It's finally the end of the first trimester! Baby's been growing well and steady and we thank God for that :)
Strangely though all the early pregnancy symptoms are starting to come back :( makes me wonder if I have to go through the same thing at the start of every new trimester...in fact I feel worse these days than in my first 12 weeks...appetite's been getting poorer too :( feels like my stomach just decided to go on strike and refuse to digest any food that I take in...last thursday was the worst...after a sandwich at breakfast around 10+am, I didn't eat anything else for the rest of the day. felt so indigested and constipated the whole day...
The feeling swings from indigestion pains to hunger pains...and when I eat a morsel...it swings back to indigestion again...absolutely NOT enjoying the feeling! Have been rather picky about my food too...been craving lots of fruits!! seems like they are the only things that I truly enjoy lately...else, I'll go for plain food..like plain rice without any side dishes, plain bee hoon...anything that doesn't have a taste. Somedays I just feel like going on a glucose drip so I don't have to eat! Other days I get hungry and try to eat something....and snack...and the indigested feeling come right back..
Today, I bought Saltine crackers (seems like this is what most preg women eat to feel better...) and multigrain bread...am attempting to live on a high fibre diet to make sure I move my bowels regularly and get rid of the constipated feeling in my stomach!
On a happy note, I'm glad to catch Heroes on Channel 5 in the afternoons lately :) And we're going on a cruise to Phuket and Langkawi in early May to celebrate our 2nd wedding anni! our last couple trip before the little one arrives....
