I have finally passed the first trimester - it was full of nausea and more nausea. And I was like a zombie thoughout.
Starting of second trimester now.. While I feel slightly better; my little one is trying to turn the mummy into a hippo.. During the day, I get hungry like every 2 hrs!
The appetite definitely increased by 300% from first trimester. I eat like at least 6 meals a day
I am paranoid about gaining too much weight and being unhealthy; the paper just reported the GD is bad for both mommy and child
I tried to eat healthier but little one is so picky. *headache*
I tried avoid supper but no supper equal to no sleep. *fainted*
Haiz...

Quotes from report:
Mommy - "The Gusto study found 10 per cent of these women developed full-blown diabetes within five years of childbirth, when they were only in their 30s."
Child - "Many people who are obese or diabetic are afflicted by these conditions because their mothers had gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) while carrying them."
