Second trimester, week 13

Feeling super happy because my baby is healthy. My doctor, dr Enny Pamudji from JIH, said that the baby is very active which meant i drank enough fluid and took good care of myself.

okay, honestly,,,, i didn’t really ate healthy food like all the time. Sometimes I ate junk food and indomie. Some people were surprised, but i guess the baby is really really strong. saying Alhamdulilah seems just not enough for my baby’s health. Please keep being strong lil kid.  

the frequency of me puking has been decreasing. but i still have no appetite. and dr. Enny told me to gain at least 2 kg every month. or around 12 kg in total. hhhmmm… not sure how i can do that. 

my doctor also limited my travel time to twice until the labor time. so i guess i’m going to go back to Jakarta in April and spend my second trimester there with hubby. before going back to Jogja in my third trimester.

Owh, and my belly is more likely the same. don’t have the bump yet. 

#week13 of my #pregnancy and the baby is very active, well according my doctor. And, not that i dont believe my doctor… But when she told me: “okay thats the heart, stomach, lung, bla bla bla…” I was like “huh? Isnt that all just grey and black?” Cc: @sojiropopo

First trimester

First of all Bismillah…

As a javanese, or Indonesian… not so sure about this, there is this saying about not announcing or talking about pregnancy until it reaches 3 months or around 12 weeks or “else.” I’m on my 11th now so.. *finger crossed.*

Usually I’m not the type of person who believes in superstitions. But this is for my baby, so i just dont wanna risk it. 

Anywho, I’m in the mood to write about it.  

So in the very first week:

I was actually on my super late honeymoon in Bali. I didn’t know I was pregnant so hubby and I just went ahead to enjoy our holiday. I rode motorcycle from morning until evening, going from one tourist spot to another. Not a good example for pregnant women. Thank goodness nothing happened. As for my body, I didn’t feel nausea nor did I vomit, which explained why I didn’t realize I was pregnant. I was just, hungry, like all the time. i ate twice as much and I must say I also didn’t aware of that. Not until hubby kept saying he was full while I was still hungry. Then I thought, maybe I just had a thing with balinese food :p

Second to around Fourth week:

We went to the doctor and it was positive. I’m pregnant. Still no nausea and vomit. But i did fart a lot. I also felt sleepy most of the days. And I was still hungry but had no appetite for any food in Jakarta. I wanted to eat many food in my hometown, Yogyakarta, instead. So I decided to stay with my parents for a while. It was good as I had my appetite back.

Fifth to tenth weeks:

This is where it gets tricky. I just dont feel like eating. And somehow I had no energy. Since I was so bored at home, I went outside just to freshen up. I went to my campus, met some friends, shopping, and other activities. But after around 2-3 hours, I just felt so sleepy and had no energy. So I started keeping snacks in my bag because, apparently, I need to eat something every 2-3 hours.

Tenth to eleventh weeks:

The nausea finally kicks in. I vomit daily. Still had no energy and no appetite. My weight is actually decreasing by 2 kg. My doctor said it was normal. She also said I didn’t need to eat a lot if my nausea got worse. Just make sure to drink at least 6 glass of water or juice and the baby will grow just fine. I actually tried once to push myself to eat despite the nausea and i vomited immediately after I ate, so i stopped doing that and just listen to my doctor’s advice.

I’m about to enter my second trimester in a week or so. Hopefully I will get my strength back because I hate doing nothing. And I wish i can eat some of the foods that I cannot eat right now. I really really want to eat durian pancake, but durian is bad for expecting mother.
