Hey Zesties š!
I am in the midpoint of my 3rd trimester and Iāve breezed through 2nd tri - no wonder people say the 2nd tri is honeymoon. Most of my symptoms in my 1st tri also started to go away in the middle of my 2nd tri so I was able to eat better.
BUT HERE COMES THE 3RD TRI š„
Iāve heard that every body and pregnancy is different but what I didnāt realise how different..
1ļøā£ Comeback of the Random Nausea
Just when I thought that the nausea went away for good, it came back all of a sudden in the first week of the 3rd tri. Then after that it went away for a while and out of nowhere it came back again 2 weeks ago. I now just bring a small plastic bag wherever I go just because I donāt know when it will hit.
2ļøā£ Pregnancy Insomnia
Everyone keeps telling me - you should sleep more before the baby comes. BUT GUESS WHO IS HAVING INSOMNIA?! š¤Ø Itās either I couldnāt fall asleep (even though I feel like my body is so tired), or I would wake up in the middle of the night to pee and then I would be wide awake š«„
I am not even having caffeine on some days (and on days that I do, I drink max 1 cup in the morning). There was this one prenatal yoga class that I went that I suddenly realise that all the pregnant mummies in their 3rd tri were all not sleeping well.. I was like how come Iāve never heard of this?!
Even with the pregnancy pillows, itās not being uncomfortable - I just canāt seem to fall asleep..
3ļøā£ Travelling while pregnant is tough
I had my last work trip in my first week of 3rd tri and I didnāt realise how tough it was to be travelling. It was more about how uncomfortable it was during the flights - and how I keep trying to find toilets while on the go.
On the flight during the service time the moment the food came out I smelled the food and I felt š¤¢ even though it looked good. For the whole 1st trimester I didnāt even have much food aversion so I was quite shocked by that too. Thank God that the flight was a short haul one, my back probably would not take it.
4ļøā£ Pins and needles in my hands
I started having random pins and needles in my hands from 32 weeks onwards and I was a bit puzzled. I thought it was because now that I can only sleep on my side, my hands are under the pillow. I would try to shake it out but it would randomly come back so I donāt think it was from the sleeping. I googled and apparently itās quite a common thing.. itās called Carpal tunnel syndrome. Iām just trying to massage it out and drink more water to help manage it.
5ļøā£ Iām starting to nap again
I thought when I entered 2nd tri I stopped napping because I wasnāt so tired. But since the start of 32 weeks, I started taking my naps again. I think it might be because I am not sleeping well through the night but also I think the body is just tired as the belly gets bigger. I also found out that napping is good for the baby and linked to healthier birth weight so if I can I will!
+1 weird one
6ļøā£ Random patches of redness on my face
This is not exclusive to 3rd tri but I started to see this from the mid of 1st tri onwards that I would get random red patches on my face. It is very strange because Iāve never ever seen this before. Itās not like itās itchy or itās painful. I usually donāt feel anything until someone tells me about it. Initially I thought I had some allergy and I started to take note of what I was eating but then I realised that I really donāt know what caused it. Iāve asked my gynae before and she said that itās not a big issue if itās not itchy / painful. It is just sometimes a bit embarrassing when this random red patch appears from nowhere. I just hope that it goes away after I give birth.
Just never knew that thereās all these weird symptoms and things that happens.. Indeed every body and every pregnancy is different.
A few more weeks till I see baby and hopefully the symptoms are manageable! Cheering on all the preggy mummies as well! š«¶š»
