What a milestone! I made it through the first 3 months and today marks the beginning of my 2nd trimester! I feel absolutely fantastic and I hope baby does too.
Today has been a wonderful day! I remember in the middle of my first trimester I was craving all these summer fruits that were impossible to find in any grocery store here. All these exotic tropical fruits. Well, it's December, snowing like crazy outside and as I walk in the supermarket I see all the fruits I have been craving for weeks all on the same row. It was so incredibly pleasant to see! I got my green hard mangoes, litchis, sour starfruits, juicy watermelon, and promegrenate. I never felt so glad in my life. Carrying heavy loads of fruits over the snowy hilltops was definitely worth it today. Walking up a hill with a big fat watermelon felt like running a mile afterwards though. I was breathless!
I went to see my midwife today and she gave me these 2 important papers that I'm suppose to take the day of the delivery. I finally found out my blood group (A+) and she said all the test results came out normal. I got my time to do the ultrasound. That would be one month from now. Can't wait! I also found out that my midwife is pregnant! I'm only 3 months and she's like 5 and a half. Pretty cool. Her bump sure shows it.
How am I feeling?
Much better than 3 weeks ago. I have gradually progressed and I finally gained about 1.5kg last week. So I'm catching up. I think my frequent intake of fruits and nuts are really helping me recover faster. I have more energy now.
The part that sucks is even though I eat a lot of fruits with fiber I hardly go to the bathroom except for peeing. No wonder my tummy is the size of a freakin melon. It better not be smashing my baby.
Foods I eat..
Let's hope that hyperemesis nightmare doesnt come get me again. While I was going through so much vomiting the only thing I was able to take in was yogurt and potatoes. Now the list has improved.
I get my day's portion of protein (eggs, salmon, chicken breast, dried nuts), Fruits n vegetables (I eat a lot of fruits, and mostly greens n carrots for vegies), whole grains and starches , dairy (milk, cheese and low fat yogurt). I eat every 1.5hours to avoid sickness and i never drink liquid and solids together. I still have to get into a good habit of drinking more water.
How's baby?
How's my baby? I'm asking myself the same thing. I really don't know. I read all these weekly pregnancy sites and thats about as much information I can get. I know that it can hear now....and eat (through some amniotic sac). All I know is it's the size of an orange and it feels like it. My waist is much thicker. I have a slight bump and I bloat like crazy so if you combine my bloaty tummy with the little bump I actually look 4 whole months preggo! Thanks to gas.
