This post is on the journey of my pregnancy dated way back in March 2007. Thanks to the fact that I love to take photographs of everything, I am able to pick out photos of myself and see my drastic transformation. It also serve as a motivation for me to get back to my pre-pregnancy figure. A reminder that I was slim before!!
Actually I should post this after delivery but was afraid that I would be too overwhelmed by everything and got no time to blog. I will be serving a one month "Jail Term" after baby pops so, since now I am still waiting and got nothing better to do I might as well do a summary now.
Photographs of me during different stages of pregnancy:

I was already 2 weeks pregnant, but didn't find out yet. Still remembered I was dressing up to go Devils bar for their last night of operation. Oh my god... I had lots of drinks that night too.

Went Pasir Gudang race track with hubby when I was already 4 weeks pregnant. Was the co-driver then and experienced fainting spells and urge to vomit after gotten out of the race. Didn't know I was pregnant then, thought the discomfort was due to the race and bumpy ride in the car.

36 weeks pregnant, notice I could still wear this top which I wore during my 12 weeks pregnancy? All in all I only bought 4 maternity dresses, most of the time I wore yoga pants, and big tees at home.
December 2007
Just did a scan on the 38 weeks of pregnancy, baby already weighs 3kg and she is ready to come out any moment! I am waiting....
I missed my beautiful dresses, missed my high heels and missed my figure!!!
I put on a total of 16 kg throughout my pregnancy. Surprisingly I do not have any special cravings for certain kind of food, instead Jeff had all the cravings! I wasn't the only one putting on weigh, he too had added on extra pounds during these 10 months. I jokingly told baby that she is going to see a fat mummy and a fat daddy when she pops.

Aiyo...not much difference la. You are those slim type so sure can go back to olden days ya.
My genes are fat & short lo, double afraid then u.
You still mei mei la, you really dress well even though u are pregnant lor
You don't know one le, this kind of thing difficult to say. Now I have thunder thighs and lightning calf and big love handle oh oh and wide butt. These are so difficult to shag off areas. You don't worry now, still young!
i wonder if those malay massages will help. But u really look so slim during the first few months! It's only towards the ending part then you start to gain some weight!
Left 12 days to go..
I m feeling excited for u...
u going for natural, or C-section babe???
I am trying for natural birth, wish me luck!
Hey Noelle,
heard dat if natural birth try not to use the ephidural (dunno if it's correct spelling?? :p) coz it might lead to some not so good things abt bb's health in the future.
as for you figures 9mths back, get ur hubby to sponsor u to those slimming centres after birth lah heee...
anyway kudos *salute* to u the greatest mummy to be ya :D all the best ya :))
Dun worry a thing sweetie,
you still look great! All the best!
good luck!!
i just give birth to a baby girl last month, natural w/o epidural...
all i can... PAIN~~
HAHA...
but once u see ur girl, u will forget abt the pain... ;)
Wah without epidural! You have a great endurance on Pain. My threshold is not big, so I definitely will need epidural to assist on my delivery.
haha.. cos at first the pain was bearable, so i tot i can TAHAN. but an hr before my baby is out, i really wanna give up.
=p
for my 1st child, i had epidural.. so not much pain.
