in the first trimester, my baby seemed to draw all of my energy, so that i did not have any energy to do anything, including my favorite activity, shopping. i was so tired that i did not even want to talk on a phone. i would think that it was depression if i did not know the pregnancy. i did not vomit but always had that feeling. i could not eat much as well. if i ate 'too much', i would have the vomitting feeling. i think insufficient intake was one of the reasons for tiredness.
i could eat more during the second trimester. that's the period i gained so much weight from. it was a honey moon trimester. the belly was not too big, so that i could move freely and i got my appetite back. my appetite has changed during pregnancy. i got so sensitive to tastes including MSG. vegetable, beef, chicken, pork, with spiked of salt and fruits were my favorite. since i was so sensitive to MSG, so i have not had chinese and korean food for a while. somehow, i could eat very spicy again and my stomach did not complain at all.
at the third trimester, i was diagnosed as gestational diabetes, so i needed to see nutritionist for my daily diet, and i needed to punch my finger tips four times a day to monitor my sugar level. it is kind of hard for a person who loves starch and sweet. leg cramping and finger joint pain happened during this period.
any of the above suffers are worthy because God gave me a healthy, lovely, awesome baby boy!! and the bonus are being treated like a queen by my husband and having my skin and hair in good condition! overall, my pregnancy and delivery were smooth by God's grace.
P.S. We had moved and repaired the roof of our current house during pregnancy. before actions were taken, i was warned that we should not do any of those while i was pregnant according to some 風水師父. but the fact is, God's grace has guided us through and protected me and baby all the times. i have to say that i beileve in God rather than those 風水師父.
