First trimester pregnancy sickness

The feeling of wanting to vomit had long begone after the 6th week of pregnancy. Now, coming into week 10th of pregnancy, I feel not too bad overall, except feeling less responsive & lack of appetite. The worst part is you know you should be eating well but nothing seems appealing. If you don't eat, you might faint due to low blood sugar. I experience once and I freaked out. From then onwards, I dare not skip my breakfast. I really nearly fainted and I had to lie on the table for at least half an hour to recover while eating something. Yoke Peng then told me that if it happens again next time, drink a milo or some glucose for instant boost because food will take sometime to digest and become sugar in your blood. Though feeling chilly at times, especially during evenings, I didn't vomit like most women during their pregnant & hope I won't experience this later on.

Every morning, I wake up, I've to becareful not to stretch too much. Otherwise, I'd feel slight piercing pain around my abdomen. Every night, I'd wake up at least twice when ZY toss & turn or when I need to go to the toilet.

So far, almost every evening, I feel tired and sometimes needed a rest before I could shower. But everytime, after shower, I'd feel much better. Sometimes, my buttock feels painful too. Maybe due to my growing pelvic bones to support my growing baby. If I feel drowsy in the morning at office, standing up and walk in a place helps. Drinking 100 Plus makes me feel better too in the morning. However, I tried to limit that to twice a week. Drinking plain water has been difficult since last few weeks because it tasted awful. I'd tell myself to have 1 sip every 5 minutes & I must finish my whole bottle of water. Eating fruits too makes me feel bloated and drowsy. So, it's difficult to eat them too especially apple & oranges. I do like prunes at some point. Hmm...sometimes I wish it'll be July tomorrow or I become teenager again because most teenager don't have pregnancy symptoms at all and don't even know when they got pregnant. :P

I only manage to eat my vitamins after dinner every night. They taste awful. I'd stop breathing after I swallow them or take something sour to suck.

From 6th week till about 8th week, I've been eAting mostly fast food. But since last 2 weeks, my appetite changed and I prefer dry chinese food, i.e. white dry rice, fried chicken & some vege. The portion that I take is not alot compare to before I wasn't pregnant but it's better than nothing.

During 6th week till 8th week, I feel hungry every 3 hours. I had oat biscutes, cheese bread & oat.

I'm writting this so that when er jie is pregnant, I can share with her my experience of my 2nd pregnancy (incase I forgotten all about it when she's pregnant). I hope she'll get pregnant soon. God bless her please... and my friends who hopes to get pregnant too.
