My emotions are very intense. They are so intense that sometimes I don't even know how I should really feel. Pregnancy- especially for rookies like me are a very confusing and scary time where I am utterly lost no matter how much I read.
I am in my seven weeks and these are the following symptoms:
1. I am constantly peeing. Holy Sh*t! It's embarrassing at the office because no one knows I'm pregnant yet and it just looks like I have a very bad diarrhea or something worse. I mean every half an hour my bladder starts to act up and remind me it's time to go.
2. Today was the first day of my morning sickness and boy do I love it! It is nothing like your usual vomiting. I felt like the bile were force exiting from my body and the immense pressure was terrifying. But thank god it was less than 30 seconds, I couldn't endure for more. During that 20-second ordeal, I didn't want my fiance but instead I longed for my mother's comfort. Definitely a mini enlightenment that mothers know best!
3. My appetite has increased tremendously . Instead of my usual 3-meal a day, I find myself eating in the morning at 7am then noddles at 10am, rice and chicken around 12.45pm then oranges or apples (I mean it in plural, don't ask me how many) at 2pm, followed by tea and dinner by 7pm. I try and get to bed by 9pm and if I don't I'm starving! Like stomach grumbling, heart beating starvation, which I try to console with a glass of milk. I don't think it's advisable to eat too much at night and risk high blood sugar and pressure.
4. My sense of smell has heightened till the point I can't stand my own perfume. I guess I can't abide by Coco Chanel's rule of wearing perfume anymore but hey if it means less nausea, I'm willing to risk it.
5. Maternity clothing and bra shopping is not the same. I'm a shopaholic and if you know me I like to put a dent in my bank account. Unfortunately that does not apply to maternity wear. I was so bored and demotivated that it actually scared me. Maybe I should have done it online but I don't know the sizes and I don't know how big I will get so there is a lot of pressure to find the right outfits and in most cases the appropriate attire.
However, at the end of the day I'm constantly reminding myself that I'm creating a beautiful baby and this life-altering experience cannot be traded for anything, anywhere. I can't forget the look on my fiance's face when I told him I was pregnant. Initially he thought I was joking because we have had a few 'scares' before but here we are and there is nothing scary about this experience.
