What Changed?

A lot of things changed as soon as I found out I was pregnant....

  • 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 :(
These are just some that I can distinctly remember right now. I am sure that I am not the only pregnant person who is going through the same thing.

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.

All Day Sickness.....

I'm at my 6th week of pregnancy and my all day sickness has started. Since Monday I have not been able to hold on to my food from breakfast till dinner. Its not just morning sickness for me but an all day sickness. I suddenly lost my appetite unlike the past 2 weeks wherein i was really eating with gusto. This is really new to me since I didn't experience this in my last pregnancy.

But who's complaining, for someone who waited 5 years to be pregnant. I love it :)
