11 Sept 08 – My regular ANC (fortnightly). My baby is at 34weeks. Weighs about 2.2kg. During he CTG she’s hardly move but her heartbeat is normal. She’s now in cephalic position. Now she moves quite a lot. Kicking here and there. I am so thrilled and counting my days.
15 Sept 08 – I had a kind of pain on my lower abdomen which I do not know how to describe. First time I felt the pain this morning. Can’t move a lot. I was made to understand that is called BRAXTON-HICKS Contractions (False Contractions). It lasts about one hour. Now I am ok.
My wishlist:
1. Stroller – a close relative will give me as a gift
2. Baby Carseat – an agent of one company that related to my pregnancy will give me as a gift
3. Sterilizer – anyone? hehehehehe….
23 Sept 08 – I’m suffering from severe headache for the past 3 days. When I checked my BP (I have a machine at home), confirmed it surged to highest 140/103. This morning it reduced to 137/96. So I called TMC to ask them what should I do if the BP surge again. They ask me to come and see the doctor. When I arrive, the nurse checked my BP which reads 136/98, which is considered high. Then the sonographer do the normal scan. My baby weighs 2.56kg. She’s still in cephalic position and facing towards my right. When the sonographer asked me whether to do 3D (since the view is quite clear), gegirl put both her hands in front of her face. So shy hahahaahh ….. unfortunately I left the picture at home (will be updated once I back home).
Then we met the doctor. Doctor described me as suffering from pre-eclampsia which may lead to stroke and heart attack. He said I need to be hospitalized and closely monitored. So now, I am in a specialist hospital for the next few days. He prescribed some medicine to reduce the BP. At the same time he talked about the possibility of having early delivery (c-sec) should my condition does not improve in the next few days. huhuhuuhhu …..
24 Sept 08 – Doctor Wong came and visit me. He is quite concerned about my BP. Even though seems normalized, but I still got headache. His advised is to get early delivery but still he said let Dr Lee decide.
25 Sept 08 – My 3rd day in hospital. I was made to understand the visiting doctor today will be Dr Lee. So I waited. Around 10am he came in. He said need to discuss with me about the option that I have. He is concerned about my BP reading which is currently impending to pre-eclampsia. The effect can be fatal. To be precautious, I have to deliver TOMORROW! Surprised! My husband look at me and vice versa. We were not mentally prepared. I said I need to discuss with my hubby first. After give a full consideration, we agreed with tomorrow, of course via c-section.. huhuhuhu ….
Today we also signed-up for Stemtech International stem cell storage. Everything is last minute because the unscheduled delivery.
26 Sept 2008 – D’Day.
My specialbaby was born @12:21pm today. Weighs 2.4kg, and has to be monitored under Special Care Nursery & put in an incubator. We become parents!!! So fast ….
Since I deliver through a c-sec, I could not hold her until 27/9/08. So sweet. I tried to give her my milk but she’s so small & still learning hhihihihi …
26 Sept 08 – Next ANC, Dr will do the blood flow test as well. (cancelled).

Alhamdulillah syukur…
I’m so happy for both of you. Please continue updating your story. Your lil princess ….she’s very beautiful
as i read your blog, tears fell down my face.. i have been TTC for the last 2 years.. but in vain due to stage 4 endometriosis.
just had my surgery in April this year, and thought that it will all go well from then on, but during the surgery the doc found that my tubes were not fucntioning properly and chances of conceiving naturally is extremely low. i just had my first period after the surgery last month (Oct) and hubby and I tried for the first time to conceive naturally, but then my period came 4 days ago… 😦 so i went back to my specialist for a scan and the doc advised to start IVF treatment this Dec.
and then as if by fate, i stumbled across your blog.. and realised we go to the same fertility center. My doc is Dr Wong Pak Seng!! when i say your photos and the very familiar bag they put the meds in with that blue mum and baby logo in the center, my heart soared. and to read your wonderful story about the whole journey from the beginning till the birth of your wonderful baby, i couldn’t stop the tears.. your blog has given me hope.. especially now since i am so depressed with the situation i am facing. there is absolutely nothing wrong with hubby – his sperm count, mobility and etc are all above average.. but we still can’t have a baby bcos of my situation.
and when the doc suggested IVF, i balked at the cost of it. RM18k – RM20k estimated. thats a LOT of money.. and its only a 20-30% chance with my condition. naturally, my heart sank.
so thank you, your blog has given me hope again. i really am glad that your life has been blessed with such a great bundle of joy.. i hope i will walk in the same path that you have.. then one day i can share the same story and you’ll be the one i will be thankful for… cos when i was at the lowest point of my life, you and your blog gave me hope. thank you specialmom – God bless your kind heart..
hi khoops,
im planning to start IVF next month with dr. wong pak seng as well, in sunway… i just got call from dr. wong that i hv pcos which will have high rate of miscarriage… is dr.wong good?

Hi There…
Congratulations! I am so happy to have found your blog. We have just started the IVF process recently with Dr Colin and it’s so good to be able to look at what to expect. So thank you!
hi…..I’ve been updating ur blog since the very beginning your visit to TMC. I am one of the TMC patient too. 1 years ago, I went thru the laporoscopy to remove the fibroid & endometrosis. My doc. is Dr Wong Pak Seng. He is quite experienced and he gave us lots of hope because my husband & myself already been married for about 8 years and not be able to conceive at all.
After seeing so many doctors from famous hospital i.e, Glenages, Pantai etc….no one doctors r able to help us till one of my friend recommended me to see Dr Wong from TMC. But thank god, i’m able to conceive about 5 months now. Recently, i went to see Dr Wong again, but unfortunately he had resigned from TMC and is based in Sunway Medical Centre now.
Dear specialmom….congratulations on your miracle…have been TTC for 9 years now.Insyaallah will start our ICSI somewhere in July this year.Am very happy for you!!
Hi Specialmom, I am so happy for you. So great to see the pic of your baby. Hubby and me ttc for 1.5 years. In process of IUI now. Take Care & All the best!
