Constipation

10weeks 2 days
Feeling - calm

times flies, mummy have been on bed rest for 5 days and had to return to work after the weekend.

constipation had been a bother these days and quite unfortunately it's normal attributed by the surging hormones in the body. Even before preggy, mummy had always been a 'victim' of constipation thus logically speaking does not matter much to me. However mummy have been experiencing tummy aches and cramps for the whole week and it did not occur to mummy that it could be due to constipation.

Not untill after watching the drama series which the cast went on a gynae visit for tummy pain and gynae was saying that partially it's due to constipation and the intestines pressing on something thus the pain / ache come about. Most of the time even with pain, mummy can only pass out a lot of gas but no bowel movement. It doesn't help when mummy is trying to increase our intake of fluid (read plain water) again as mummy is feeling thirsty rather easily.

So the next to turn to will be fruits and apples appears to be the best option. However mummy is caught with a dilemma as after consuming apple say after dinner, the next day will leave me with 2-4 times of bowel movements. Should I deem it as healthy or unhealthy? Shall make a mental note to check with Dr Adrain on our next visit.

didn't have a good dinner as likely due to the warm weather and heat, just after preparing the ingredients for dinner, mummy start to feel giddy and nauseous. Snack on a cracker and took some sparkling ribena hoping to alleviate the nauseous but even after trying to 'donate' to the toilet bowl, all attempts in vain. In the end took very little of the spaghetti, feasting only on the ingredients. Post dinner, straight back to bed.

mummy was just telling daddy that it's a torture to be watching tv programs recently. mummy have turned to be super duper sensitive and emotional, every single details of the show send mummy in tears. Name it; delivery of baby, weddings, dark period faced by characters and the list goes on.

mummy has got problems sleeping at night as it seem tough to find a comfortable position that wouldn't stretch or strain the tummy. So it takes a few moments of tossing and turning before finally being able to turn in for the night.

Jiayou, Baobei!!!
