CAN you remember the first person who knew about your pregnancy?
Remembering those times means a lot to us because pregnancy is a celebration of life. It's the start of our motherhood journey.
We learned we were pregnant three weeks after we got engaged. Everything was just weird and it would take me pages to tell you every detail of it.
But let me share with you how I knew I was pregnant. Nothing extraordinary happened to me, but I think sharing my experience might help 2 out of 10 ladies reading this. I also uploaded a vlog about this on my YouTube channel.
1. Delayed menstruation -- I took a home pregnancy test as soon as possible.
2. Gaining weight -- I was so conscious on this that I thought I would need to diet and exercise.
3. Hot flashes -- It was very humid indoor and outdoor.
4. Morning sickness -- I hate this part.
5. Sleepy head -- 8-10 hours of sleep seemed not enough.
6. Always thirsty -- I could consume up to 5 liters of water!
7. Cravings -- I did not have particular and weird cravings but I just wanted to eat everything that was on my social media newsfeed.
8. Frequent CR visits -- I have to release the liquid that I have been taking.
Ladies, every pregnancy is different. In case you are experiencing one or two symptoms mentioned here, a pregnancy test will really put your mind at ease. If it is positive, make an appointment with your OB to double check and you can begin with the prenatal care.
