Ever since I stopped morning sickness and started my 2nd trimester, I’ve been having heartburn. So currently TUMS is my best friend right now. No matter what I eat, I tend to get heartburn *sigh*
Baby so far is doing good. I feel him more and more now. His kicks are definitely getting stronger and it makes me happy to feel them. I borrowed a stethoscope from my aunty around 20 weeks. I couldn’t hear it at first, but around 21 weeks, I started able to hear him moving around. Then at 22 weeks I heard his heartbeat through there and its been getting stronger and stronger since. Such happy noises =) I love my baby so much. I hope he grows strong and healthy.
In the beginning of my pregnancy, I hated eggs and I used to eat a lot of mangoes and sour things. Lately I actually can handle eating eggs again but I hate the smell of mushy rice. After each meal I tend to have a sweet tooth and want something sweet to bite into. I think i’ve gained a lot of weight from this pregnancy and I look huge. I haven’t kept track of my weight from the beginning but I do remember when I had morning sickness, when I weigh in at the doctor was was about 163-165 at one point. So it makes me worry to think that I have gained about 20lbs so far. Today I weighed in at 185.5 though when I asked one of the nurses there to look at my chart to see how much I weighed in the beginning, she said 172.2 so supposedly I gained about 13 so far? I don’t know? Maybe I lost the weight to 163ish when I had morning sickness but still thats a lot to gain from that point?
I’ve been still been waking up in the middle of the nights. Many mornings I wake up at about 4ish in the morning and im starving but I go back to sleep since sleep > hunger to me in the morning. So i’m starving when I wake up. I seriously don’t know how I never used to eat breakfast. Only 2 meals a day. Now I really have the need to eat 3 meals a day and snacks in between but I do get full fast. I asked doctor what he thought about my weight but he told me not to worry.
