Recap 9 - End of 10weeks

Beginning of 9 weeks.

On 27 April we went to see the gynae and Alhamdulillah, it was there! Hihihihhihi. Moving actively and NO transvaginal scan YAY!

End of 10weeks.
Believe or not, my sickness is still here!!! OMG. My last day of 10weeks is on the 10th of May and this is the first day that I've been feeling much better. My fatigue lessened alot, as well as the nausea and vomitings. The past few weeks had been horrible.

The discomfort that I've felt lately is the stomach tightening, something like Braxton Hicks. It is so uncomfortable but so far there is no spotting or bleeding. I only feel it if I'm feeling tired, stand too long or walk too fast, or under stress.

I couldn't say this is easier than the first one. Let's just say that I accept the pregnancy consequences this time so I try my best to go with it.

End of Week 12

Yaayyy... I've passed my first trimester!! Everything's fine so far. Appetite coming back slowly. I still vomit every now and then if I eat something curry or spicy or eat too much. Tomorrow is my next check up.

I really don't know what is the difference with the first one. I got the pregnancy fatigue, I got the nausea, vomiting, same as the first one. The first one was nastier, this one is longer but not as nasty. Maybe the headache part is slightly better this time round?

My food preference is a bit different though. Last time I loved Indian food. Now I eat curry I throw up afterwards. I prefer more on the Japanese food. I'm still prone to gassy food though so I try to avoid those. Snack wise, I survive better on the whole grain heavy once in a while snack. Rather than small biscuits eat often snack.

I don't know how it will progress but I'll try my best to adapt. My tummy is bulging. I look fat! Oh well..
I'll update on the check up tomorrow :D

The Check up
 
Actually my 12 wks ended last Wednesday on the 16th of May. On the 18th I went for my down syndrome check up and all the first trimester tests. The queue was daaaaaaaaaaaamn long! I waited 1.5hours just to do a scan. Definitely all dragon babies hopeful parents. So far all is well, from the scan the NT (neck thickness) is low (less than 25mm) and nose bone is visible (and it looks like a good looking nose too). To ensure need to check from blood test as well.

As for myself at the end of my 12 weeks I felt better. But coming in to week 13 the headaches attack! Oh and the fatigue as well. My food intake is also still limited but nausea has gone away. Once in a while still showing up at 5pm or 6pm. Night time my intake is the minimum. I don't eat much at all.
