- I don't go out that much anymore. At most I go out once a week or twice a week if i had to go to the doctor.
- I'm not allowed to go up and down the stairs. So most the days, my world evolves around our bedroom and computer room. I take my meals in our room and spends around 30 minutes in front of the computer. Can't really stand staying long in front of the computer because I get so dizzy.
- I used to love fried chicken but now I hate it to death. Just thinking about fried chicken makes me want to puke.
- Our toilet bowl has been my best companion since week 5 of my pregnancy. We are together at least 5 times a day.
- I started my cravings with crabs then watermelon then ripe mangoes then ice cream then sweet and sour soup then boiled peanuts and so on and so forth. I pity my husband because he is going crazy figuring out what I want to eat. I maybe craving for something right this instant but a few hours later or the next day I don't want that food anymore. Not that I eat a lot, I only eat small portions otherwise i'll end up vomiting.
- I tend to get really sleepy after eating but I can't really lie down because for sure when I wake up I'll just vomit. So at times I have to wait at leas an hour or two after eating before I take a nap. But if at times I can't really help it, i just lie down and take my nap then prepare myself to suffer the consequences.
- I don't have the energy to fix myself despite the fact that I only go out once a week. I am just too lazy which so unlike me. I haven't had a haircut for 2 months.
- Can't eat raw food and vegetables. The vegetables I was surprised but as advised by my ob, we really can't be sure with all the pesticides being used right now so its better to have it cooked. So, no salads for me :(
Being pregnant is no joke but for someone who has waited for such a long time to get pregnant, I don't mind going through all these things at all.

enjoy the journey!
thanks babyjourney :)
wow, you'll be giving birth pretty soon. have a safe delivery.
Congrats to you Milkway. I saw your blog when i was researching about immunology fertitlity work up. My husband and I have been trying for over 5 years now. It is indeed a long journey towards pregnancy. I don't even know if I will get there. I'm 37 y.o. and just had 3 failed IUI's. Our OB, who's an infertility specialist and also an endocrinologist, recommended that I do blood tests to check for any immunology disorder. Now my husband and our family wants us to change our OB. I'm not really sure if I want to do this, I kinda like my OB now But nevertheless, I am curious about your new OB. You succeeded in your first IUI with him. I wonder if you could share with me his name and where his clinic is.
Hi felice08, the ob who did my IUI was Dr. Leonardo Almeda from Cardinal Santos. He is actually very nice and approachable.
If you were to ask me, my homeopathy treatment also played a major role in making my IUI successful. So it was really a combination of homeopathy and Dr. Alemeda :)
Thanks Milky_Way for your reply. Where did you have your homeopathy treatment? I am looking into acupuncture as this was recommended by my former OB. Reading about homeopathy in your blog caught my interest to check out this kind of treatment.
felice08, had my homeopathy treatment here in Manila. Actually my homeopathy doctor is also an ob although she does not do artificial insemination thus the need for us to go to Dr. Almeda for IUI.
I encourage you to read some more about homeopathy and try to see if you and your husband are willing to try it. Although it really requires change in lifestyle, commitment and paradigm shift.
If you think that you and your husband will be able to commit to it, I can refer my homeopathic OB. Its a bit more expensive than regular treatment because all the medicines are imported and are not readily available anywhere.
congratulations!
Congratulations!
