I still remember the day I went down to the local GP who confirmed my pregnancy. Actually me and my husband wasn't planning to have a baby until a later stage. I had just newly moved to Singapore from UK and trying to settle down. So when the GP confirmed I was 1 months pregnant I was excited and scared. Excited as it was a new stage of life for me, scared as all my family members are living in UK, I was really worried I couldn't handle being a mother. Every thou my mother was in UK she will call me every alternate days and teach me how to cook nutrition foods and soup for myself. It was quite hectic at first as I had never come across all these Chinese herbs and I didn't even know what they looked like, I remember my mum calling me on MSN and holding up each type of herb in front of the camera to show me. It was quite amazing seeing my tummy grow bigger and bigger each day, I could feel the baby punch and kick inside me.My husband always asked how does it feel but up till now I cannot describe to him the feeling. I was still working on the day I give birth, I remember after work I had an appointment at KK Hospital. After my check up the doctor had asked my husband if he would like to become a father tonight. Luckily my labour wasn't a long one as I had heard stories that the first pregnancy can take up to 8 hours, my labour was short 3 hours one. We fell in love with our little boy the first time we set eye on him, he was adorable. Now he is already 19 months we still cannot believe he use to be so tiny and so fragile.
