Of course I was trying to contain my weight gain.
Something told me to stay away from those diet pills and jamu etc etc.
Maybe I already had the motherly instincts back then.
Either way, I was not going to take any chances because me and the husband have been trying for a baby since our honeymoon
:)
Well, I am glad that I listened to my inner voice.
And I could not be more than happy to have Junior inside me.
Remember I cried when I could not fit into my clothes?
Remember I finally refused to hide any longer and went back to my t-shirts and jeans?
No more big tops.
I walked down the streets with the 'Who cares' look.
I am very happy with Junior's development and how he/she is coping inside mummy's tummy
Everyday I get comments about how big my belly is.
Some ask if I was going to be due soon.
Some ask if it was twins - which I hope but alas, no signs.
Some, you can see the shock on their faces when you tell them how old is Junior inside me.
Worse, is when people start comparing themselves when they were pregnant.
And you know when they compare, they make you feel like you are so fat and ugly and they were much better looking back then.
I have grown to be numb to all these.
Because I told myself that there is nothing I can do.
I will not stop Junior's growth and my body is always constantly growling for food.
So pregnant ladies out there, don't ever let anyone dictate you how beautiful you should look.
Their sense of beautiful was may be so yesterday.
*lol*
Sure I can only wear my old jeans without buttoning up.
But there are so many workaround solutions.
You just need to find one which suits your comfort level.
Enjoy the baby bump while you have it.
The earlier the better so you can truly digest that you are pregnant.
I still forget at times.
*lol*
There are times I want to help the husband carry things.
Times I want to just jump and dance around.
The only thing I can do now is walk, eat and give cute faces.
I am one active pregnant lady with the husband and Lil' Sister always wanting to pinch my cheeks.
*grins*
The husband sees me as more beautiful since he was longing for me to look this way.
A wonderful man who makes sure his wife is comfortable, feels beautiful about herself and constantly reminds her that she is very much loved.
I am one lucky wife.
To the ladies who told me to enjoy pregnancy, you can be sure that I am.
