Fetal development - 24 weeks pregnant

Your fetus weighs more than 600 grams. Though she still has little body fat and her skin is thin and fragile, she's now well-proportioned. Her brain is growing rapidly, and she is starting to fill the space in your uterus. From crown to heel she could measure 30 centimetres. If you went into labour at this time, however, many obstetricians and midwives would make every effort to halt the progress of premature labour to enable your baby to continue maturing.


You may be noticing faint, red or brown streaks known as striae or stretch marks on your abdomen, hips and breasts. While creams won't erase them, wearing a supportive bra may help prevent or minimise them on your breasts. They are very common at this stage of the pregnancy -- about 90 per cent of women get them. After you've given birth, the reddish or brown pigmentation in the stretch marks gradually fades, and the streaks become lighter than the surrounding skin.

Also, your eyes may be light-sensitive and may feel gritty and dry. This is a perfectly normal pregnancy symptom known as 'dry-eye'. To ease your discomfort, use an "artificial tears" solution to add moisture.

It's a boy or girl !?!

Alhamdulillah after 6mnths pregnancy, my laling had his opportunity to accompany me for monthly check up,.. usually my laling just drop me at the clinic n straight away attend his class, after he finished then he will fetch me at the clinic, n i hv to wait him at the pharmacist as i finished the check up early,..

Yesterday i decided to wait for him after his class n went check up together,.. heheheh but we need to rush as the last registration would be at 1130am,,.. luckily we made it at 1115am! fuh~

For the first time also he saw the baby, live thru the monitor! =) i am extremely happy to feel the moment we saw the baby's gender,.. but i need to be patient also as i need to double confirm on the nxt check up which will be nxt week!,.. but insyaAllah it's confirm,... after done with the check up i need to do the blood test which i should do last month,.. heeeeeee the result will be out in several days directly to my clinic,.. and if there's something with the result the doctor will notify me early thru phone before my appoinment,. hopefully the hB is OK! normal~

May Allah Bless~

Baby Moves n Dancing~

Heeeeeeeeeee for the first time my laling can feel the moves n dance of the baby!

Actually the baby has been moving for last 1 month but only me can feel it,.. yelah bile sy letak tangan my laling utk rase the move, baby x mo bg papa die rase pulak,.... hmmmm but this morning as early as 6.00am my laling put his palm and the baby gives a move,.. hehehe then my laling usap2 the place where the baby gave a move! heeeeeeeeee soooo happy as the baby great papa early in the morning! alhamdulillah,..

Pg tadi seperti biase slepas ciuman n doa from papa to ibu n baby, " Baby bangun awal ye pg td~" my laling said to the baby as i said to him it was his 1st time to feel the moves... The moment which touched me as well,.. i always pray "rabbi habli minassolihin" ... May Allah Bless...

ouh lupe nk update, mlm td juge my laling wat air soya sndr, n pg td he offered me the soya,.. tp me sempat minum sket je coz da full dgn susu ANMUM,.. then he said "Lepas nih nk wat soya tuk baby pulak,.. nk bg baby minum susu soya!" yup i agreed, susu soya yg buat sendiri lebih berkhasiat sbb xde preservative,.. my laling sgt xsuke klu me p beli air soya yg kotak tuh, tp klu soya yg kt pasa malam tuh x pe, sbb klu soya wat sndr nih x thn lame sgt,.. meaning xde preservative,.. Thanx laling kerana sggup berusaha menghasilkan susu soya tuk syg n baby mlm td...( heeeeeee mlm td me tdo awal, my laling tdo lewat jam 12tghmlm sbb nk wat soya tuh ...)

Pesanan utk semua

Nak kongsi dgn rakan2 antara isi inbox email yg dihantar oleh kawan ku ..

Pesanan Ustzh Siti Nur Bahyah mengenai 8P dlm perkahwinan n kehidupan suami isteri:

1) P yang pertama ialah 'puji' iaitu setiap pasangan perlu saling memuji antara satu sama lain dalam semua aspek kehidupan seperti masakan atau ucapan terim! a kasih apabila diberi pertolongan.

2) Katanya, P kedua ialah 'peluk' yang mana pasangan suami isteri hendaklah selalu peluk memeluk antara satu sama lain sekerap mungkin pada setiap hari kerana pelukan itu adalah belaian penuh kasih sayang.

3) P seterusnya ialah 'penghargaan' di mana amalan memberi hadiah boleh menambah kasih sayang.

4) 'Perhatian' adalah P keempat yang mesti diambil berat kerana kekurangan perhatian boleh mengakibatkan pasangan terasa diabaikan, katanya yang menulis buku Cakar Harimau - Tips Kebahagiaan Rumah Tangga, Amalan Ibu Mengandung dan Panduan Mencerdaskan Minda.

5) Siti Nur Bahyah berkata, P seterusnya mewakili 'persefahaman'

6) Menurutnya, P selanjutnya membawa maksud 'pergaulan' iaitu pasangan suami isteri mesti menjaga pergaulan masing-masing dengan orang lain bagi mengelakkannya daripada melampaui batas, menimbulkan cemburu seterusnya membawa kepada pembabitan orang ketiga.

7) Beliau berkata, satu lagi P adalah 'percutian' di mana kita perlu merancang percutian berdua-duaan dengan pasangan di tempat yang jauh daripada kesibukan dan kehidupan rutin.

8) Katanya, P yang terakhir ialah 'permohonan' iaitu doa kepada Allah supaya merapatkan kasih sayang antara pasangan suami isteri serta dijauhi daripada godaan kemewahan dan keseronokan dunia.

Siti Nur Bahyah juga menurunkan beberapa amalan doa selepas solat yang boleh merapatkan hubungan dan menimbulkan kasih sayang antara suami isteri iaitu membaca surah Al-Imran ayat ke-31 atau membacakan ayat ke-200 surah sama bagi mengurangkan panas baran suami .
Beliau berkata, kunci kebahagiaan rumah tangga yang sebenar ialah mendekatkan diri dengan Allah.
Katanya, apabila seseorang insan mengabaikan tanggung jawab terhadap agama, dia akan mengabaikan rumah tangga kerana jiwa yang kosong.

"Ketika kita jauh daripada Allah, iblis yang suka umat manusia bercerai-berai akan menghampiri dan melalaikan kita daripada tanggung jawab terhadap keluarga," katanya
