First Trimester : Lifestyle change...

From being active in sports, my lifestyle took a drastic change. Being our first baby, TK, the protective and cautious father-to-be(FTB), "forbids" me to run -- so I have to hang up my new running shoes for a good 1 year. Swimming is limited to leisure waddling in the pool instead of laps. We spend most of our evenings after dinner strolling at the garden at our place -- to help to relieve indigestion. During the weekends, we will go for long walk at nature parks.

I feel tired easily and will be in bed ard 9pm(my usual bedtime is 12midnite). Morning sickness(MS) sets in from week 6 onwards (yet to subside @ week 13 now) -- the constant nauseous and bloated feeling lasted throughout the day! Unable to withstand the smell of oil, we have to avoid food centre and do only light cooking at home. Lost my interest and appetite in food... We have to prepare small meals(bread & fruits) for me to bring to work -- I have to eat something every 1-2 hours to stop the nauseous feeling. TK jokes that seems like we r going for picnic :)

Thanks to my darling and supportive hubby, the almost unbearable first trimester is over! Now, we look forward to second trimester (after MS eases) -- the so-called honeymoon period of pregancy :) Hope to have some of my energy back and become more active!

P.S. TK does not want me to take any flight throughout my pregnancy -- it is with much regret that we canceled our Nov trip to Japan. We are sad to miss Mamiko & Tachi-san's wedding and have to forgo running at Yokosuka Seaside Marathon...
