Was at the gynae this week and baby is growing well on the scan. At the same time, mama is "growing well" too, which is not exactly a good thing haha.
Over the first trimester, i had put on total 7 kg. YES 7KG!! Your eyes read this correctly. No joke. This is probably 3 times more than what an average mom-to-be will gain in the first 3 months. But this should come at no surprise. All the food that i have not eaten in my past 30 years i had gobbled in my first 3 months.
The main culprit being high intake of carbohydrates. As i feel hungry so often, i tend to down much rice, noodles, hor fun, bee hoon so i feel "full" and satisfied. Doctor said so far i'm still ok in my weight but certainly i should stop eating like this otherwise there will really be no turning back!
The advice moving forward is to snack on wholemeal products, fruits and vegetables instead of plain white rice. So i guess the next time the hunger pangs come i should give the wanton mee a miss and just grab a digestive biscuit ...
As some kind of comfort, i also read from the baby book that moms should not be depressed with their new "shape", afterall we are not fat, we are just PREGNANT!! Haha very Ah-Q but it does work for me .... woahahaha ~~~
