First Trimester
Still coming to terms on my pregnancy, all the morning sickness kicked in big-time. I was nausea at work, lethargic, sleepy to the extend i took afternn naps for 20mins during lunch, vomit morning/afternn/evening violently, loss of appetite, tired and sleep at 9pm everyday. I hated this period as i felt weak and cant do much.PWJ has been super nice, ferrying me up and down to/frm work and accommodating me as much as he can. It was weird that i looked forward to the monthly gynae visits so I can hear from Dr Yvonne Chan that whatever i was experiencing is normal for every pregnant mother and will pass from the 4th month on. It was always a thrill to do the ultrasound with PWJ around and we share the moment of relishing that baby has grown from 10mm to 5 cm to 10 cm and hear the heartbeat, see the swishing movements that the baby is making.
I lost weight by the 3rd month and look haggard,tired and none of the "pregnant mother glow". and slowly i cant wear most of my fitted working and casual clothes as my waist starts expanding...
As sweet as usual, PWJ bought books on What to Expect when You are Expecting and it proves to be an enjoyable and educational read on preparing for pregnancy and how the body changes. its a science and art at the same time. One good online resource is babycentre.com where there's week by week progress.
As sudden as all my symptoms, i turned needy and wanted PWJ to be with me all the time and poor him gotta cope with his new study term (for the next 3 yrs) and work (in Jurong), ferry me from work (Shenton Way) back home (Srgn Gardens).
