post-positive

Gosh, this is too overwhelming! I don’t even know where to begin. There’s just so much to learn about pregnancy and when you think that ‘you’re not doing anything about it’ (like me), you’d be really scared and nervous! I know I have friends who have been there done that twice and one could not get more support and assurance than that but when it’s your turn, it still feels like you’re on your own. I have not done anything or read any books except that I have been taking folic acid and I have registered at babycenter.com. Is that enough?

The problem is, I don’t feel like doing anything at the moment. I’m a total bore to be with right now. The house is my cocoon. I would go out for meals or at the most I’d go to the Empire Mall and that’s about it. Do not even suggest to me about watching movies at the cinema! I’m such a lazybum. All I wanna do is sit at home and be pampered. Haha. I’m totally taking advantage of the ‘first trimester’ blues. But in my defence, I really am not feeling well. I feel nauseous in the morning, before I go to work and so I’d ‘entertain’ that feeling before I leave the house so that I won’t face any problem on the highway. Sometimes I’d be okay once I reach the office, sometimes I need to take a nap for about 20 minutes. My ‘normal’ hours would be from 9 am to 4 pm and then I would feel nauseous again. I am at my worst from 7 pm onwards. So, it’s a little bit of morning and evening sickness for me. Throughout the day, my throat feels ‘uncomfortable’, but it’s bearable. And the sad part is the only cure to it all is food. I know people tend to throw up food but I throw up everything BUT food. Let’s not go into details but you get what I mean. What goes in my mouth STAYS in my body. I am happy that at least I don’t have to worry about the baby not getting enough ‘food’. Alhamdulilah, I am eating well (too well) except that I have preferences now. I need spicy, sour or rich-flavoured food. I can’t take anything bland like porridge. The spicier, the better. I’m into nasi kandar Kayu (nasib baik there’s an outlet in Shah Alam), nasi lemak Abang Kelantan (you know him!I told you about him before!), assam laksa, telur masin, ikan masin, mee goreng mamak….ahhhh yummy! No wonder I’ve already put on 2kgs! But really, if you were in my shoes, you wouldn’t be bothered about your weight or your face anymore, as long as you can get through the day without feeling sick. And surprisingly, the hot food helps me feel better. Sabotage betul. Ikutkan hati, I want that nasi lemak for lunch breakfast AND dinner. :)

Other than all the eating, nausea and staying at home, I am generally fine, Alhamdulilah. I am not going to turn this blog into a pregnancy-blog pulak but do excuse me if I talk about it occasionally. Especially if I have nothing better to write about. :) Take care!
