Another check up

Ytd went for a gynae check up at 17w 4d. Everything abt baby is gtg on well. Baby gain some weight, while mummy lose some weight. My last visit 4 wks ago measure me n baby at 69.5kg. Ytd my visit still weight us at 69.5kg. This is my first time where I never gain any weight for a mth in my pregnancy. Lucky baby gained weight.. so I assumed I have lost weight. After so many stressful week, filled with daily walking exercise, insufficient meal intake, unpeaceful sleep…

My Daily Walking Exercise
I have been spending 30min walking to WL’s childcare in the wkday mrng. After work, if I manage to catch colleague’s car ride, it’s a 10min walk to MIL’s hse plus another 20min walk back to my hse after dinner. I only get some days off when my hb is not working. Even some days, hb is lazy to fetch son. I’m very tired from all these walking. I heard tt the more we walked, the easier is labour, faster is the labour process, or even give birth earlier. I hope they are all true. Coz I’m sick of walking ard… I wan my 4mth maternity leave…

Insufficient meal intake.
I do take at least 3 meals a day. On wkdays, I even take 4 meals a day, including tea break. I’m very sick of the food ard my workplace. So even though I order mixed rice with 3 dishes, most of the time, I never left with half of the rice n some dishes uneaten. At nite at MIL’s hse, sometimes her cooking or her dishes is not up to my taste. I end up eating little rice too. Come wkend is also worst. The outside food are okay. But as I need to share my meals wif my son, I either end up eating 2/3, or I run out of appetite after feeding son wif his food. So I guessed I really lose a lot of appetite in this trimester.

Unpeaceful Sleep
I have failed to slp thru the night in this so called ‘honeymoon’ trimester. Sometimes son wake up wif nightmare, n I have to coax him back to sleep. If he don wake up, I still sudden wake up and rotate ard in bed at many times of the nite. It’s not that I have full bladder. I really don noe the reason. And my dawn, I always feel so tired tt I wan to slp more. On wkends, I cant slp more dan 8am, as son wake up at 7+, by 8am, he be screaming for his morning milk, or turning the hse upside down.

Oh.. not to mention I’m having work stress too! Given additional work load without pay rise. It’s not that my office is retrenching people. 1 colleague who has resigned, and has another new colleague who has replaced her position. Yet my boss wan to volunteer to take over some of her work scope. And I was given the assignment to deal with the taken-over work! My basic work is delayed, and another colleague keep pressing on me. I have so many workload suddenly, but I refused to do OT to clear all the jobs. Y shd I do wen I given the same amt of pay. I mean I don see it as any benefits to me for the additional work. It can always be allocated to other staffs beside me. Wat more is my boss who wan volunteer to do additional work… y I kena to clear her volunteered work!
