first trimester

It wouldn't be that bad, I thought..

And when the symptoms start coming...

The nausea and vomiting as some referred to morning sickness, mine was evening.

It first came at 6 weeks. First time, oddly, I smiled and laughed gleefully feeling so proud to have the symptom ! Common symptoms everyone has in pregnancy and I have it too!! A proof that there's a miracle growing inside of me..

But after few episodes of sickness, no.more.smiles. Mine was not that bad but I had them. Maybe once or twice tops per day, and it occured every other day or 2 days free before the sickness reappear.

I had food aversions too! Curry was a definite NO ! up till now after passing 1st trimester, I had a lil phobia with curry and usually takes them very lil.

I was a seafood lover but not anymore when pregnant. I can eat but I dont go craze about it.

I love sup daging even at my 1st trimester. But at current, sup daging is a bit geli for my throat. LoL..

Thank god my love to chocolate never changed ;-)

I cannot take lamb. I took once a month back, and I ended with a bad throbbing headache with 5days of fever. very
very.bad.

Cravings?? no! but choosy, very much yea.

Sense of smell heightened especially during first 3months. Food smells were nauseating. Some people dislike perfumes, and some even hates their husband's smell or presence? hahaha. that thankfully did not occur ;-) more attach ada la. *batlashes*

Fatigueness were full blown. Daily normal activity just made me really tired. I guess that critical development time took a hugr sum of energy from the mother huh? I even felt like a grandma, slept at 9pm everyday but still feel not adequate the next morning.

Emotional wise.. hmm.. I easily let down tears and I am not the person that teared easily. Movies like step up revolution, the part where the girl danced alone for final audition? i.teared.a.bit. hahaha! only at that. Being extra cranky or angry or irritable, not so much. Feels the same like before.

Everybody experienced them differently even after multiple times getting pregnant, they always have something different to share everytime ♥

Alhamdulillah after first trimester has passed, energy were back to normal, no more nausea and vomiting, not so choosy and sense of smells were handle-able. All smiles

UPT positive and first trimester

I had an instinct that I might be baking a bun in my oven since 1st week of May. At that time, I went for my usual gym routine. When I was on the threadmill, I could not run. Any attempt to run, my lower abdomen cramped&cried in pain. I did not push further because we were planning to have one and I suspect I am.

Later, I frequently have lower abdominal pain and back pain. Especially when Im working . Taking patient's bloods were a huge burden coz bending is painful and achy..

Only 2-3 weeks later when my period missed a week, my urine test had a vague positive line. Worried if i might be hallucinating, I double confirmed with my husband's eyes hehe..

Planned was to see an obgyn end of june cause at least at that time, a heartbeat will be there. Unfortunately, I had red-brownish staining a week after my urine tested positive.

I was diagnosed to have a threatened miscarriage , which means the baby is threatened and that doctor gave me 50-50% chance since no heartbeat could be detected (too early scan)

Ijul and I were extremely worried. Worried so much and prayed to Allah as He knows the best. My BHCG was really convincing and at least that little nut is in my uterus and not somewhere outside.

I was on bed rest. Waiting game were no fun. A week later, my private obgyn scanned and saw a small clot in btwn my uterus and the decidua(which will bcome placenta later). This condition is called subchorionic haemorrhage and it seemed to be normal according to my obgyn coz there is always a possibility a part of it got dettached during excessive movements or unknown reasons, bleed and formed a clot. But good news was we saw a heartbeat !

A week later I repeated scan at my hospital, they don't seemed to see any clots but since staining still present, I was allowed to rest.

I had 2 days of bleeding, more than just stains and that freaked out a bit. But positive thinking, since I had no cramps, i did not see any products coming out, I thought maybe the clot is bleeding out and hence it bleed more. The clot has to come out to allow proper attachment .. oh god, knowing so much is seriously a major problem !!!!

After that , just stains for almost a month. Too worried sampai tak worried dah.. in the end , just leave it to Allah.

I resumed work after 3+wks of rest, and that is not easy. The more i walk and longer i stand, stained were more. I get lower abdominal cramps due to excessive walk and when I rest for a while , eg sitting in labor room (when nobody is in labor) , I was labelled lazy.. sigh :'( but I dont blame them, they don't know what i am going through at that time and i dont plan to share since it was my first week of new dept, tagging somemore (7am-10pm work) .. i did not want people to label me having excuses just because i am pregnant.

But alhamdulillah, 2nd week of work, no more stained. And now I am at my 21 weeks. Baby is active , Alhamdulillah ;-)

To be cont.
