Coffee is Fine for Preggy!

Yesss!!! Heaven once again..Weee!!!


Pregnant women need no longer give up their morning cup of coffee. A research review by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has found that moderate caffeine consumption probably won't increase the risk of a miscarriage or premature birth. 
Until recently, studies have had conflicting findings about the effect of moderate caffeine consumption on pregnancy complications but a college committee has reviewed the evidence.
"I think it's time to comfortably say that it's OK to have a cup of coffee during pregnancy," Dr. William Barth, the chair of the College committee, told Reuters Health.
The College's Committee on Obstetric Practice said that 200 milligrams of caffeine a day -- about the amount in a 12-ounce cup of coffee -- doesn't significantly contribute to miscarriages or premature births.
That definition of "moderate caffeine consumption" would also include drinking about four eight-ounce cups of tea or more than five 12-ounce cans of soda a day, or eating six or seven dark chocolate bars.
The committee said the evidence was not clear on whether consuming more than 200 mg of caffeine a day might increase pregnancy risks.
The group considered two recent studies, each of which followed more than 1,000 pregnant women.One study, led by Dr. David Savitz of The Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, found no increased rate of miscarriage for women who consumed low, moderate, or high levels of caffeine at different points in their pregnancy.  In the other, Dr. De-Kun Li and his colleagues at Kaiser Permanente's Division of Research in Oakland found a higher risk of miscarriage in women who consumed more than 200 mg of caffeine per day, but no extra risk at lower levels.
The committee also pointed to two other studies that found that a mother's moderate caffeine intake did not make it any more likely she would deliver a baby prematurely.
Research has shown that caffeine is able to cross the placenta, which led to worries that it could cause miscarriage or premature birth.  In the United States, about 16 per cent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage and about 12 per cent of babies are born prematurely. 


Now that I can continue my routine without causing any harm to my baby :))

Junior at 5 weeks :)

Alhamdulillah, just got back from our vacation. Blame me for snorkeling & hiking, now that I got myself bleeding. Yupe, bleeding just when I got back from Samui. I guess junior can't take it all. Sorry baby, I was worried to death that I rushed to see the gynae that very night.  Alhamdulillah, my baby is still here with me. Doctor advise me to be on bed, fully and gave me 2 days MC..yayyy!!! Back from honeymoon, then tak pegi class, tak pegi kerja. Heaven on earth :D

So we had a scan, and there you are. At this stage, baru nampak segumpal darah.



Base on the size of the lump, the doctor estimated junior is now 6 weeks and a day, however he said this is only a prediction that it would absolutely be inaccurate. That make sense since we've only been married for 5 weeks and 3 days. Doctor advises to do another scan in a month time, then the estimation should be more accurate since masa tu baby's figure should already be visible.  Oleh itu, I did my calculation and paling paling pun, junior should be at 5 weeks by now. Suka, suka..

Take care baby, I will take care of you, sincerly.

Walimah Urus -> 06.06.2010

Salam, lovelies! So sorry for keeping you waiting. Ramai juga yang email, comment, and also message thru fb request for more updates. Hehe..tetibe rasa begitu kejam biar uols ternanti2..

As promised, Walimatul Urus Zilah & Azwan yang dijadualkan berlangsung juga pada hari yang dijanjikan seperti yang tertera pada kartu undangan. Walah ayat!!


After nikah malam sabtu tu, i dah knocked out and tak tahu apa yang berlaku lepas tu. Kisah yang dsampaikan, Abah & Adik pengantin gi pacak signage around 1am, then angkut goodie bags to dewan around 3 am bersama relatives yang berhati mulia yang lain. Masa tu nampak dah team Dina Halim gigih pasang pelamin since 12 am camtu lagi. Kagum mak noks..

Sunday morning, I woke up, took a bath and realize inai makin fade off. Turun bilik to make sure everything goes well with the flow tapi dah tak tahu nak tengok apa. Semua yang nak diangkut ke dewan dah pun di angkut. At 9am, Abah dah ada kat hall tak sure apa dia buat kat situ. Dengarnye masih angkut goodie bags, then tengok caterer set up banquet, buffet setting, high table, kek pulut kuniing, also nampak team Dina Halim siap2 set up pelamin & walking aisle. See, berapa jam they ols set up? Kagum giler u...
 Pelamin by Dina Halim


 Meja santapan pengantin & kek pulut kuning, also banquet & buffet set by caterer, Yeob Catering


At 10.30 am, Abg Wan called to ensure direction to my house. Tak sampai 10 minit pun, Wan & Sue dah sampai kat rumah. Masa tu I belum pakai contact lense lagi..hahaha...Ok, naik bilik then terus makeup.

Alhamdulillah, my vendors semuanya sampai right on time. Awal lagi pun ada. Alhamdulillah, tak ada yang sesat tak jumpa jalan juga. Maklumlah rumah i kan kampung terceruk di pendalaman je. Jalan berliku2 nak kena berakit2 ke hulu.  Ikram & his team, also Wanline my videographer sangat pro. Mereka tak pernah lambat pun.

OMG masa ni agak risau juga, untuk hands on trustworthy kepada kendarat untuk letak welcoming pic and also centerpieces. Harap sangatlah mereka faham sangat apa yang diamanahkan. Alhamdulillah, semuanya went smoothly as planned. Syukur sangat!
Floor manager @ my cuzzie & also my aunty pose with the welcoming pic :)



 The centerpiece for each table


At 12.45 noon, both me & the groom siap dimekapkan oleh Sue. Then at 1.15pm I moved to the hall because I need to be there before the groom. Kami nak buat toll bagai. Konon2 pengantin pompuan tunggu husband dia datang la. At 1.30pm rombongan pengantin lelaki pun sampai.
Ketibaan pengantin lelaki & rombongan


Waiting for the groom, escort by 2 hulubalang with bunga manggar. Muka ketat lagi dik!


Yaaa!! Bayar tol dulu baru boleh masuk. Tak cukup tu! Kena up lagi bang..


Mini pengantin, Flower girls, & Bridesmaids menunggu arahan untuk berarak masuk.


Ketibaan pengantin..Jeng!!


Duduk bersanding pengantin baru..lalalalala..


Followed by tepung tawar & merenjis


Then turun untuk makan!


Makan nasik 2 suap je then potong pulut kuning pulak..


Pengantin yang kaki propa haruss bagi ucaptama.


Kepada yang tertanya2 lepas tu nak buat apa? As for me, lepas tu I turun usher rombongan lelaki nak berangkat balik. Salam2, cakap thank you, dan sebagainya. Then greet guests from table to table. Lepas tue? Bermulalah aksi gedix posing2 with hubby atas pelamin mengikut arahan tuan director Abe Ikram :)
