So recently I've been reading many articles & info regarding the first trimester of pregnancy. Most experiences are the same but of course there are some incidents or difficulties one has to encounter. This might not be the case to others, but hey, there's always bumps in the road but that does not mean you won't reach to your destination, right?
Well, by now I knew that total care is super essential during the early stage. Not that I was not aware of before, but after experiencing it yourself, only then you would understand what it really means. It taught me not to do any heavy-lifts, don't be too aggressive, don't be stressed, watch out for bumps while you're driving, EAT ON TIME, and many other things should be considered BEFORE you are confirmed to be pregnant. This means, even if you haven't gone for the test, just to be on the safe side, avoid doing all those mentioned above (and few other things which should be common sense to normal people) until you are confirmed NOT PREGNANT. This is to avoid any unwanted incidents that could affect your pregnancy.
One of the not-too-rare cases is to bleed in the early pregnancy. It could due to implantation bleeding, which is not harmful but it could also lead to otherwise. The best thing to do when you experience spotting/staining (even just a little bit), just go for a checkup with your gynae and check the condition of your pregnancy. If the 'beanie' is still in there but you are still bleeding, it's sometimes called 'threatened miscarriage'. From the name itself, it sounds like just a threat but according to some, it's important to have a full bedrest at home, at least until the spotting is clear for a few days or till your gynae confirmed that your pregnancy is safe. Usually threatened miscarriage is a 50/50 chance. So better not to take any risk, just have a complete bedrest MOST IMPORTANTLY if you don't feel pain at all. Because I know it's difficult to just lie down in bed like a sick person, without actually being sick but trust me, it's all worth it.
Duphaston is a hormon replacement that might be a favourite option for some gynaes. I do not fancy any drugs, of course, but during this situation, I tend to balance out everything. After doing some investigation on that particular drug, I decided to stop consuming it especially when my own sister affirmed me that it has been discontinued in the UK for some reason. So the only 'medication' I took were just the Shuang Hor products. I took a high dosage of YungKien LingZhi, Pollen for the folic acid and nutrients, VitaKing to strengthen the muscle - avoid miscarriage, insya Allah, and Soy Protein for fetus development and growth. Alhamdulillah, after 1 week, my beanie showed tremendous improvement and I just can't wait for the first trimester to be over. Just so that I don't have to wake up feeling anxious every time. But all in all, my cravings are good. I eat like every 30 minutes and I drink every 5 minutes. No morning sickness so far and things are getting better day after day.
