I am 7 weeks pregnant with my second baby (3rd pregnancy, I
had an blighted ovum). And I decided to write my pregnancy journey. I am more
concern this time because of my previous one which was,as I have mentioned, an blighted ovum. I just couldn’t rest my mind until i get that
ultrasound check up. But my doctor is not yet here, she in in Cebu for some
seminar. I already went to the free
clinic for the meantime, because I really like my OB I would really wait for
her. In the free clinic the doctor never requested for an ultrasound even if I
mentioned it to her, what they are concern right now is that I do have an
Urinary Tract Infection. They say it is common during your first trimester and
that it can be treated immediately, so I am on medication for a week. I never
had this with my first baby, although my OB saw some signs she said only said
that I should drink more water and it did wash away all that white blood cells
in my urine. This time the doctor said
that the WBC is just too many that i really need to be treated.
So here I am right now on my 7th week, what I am feeling?:
1.
Fatigue- over fatigue, as in to the nth power. I
want to sleep all the time, and I feel so tired. But I cannot get enough sleep
at nigh, which brings me to my number 2.
2.
Lack of sleep at night/difficulty in sleeping-
it irritates me so much when my husband is so sound asleep and I am wide awake
listening to ever bit of night noise. And to think that I went to bed earlier
than him. Sometimes I have to wake him up just to keep me company.
3.
Abdominal discomfort- this one bothers me alot.
I had something like this with my first baby but it was more severe and my OB
gave me something, she said that it would calm my uterus she was affraid that I am having a threatened
abortion. But this time it is minimal but still it bothers me. When I search
for it on the internet everbody says that it is just normal(there is no
bleeding). I wasn’t able to mention this to the doctor at the free clinic
because at that time it disappears. Now it is back again, I told my husband
that this could be my Monday morning sickness, for it comes every Monday morning
and disappears by Tuesday afternoon.
4.
To much gas/indigestion- gross.. but yes I fart
all the time. I find a away to combat morning sickness, by not getting up
quickly or by eating something before standing up in the morning. But man, I could never find a
way to combat my indigestion. I fart all the time and I went to bathroom all
the time to dispose everything that I am eating. I am not puking through my
mouth but through my ass...I know it is gross but that what I am right now..
5.
And last but not the least the ANTS- yes you
read it right ants.. as in crawling ants anywhere follow me because I eat a
lot.. And man are they pregnant also? How can they smell my chicken siopao in
just seconds, I cannot eat something without the appearance of ants, especially
here in my office. I ate alot , as in
every hour I am looking for something, if not I am going to puke. So far I
haven’t puke, I am not a puker, so that’s why the ants are here because I carry
a treat anywhere I go.

| the dreaded ants!!! |
So far, that’s what I am feeling/doing at 7th week of
pregnancy. And nobody here in the office knows that I am pregnant. Only me and
my family first, that blighted ghost is still hunting me. It’s been more than I
year since my BO, but I am still afraid of that ghost. My family can sense it so they are not also
announcing it to the world even if I did not warn them. I know that feel the
same way, afraid that it might happen again. But I have not feel all those
above when I had that BO, so my husband keep reassuring me and himself also
that this time, there is a baby. So
please anyone tell me that this time around this one is real...
