At 8 weeks

Hello again,

It’s been a friggin’ rollercoaster. I wish I could stop feeling so drained and sleepy all the time. I wish my appetite would return to normal too. Every kind of food, even plain rice and dal make me nauseous! I cannot wait to feel normal again, when will that be?! Jeez.. everybody tells you about these things, yet you don’t really know until you REALLY DO.

By the way, I am literally starving my head off - the need to eat ever-so-often is overwhelmingly urgent as is the constant need to pee every 20 minutes (let's not get into the deets)

My first appointment with the midwife is on 27 May. Hope all goes well. It’s just a preliminary check sort of a thing to get an overview of my health, history and lifestyle. It's such a relief to know that mom-dad are coming to help in December when the baby is due. Not really sure how I could do this alone

General mood: Alright, as long as not pukey

Major aversion: Indian food smells

What's annoying? That awful bloated-y feeling and frequent heartburn like I am about to burst any minute

What's going well? Daily intake of fruit and other healthy stuff

I will be back soon!
