Petang tadi saya menonton Duke; a TV programme hosted by former Amazing Race Asia's winners. Tajuk discussion mereka menarik hati saya iaitu, "Can Man and Woman be friend?" Ada beberapa points mereka suggested in order to maintain a platonic relationship antara lelaki dan perempuan. Antaranya, perlu jujur dlm perhubungan dan transparent with each others feeling. Juga, jgn sesekali think about your friend in sexual related thought (ditujukan untuk lelaki khasnya). Ada betulnya juga..because the thin line between real friendship and relationship is too hazy. Adakala persahabatan yg akrab boleh menjadi hubungan yg lebih intim (marriage is what I meant) dan ada kala persahabatan itu kekal dlm konteksnya sehingga kedua-dua men and women itu sendiri berumahtangga dengan pasangan masing-masing. But, apabila berumahtangga, keakraban itu adakalanya tidak disenangi spouse masing-masing. Yelah, kalau dulu boleh la keluar makan atau minum berdua apabila ada masa lapang tanpa halangan namun apabila sudah berkahwin, adakah kita tetap melakukan perkara yg sama? Mungkin juga masih keluar minum atau melepak bersama TETAPI sudah tentu bersama spouse masing-masing kan? It's the reality of the opposite friendship. Saya had gone through this for several time. Because I prefer to befriend with guys (they are bunch of crazy and happening person for me) rather than girls..hakikat ini telah saya tempuhi seawal secondary school lagi. Bila persahabatan yg terlalu akrab telah menerbitkan rasa sayang yg telah melepasi zon sempadan yg sepatutnya.
And also the pitiful ways of ruined friendship because of the uninvited feelings yg lahir kemudiannya setelah masing-masing dewasa. Saya bukan kata hanya saya sahaja yg menolak cinta dari sahabat baik...saya juga putus cinta (terpaksa diputuskan) dengan sahabat baik saya sendiri. Bererti saya juga telah melanggar peraturan dlm persahabatan antara lelaki dan perempuan. Dan keadaan itu lebih menyakitkan bukan? Kerana saya kehilangan cinta dan juga persahabatan yg telah dibina sekian lama.
So, what do you think? Bolehkan lelaki dan perempuan menjadi sahabat akrab? For me, boleh...kerana saya juga masih mempunyai sahabat lelaki yg akrab hingga sekarang. Macamana? Hubungan itu masih diteruskan dan both my husband and his wife selalu dibawa menyertai aktiviti minum kopi bersama and both my husband and his wife yakin dengan keikhlasan hubungan kami yg telah lama dari secondary school lagi. Juga, jgn sembunyikan apa-apa dari spouse masing-masing..seperti apabila kawan call or sms..MELAINKAN ianya adalah rahsia yg patut disimpan...simpanlah sampai mati. Itu baru namanya kawan kan?
Nampakkah senyuman yg sungguh tidak ikhlas itu? I think Kak Ana might notice it as my cynical attempt to look friendly though I don't mean it. Hari ni rasa sangat geram yg disimpan sekian lama boiling hingga sampai tahap didih. Geram aku seperti biasa diakhiri dengan air mata geram. Haa..org selalu menangis kerana sedih atau tersentuh hati tapi aku menangis kerana geram atau marah. Jadi conclusion kerja hari ni membuatkan aku rasa sangat fed up dan menyampah dengan orang yg diktatoriat (betulkah?) untuk kesenangan diri sendiri. Pentingkan diri sendiri, kejayaan sendiri tapi untuk mendapat semua tu bukan atas susah payah diri sendiri tapi dengan memijak orang lain. Menyampah aku.

Why the cake? Any special occasion or celebration or anniversary? None of it..just the three of us celebrated our happiness of being together. After a week of being apart, Adam had fever on thursday and whenever I mentioned daddy's whereabout, he sulked and tears streaming from his eyes. Begitu besar kerinduan Adam pada daddy, berhari-hari asking for daddy. He asked again just now when the sky darken and daddy was no where in the house and this time I told him daddy is on course and will be back on friday which is 4 fingers away..I know he understand cuma terlalu kecil to accept the absence..so mommy has to be strong to keep going to be Adam's pillar of strength and happiness.


Pagi tadi ketika memakai uniform, seluar yg sebelumnya agak tight dibahagian pinggang-perut terasa agak longgar. Although rasanya makan tetap seperti aturan biasa. Mungkin kuantiti yg agak kecil dari sebelumnya sahaja yg menyebabkan ukuran pinggang mengecil sedikit dari dulu. Dan apabila memakai uniform setiap pagi, aku pasti rasa hiba. Uniform ini 3 bulan lepas telah dilipat dan disimpan didalam almari since I'll be wearing a maternity uniform until next year but atas kuasa Allah, uniform kerja ini dikeluarkan kembali untuk dipakai dan maternity uniform yg dilipat kembali dan disimpan. Pagi tadi hati terasa hiba tiba-tiba...teringat pada kenangan yg satu itu. Sekiranya aku masih mengandung, kandungan sudah mencapai usia 15 minggu. Sudah lengkap sifatnya.
Kesenangan tidak menjamin kebahagiaan yg total. Masa mengandungkan Adam dulu, aku lalui dengan kesukaran. Bersendirian dirantau orang, menanggung morning sickness seorang diri dengan kesibukan mengejar dateline assignments. Teringat saat-saat membuat monthly check up di Wilfred Hall dengan menaiki bas kuning yg berpusing satu base. Makanan halal juga sukar diperolehi..kesudahannya hanya mampu menelan buah-buahan dan salad sayuran sahaja. Tanpa makanan yg lain yg berkhasiat. Pun begitu Adam membesar dengan baik semasa dalam kandungan. 21 jam flight dan transit hampir suku dunia aku lalui sendirian dengan bagasi-bagasi yg lebih besar dari aku tanpa sebarang masalah bleeding atau spotting.
Namun kandungan yg sudah tiada ini walaupun dijaga dengan penuh hati-hati, mendapat khasiat makanan yg pelbagai, mendapat sokongan dan perhatian dari daddy yg sangat excited untuk menerima orang baru meyakinkan aku bahawa kesenangan itu tidak bererti kebahagiaan sudah pasti.

Owh..saya serba salah..tak pergi; ini adalah order, jika saya pergi; adam terpaksa ditinggalkan. Serba salah dibuatnya saya sekali ni. Ni le bila hubby berkursus dan tiada disisi sedangkan saya masih bertugas untuk hadiri tahlil malam ni. Selalunya saya tak rasa ianya beban..ianya ibadah. Tapi hari ni hati saya sayu...Adam terpaksa saya ambil lambat.Bayangkan saya menghantar dia seawal 7 pagi dan selesai tahlil selalunya mencecah jam 10 malam. Owh..hati saya menangis kerana anak saya terpaksa saya tinggalkan bersama orang. Alangkah sedihnya hati saya...pengorbanan yang perlu dia lalui sekecil usia ini. Sabarlah sayang, mommy bertugas demi agama, bangsa dan negara kita.
This morning I went out quite early, hoping I'll arrive on time at the office (dah beberapa hari lambat, nanti gaji tak berkat though I made up by going back late) tapi stuck juga dibelakang lori yg membawa muatan berat (walaupun takde muatan i still call lori yg bawa cam siput berjalan ni muatan berat). Pagi ni pulanye my senior officer called up for a quick meeting.Nasib le aku dah sampai kat main gate masa dia call. Since sampai terus masuk her office, tak sempat le nk menjenguk my office lagi..then after the meeting, I went to my office and shuck!!(actually I used more explicit language but taknak la tulis kat sini..tak molek org baca dok?) semerbak bau durian memenuhi rongga hidung..hambek kau! Me and durian memang cannot be in one sentence (but aku did write in one sentence pun kan?) since forever. Jangan kata makan..baunya saja dah cukup memeningkan kepala dan meloyakan tekak. Oh..don't call me berlagak hidung minah salleh pula ye..even my minah salleh's friend sangat suka durian tau..I did try eat it once tapi hasilnya aku demam panas lebih seminggu. Tu baru try makan seulas...cuba sebiji!!
Just try to imagine the smell dalam pejabat yg ber air condition..dan bertutup. Though the staffs eat it in the adjoining office, baunya tetap masuk dlm my office. Disebabkan kepala aku pusing and satu keje pun sure tak dapat settle..aku melarikan diri ke library...aman tenteram tanpa pencemaran bau dan bunyi.

Last night I had a little conflict with Adam . Tak tau apa sebab utamanya. At first dia just merengek-rengek je sebab Bumblebee dia cari tak jumpa dlm kotak mainan. I had searched the house and inside both cars tapi masih takde. I thought he'll forget when I gave him another car tapi he kept on saying 'bulbee'. Usually Adam listen to reason..so I explained to him yg probably bulbee kat rumah nenek. We have to wait until daddy come back to go back to nenek. Tapi he kept on insisting nak balik umah nenek amek bulbee sampai menangis. Masa tu I was cooking and boiling soup for his dinner and my bf+lunch+dinner. Then when I nak suap dia his dinner, dia sream and menangis. Since he had only his milk, he has to eat. Petang tu pulak dia makan muffin sket je yg dia amek from my bag. Bila cakap nicely and pujuk pun tak jalan..I raised my voice sket.Lagi le dia menangis kuat. Then..I put him in the bedroom and close the door. Orang maybe cakap kejam kan but I tak mau tampar or cubit selagi boleh so bila dia duk dlm bilik yg gelap tu..at least he know I'm serious about it. Tak sampai pun 3 minit I heard he threw up. Adam bila menangis sngat-sangat memang akan threw up. Habis le lantai dapur dan bilik.. bile dah camtu I bawa dia ke bathroom and stripped him down. Masa tu I explained to him that I did that because I love him so much.I want him to eat so that he'll grow up just fine. Then baru le dia nak makan after I changed his pijamas.Tu pun nak duk atas riba sambil tgk tv and play with his car. Sometimes Adam sangat senang nak handle, when we explain something, dia boleh dengar and terima tapi ada masa sangat susah langsung tak boleh cakap apa. At 9 pm I bawa dia masuk tidur and fervently hoping dia tak dapat nightmare since he cried dari petang. I hugged him and he asked me to kiss his cheek, his nose, his forehead. Before he slept, I explained again why I scolded him and why I put him in the room. Bangun pagi tadi dah ceria semula tapi still asking for his Bumblebee..aduhai.

Adam finished his watermelon juice all by himself.his fave nowadays..after carrot milk.


Hari ni hubby dah start kursus for a month and half di Lumut. And selama itulah kami berdua ditinggalkan. I am used to it and become seasoned with it, unfortunately I couldn't say the same with Adam. For him, his daddy is his close buddy (I guess la from the signs he shows) whom he likes to play with (daddy is more fun and energetic while mommy is a bit 'lembik'), to tease, when seeking for comfort when he cries (usually cause mommy scold him for doing something he shouldn't). For him mommy is his second best (and I get used to this also). Bila daddy takde for a day pun dia dah sibuk mencari dan bertanya berkali-kali..apatah lagi untuk seminggu. Paling tak sanggup nanti dia akan termenung merenung jalan menunggu daddy pulang..dan bila matahari terbenam..Adam akan cakap. "Gelap..daddy mana?" Because he knows and he is used to the normality when daddy will come back from work before the sun set.




Just before I put him to sleep, he asked me again, "Mommy, daddy mana?" and I patiently told him that on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thirsday and Friday daddy will go to work and won't be coming home but daddy will come back on friday evening. He nodded his little head and terus tidur.I hope he understand it somehow and will not be too sad.

I went to RSAT (Rumah Sakit Angkatan Tentera) today with 2 intentions:
1.To endorse my MC from the private hospital, and
2. To complete my medical check up for my registration this Saturday.
But I only got my MC endorsed since the doctor was busy with a case and I took a pity on her as she was busy as a bee trying to cater to her patients. Then when she saw my pale complexion, she did a bp check and guess what..my bp is low and she directed me to go back and rest by giving me another 2 off days. Since I still have the medical form to fill in, I have to go to Seremban to get it done (sebabnya saya tak tahu klinik mana kat PD ni yg boleh buat x-ray).
I did all the tests and when it's time to see the doctor..I was informed that he (the doctor) can't release the form since there were red cell blood in my urine.Oh no! and I need the form before Saturday!!I did explained about my miscarriage and could be the reason behind the presence of red cell blood in my urine. But he wanted to be sure about it and I was asked to come again tomorrow. Cuti sakit pun tak dapat rehat...but apa nak buat..semuanya untuk kebaikan.Harap-harap la esok akan menjadi lebih baik dari hari ni.Amin..
Truly jejaka disebelah saya hanya dicintai selepas berkahwin(itupun setelah beberapa ketika tahun perkahwinan dan setelah pelbagai dugaan) tetapi dia lah yg berjaya memenangi hati saya dengan kesabarannya dan kasih sayangnya. Dahulu saya menutup hati saya dari melihat kelebihannya tapi apabila saya berfikir menggunakan akal dan kewarasan tanpa perasaan, he's the best person. Dia bukanlah lelaki yg maha sempurna tetapi menerima saya dengan seadanya saya tanpa mengharapkan lebih dari itu. Therefore I truly love this guy and mengharapkan agar perkahwinan ini dirahmati dengan kebahagiaan dan kasih sayang yang berpanjangan hingga ke akhir hayat. For my hubby, Happy Father's Day. Terima kasih kerana hadir dalam hidup saya dan Mohamad Adam Muqriz. We love you daddy!!

Current issue yg ada dalam fikiran sekarang ialah tentang potty training.Should or shouldn't I start Adam with it. Persoalannya bukan terletak pada anak but pada parents.I think again..siapa yg sebenarnya agak reluctant to start it? Haa..the answer will be ME. I'm afraid if he rejects it and then afraid of doing it. Jika diikutkan the sign untuk start training dah ada..like he refused to wear the diaper and wanted to wear only the short..and he did tell me when he pooed (cuma bila Adam beritahu means dia dah melepas dah kat dlm diapernye). I keep on posponing nak betul-betul train Adam..tapi dilemanya adakah saya ni terlalu lambat to start it?
Then I come across this article(http://www.babycenter.com.my/toddler/pottytraining/abc/) yg useful for me. Maybe dapat membantu kawan-kawan yg lain. But if you have a simpler methods..do share ok.

I'm suppose to put these pics dlm entry kenduri kahwin Puan Hazimah but malas nak edit..bagus tak? We are friends back from Secondary school lagi, though only together in the same class during Form 5, we are quite close with each other. Bercerita tentang kawan, walaupun I have agak ramai kawan tetapi hanya mempunyai bilangan yg amat kecil (I can finger count my close friends) kawan yg rapat. Maybe secara naturalnya I'm a bit difficult to understand and sometimes too unpredictable to have friends yg boleh memahami. Socially, I can mix well and blend well with the crowd but that's it. Even these two ladies (Azie and Sri) complained that sukar untuk memahami diri saya dan sesuatu yg saya lakukan. Apa yg orang tak faham pun saya kurang pasti. Certain people might say senang untuk meneka mood unpredictable saya tu..hanya memandang pada air muka saya saja cukup untuk mengetahui apa yg saya sedang alami..but that's not always the case. Hakikatnya saya sukar meluahkan rasa hati pada orang yg tidak rapat dengan saya. Saya adalah seorang pemendam..suka berfikir berkali-kali tentang sesuatu dari meluahkan kepada orang lain. Like these two ladies..saya rapat dengan mereka..but jarang sekali saya berkongsi masalah atau suka duka yg saya alami. Kenapa?? Saya tak suka menyusahkan orang lain dengan masalah saya. Selagi saya mampu..I will deal it alone. Maybe saya seorang egoist tetapi saya masih mengakui...sekiranya tak mampu, saya tetap memerlukan seseorang untuk membantu saya to face a certain problem. It's simpler to have many friend than to find a reliable best friend.

Hari ini I'm suppose to get back to work. But I have to see the doctor for a second scanning. Since hubby is working and there's no hope for him to get one more leave or half day, I have to go alone. Under normal circumstances, I don't mind doing it alone ( a doctor's visit I mean) and had done it alone when I was pregnant with Adam in USA. But I can't help to feel nervous today. I'm thinking about so many things and worrying at the same time. To make it worse, the are many people in the reception area when I arrived. I have to wait for about an hour to get to see the midwife, another one and half hour to see the doctor, thirty minutes to pay the bill and another twenty minute to get the m.c signed...and yes..a visit to the loo also cost me another 10 minutes. But I'm glad to see that my uterus is clean from the remaining tissues. Alhamdulillah..Yeay!!
The doctor advised me to avoid from being pregnant again in 2-3 months..in which we had a lenghty discussion about the emotional and physical effects. I have to admit, I'm a bit scared to get pregnant again that soon.I'm not ready emotionally and mentally. Maybe I'll wait for another 2-3 years to try again. I feel I'm not ready to risk it again..not only I worry about the pain to go through the 'cleaning' process but I'm worry about my emotion and readiness to face such challenges. Even then, kita hanya merancang but Allah s.w.t yang menentukan.

Dah lama rasanya tak update gambar Adam yg latest (ada hairstyle baru skang ni). Sempena 'confinement' ni sempat la nak ngadap komputer dan upload gambar from my camera. Tu pun kena juga panahan mata my mum yg tak kasi duk lama-lama. Kalau la dia tahu my plan to go out tonight mesti lagi bising nih (kena kasi tau last minute..bising minimum la). But I know..my mum nye intention sangat baik..hehehe. Adam's hobby memang boyish or manly la rasanya..menyepak bola. The beach ball tu dah lama beli..coz dulu dia takleh kick ball yg kecik tapi skang ni tahap Adam dah sampai sekecik-kecik ball dia bleh kick. Then his second fave of course la berlari. Dah jarang sangat I tengok dia berjalan.Even in a short distance pun dia akan berlari. Then all time fave mestilah posing for my camera..Tak kira le tengah main bola ke, tengah nangis ke, tengah berlari ke..posing tetap maintain.hehehe...Adam oh Adam.

I talked to Kak Ana and since she regularly read my blog, I would like to assure you that I'm fine and okay. Maybe I'm not my usual self yet for the time being and though I get a bit emotional here and there...I'm positive that I'm okay. Saya menerima hakikat yang Allah maha mengetahui so I put all my faith into whatever plan yang qada dan qada' ada in store for me. Sudah pasti hati mana yang tak terluka dengan kehilangan tapi mungkin saya dan hubby akan menerima yang lebih baik dari apa yang kami hilang. Apa lagi yang perlu kami usahakan jika our fetus died in the womb? Selama mana kami mahu menunggu atau apa juga usaha yg kami lakukan hakikatnya fetus itu sudah tidak mampu dipulihkan. I won't blame myself or anyone for this..which for sure. I won't ask myself over and over again why this happened? and why it happened to me? Apa gunanya to torture my self. Just pray for us to be given a strong heart and faith. Insyaallah ujian ini mampu kami hadapi.

When your family and the closest persons around you keep saying.."anything happen for a reason and Allah know what's the best for you"...you will for a time digest it and comprehend it but after sometime the real meaning tend to be lost with the grief. And here I am, grieving for the first time for my unborn baby. I know the work of fate..I know my belief therefore I'm not putting the blame to anyone, even to myself. I hope Allah will give me strength...for my life would never be the same..I just know.

Selamat sudah Encik Azhari anak jiran rumah parents ku bergelar suami orang. Still remember when we were kids (he is of course younger than I la kan), he's a skinny, dark skin kid who love to wear nothing but a short.hehehe..Sekarang?? Makin sihat nampaknye. Semoga jodoh Aie berkekalan hingga akhir hayat.
And also a goodbye aint easy...always!! Sungguh aku tak suka tapi apakan daya...takkan hubby nak AWOL pula? Semata-mata hanya kerana mahu menggembirakan hati aku untuk berada di rumah. Jadi lewat petang tadi selesai kenduri jiran sebelah, hubby pun berangkat pulang ke KL kerna dia bekerja esok harinya. Aku? masih lagi bersuka ria menghitung hari-hari cuti yang scarily tinggal seminggu je. So sick jika memikirkan sepanjang cuti paling jauh kami 'bercuti' was to Manjung dan Lumut menjenguk rumah. Selainnya..GIANT, TESCO, Taman Tasik. Selain dari itu, masa dihabiskan di rumah sahaja but cukup gembira dah for me. Of course, dengan keadaan aku sekarang ni lebih baik banyakkan rehat dari penat. Maybe juga kerana dari umur 13 tahun aku dah keluar rumah menimba ilmu, jadi holiday seem more suitableto be spent at home with family.
Where was I? Oh yes..the goodbye. Hubby also berangkat tanpa lambaian goodbye dari heronye. Memang sengaja aku tidurkan Adam sebelum hubby nak balik. Bukanlah aku ni terlalu cemburu tengok Adam tu dipeluk dicium dek daddy nye...tapi kes raungan Adam yg makin tinggi tahap octave nye sekarang. Tak sanggup aku nak dukung hero yang pasti menggelupur sewaktu ditinggalkan daddynye. Silap-silap aku sekali join sekaki menangis...huhuhu. Truly..a goodbye aint sweet and aint easy!!

Hasil lawatan berjumpa dentist di Manjung (Umah my parents kat Taiping but gi klinik kat Manjung tu kan) maka telah berhasil menyembuhkan my bleeding and swollen gums nih. Itu pun ambil masa selama 3 hari juga. Seksanya bila gusi bengkak kan? Baru la nak bersyukur dengan nikmat kesihatan yg Allah beri selama ni. Ni le kata manusia..yg mudah lupa dan lalai! Baru je sikit dugaan yg diberi..dah rasa berat.Apatah lagi kalau yang tak tertanggung badan? Huhuhu..janganlah sampai aku menjadi manusia yang lupa diri dan lupa ingatan.
Kisah gigi yang dibawa begitu jauh ke Manjung ni ada kena mengena dengan joint inspection rumah yang baru siap. Since dah sakit sangat maka aku terus le berjumpa mana-mana dentist yang available. Dr Fairuz was the dentist I saw that day.Selesa rasa di klinik tu. Ada play area untuk budak-budak and ada juga surau. The helpers aka receptionist pun ramah mesra..hilang tension orang yg sakit. Mula-mula start with scaling...a painful process tapi bila swollen gums ni baik..rasa bersyukur le. Disebabkan aku pregnant..dentist taknak kasi ubat tahan sakit ke apa ke..coz dia kata bersalin dulu lagi sakit kan?huhuhu.pulak!! but for my own sake juga and for baby's health.Takut makan ubat yg aku low tolerence..betul la tu kan. But bila keluar dari 'operation' room tuh..rasa nak buka mulut pun tak sampai hati..huhuhu..sakit la tu!! Tapi sebab gums pun dah sihat..oklah bersakit-sakit dahulu tu kan?
Alkisah joint inspection rumah pulak..aku dengan bingitnya complain la pasal entah sapa-sapa guna rumah aku dan tandas rumah tu untuk melepas then tak pandai flush!! Dipilihnya master bedroom pula tuh..angin angin. Sha (yg inspect bagi pihak penaju) pula kata kami tak kunci tingkap or mana-mana pintu walhal masa last kitaorang datang dulu habis semua double check berkunci or not. Aku taklah marah-marah dia...dah bukan salah dia pun kan. Tapi aku remind ikut bahasa yg agak tegas la. Rumah tu rumah kitaorang walaupun belum kitaorang diami lagi. Banyak juga le yg kami minta untuk touch up...yg mana yang crack..shower yg tak function..cat yang tak cantik...dah namanye bayor mahal kan?
Then 3rd trip pula ke kedai mencari grill. Since skang musim orang pakai wrought iron yang cantik berbunga tu maka kami pun tanyakan le...makaih harga...rasa nak pitam jugaklah.huhuhu. Walaupun bunga paling simple..tetap standard harga duit hantaran anak dara zaman sekarang. Puas aku ayat tokey kedai tu berhasil la dapat pattern yg cantik sket dengan harga yg agak murah (maknanya tak murah la tu) tapi masih lagi perlu kami consider...tengok kesihatan poket hubby dulu..hahaha..

What Can You Do About Bleeding or Sensitive Gums
Over the course of your pregnancy your body is going to experience a flood of hormone level changes, and this is going to affect you more than you may realize. One of the most common ways this may affect you during your pregnancy is bleeding or sensitive gums.
This is caused by higher than normal progesterone levels and the result is that your gums will react more than they would usually to the bacteria found in plaque. There is also an increase in your blood volume during your pregnancy and this may mean that you may experience bleeding gums when you brush or floss. While you are pregnant it is especially important to practice good oral hygiene as this will affect around half of the pregnant women around the world.


Can Gum Disease Affect Your Pregnancy?
Yes, it can - because of the increase of blood to your body and the increased hormone levels your body you can be more prone to gingivitis if you do not care for your teeth and gums correctly. This itself can then develop into periodontitis – which is a serious form of gum disease in which the infection goes beyond your gums into the bone and other tissue that support your teeth.
Quite simply this is a major concern for pregnant women. There are been some studies which have shown that women who suffer from either sever gingivitis or periodontitis are certainly more prone to
preeclampsia and even to premature labor.


Can You Prevent This From Happening?
As with most medical issues, the first step is prevention. The best way to prevent any gum or oral hygiene issues is to do the following:
Brush thoroughly but gently at least twice a day Floss daily Get regular dental care Eat a healthy diet


When Should You Call Your Dentist?
When you visit your dentist you should inform him/her that you are pregnant as x-rays may not be safe during pregnancy.
If you experience any tooth ache, bleeding or sensitive gums then you should definitely make an appointment to see your dentist. Treatment for any of the common oral hygine issues will definitely reduce the risk which is placed on both you and your baby that may be associated with either sever gingivitis or periodontitis.
Having local anesthesia, such as novocaine, for dental work is safe throughout pregnancy. And if antibiotics are needed, there are pregnancy-safe ones to choose from.



This is the latest worry. Since tak pernah aku experience perkara macam ni maka HARUS la aku membuat lawatan segera berjumpa dentist. I don't know why tapi jumpa dentist ni mampu buat aku rasa seram sejuk tau. Last trip was before I flew to USA dan habis semua gigi aku diservis masa tu and since aku ni malu-malu kucing nak jumpa dentist, memang aku jaga sangat-sangat kesihatan oral. Disebabkan gums aku yg bengkak dan merah and also bleeding boleh effect orang didalam ni maka aku korbankan jua la keberanian aku demi kesihatan sejagat.

2 hari ni sibuk dengan kenduri Puan Hazimah (member baikku yg baru dapat tittle baru) baru hari ni agak free sket aktiviti di rumah other than entertaining my Adam. Since I'm on a really precious holiday, I will try my best not to talk about work...hehehe..like it's too hard le sangat kan? Pagi-pagi tadi keluar beli roti canai kat simpang pekan CJ and hubby got texted by Abg Zahir. Wah..glamernye Abg Zahir terpampang di pull out Tech & U (NST). Tapi berbaloi le hasil usahanya sekian lama selain dari sokongan padu dari Kak Ana (his beloved wifey). Itulah ganjaran usaha yg tak mengenal putus asa.Well Done Abang! Hopefully business makin laju ya.
Then my other friend Sri sms-ed me asking for a night out. Oh..bukan lagi berpoya-poya seperti dulu (ala, dulu pun takat berpoya makan je pun) tapi version wives and hubbies night out. Since Adam memang lebih rela melepak di rumah (bagus la kan..jangan diajar melepak di kedai dari awal) dengan aunties nye..maka aku memanglah tiada halangan. Amat jarang kawan-kawan sedari sekolah ni dapat berkumpul and hang out together..maklum, each with each's commitments.
Meanwhile, nak minta ayah turunkan buah kelapa muda..hehehe..habis la kelapa-kelapa muda di rumah ni bila aku balik bercuti.
