I'm finally into the much-awaited second trimester and I'm feeling loads better. My belly has started to show at 15 weeks, much earlier than with my first pregnancy. I wasn't able to shed off my holiday weight gain because we found out I was pregnant a week after we got back so I'm carrying that along with our baby, pffft. The nausea has almost totally abated, the dizzy spells seem to be gone, and my energy levels are up again. Weird thing is that I feel sleepy at the oddest times during the day but have a hard time falling asleep at night. Hormones, you literally drive me nuts!
This early, I've had to do some shopping for new clothes since wearing my regular ones, especially my jeans, have become quite uncomfortable. I can't find any shop around here that sells a Belly Belt or else I could still hang on to my regular jeans for a bit longer. I'm happy though because I haven't had to hunt all over for cute maternity clothes because H&M has an entire line of comfy yet still fashionable outfits. Hurray for that! :D
Anyway, I'm thankful that "baby tummy" and I have stayed quite healthy so far. I pray that the rest of our remaining, more or less, 25 weeks will stay as worry-free. And I hope I manage to keep the pounds in check, too, because I'd hate to look like a whale by the time our angel's ready to pop out.

Hi Ate Candy.. I bought my maternity belt at Mothercare (Al Nemer Center). It's been a huge help especially at my phase when my tummy's getting heavier na. =) I think we bought it for 65 or 85 riyals (forgot na). =)
ReplyDeleteHi, Meg! Your timing's perfect because I've been bugging the husbo to help me hunt for a maternity belt. Now I know where to get one, yay! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou're almost at the finish line... Take care! :)
