hello blog.

there’s so much things to say abt what happened for the past month i wasn’t writing anything here. but lets cut it short. 1ST TRIMESTER SYMPTOMS. yeah, i’m those unlucky ones who had to deal with morning sickness, nausea, headaches (MIGRAINES!), bla bla bla. i was physically and mentally exhausted. plus it was a fasting month, so i wasnt able to do much at all. thank god i’m not working at this point. i had to ganti puasa for 3 days coz those 3 days was my worst days in fasting month.

i can barely walk for 10minutes now. if we shopping or buy groceries, i had to stop and sit down somewhere in between the walk coz really, i was tooo tired and too dizzy to walk for too long anymore. shopping is like running a marathon for me. its not fun anymore. its torture. and yes, this is ONLY the first 3 MONTHS. cant imagine how it would be like for the next 6 months. 

BUT the good thing now is that since 1st trimester is going to over in a week, headaches are a lot less, and sometimes there’s no headache at all. at least i dont have to deal with headache every single day, which to me..was the worst among all other symptoms. 

one very sure thing i dont like to have around me at all during this pregnancy is..PERFUME. i cant stand the smell of perfume n i dont know why. i dont wear perfumes anymore n joe rarely does too. i told him if he wants to wear it, go puff outside our hse n definitely outside our bedroom coz u know how the fragrance smell will retain for a few minutes or hours if u puff it in a room. there’s one time he forgot n puffed in our room n i almost immediately throw up. thats how bad it is. as for other ppl, u cant tell them not to wear perfume, that would be wrong. so if i smell perfume or something i dont like, i’ll just take out my bestest friend, minyak cap kapak. haha. for some reason it is the most soothing smell now. lumur2 sikit dekat hidung and i’m off to breathe normally again. :p

off topic, i have been sick for a few days now. mainly coz of my tonsil. i have flu, a slight fever n of course, sorethroat. for some strange reason buffy is sick too. so both of us are sick and joe’s not around. he’s in gerik for work and i’m still here to spend raya for another week before going back there. i have heard from a lot of ppl that its not good to take medication during pregnancy coz u dont know how it will affect ur baby, or in some case, can cause miscarriage. a cousin told me her friend took ponstant when she was pregnant, which was prescribed by a doctor, to later found out she had miscarriage. 

so when i first had my tonsillitis few days ago, i was so scared to take any pills. but for those tonsillitis ppl, u know that when u have a very very very painful sorethroat, plus a flu n and a fever, not taking any medication is a total torture. and having a backpain at the same time is just a crazy thing. i wasnt able to sleep. i sometimes sweat, and sometimes feel so cold, its just a terrible terrible feeling. mom was worried so she took me to our gynae yesterday.

strange thing, yesterday my sorethroat was feeling very mild almost ok n my fever cooled down. only flu was still bad. gynae said its okay to take medication, but there are some medications that are not suitable for pregnant women, for example ponstant. (so that explains the miscarriage story i told just now). she gave me 2 types of pill for the flu that is very safe for pregnant mommy which is piriton and zyntec. and a cream for my eczema problem. 

i also had my 1st ultrasound yesterday and to see my very own baby in my body for the very 1st time was the greatest feeling ever masyaAllah. he/she is so tiny yet moves very actively. so cute. the heartbeat was so fast too. he’s only 3.57cm in length yet u can see the head, hands n legs already. i’m assuming that as he/she grows bigger, he’ll move more. very active kiddo i got here. hehe. too bad joe wasnt there to witness our baby. but i did show him the ultrasound picture when we skyped yesterday. he looked so happy when i was telling him bout our baby. kesian ayah. next ultrasound we go together okay honey?

until my next post, enjoy our 1st baby photo. 

p/s: its not to late to wish everyone Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Maaf Zahir Batin.
