My Bump`s First Trimester

It was 3rd week of January when my pregnancy test had finally appeared to have double line... I was stunned, and couldnt believe it. It might be the usual false alarm again =( just like the previous months.

"wow tutu ba ini?", "hontou kana??!!", "is this for real???!!", these were the reactions I had while looking closely the double lines.

After few hours, I tried the remaining PT (1 pack has 2 PT), double line again... Excited yet doubtful. I was thinking if I should tell honey right away, or wait until February 4, our monthsery to surprise him. It could be the greatest news or best gift he would ever received... Ayun, imaginations ko lumalakbay..

But then, I came out from the CR, and saw him at the kitchen... he really knows when I have something to say, kainis... I can`t pretend when it comes to him, masyado ba ako obvious... Just like that, my plan was ruined. I told him and He was soooooooo happy. He wanted to be sure so we went right away to Wellpark and bought 2 different pregancy tests, magsasara na nga yung store eh..

Well it was confirmed, my lady doctor said we were 6 weeks pregnant, and warned us to be extra careful coz there are chances that----u know---..

************************

this was our 2nd check up. Not from the Lady doctor that I love ( malayo kasi ) So we registered again from my previous maternity clinic near our place. But the thing is, mga men ang mga OB dun =(

So, Dr. Tanaka ( who used to treat me when I was suffering from infertility ) was stunned kasi Im pregnant na after half a year or more(?) of treating my cycle during 2007. DUring that time, I changed doctor kasi ala naman nangyayari sa kanila. We went to this lady doctor instead, my honey`s family OB. SHe`s great kaso nga lang, now that Im pregnant, I should register to a clinic near our place. SO we went back to my previous clinic. Infairness, maganda naman dun, hi-tech and accomodating. I just don`t like the other doctor, Dr. Tanaka =<

During this first few months, I remember having the normal symptoms of early pregnancy, called PAGLILIHI...

• Tender breasts... My breasts were unusually sensitive and heavier, although at first look, parang Maui Taylor`s boobs, it looks fuller pero masakit =) .
  
• Bouts of nausea. I can`t describe the feeling. I hated it and yet loved it. I hate vomitting but knowing that it was part of pregnancy, ok lang. Kaya lang I can`t normally eat. I hate smelly foods and everything. I was so moody.


• Unusual Fatigue. I easily get tired. I was so lazy, bum... I can`t do my chores. I was always lying in the sofa or bed. I was always sleepy.
• Frequent Urination... Even in the middle of the night, I woke up para umihi =(
  
  

About my emotions, I felt delighted, worried, exhilarated, thrilled,and exhausted. Different emotions, sometimes all at once, positive and negative feelings. Some says it is normal because of the hormonal changes. And having a baby adds emotional stress.

I was always thinking about his/her health. Would he be normal? Would she have abnormalities... something like that... Would I be a good parent? Am I really ready?

Basta a lot negative thoughts popped in, but at the end of the day, Im so thankful... I waited for this for a long time. I shouldn`t be pessimistic about my baby... I know she / he will be a beautiful baby just like US, his / her parents =)
