Hey, Doc

July 13, 2015 | Elisia

So congrats, you’re pregnant. Now what? I guess it’s time to choose an obstetrician and get the proper care needed. People often refer to an obstetrician as a gynaecologist, but really they are two different types of doctors. Or maybe an obstetrician may be a gynaecologist, but a gynaecologist may not be an obstetrician. Have…

Dealing with the ‘M’ Word

July 10, 2015 | Elisia

I never thought I’ll continue talking about the ‘M’ word in another post, but I just saw an article about it being shared in one of the Facebook groups. I’ve never had to deal with the ‘M’ word (God forbid I ever do…), so I really can’t share the feeling of the experience. But no…

The ‘M’ Word

July 9, 2015 | Elisia

Yes, I am absolutely terrified of the ‘M’ word. It did not help that my mum and mother-in-law cautioned me not to carry heavy things or stretch too much, especially in the first trimester. Why the first trimester? It is said to be the most unstable period during pregnancy. My mum went further as to tell…

Humble Beginnings

July 2, 2015 | Elisia

I didn’t want to get my hopes up after the neither-here-nor-there result with the pee stick, so I thought I’ll wait out a week before going to see a GP. Just three days after the test, I was having slight cramps and to my horror, I saw a pinkish stain on the tissue when I…

Yes or No

July 1, 2015 | Elisia

I have never used a pregnancy test kit until I was trying for a baby. Yes, so imagine just how suaku I was when I finally had my virgin experience of using the pee stick. Haha, it’s like how my best friend described it: “a very adult thing to do”. 😀 There are lots of…

Planning for a Little One

June 23, 2015 | Elisia

This is a little of a backtrack but I thought I’ll talk a little about planning for a child since the topic came up a few days ago when my brother-in-law was telling my hubby about his rough plan of having a child. As strange as it may sound, hubby and I only really started…

The Miracle of Life

Yup, we all know that only one sperm will fertilise the egg, but here’s a very informative video that tells you the whole process.

Out of the 300 million sperm, only a few dozen will be left by the time they get past the cervix. And only ONE out of the few dozen left will fertilise the egg. Omg. I am truly mind blown.

By the way, sperm can live for a few days in the body, but the egg only lasts for 24 hours. So you really only have that precious 24 hours for fertilisation to take place and create a new life.

Talk about the miracle of life…

So When’s the Right Time?

June 18, 2015 | Elisia

It’s always sad when I hear friends telling me they have a hard time conceiving because their menstrual cycle is irregular. What that means is that it is hard for them to pinpoint their most fertile days, the day when they ovulate. Ladies with regular menstrual cycles, like me, have it a lot easier. With…

Just Keep Swimmin’

June 15, 2015 | Elisia

Lubricant can be really helpful for ladies who are a little dry down there. After all, you want your sexy session to be pleasurable and not full of pain. While normal lubricants do not contain spermicide, they do come with a precautionary message that says something like this: Lubricant may slow sperm down, so if…
