24 Weeks

Its the 6th month of my pregnancy and its such a miracle that everything is becoming so different. For one, my appetite has increased quite dramatically and to sum it up people, I am actually in the state where I could eat anything and everything that doesn't move. If it does, I will hunt it down and kill it!! hahaha...No seriously, I am developing interest on food that normally don't appeal to me, but I do realised that its only temporary so I would try to substitute it with other healthier things. Like when I am craving for chocolate or sweet desserts, I know that is because my body needs sugar so I will opt for fruits instead (yeah, right!). However, on Friday I was having this craving for Strawberry Cheesecake and couldn't stop talking about it so Saiful went to ASDA and bought me 2 slices..bless him. Smart of him not to get the whole box but 2 slices instead...hehehehe...kalau tak lagi mengembang la saya macam beach whale.

I am fluctuating between 56-58kg for the past few days. I have a weighing scale in my bathroom that I use to keep track on how I am gaining weight because my midwife says that I should be aware not to gain weight too rapidly. I am so lucky that my midwife is such a gem, although she said that I can eat basically anything, but it is always in moderation and she said that there is NO SUCH THING as 'Eating for Two'. I have to remember that I am eating for my self and not for the baby..and I have to keep active always, at least 30 mins a day. So apart from my daily housework, I will do some basic exercises whilst being careful not to exert myself in the process.

I spent some hours since Friday night to watch 'birth' videos on youtube. I must say that it is not what I had in mind..it is more scarier than I thought it would be. I watched them all; natural births in the hospital, water births, c-sect births, and even unassisted births at home..man that takes a lot of courage and support!! Saiful joined me watching one of the videos and after watching it I could have sworn that he turned pale...hahahaha...but after a few screamings and labor pains later, both of us can get a grip on this miraculous and natural process and just hoping that I could get through it without any complications. InsyaAllah.

Oh by the way, I kept telling everyone about the video and even Bud has started to watch them!! hahahahaha...I didn't know what he thought about it but I think he is grossed out with them as well!! Come on Bud, you will need to understand this to support your wife one day kan?? hehehe

Although I feel like I could be as prepared as possible in facing the birth, I don't think that anything that I am doing now would really give me a peek on how it is going to be when it really happens. Maybe mentally I could be prepared but physically?? hmmm I am not that fit to begin with and God knows how much I want the birth to be a natural one but if it was not meant to be, then I am sure it is for the best.

I will see my midwife in 2 days time and will do some more blood tests...which I am dreading so much because I hate needles and blood! They nauseate me...my sis told me that by the time I had this baby I would have gotten over my fears but I doubt it...but still Thank You Kak for trying to make me feel better.. :) I hope that the results will show that not only me but more importantly the baby are healthy.

So, I will update more on how that goes later on. Later..
