I know, I know… It’s Sunday today, but I’m working on something that’s part of Tuesday’s Thoughts… But after reading a couple of other mommies’ answers to these 20 questions, I want to join in too!!!
1. Was your pregnancy planned, and how old were you?
For Blake, I came home from work one day and told Sean, “LET’S HAVE A BABY!” Haha. I was 23.
For Nakayla, I turned to him and said, “Let’s try for baby number two!” 😛 I was 25.
2. What were your reaction?
Both times, I was grinning from ear to ear. Haha!
3. How did you find out you were pregnant?
For Blake, I was patiently waiting for the day to arrive for me to test myself. Already had the test kits bought and on standby!
For Nakayla, I couldn’t wait to test. I tested (and wasted) with so many pregnancy test kits. Always testing earlier than I was supposed to. After 3 months passed and nothing positive came up, I gave up. Then next thing I know, I was late and it was positive!
4. Who did you tell first?
Sean!
5. Did you find out the sex?
Yup. I wanted to know, both times. Haha.
6. Did you have morning sickness?
For Blake, no.
For Nakayla, I only felt a little nauseousness and loss of appetite. No actual vomiting.
7. What did you crave?
For Blake, Chocolate ice cream, fast food
For Nakayla, Chinese food – especially Bak Chor Mee (Minced meat noodles)
But neither cravings were so bad that I had to have it.
8. Who / What irritated you the most?
People who push and shove me, even when I was heavily pregnant. And those who snatch seats from me on public transport! Haha.
9. Did you wish you had a different gender from what you obtained?
For Blake, no.
For Nakayla, I was half-hoping for a boy. But my original plan (like can plan like that, haha!) was elder brother, younger sister. And I got what I originally wanted. And I must say, having another girl in the family is really good! Haha.
10. How many kilos did you gain during the entire pregnancy?
For Blake, I gained about 15kg.
For Nakayla, I gained about 10kg.
11. Where did you think the baby was conceived?
At home, for sure. Hahahaha!
12. Did you have any complications during the pregnancy?
Nothing major.
For Blake, I had spotting in the first trimester.
For Nakayla, I had low lying placenta.
13. Where did you give birth?
Gleneagles! 😀
14. How many hours were you in labour?
I honestly have no idea when it started…
15. Who watched you give birth?
Both times – Sean, my gynae and the nurses
16. Was it natural, or C-Sect?
For Blake, Natural with Epidural
For Nakayla, Natural with only laughing gas (nearly died when I couldn’t have epidural!)
17. Did you take medication to ease the pain?
For Blake, after giving birth, I took painkillers (tablets) and had a further injection when the epidural wore off in the middle of the night and it hurt like mad!
For Nakayla, after giving birth, I only took painkillers (tablets).
18. When was your child born?
Blake, 9 September 2010
Nakayla, 21 November 2012
