Changes in MUM

During the first few months, mum was happily fitted into her loose pants and T-shirt. She continued to eat spicy food, seafood, etc. She didn't feel much of my existence.

In the second trimester, mum has to change into maternity pants with a kangaroo pouch and the lumpy maternity shirts. She started to to gain weight in the fifth month. Can you imagine? Mum gained 6 kilos in a month while I was only weighed 564 grams. A huge difference ya?

#1 Mum sleeps with 3 pillows - 1 for the head, 1 for the feet, 1 between the legs. According to experts, this will help to reduce leg cramps, water retention, etc.

#2 She started to change to sleep on the left knowing that this will help supply more blood/oxygence to me.

#3 Mum wakes-up more regularly at night bcoz of the larger uterus pressing on the bladder.

#4 Mum could no longer sit on a low couch that makes her difficult to get-up.

#5 Mum couldn't reach her feet during shower. Mum has serious heartburn recently after having heavy breakfast.....

#6 Mum is clumsier nowadays with the growing uterus and is off balance while walking. She feels tired easily nowadays.

Mama.... Jia You.....& dun get depressed with these changes. It's normal. You need to stay healthy to welcome me to this world.

Mum talks to me more frequently nowadays assuming I can understand her. ?????? I'm approaching 7 months now.
