Wow, the first trimester has definitely been tough for me. Food has lost its taste and I felt nauseous a lot and had actually puked once around midnight. I was also more tired as well. Now I am feeling much better, food tastes good again and am feeling more energetic. The pregnancy bump started showing around 20 weeks. I have only gained 5 pounds so far and I don't look that pregnant. I am down to one pair of jeans that fit me, so I should purchase so looser pants soon. As to physical discomfort, there is this persistent aid around my lower right hip area. At one point, I actually got hemorroid for two weeks from biking for two hours. Apparently pregnancy + biking = hemorroid, which was really unpleasant. So now I use the elliptical machine now and have not run on the treadmill to avoid potential hemorroid occurance.
The fetus is actually kicking now, so it make the pregnancy more real and tangible. The first time I felt it kick, I freaked out completely and had to wake my husband, it was a very alien feeling. My husband and I have not settle on a name yet, but should reach an agreement when the baby is due.
I don't know if I am ready for parent hood yet, I still feel like a kid despite that I am 31. I guess I will take it as it comes.
