Terrible Week

Since Saturday (20 June), it had been a terrible time for me. Although I already knew that it is common for a pregnant lady to have vomiting urge, but I have never imagined it to be so tough. On an average, it has always been at least one vomiting incident for me everyday. 

Starts the day feeling hungry, will then attempt to eat some bread. After that, will eat my folic acid pill. Then the vomiting urge will start. Will try to control the urge by putting some peppermint balm on the nose or eating sour plum. I do not want to waste the effect of folic acid if I puke it out.  

Then comes lunch. Will attempt to have some porridge or fried beehoon as staple food. After some time, the vomitting urge will be here again. This time round, I will definitely puke something out. After puking, I will feel hungry again. However, there is just no appetite to eat anymore. 

Dinner is the worst. Have the feeling of hunger, but no appetite to eat. Will try to force myself to take in some stuff. After that, the urge to puke is here again. 

This cycle will repeats daily. I really wonder to myself how much I can take. Already feeling very helpless as I have no mood to do anything. The house is in a mess and my work is piling up. When can I pick myself up?

Nevertheless, I am lucky that I am having school holidays during this period of time. However, when the school starts in a few days time, how am I going to cope? Feeling so frustrated. 

First Gynae Checkup

Finally made myself sat down and blog about this. Been feeling very bad recently. Feeling of nausea, lost of appetite and frequent fatigue is making me very terrible. Hopefully things will get better soon.

Anyway, after being to the gynae for the first checkup, I managed to get a glimpse of baby and hear his/her faint heartbeat for the first time. Was slightly emotional but managed to control myself. The feeling of seeing another life growing inside me is really fascinating. Everything that I do, eat, drink will make me think of the baby. Not sure whether I am treating him/her well. As in since the baby is directly linked to me, would he/she be affected if I eat too spicy food? Or would he/she feels uncomfortable if I never eat well or was hungry? Many thoughts going through my mind constantly and sometimes, I do feel stress thinking about it. I think I should start reading about this so as to better prepare myself for everything.

Anyway, first photo of my baby taken by the gynae during the first checkup. Still only a tiny dot on the picture. 

Anxious to see him/her grow bigger. Grow well my little one. See you again in 2 weeks time!

A new beginning

Today is the start of a new beginning.

On usual days, missing my mensuration period is nothing new to me. However, a week ago, when I missed my mensuration period, I was secretly hoping that it was going to be good news. I told myself to push this thought aside first as I do not want to put my hopes too high.

After 10 days of missing my mensuration start date, finally, I got into action and bought 3 pregnancy test kits. (I totally kept this as a secret as I wanted to surprise my husband.)

Today when I woke up, I used one of the pregnancy kit with butterflies in my stomach. The result is shown as below!!

After seeing the result, I was super excited and cannot wait to tell the good news to my husband. However, I wanted to try another test again in the afternoon first before saying anything.

Again, the result also showed POSITIVE!! Can you imagine how excited I was at that time?

Nevertheless, I went on with the rest of my day. Finally after dinner, I revealed the news to my husband. He was super elated as well.  After talking about it, many questions started to surface. Which gynae should I go to? When should I visit the gynae? Is it too soon to go to the gynae now? When should I tell our parents? Where will the baby room be? What do we put inside the baby room? What will happen to those things that are currently in the baby room? blah blah blah......

All kind of questions were in our mind. However, we felt that it is still too soon to think about anything yet. As such, we decided to talk about this again a few weeks later.

The first and only thing that we decided on is - 'Lets confirm it with a doctor first!'
