My Second Trimester

The best part of the whole pregnancy is the second trimester, well at least for me it was...I was feelng really energetic and happy all the time! My belly started to show (just a little bit) and I felt my baby move for the first time.

It was wednesday january, 30 of this year when I felt her move and that made the whole thing so real; I mean, at the first trimester you see the positive pregnancy test, the ultrasounds and feel sick but somehow that's nothing compared with that new sensation of having a life inside of you.

This 3 months I tried to enjoy the blessing of being a pregnant lady, like eating whatever I want (with moderation of course), taking naps, parking in the pregnancy spots or just doing nothing at all...heaven! I spent my days most of the time in pijamas watching movies with my hubby or in the mall with my mom.

At this point I realized that The secret of a happy pregnancy is behind of all those cliches that mom and grandma used to say!

My First Trimester

You know how everybody says that pregnancy is amazing and you get a magical glow with it? Well, I call it bullshit! Don't get me wrong at some point all the problems goes away and maybe you can feel that glow flow. Thank God I never experienced morning sickness but my stomach was killing me...literally. A couple of times I rushed into the emergency room because I couldn't deal with the pain; The thing is that I always suffered from gastrointestinal problems and with the pregnancy they became worst. 

The first month: Actually you don't feel anything until you miss your period, it can be right away or it can start one week before/later; Thats because a pregnancy calendar starts at the first day of your last period (in my case was September 29, 2012).  

The second month: Because I decide to wait until I passed the 12 weeks mark* (except for my husband and my ob, of course) to tell everyone I was suffering in silence. My mom insisted that I was dying or something and I didn't want to tell her LOL She almost made me go to a specialist in the other side of the contry but I kept delying the trip. 

Another thing that made this month the worst month of my pregnancy was that my husband's boss decided to change him to another work place and since then he has to travel back and forth every two days (sad face). 

The third month: At the beggining of the third month I was still feeling like crap and I wanted to died (seriously, I was feeling that bad) The feeling of having an stomach infection 24/7 is all I can compare with the crazyness of the first trimester.

There's a lot of things that people don't tell you about pregnancy and its sympthoms, most women think that dizzyness and vomiting are the worst of them (or at least I think so) but we couldn't be more wrong! Trust me there's a lot of other things that you can hate having for months, but we'll talk about later in other post. 

In conclusion, Everything during the first trimester sucks!

MY PREGNANCY:

November 2, 2013 I found that i'm pregnant! 

That day was a typical day, I woke up early and because I had to do a lot of errands I didn't even had time to have some breakfast. Everything was doing perfectly fine, until I arrived to the bank; I was waiting on the line in order to pay some bills and suddenly I felt really really bad, my head was spinning, my mouth was dry and my blood pressure dropped so fast that I had to leave the bank right away; that gave me a hint but because I didn't have breakfast I wasn't really sure and I assumed I was just starving. As the day passed my head erased completely the incident. 

Later the same day, I was working in my computer waiting for my husband to come home from work and suddenly I felt asleep with my computer still on my lap; I woke up 2 hours later in a pond of spittle and sweat (LOL) and that's when I knew I was pregnant! As soon as possible I ran to the drug store and bought the first pregnancy test that I saw and I was right...IT WAS POSITIVE! 

It definitely wasn't planned...my husband and I only had 3 months of marriage (but 6 years of relationship) and we thought It'll take longer to us to get pregnant and we couldn't be more wrong LOL

Even though we were really happy and excited about what was going to come...
