Its been awhile since I posted because i have been taken up with work and trying to keep on top of housework. i have realised i only feel sick when i am hungry or eat greasy food and that fizzy drink (which i never used to like) actually helps calm my stomach.
i finally went to the doctors and she told me i was unusually calm for a young lady who is pregnant. I didn't realise I was calm at all so this was something i was not expecting. when doing the blood test she also helpfully reminded me that the sting was nothing compared to what i would expereince at the end of my nine months: 'thank you Dr'
I will be back , my husband is waiting for me...
Your text goes hereYour text goes hereWhen people ask me how I am feeling I usually say i'm fine or admit to the added tiredness but I never mention how I feel it strange to be hungry so often. Rarely before have I felt truly hungry and definitely not 4 or 6 times each day. So much for the pregnancy advice experts telling me that the extra food intake required amounts only to a piece of fruit and a glass of milk per day: I am not sure how skinny they wish to feel during or after pregnancy but it is definitely not going to suit me. As children we are encouraged to eat when we are hungry so does that mean we should just ignore this factor when we are to become mothers? Or are the women that these experts do their studies on the type that would eat a three course meal twice a day as well as a cooked breakfast before they conceive?
I would love to be part of a pregnancy/diet study, I would show them how I love salty things so much now (before I tried to avoid using salt) and my favourite foods are red rooster chips, chocolate milk and toast with vegemite. Another thing that would be important is that greasy vegetables and meats don't appeal to me anymore and neither does chocolate (mum please don't have a heart attack here, I know I was bought up to appreciate chocolate and I am sure it will come back soon). Considering I used to be laughed at because I would put butter on roast potatoes, this is rather unusual.
Mostly when we think of pregnancy and food or cravings it has to do with ice cream and pickles or something equally as strange. Is there any real mothers out there who wanted this type of food? Or is it just an old husbands tale told to expecting dads to scare them off taking care of their wives?
So now there are 4 expectant mothers all close to me in some way. My best friend ust found out she is expecting a bub too.
I have learnt that eating ginger biscuits to help ease nausea doesn't work for me, what does work is a chocolate milk or cold peppermint tea.
My belly is growing, you can easily see the difference now. It is really cool as all my life skirts and pants have been to big for me around the top but they are fitting much closer now.
