Healthy Snack

This is one of my favourite snack : edamame

My comfort food and drink

Now, I've found the solution for my bloatedness
My comfort food is plain biscuit/crackers, a slice of wholemeal bread and a cup of ginger drink.
Thanks God, the newspaper today elaborate more on morning sickness and nausea and give some tips that I need it.
It's said that we only aim 70% full because our tummy needs time to digest compare pre-pregnancy and eat small portion but often is better than eat large meals less frequently.

The positive side that I've this sign of bloatedness is the pregnancy is going well so far.
It's better that I've this little discomfort than nothing happen that makes me worry

Bye - bye First trimester, Welcome Second trimester

yay, finally, I pass the first trimester. So happy !

And I post my baby development and my physical changes for the first trimester.

Many people said that second trimester is like heaven, can feel the pregnancy and humanity hehe eventhough it's time to start gaining weight haha....
For this past few days, I have been experiencing some physical discomfort

1. More vaginal discharge, it's white milky colour, lucky it's not brown discharge anymore
2. Constipation
3. Excessive urination, almost every one hour I need to go to toilet

As my weight, I gain around 0.5 kg. I guess it's still within normal range

And now I'd love to cook soup such as spinach soup, chicken and vegetable soup, crab corn soup, fake shark fin soup, mushroom soup, bistik sapi jawa, bakmoy. It's not greasy and healthy.
oh ya I'd love omelette as well with soya sauce hmm yummy...

Last but not least, I feel more energy and fresh now eventhough I still need a lot of bed rest
It's ok, because I don't really like going out as well.

Enjoying my second trimester with joy and love !

My Supplements

Some supplements that I need to take during my pregnancy :

1. Folic Acid ( in my first trimester)

2. Duphostan and Utrogestan ( in my first trimester ) to strengthen my pregnancy

3. DHAxtra softgel ( second trimester) this is fish oil softgel

4. Prenavit (second trimester) this is multivitamin supplement for my baby

Honestly, I am not used to eat supplement or medicine. When I was a child, I always took syrup or powder medicine, never tablet or capsules.

So by taking this supplement in tablet and capsule really a challenge for me ....sigh...

To give the best for my baby, I have a courage to take this supplements in a hard way

New day Old Activity

I declare today as a "New Day" in Singapore after went back Indonesia for about 1 month
I begin this week with the old activity, cleaning the house...
After leaving for 1 month, my house is very dusty and my nose can't take it, so I have no choice beside cleaning it.
It's very tiring compare with before I got pregnant but there's a satisfaction afterwards.

Then before lunch, I cook spinach soup with sweet corn. It tastes good.
I am very happy since I am able to cook right now and do my usual activity.

Later afternoon I will prepare bakmoy, it's one of my favorite food consists of diced tofu and minced pork
Well, I still can't eat Singaporean food even when I am thinking of it, I want to vomit..sigh...
So it's better for me to cook my own food and it's good for the baby as well

oh ya, I just found out that I still can't drink normal milk because I got diarrhoea after drinking mamil milk. Better I stick with soya bean milk

Week 8

Some updates, now I am at week 8 and above is the picture taken during bday dinner of Davin's client
We had dinner with Davin's boss, his wife, davin's client and his wife as well at Ah Yat Abalone Restaurant. The food is pretty good eventhough I was slightly drunk because of drunken prawns hehe...

Still, I can't take the hawker food / food court smell and sorry..Indian smells...
it drives me crazy when I smell it uuh..really hate it...
We plan to go back to Indo the next 2 weeks, and I will stay at Semarang for around 2 months because the living expenses here become sky-rockets after I am pregnant.
The main reason is I only can eat Restaurant food which is expensive here.

My other favorite food now is chicken and sausage roll pie from Polar Puffs and Cakes.
Actually I want macaroni schottel and pastel tutup but Singapore doesn't have therefore Chicken pie is good enough for substitute
