The anxiety continues throughout the week.
What can I eat? What can I not eat? What should I look out for? What should I expect? Every moment is spent on the website, searching for information on first trimester pregnancy. Things to expect, diet to follow, etcetc.
The days of nauseas, giddiness, bloatedness, tiredness and tummyache continue. The only difference is, I begin to be more aware of the symptoms and more cautious of my movements. No more running, no more dashing around, no more throwing tantrums. Everything is done with the baby in mind.
I am extremely careful with my diet now. No more raw food, i.e. no more sashimi (there goes my raw salmon for 9 months "__"). No more icy cold drinks or ice-creams ("__"). No more coffees/cokes/chocolates - so no matter how sleepy I am, I have to force my eyes open without any support from caffeine; but thankfully, I am not a caffeine addict, so not much effect on me. No more sausages and tibits and maggie mee ("__") due to the high amount of preservatives.
The mindset has also began to change. The hack care attitude of the past - you do not bother about what you eat, what you do, how you react - the temper, the tantrum - all these have gradually reduced. The life and mindset now are so different from the past. Whatever me and my hubby do nowadays take into consideration our baby. Because, whatever both of us do, act or say from now onwards will affect our baby. Our baby's senses are developing. Its ears are growing and it may already be eavesdropping our conversation =p
