The heavenly months.
Second trimester - bulan ke 4,5 dan 6. I feel good, not that fat, yet. Orang pun tak perasan yang I dah mengandung. Hahaha. It's either I'm genuinely fat - sampai orang tak sedar or I hid it well. Bukan cerita malu ke apa, cerita dia, I do not need the 'she's pregnant' look or 'pregnancy cheat' yet. I feel fine.
1 day, I went to Ikea. Faham la kan bila pergi Ikea, mesti la follow the maze kan. Sambil-sambil ambil gambar and berangan. Selepas sehari, balik, sakit perut, sakit kaki. Sakit macam kau tiba-tiba lari 100m takde warm-up. 2-3 hari juga nak sembuh tu. Nak tambah rencah dalam cerita ni lagi, tak tahan sangat, I went to see doctor. Dapat 2 hari MC beb! Doktor buat muka risau, tiba-tiba I pun terlebih risau. He did not prescribe any medications, he said, "just rest, limit walking". And I did that, for 1.5days - sebab ada sales, gila tak pergi sales?? Just did not walk that much la.
Hmmm.. Benda baik ni orang biasanya tak ingat. Ye dak? HAHAHA!
Ok ingat dah. Barangan baby! So, I pun bajet-bajet la nak beli baby stuff, sebab kalau beli semua sekali, sakit juga kan. Kebetulan pula ada Pureen Warehouse Sales and it it amazing! I bought almost everything, botol susu, detergent, baju, pads almost all lah, kat sana. 2 bag plastik besar RM300+ je!
So, nak cerita pasal tips ni, I baru je anak 1, tu pun belum keluar lagi. Tapi benda boleh share kan, why so much hatred. Ok what Hanis Zalikha share stuff dia buat untuk Yusof, sama-sama tahu. Beza dia anak 1 dengan kau anak 5 is - dia kongsi pengalaman dia.
Second trimester, you should:
- Buy baby stuff sikit-sikit
- Maybe start a log book on stuff to buy & bought
- Not walk too much - walaupun digalakkan, fahami badan masing-masing.
- Elakkan sakit selagi boleh - I had fever and took meds and baby was not as active. Sedih.
Oh, maybe you can join FB groups pasal orang mengandung ni - I join group Info Ibu Hamil. It is helpful, I gain knowledge and sometimes la, not everytime, it's entertaining.
Ok lagi. Dunia dah moden, you can read eveything on the Internet, baca tapi jangan la percaya bulat-bulat. Manusia bagi kita teknologi, Tuhan bagi kita akal. Apa guna bersama-sama? Petua-petua mengarut, tolong jangan percaya ye.
Sakit-sakit di second trimester:
- Backache - it's real people! Badan nak tampung baby kan.
- Stretch marks - OMG! Can we not have this? Butt, tummy, tight, breast - basically anywhere that expands.
- Hair growth - OMG-OMG! I thought I am the most feminine girl. Bulu roma kat tangan pun nampak tak nampak. Bila pregnant - poof! Everything is obvious! Rambut juga semakin tebal and I feel hot - not fantastically hot (itu memang), hot-I-constantly-need-kipas/aircond kinda hot.
- Headache - sometimes. Reasons to sleep in. Yeay!
- Baby mengeras - quickening/ Braxton hicks - That one time you tummy in weird shape.
- Skin chages - OMG-OMG-OMG. I had almost never have pimples. I'm that pure. LOL. Tiba-tiba, pimple bersepah. Haih.
- Varicose vein - yeap. When you are too heavy - this happens. It looks scary but it doesn't hurt.
Masa-masa nak bermanja dengan suami. Walaupun takde alahan or mengidam bukan-bukan. Alhamdulillah. I'm that good dalam psiko diri sendiri. There's always tomorrow. ;)
So kepada bakal ibu, selamat menjalani bulan-bulan ini, semoga dipermudahkan segala urusan sebelum, semasa dan selepas kelahiran nanti. Amin.
