There's something very therapeutic when it comes to rubbing one's pregnant belly. Why do we do it? Perhaps it's my possessive nature kicking in or because I am trying to connect with the baby (in retrospect it's only an embryo). No matter what the reason is, I like it.
My first gynecologist appointment was last Monday on 24th March. I was such a nervous wreck, at a loss for word and would only reply when needed to. But Mr. Ng made the process of pregnancy made it seem like a piece of cake. The highlight was when I saw the scan of my tiny little egg form WITH a heart beat as an added bonus. I suppose this is what they call a magical moment, a moment when I felt connected with this tiny pea sized baby- my pea sized possession.
I'm just super thankful morning sickness didn't pay a visit this morning though I still felt the nausea from time to time. If anyone feels a terrible nausea the gyno should prescribe 'Metoclopramide" and should be taken 30 minutes before a meal when you feel the nausea creeping in. This tablet works like a charm! I'm just grateful for modern medication because I feel fine after taking one.
I also try to inhale deeply and exhale sharply a few times just to distract myself and abstain myself from being sick. It is also not advisable to stare at a computer screen or be on your smart phone too long since they can trigger it as well.
