Well, alot of people say should enjoy pregnancy as this is the only time that you can gain weight legitimately. To be frank, my mood swings (likely from raging hormones) are dependent on how much weight i've gained... :(
Before getting pregnant, i have always been vain and very, and i mean, very weight-conscious. Once you get pregnant, your appetite really improved and not sure whether i am lucky or unlucky, i belonged to the Blessed 10% that have NO trace of morning sickness. Many pp lose weight during the first trimester, but i was happily gaining weight..... 3kg to be exact. And wat annoys me is that i have NOT been eating for 2, i dun take snacks or tea-breaks, i dun binge on food and yet i have gained so much weight!!!! My good fren cum colleague, Alicia has always been encouraging me to "whack for 2" and especially on all the sinful food that normally i wont eat (to maintain my weight) eg nasi lemak, KFC, laska and chicken rice.......and i always "ren" and eat normal meals like mixed vegetables and fish soup..... but still, i have ballooned.... Life is really not FAIR!!
Met my ex-colleagues last nite whom i have not met for last 6 mths.... and they all exclaimed at my big face and feet.... told them, the 10kg has to go somewhere rite? 5 kg on the butt and thighs, 2kg on the baby and placenta and 3 kg on myself, all around.... sigh.... how, another 3 mths to go and my gynae has told me that my weight will grow exponentially in these 3 mths.... before i know it, i will hit at least 15kg in total weight gain on my full term..... Agrrrr....... they also commented on my freckles which were never obvious b4 pregnancy.....yes, i know, raging hormones will cause pigmentation to be more obvious... sian......
Told Fabian liao.... he better set aside $$ ready for me to go slimming programmes, Malay massage and IPL.... to be frank, women really sacrifice alot to have a kid... yes, i know, all is worth it (mayb?!?) .... but, but...... i better stop complaining else i will receive some hate mail/comments on this blog soon....
Need to ask Ms Wong in my next prenatal lesson. She's really good!! She recommended that Asian women to gain only between 10-13kg in total weight gain. But i am already at 10kg... so can i diet or cut down my intake of food now? Sigh........ :(
