Hi lonerunner,
Thanks for the welcome
My hubby is aways too for a week... & like u.. hormones acting up y'day
Just wanna share my experience w/ all Mommies here...
I have a wonderful pregnancy which nobody can believe it, not even myself
cos all my cousins & friends sure experienced the vomiting or uncomfy part.. but for me, no vomiting, no spotting, no stretch mark even till now, sugar level ok, leg cramp & backaches less than 10 times only if i dun work
. And at 32wks, I aldy hv clear liquid or milk (according to some mommies) dripping out from my nipples. Only last fri tat my hubby noticed 1st sign of water retention on my feet. I could eat everything under the Sun & i really had moderate of everything, no cravings (which my hubby felt lucky tat he dun hv to run out in the middle of the nite to buy like some Dad-to-be). I even become slimmer. I lost 4kg when i bcome preggy cos i was in HKG & only for tat 1wk, as i hv no appetite. But when i m bk in SG, i've been eating normally... since then, i've put on 7kg which means to say i actually put on 3kg on top of my initial weight b4 pregnancy
. BB was on the pump side during the 22wks (0.4kkg)but now medium-sided @ 33wks(1.844kg) & my Gynae was telling me tat very few girls r as lucky as me whereby everything goes to the BB. Basically, i have it easily
.
As I am in the F&B line (family biz), I worked 12hrs daily, 5 or 6 times a wk. I was very surprised that my energy level was superb even till now which I m 33wks. More energetic than b4 preggy. I can sleep for 4hrs & work 12hrs w/o feeling tired. Can't believe it yah?! Nobody believe that I m expecting as i can still walk & stand for hrs.. & all my staffs salute to me
. I even quene up for 3hrs during the recent CROCS sales, just to make payment
My hubby is always away for competitions or biz trips & I hv my own life to lead. Yes, I do miss him when he's away but i looked on the brighter side, when he's away, i get to drive ard, shopping, do things on my own. He felt that the pregnancy had make me a stronger & a more independent person which actually boost up my morale to be a gd mom.
I think most impt is our mindset & especially now when BB is exceptionally active, it actually keeps our mind occupied. Whenever my BB moves, i wld very eagerly wanna feel her. I believe all Mommies have the same feeling as me too yah..
Last but not least, as I mentioned earlier, due to workload.. i hv yet to do any serious shopping. Any advise on the following items? Thanks gals..
Breast pump - Brand, manual or electric?
Milk Bottles - does BPA free really impt? which brand is best?
