My Pregnancy Journey

It was in 1st week of March2012 that Me and Bear found out we were pregnant. We both had mixed emotions, we were happy and yet we were scared on how to handle it as first timers. We didn't go to our ob-gyne immediately upon knowing about our pregnancy as we wanted to wait.

Initially we were planning to go to our ob at 8 weeks but before the 8th week of my pregnancy, I started experiencing severe nausea. I felt really sick and couldn't get out of bed. So we decided to visit our ob-gyne, Dr. Cleofe Medina at the Makati Medical Center. 

The duration of my 1st term was really difficult, our toilet bowl was my bestfriend as I would always run to the bathroom like every 10 minutes and almost hug our toilet bowl for throwing up. I felt like dying and I wasn't enjoying my pregnancy, very opposite as to what I see on other pregnant women. I started to get envious with pregnants who can eat whatever they want, and can go to places and travel. I had zero energy, and I couldn't eat anything because I would always throw up whatever food I eat. I was just inside the house!

At exactly 13 weeks, I finally re-gained myself and my energy were back. I started to feel happy again.

at 15 weeks -- baby bump rising

Come the start of my 2nd term, I felt freedom! Me and Bear can go out on a date once again and I'm able to eat good food. However for some reasons, I suddenly don't like the taste of anything that is sweet. I don't like the taste of ice cream, chocolates or cakes. I just love eating normal food like lots and lots of veggies, fish, chicken. What's odd is I loooove to eat anything that is white. Suman, Vanilla Ice Cream, Congee, Egg. anything that looks clean.

 My belly bump is quite big and I started gaining weight

We're on our 3rd term now and a few more weeks to go till BabyP pops out. I feel totally normal now except for the big belly bump and the difficulty in getting a good straight sleep cause BabyP is really active.We've already started our baby preparations and shopped for baby stuff as well.

Soon, a little fellow will come running around our house! All the challenges of my pregnancy were all worth it knowing that Me and Bear will soon meet our little offspring bebe!
