- All the things I did not like much during pregnancy are back on my food list for e.g. capsicum.
- I haz a sweet tooth. Well, I always liked sweets, but I could never say that I had a sweet tooth. I had a chocolate toothie, but not this.
- I lost weight and sometime in March I was just two kgs over my pre-pregnancy weight, and then rather than falling any further my weight seemed to increase. Joy muchos? I haven't stood on the weighing scale, but I feel heavier. And on Wednesday, I was four steps close to a scale, and still did not stand on it. Yeeeouch.
- I am not going to worry about my weight more than twice a day. Once when I see myself in the mirror and then when I undress. Cool, huh?
- I still don't feel like wearing any perfumes. Incense from my mother's incense sticks sometimes seems to curl and sit on my nostrils.
- I got fresh stretch marks this time, but they are localized at those very spots as where I developed the stretch marks from the previous pregnancy. It's a belt on my lower abdomen...
- Surprisingly, I noticed that my lower abdomen still felt sore to touch. I am very sure it was the same last time as well, but I had not paid much attention to it last time. And then I conceived. The soreness increased during the end of the pregnancy, and now it is just the same as is expected after a C-section.
- My spotting continues - very light but definitely there. That would be from last Monday till date.
Stupid spotting...
ReplyDeleteThe others are badges of war, aren't they? Even the extra kilos. You will take care of them when you have time. Now your time is spoken for. Entirely. :-)
Thank you for stopping by my blog... sorry that it's taken so long to get back to you. Congratulations on your pregnancy... wonderful news :) Hope the spotting stops soon... thinking of you xoxo
ReplyDeleteMina is right...except for the damned spotting, they are all badges of honor.
ReplyDeleteIt has always amazed me how many permanent changes happen to our body because of pregnancy.
Mina is so smart!
ReplyDeleteThe sweet tooth may be related to breastfeeding, though. I was crazy for sugar (I normally am anyway, but it got outrageous) while nursing, and when I stopped, the sweet tooth calmed down to normal levels. It makes sense because they say that breastmilk is sweet, and it requires plenty of energy to produce it - both of which require sugars.
i also developed a perfume aversion for some reason...
ReplyDeleteand sweet tooth? i crave sweets like crazy!!
and i also don't care much about weight - for now, at least
My lower abdomen is still wonky from my 2 CS. It is kind of numb. For the most part I don't notice it but occasionally it bothers me. The stretch marks I have are my own fault so I can't blame them on pregnancy but I will never wear a bikini. I kind of have jowls of a dog like Kate Gosslin.
ReplyDeleteI hope the spotting goes away soon :( And the tender belly, although I'm sure the spotting is much more annoying!
ReplyDeletewhat is it about incense? that stuff sticks in my nose FOREVER. i do not care for it. sorry about the spotting, i hope it clears up soon.
ReplyDeleteOh the weight. I lost quite a lot of weight after birth but unfortunately that did not last long. I try not to weigh myself but then the nurse (in one of those check-ups leading to T42. urg, if only I could get started) had me weighed.
ReplyDeleteI also don't have mirrors in my house (except for one small one above the bathroom sink. Except in an attempt to get Butterfly to brush her teeth it was moved to really just above the sink, where even short me can't see..) so imagine my horror when I went to buy a bra and had those mirrors staring at me in the changing room, undressed and all.
I'm so so sorry... I was trying to catch-up on blogs late at night on my little phone and misread your post :( Congratulations on the arrival of your daughter :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!!!

I had to read this more than once to verify that, no, you are not currently expecting. I see I was not the only one. :)
