Pregnancy
In this journal, I have chosen my friend’s mother, Mrs Weng to be interviewed as she could still recall her process of pregnancy to parenthood.
After Mrs Weng found out that she was pregnant, she was very happy as they finally have a baby of their own.

This also means that every part of the foetus is form and the foetus is waiting to come to the new world.
