How did I know that I was pregnant?

By using the home pregnancy test kit of course..hehe

But what actually prompted me to take that test?

It was a busy month for me and I spent most of my time in Indonesia and Singapore and I really didn’t expect to get pregnant so I found it about a wee bit later than other moms would (usually ppl would check in week 4 or 5, I did mine in week 6)

The first sign I had was increase in appetite.. I would have lunch TWICE (two big meals) and was still hungry after dinner (I would have bought another meal after dinner if its easy to get one but I lived on Floor 18 so I’d have to put on decent clothes and walk a bit for food)..This happened from week 2 to week 6..

I also felt bloated and every night I’d complain to Khalis whyyy la perut ni buncit sgt skg..(which could be due to the above pon)

And I was exhausted the whole time. I’d lie down on my bed as soon as I got home and slept right after isya’ on most nights.

And of course the major sign – missed period. But I thought that could be due to stress from all the traveling.

However, I decided to do the pregnancy test because of this – In week 6, I felt like there’s something, a lump, in my tummy every time I sneezed and I had to slightly bent my back to sneeze comfortably. It was then that I considered the possibility of pregnancy and I was right.
