I am so glad to let you know that Alhamdulillah I am pregnant and hope to meet my newborn in June Insha-Allah. Alhamdulillah Allah (SWT) has blessed us with 1 children. Our son is 8 month years old. I am in my 13th weeks of pregnancy. Masa scan da baby sangat active. Alhamdullilah.
Sometimes I do feel a bit scared thinking about the labour pains! But I have decided not to think too much and stress myself . I am always asking Allah (SWT) to make it easy and quick for me and bless us with a healthy and good Muslim baby.
Firstly there's this week-versus-month issue.
You know how they count the weeks in pregnancy? i find that this week-counting is a bit confusing. Roughly, pregnancy lasts 40 weeks. Generally, a month equals to 4 weeks. By right pregnancy lasts 10 months, right? But no, the way people are counting it, pregnancy lasts 9 months.
This is how they classify and label the weeks and months of pregnancy:
First Trimester
1st Month : Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4
2nd Month : Weeks 5, 6, 7, 8
3rd Month : Weeks 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
Second Trimester
4th Month : Weeks 14, 15, 16, 17
5th Month : Weeks 18, 19, 20, 21
6th Month : Weeks 22, 23, 24, 25, 26
Third Trimester
7th Month : Weeks 27, 28, 29, 30
8th Month : Weeks 31, 32, 33, 34, 35
9th Month : Weeks 36, 37, 38, 39, 40
So according to this chart, i'm already 3 months pregnant. Yeay... Doakan Kami bdua!
