A mother - to – be

The first day I knew I was pregnant; I was so happy and excited. At times my husband and I continue to be delighted over the idea of becoming a parent. We supported each other, and be open to the caring of our family and close friends.

The first trimester or the first 3-month periods of my pregnancy is not an exciting one. Early signs of pregnancy like breast tenderness, frequent urination, occasional nausea and vomiting (so-called morning sickness), as well as fatigue are often occurring. My happiness may be mixed with confusion about being pregnant. I’ll probably do a lot of thinking and pleasant daydreaming.

And now, in my second trimester of my pregnancy, morning sickness disappear which I suffered a lot and I can eat food whatever I want but of course if should be healthy and nutritious food for me and my baby. I’ll be thrilled when I feel first movement of my baby and wondering if it is a boy or a girl. But, we don’t want an ultrasound yet, maybe on the last trimester of my pregnancy. I do enjoy “showing” that I’m pregnant. And probably want more warmth and affection from my husband and fortunately he does all the time. I’m so thankful to him for being so understanding when the physical and emotional changes occur. I have all his attention and reassuring that I can depend on him anytime. I know throughout my pregnancy, I will be more OK for the love and care of my family, friends, and most of all my husband.
