The 10th week was a torture. The feelings of nauseas and giddiness were strong. Two days in the week, I almost fainted. I suffered from moments of low insulin levels, breakout of cold sweats and giddiness. This was not an easy week. I tried not to stand for too long and to take many small meals a day in order to ensure that the insulin level is normal. Thankfully, my appetite was normal and was still able to eat without vomiting. Given that my mode of transport is by train and buses, this was not exactly very helpful. The tummy was still not showing and thus, it was difficult for passengers to give up seats for you. Most of them will think that I am just being fat, having a bulging tummy, thus, nothing abnormal.
Thankfully, the tough times were short. From the 10th week onwards, life was back to normal. No more nauseas, no more giddiness, no more bloatedness, no more tiredness, no more tummyache and no more constipations. Appetite was as per normal. The feeling of being normal, without all the supposedly pregnancy symptoms made us worried. Is it normal to be normal during this period? Is it normal not to have all these symptoms anymore? Did something happened? Thankfully, I am not the only one, some preggies also do not have much or any symptoms throughout their pregnancy. Hearing stories from these experienced preggies gave us a little comfort.
Despite the little comfort that we get, I was still hoping that I could see my gynae as soon as possible to further confirm that the new life is still there....and I was normal to be feeling normal during this period.
