to be exact. That’s how old my little boy is.. in my tummy
Time really flies so fast. In a few weeks, I’ll be officially a mom. Wow! Thinking about all the responsibilities that comes with the word “MOM” is really overwhelming. I really don’t know how and where to start.
WEIGHT GAIN
My check ups with the OB are now every two weeks. As of my check up yesterday, I was told to watch what I eat since I gained two pounds more than what I was supposed to. I was really overeating the past few days and with the weather getting hotter, I crave for Starbucks Mocha Frap (its decaf ok, so don’t worry) for my sweet and cold fix. From now on, no more Starbucks for me… or anything sweet and sinful for that matter. I’m craving pa naman for Razon’s Halo-Halo.. I guess I will have to save that for a special occassion (my birthday perhaps? haha!). I’m going to stock up instead on yoghurt and fresh fuits for my dessert. Its really hard for me to feel full if I don’t have my sweet fix at the end of every meal.
FAINTING SPELL
I almost fainted yesterday while I was standing up talking with my boss. It was such a scary experience for me! My vision was slowly becoming dark, my hands started to get numb and I was starting to have cold sweat. I was trying to reach for the chair beside me and I think my boss didn’t notice that I was feeling dizzy as he was still yakking away. Buti na lang his phone rang so our conversation was cut short and I went back to my cubicle. I immediately called my mom and told her that I wasn’t feeling well. I told her what was happening, she told me that my blood pressure suddenly dropped. True enough when they got my blood pressure, it was 90/60. Good thing I was also scheduled for a check up with my OB and she advised me to refrain from standing up too long. Even sitting down for long periods of time is also not good. She told me that while in the office, I should see to it that I have time to stand up and walk around for a few minutes to let the blood circulate more.
STRETCH MARKS
I finally have them!!! they ruined my perfectly smooth (naks!!) belly. I now have those nasty red marks which make me cringe everytime I see them. They are slowly taking over my entire tummy!! Even after religiously applying Palmer’s lotion, they still managed to find their way up from my puson up to an inch below my belly button. They’re like aliens!! I HATE IT AND THEY ITCH A LOT!!! I wonder if Mustela 9 Intensive Stretch Marks Reliever would do wonders? Or should I invest in Strivectin instead? Any feedbacks would be greatly appreciated
