Morning sickness? What morning sickness?

I have been wondering who on earth actually invented the term "pregnancy glow" - because I don't think I have been glowing at all! To be very honest, my first trimester has been quite hard so far - I feel tired all the time, I have constant back ache, I feel nauseous and always end up throwing up around 7pm (yes! in the evening!).

So weird but true - and if I can describe my "day during this first trimester" - it will be like this :
Wake up at 3:00 AM because I desperately want to pee and then cannot sleep anymore. When I can finally catch some sleep, it's time to wake up and prepare myself to work. In the morning - I am like famished!I can eat one portion of fried beehoon and another set of kaya toast! After that the day just pass by as usual, except that I am actually feeling extra sleepy and tired (and the worst is I can't even have coffee!). When it's about 4:00 pm I will start feeling hungry again and I will start snacking. But then at around 5:00 pm, I will feel bloated. By the time I am sitting in a car to go home, I'd feel like puking already. And tada... I would hug the toilet bowl for about 15 minutes at 7:00pm.  

like that... every single freaking day!
So dinner is definitely something I am not so looking forward to - because I feel nauseous and I always have to think of what kind of food that I can actually digest without making me want to hug the toilet bowl again.

So bottom line is - I actually don't have cravings, it's mostly because I don't want to eat stuff that can potentially make me throw up. So far those would be yong tau fu, white bee hoon, deep fried stuff and chilli! Amazingly if I put chilli on my food, it tastes less "offensive" and my stomach can happily take it.

On the other hands - food that can potentially definitely make me want to puke includes ramen, all Japanese stuff (like sushi - not that I can eat them, but just by looking at them on screen already makes me want to puke! So I guess, lucky me!), pho and prawns.

So freaking unfair - because I used to like all of the above!
Just so you know - I still hate durian though. 

I told my husband that our baby is probably sleeping in US time, hence no morning sickness, instead it's always evening sickness for me.

Anyway, let's just see - hopefully second trimester is easier and smoother.
OK Baby P? High five!

Ciao.
