Being a new mom got me mixed emotions. At some point, I'm excited that I'm about to have a baby and we'll make a family. The excitement of buying new clothes for baby and seeing the tiny little clothes that could only fit my palm for now can actually fit a human being. That's pretty exciting.
At the same time, it's worrisome also because I can't see the baby yet. I don't know what is happening to the baby. What should I do? Am I doing things wrong? If I move too fast, will the baby feel uncomfortable? How about going pass a speed bump? Will the baby feel stressful? Did I eat enough?
Did I eat well? If I sleep like this, does the baby move because he's uncomfortable?
Many questions replaying in my head everyday.
Then comes the joy of being able to feel baby's kick. Knowing that he's moving well inside. I just hope everything turns out well.
Today I went for my antenatal appointment with the nurse at KKIA. I was told that I didn't count baby's movement correctly. I admit, I misunderstood. It was suppose to be 1 movement count within a moment (like a span of 30 minutes or longer break for the next count). I thought it's per 10 minutes break. Got it now. To play safe, I think I'll just do every hourly count.
Speaking of which, I think baby enjoys this kind of lounge music playing in my office as "sound test" on Wednesdays. He was sleeping (no movement since 9:50am), now (10:33am) actively wriggling. That's exciting to know as well. (Yikes! Add that to the movement count!)
It's pretty difficult to notice once the work kicks in. I could hardly pay attention to his movement when I'm busy, but I hope to do it correctly this time as it's important to find out baby's movement to figure out if anything is wrong with the baby.
Done ranting. Back to work.
