BLOATED-NESS
What irritates me the most is the bloated-ness of the stomach as i am suppose to take 6 small meals instead of 3 normal meals. But the issue is that i am unable to gauge what portion does it means as smaller meals. :( Before pregnancy, i have not been eating alot and definitely considered as one of the small-eater among my fellow colleagues. Now with similar portions, it gives me bloated-ness and makes me feel really uncomfortable for many hours. I have taken eno and 100+ to ease my indigestion and to help me to burp a little. Tried Gaviscon double action liquid but i totally dread the taste of it and i feel like vomiting after consuming it.
CHANGE OF CHOICE OF FOOD INTAKE
My choice of food moved along the chain to something more heavy flavored. I will always crave for spicy / tom yum / curry related food. No longer the lover for fish soup or porridge though. So far i have been eating on moderation and have no food restriction since Dr. Tham has given me the green light to eat whatever i want as long as i keep to moderation. And i used to be mushroom-lover but now i dread the taste of eating mushrooms. I am glad i still love to take fruits and vegetables which are really good nutrient to our precious. I have packed some good snacks such as raisins and food bar in my bag just in case i get really hungry as well!
ENERGY LEVEL
I have to admit that i am no longer active like how i used to be. I don't really feel like exercising nowadays as i feel mentally tired out. Especially that i have to work for about 8 hours a day facing the computer and deal with some of the planning process that requires plenty of brain-storming. On some of the days, i can just fall asleep at 9pm till the next morning which i have never been like this before pregnancy. On weekends, i will just feel like bed rest and not doing anything. This is how tired i am during first trimester.
TEMPER (HORMONES CHANGED)
I think as the energy level drops, the patience level i used to have, drops as well. Sometimes i just cannot be bothered with some of the things that happened around me. I tends to tear non-stop when i watched those drama-mama show nowadays. Feel extremely grumpy when i am hungry and there isn't food available for me.
SUPPORT
I think this is the most important thing i needed during the 1st trimester. It is the support from your loved ones. For my case, as we had yet to announce to our families. It is the tender loving care from my Paul Sir that keeps me going and definitely knowing that having our precious is the most important event that has happened to us. It is our precious. :)
P.S: Thank you hubby for always being there for me when i needed you the most. i know that i have been pretty unreasonable to you but i appreciate you for who you are. :))))
