The first time I confirmed that I'm pregnant, I got so excited... My mom gave me all these advices and reminded me of some 'pamahiin' during pregnancy. My in-laws were even more excited (who would not get excited if it's a first grandchild to an only child! hahaha). Everyone in the family were full of enthusiasm for the upcoming angel in our home...
1st month
- hmnn nothing unusual yet. I don't feel anything yet except that I know in my mind that there's already a live thing in my tummy that reminds me the I should be careful all the times. My tummy is like just normal. In short no physical signs yet of pregnancy except that I am not having my period. Based on some articles I've read on the internet, normally some pregnant women would start to feel dizzy and vomiting on this stage.
2nd month to 3rd month
- there you go... the misery has started. I now feel dizzy every afternoon. I feel like I want to vomit every food I intake. I want to sleep all day and just lie down all the time but I can't do that since I am working. I can't eat well and I don't even know what I want to eat either. But there was like a week-long wherein I was looking for some dishes that has a lot of dark sauce in it like soy sauce like adobong maraming toyo, adobong kangkong and dinuguan. Oldies would like to stop me because they were all afraid that my child would get black skin but I can't help it. HAHAHA! Now, I am starting to feel my tummy getting bigger. I hate to smell foul odor. I think this is what they called 'paglilihi' and now is my time. I start to take pre-natal vitamins (Natalbes and Fumiron).
The craziest thing that happened to me on this stage was that I got spotting. There were some spot of blood that came out. I was very very shocked when my OB told me that it's dangerous and it's a sign of possible miscarriage. What?!?!?! OMG! I'm still on my first trimester and I was already feeling the pressure of carrying a baby. To be pregnant is NOT THAT EASY well in my case! I was advised to get a vacation from work. I was bed rest for three weeks while I was taking up Isoxilan medicine that will help the baby to stay in my womb. I followed all the instructions of my OB. NOOOO, of course I don't want to loose the baby. If it's hard for me to think what was happening to me, tripled that with what my hubby was feeling. As much as he wanted to take care me and assist me during my pregnancy, he can't because he's abroad. He was calling me everyday just to check on me. My mom, in-laws, siblings and everyone in the family including my friends were all very supportive and guess what, the baby is saved. We were all very thankful to Him for not letting that disappointment to happen.
- some would say that it's already a start to enjoy the pregnancy as you will no longer feel what they called 'paglilihi' but that was not my case. Huhuhuhu. As much as I want to enjoy the whole thing about pregnancy, I can't because I can't still eat well and I'm worried that my baby is not getting all the nutrition he should have. I make sure that I go to my monthly checkup and everything is still in good shape. On the latter part of my 5th month, it's starting to get normal again. Aside from having a big tummy, I no longer feel anything that would make me feel uncomfortable during pregnancy.
6th month
- wow, it's a festive month, December. Now my problem is how to stop wanting to eat food. I consulted my OB about that but she said that I can still eat what I want except that I should minimize eating salty foods and sweets. Though, I can already feel the heaviness of my tummy, I still do my daily acitivities like going to work. But everything I do of course is with extra care.
My hubby came home to enjoy the holidays with us. He was here for Christmas and New Year celebration. This was the first time he saw me with big tummy. He was so excited!!! Every night, he would talk to our baby and even sing for our baby. I don't know the title of the song he used to sing for our baby, but it was like - "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey...". Waaaa it was a precious moment for us. I got even more excited to see our baby. I know we will be a one great happy family! I am super super excited!!! I love you baby, I love you Daddy! You both complete the whole thing about me... mwaahhhhhh.
Here are my pics during my 6-month journey... notice how I got bigger every month and how my excitement get tripled every month :)
