Those three months...

I need to write down my 1st trimester experiences before they're completely zapped from my brain...

Only realised that I was pregnant on my 7th weeks. Never suspected before because after getting married my cycle went AWOL (not because I'm totally scatterbrained la...). Sometimes I'll be late for almost 3 weeks. After some false alarm, not forgetting money down the drain for buying pregnancy test kits (those kits are d**n expensive!), I gave up testing. Got my braces instead...hehehe...

I took the test when I felt like my body is just not in tune (hmmm what better words to describe it, ya?). And my breasts felt more tender than my usual PMS for more than 1 week but no period yet. Oh ya, and I dreamt that I was pregnant before testing...annnddd one of my colleague also had a dream too. Weird, isn't it? But I didn't inform my husband because if it's negative, at least he won't feel dissapointed (his biological clock is ticking, too huhuhu) and I wouldn't feel so bad.

When the two lines appeared, I think I went a bit panicky (eventhough I DO want to get pregnant) and spend another 10 minutes inside the loo. Finally when I told hub the news he really comforted me. Visited clinic on the 8th week.

Isn't it funny that before I found out I was pregnant, I was totally find and normal (except for those super tender breasts)? When for a scan and next thing I knew I started to have all those typical symptoms:

  1. I hate the smell of anything being cook especially garlic (spent fortunes eating out for almost 5 months!)
  2. I totally hate chicken. Just thinking of it make me feel bluek bluek. Ditto for eggs.
  3. Break outs on my face.
  4. I don't have appetite most of the time. End up looking anorexic, very the bidak what with my braces and all...
  5. Indigestion, heartburn and gas.
  6. Totally hate the taste of sausage and cheese sandwiches that used to be my fave breakfast.
  7. Waking up 5 times at night to the loo.
  8. Exhausted most of the time because of no. 6.
  9. Totally weird and vivid dreams.
But I guess I can still consider myself lucky because I didn't get morning sickness or vomiting. Oh, and my best friend said my breasts are big. I take that as a compliment because before this cup A ja...hehehe
