Phase 2: Itz happy days again!
Now that I am well into the 2nd trimester, which consists of 4-6 mths of my pregnancy, I suddenly realised that I am my old self again!! :) Well, not realli the same but u get what I mean.
The sudden surge of energy that filled my body was amazing since I was extremely sickly in the 1st 3 mths and I thank God for that! It made me appreciate life so much more and the simple act of being able to walk around without feeling dizzy or puky made me so happy. It so weird how much we can take for granted when we are in proper good health so I can well understand why those ppl who recover after going through a major illness have so much zest for life.
I took advantage of my mobility and good health by contacting friends and relatives. I somehow developed this fear that my life was going to change once my baby is delivered and I'd better start going out and enjoying myself. I think I may have overdid it for some days as my legs would swell and ache. hehe...I also took on small projects which mostly allowed me to work from home. All in all, I must say that it was time well spent though many people kept asking me "what do you do all day? Not boring meh?" *keke* ...somehow being "available" means people will automatically seek you to go out (actually they are all curious on how I look w my tummy!!).... Mentally I kept reminding myself to "enjoy the peace and quiet" that I have now and the fact that I only have to worry about myself and my meals.
Though itz definitely not the same going through the pregnancy without your husband by your side to cater to your whims and massage your aches, I think it definitely made me more independant as a person. My husband on the other hand contacted me daily and tried to read up on pregnancy stuff so when I tell him any symptoms I was encountering, he would discuss with me what it meant and all and when I should alert the doctor. I have never ever seen him so "studious" with anything before so I m kinda glad he is taking the effort to know more so I can leave all the tedious reading to him!!.hehehe...
Of course him not being here meant that I couldn't suddenly "feel like eating" Changi Village Nasi Lemak or Jalan Kayu Roti Prata. I have heard of friends who "torture" their hubbies with such weird requests...for me, I try to drink a cup of milk or eat biscuits to tahan the cravings who incidentally love to "attack" me at the midnight hour. Just a few nights ago, I kept thinking of Moss Burger fries and McNuggets! gosh it was torturous!..I then try to tell myself repeatedly" it's for your own good, eat so much will also put on weight!"....somehow this trick has worked really well and I hope it can continue all the way until I give birth!!
I have been told that if a pregnant woman has a craving, she should satisfy it , if not the kid will turn out dissatisfied and make a lot of trouble for you! Not sure if it is a proven thing or old wive's tale, but it has been 6 mths that I have not catered to my cravings. I guess I will let you know after my child is born on how satisfied or dissatisfied he is!Hopefulli i won't get tortured! :S
I noticed that perks of being pregnant meant that everyone around you is extra concerned and nice to you. My cousin was telling me this "perk" will expire once your baby is born! wah where got such thing! heh..
Being a person who was very used to doing things for myself and helping others since a young age, it takes me a lot of effort to accept help when friends/relatives volunteer. I know many people will willingly sit back and relax but I just can't! call me weird or whatever...I guess I don't believe a pregnant person has to behave like an "invalid". On this note, I admit that I also have on occasions overstretched myself doing housewrk or carrying stuff so I learnt to "know my limits" as I have an additional responsibility to take care of this little person growing inside me.
Well I am about to hit the 3rd trimester, where many have warned me that it will be tough for some people. I guess I will never be prepared no matter how many books I read or shows I watch so I will have to learn to cope as it goes. Already I am suffering from swollen achy legs and back pain so I hope my symptoms won't get any worse! "cross fingers*
