Here's a picture of me at Caleruega on August 8, 14.5 weeks on the way. We did a lot of uphill and downhill walking which probably caused the small uterine contraction my OB saw during my check-up on Tuesday. Now I'm on rest mode (which means I cannot join my family on Sunday to a Subic trip) until probably my next OB visit on September 5. I was prescribed some relaxant if I feel some cramping similar to dysmenorrhea. So far there is no need to take the med. Thank God!
We heard Baby Dot's heartbeat (at 144bpm) and I couldn't help but smile :) No I didn't cry but the running-horse like sound was overwhelming. Ane was too shy to record it though, maybe next time. Dot's size now is more or less 5 inches and actively moves...and is within the average size for it's age. I'm glad to hear that since I've been worrying about my weight and not being able to eat. Doc A assured me that Dot is healthy and that I'll just have to wait until my appetite returns (when Ane will have a hard time stopping me from eating LOL!). This means, Dot probably gets all the nutrition I eat that's why I'm not gaining weight and I look thin. I did gain a pound though since my last visit.
Another concern I had were the headaches I get in the afternoons 'til nighttime. I was prescribed additional Vitamin B Complex and was advised to stay away from Chocolates (argh!). I will have to let go of Gerber for Moms (since it only comes in Chocolate) and take Anmum or Enfamama instead. Ugh. I hate milk. But anything for Dot, sigh.
Lastly, I've been breaking out in the face and my back. Pimples! Hormones! And there's nothing I can do but accept that it's normal :(

wow! looking good! take care - don't tire yourself out too much, ako rin ganyan noon, wait siguro until you're somewhere in the middle of your 2nd trim before ka maggagala hehehe :) and tell your husband, wag na mahiya i-record and heartbeat, all dads-to-be are like that! :) bibilis at lalakas pa yan in the coming months!
ha ha ha aliw din ako sa running-horse sound na yan from the doppler.
halata na talaga si baby dot
hi nikki, naku next time kukulitin ko talaga siya to record :D my OB allowed that trip kaso hindi pala niya alam na uphill yung caleruega (oh well, i didn't explain naman kasi before she said yes hehe). i'm definitely resting muna...
hi mami purple pig! can't wait to hear the sound again! :)
felt guilty after reading this...:(
hope you're doing well now. Ingat lagi!
hey pho! don't be! i actually overstressed myself when we went to the picnic area without a car. :) Dot and I are doing perfectly okay...
hugs!
