Juitanis: First Pregnancy: First Trimester and Second Trimester Updates

Hi.. I'm Juitanis, and im a lazy blogger... (*Audience* Hi, Juitanis!) sob..sob..

Its been awhile!! I've been MIA from this blogging world for no reason at all...its just that i have been kinda lazy to write..and that's it.. :)

Life has been treating me well lately..I'm so thankful and grateful to Allah SWT for everything that He blessed me with - for the past so many beautiful years! (omg, tak sangka that ill be in my three-zero in two years time..gaya2 makcik dahh niiii!) No matter what..life must go on kann..and i cant wait for our exciting and adventurous future with our little peanut (LP) !! And oh..oh.oh.. yessss we are expecting and no, its not twin! (in case if anybody is wondering)

Actually I didn't know that i was pregnant up until our delayed honeymoon trip last October 2013 (our wedding was on 16/08/13) I kinda -- have a feeling that i was prego before that trip.. but it has been proved negative in my UPT test - during my pre-employment medical check up (end of September 2013). The scariest part was -- i did go through the chest x-tray stuff without knowing that i'm already carrying my LP!! After a lot of research regarding the x-tray effect on the fetal... i decided not to stress out about it for too long...InsyaAllah everything will turn out the way it should.

I'm 31 ish weeks pregnant today....and i feel......HUGE and unattractive (macam la sebelum ni attractive benau!!haha!) i just couldn't see myself in the mirror! But i kept telling myself that my LP is growing happily in my belly! what else matter, right?! i have already gained a whooping 10kgs, okiess!!

and i still have more or less 8 ish weeks to go..I hope my weight gain will not exceed the recommended amount!! May Allah SWT be with us at every step and i pray that i can remain strong till the very end.. Ameen!

First Trimester

But of course I will be lying if i say that i love everything about being prego! The first trimester (up to 15 weeks) of the pregnancy had taken its toll on my body.. i felt very tired the whole time.. All i want to do is just to sleep and do nothing...Aside from that, i also did regret for not learning how to burp!! Siape tak reti burp, cecepat belajar burp please!!. I felt all gassy and bloated for the entire day as well...and it got WORST in the evening!! i would end up vomiting gas+water. (TMI, i know!)

There are certain foods that will make it worst such as oranges, orange juice, cabbage, banana and probably - most of the fruits..hahah! Craving wise, Ive been craving watermelon and nasi lemak bungkus for the first few weeks, thou!

Second Trimester

I could say that this trimester is a bit more comfortable experience for me compared to the first trimester.. i still felt gassy and bloated now and then but i gained a whole lot of energy this trimester..Alhamdulillah i have no other pregnancy symptoms that could effect my everyday life ;) But i do acquired one habit throughout my pregnancy. I have become VERY lazy..like extremely lazy..like super duper lazyyyy!!! Thank you sooooo soooo much to Mr. Hubs for doing all those things that he is not supposed to do ;)) He is now officially called himself all kind of 'tukang' already!! Ilysm hubby bear.. Haha!

I felt my LP's first kick at 16 weeks! But my baby bump is still not showing that much at that rate..but it kept growing rapidly thou!! At 25 weeks, people cant really notice my baby bump if i wear oversize shirt or dress..but still.. LP is measuring one week early woiii and keep growing like nobody business! LP definitely will not be a tini tiny baby! Erkk!

My food craving for this second trimester is cendol !!! ive been trying cendol at different places every week..and the best one yet is from gerai near Masjid Seberang Jaya!! My cendol craving is not over yet..Ill be hunting down cendol again this weekend!! ( sebab mkn cendol kah my LP jadi begitu sihat? hahaha)..

Ill be sharing more on the third trimester experience in my next next posts, perhaps :)
