Delivery Day

This is a continuation post from ‘My Pregnancy Journey’.

At the next appointment, there were still no signs of any contractions or baby wanting to come out. I was already 40 weeks and 3 days overdue. Doctor suggested I’d get induced that same day. Having already the talk of induction from the appointment prior, Jon and I agreed we would follow the doctors instructions so our bags were already packed in the car in case.

My Pregnancy Journey

Hello! It’s been so so long since I came on here. Life has just been so busy with the little one. I’ve been meaning to document a little bit of my pregnancy journey though – as a supportive reference for my soon-to-be-preggie friends and even to compare one day if we do have another baby.

How I find out I was pregnant?

So I felt a few symptoms before I actually decided to take a pregnancy test:
– feeling SO tired (I fell asleep during work which never happens)
– dizzy feeling whenever getting up or doing anything fast
– lost of appetite (this is CRAZY odd!)
– sore breasts
– late period

In the past I’ve had late periods before so it was not a big indicator for me. I had told Jon about the symptoms but had said we would wait another week before I take a test. On April 18th, I took the test and when it came out positive I was pretty shocked (but happy). We had been trying for a while and every time I’d take a test it would come out negative so this was the first time seeing the 2 lines (positive indicator). So apparently at this time I was already 7 weeks pregnant 🙂

Staycation at Grand Hyatt Corniche Abu Dhabi

It’s been so long since we ventured out on a staycation in Abu Dhabi. Since the pandemic started, I was on a full lockdown mode for a good three months. Now that the hotels and restaurants have opened up we booked ourselves a well-deserved treat away from home. Going outside once in a while to places I’m comfortable with has also eased my mind and reduced my stress.

Since tourism has not picked up yet, there are loads of deals on hotel staycations this summer in Abu Dhabi! Many of them offering half or even full-board during the stay. We opted for dinner and breakfast to be included in our room.
