When I got married 3 year ago, all I could think about was having a baby. In my head it was the glamorous thing to do when you married. Some of my friend got pregnant on their honeymoon, one even told me the reason I didn’t get pregnant right away was because “the fish can’t swim” I didn’t want a kid that fast I wanted to wait a while at the same time not trying to prevent it either. We went on a whole year before it happen. By my standard it was perfect timing, but some people didn’t think so. During that year I get to experienced people’s idea of conception. I had people coming up to me saying when are you going to have a baby? I had relatives harassing me about it, “when are you giving us a baby blah blah blah” church people, friends here and there. It feels like the minute you get married that’s the only subject that come up in conversation. Where am I going with this? I’m talking about how insensitive it is to be like that. I never had any trouble having babies, but it not always the case for everybody. One of my friends had three miscarriages; when she finally had a baby all her coworkers shouted “It’s about time!” As if she had been delaying pregnancy so she could enjoy a few more years of late night partying, clueless about her two year journey to have a baby. Before having a baby I thought people who didn’t have kids just didn’t want them and people who want to have kid would get pregnant easily, not quite the case. The land of trying to conceive is a very lonely, heartbreaking place that people for obvious reasons usually like to keep secret. People don’t go around announcing that they’ve been trying for 16 months, or that they’re infertile, or that the guy has a low sperm count, or that she’s taking Clomid and has been picked and prodded twenty times in the last month, or underwent 3 cycle of IUI. There’s a natural tendency to keep this information secret. So next time you see a young couple without a baby try not grill them about not having a baby because you never know what may be going on behind closed door in the land of Trying To Conceive.

Get in the know before you TTC

WOW! It feels like yesterday I was pregnant with my daughter. She is now 10 months and I’m 18 weeks pregnant with my second child. I have not blog about it yet mainly because I was still in denial. I could not believe it would happen so soon… I mean WOW! How did that happen? well I know how it happen but man! I was just getting use to not being pregnant and bam! I’m pregnant again! Now my stomach it starting to bulge I’m starting to grasp the idea. I hope its a boy this time so I have a perfect pair to cover with kisses!

Yippy yay!

Until later

What’s going on in your tummy now? A lot. Your baby-in-the-making is just a tiny ball consisting of several hundred cells that are multiplying madly. Once the ball of cells (called a blastocyst) takes up residence in your uterus, the part of it that will develop into the placenta starts producing the pregnancy hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which tells your ovaries to stop releasing eggs and triggers increased production of estrogen and progesterone (which keep your uterus from shedding its lining — and its tiny passenger woooh! that a very good feature— and stimulates placental growth). HCG is the hormone that turns a pregnancy test positive; by the end of this week, you may be able to take one and get a positive result! (If your test is negative and you still haven’t gotten your period in two or three days, try again then.)

In the mean time, amniotic fluid is beginning to collect around your ball of cells in the cavity that will become the amniotic sac. This fluid will cushion your baby in the weeks and months ahead. Right now, your little ball of cell is receiving oxygen and nutrients (and discarding waste products) through a primitive circulation system made up of microscopic tunnels that connect your developing baby to the blood vessels in your uterine wall. The placenta won’t be developed enough to take over this task until the end of next week.

How is your life changing?

THE meeting has taken place inside you —one single soldier (sperm) has made it through the tough outer membrane of your egg and fertilized it. Several days after conception, the fertilized egg burrowed into the lining of your uterus and started to grow. You are having a baby! You probably don’t know you’re pregnant yet, but you may notice a little spotting by the end of this week or not I never had any spotting. This so-called “implantation spotting” may be caused by the egg burrowing into the blood-rich uterine lining (a process that began last week at 6 days after fertilization), but no one knows for sure. In any case, the spotting is very ligh.
