Tiny human, big changes: stepping into motherhood

This is a reflection on my journey into motherhood—from preparation and birth to the fulfilment I feel today. The very first step for us was hunting for the “right” gynaecologist. Choosing the right gynae from the very beginning is so important. My heartfelt thanks to my gynae, Dr. Lakshmi, and Gleneagles Hospital Penang for their warm hospitality. Monthly check-ups have been such pleasant experiences because of their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care.
Then, we took the initiative to learn and equip with parenting knowledge. At the end of September, we spent our weekends joining Sunway Medical Centre's free antenatal classes at The Light Hotel, two days of 8am to 1pm sessions, breakfast included. We picked up so much from the mix of theory and practical lessons.
