdom tooth surgery done. Sigh...I'm scared. I guess they have to wait.

#3. Check your family tree - There is no history of medical issues regarding pregnancy in both our families as far as I know. The only concern is that my mum vomitted 7 times daily for all three of her pregnancies during the first trimester! Oh god...help!

#4. Get tested - Some of the tests which I want to do are:

> Pap Smear
> STDs and HIV test
> Thalasaemia
> Hepatitis B

I already made up my mind to schedule an appointment with Dr. Sally Ong @ Koe Clinic next Monday. I want to be as healthy as possible before I try to conceive.

Pray for me peeps!

Perhaps Baby

I name this blog 'Perhaps Baby' because this blog is dedicated to my future little bundle of joy. I decided to start this blog to jot down my journey of pregnancy and motherhood. Actually, I am not even pregnant yet! But I am excited yet nervous on embarking this new journey.

Peter & I were pronounced Husband & Wife on a sunny Sat morning on 9th Dec 2006. Almost a year later, we tied the knot and had our wedding ceremony. We even created a Wedding Blog to mark down one of our happiest moments.
