I just took the sugar test yesterday and failed. So tomorrow, I’ll be taking the follow-up glucose challenge test.

I’ve only began to gain enough weight because I stopped holding back on my cravings. If I fail this second test, it means that I have developed gestational diabetes and may need to be on a special diet. Well that’s gonna be tricky. How am I going to cut down on starchy and sweet food and still keep gaining enough weight to keep up with baby’s growth? That may be too tricky for me to handle so I’d probably seek the help of professionals at nutritional medicine. Maybe I should also start seeking for diet pills in case I gain a little too much weight and can’t manage to keep it off after delivery. Maybe.

What’s really happening in a pregnant woman’s body? I wish doctors can tell you exactly what to expect but no, it’s different for everyone.

As for me, I never thought I’d get food aversions instead of food cravings. That could feel really weird for a food lover like me. I mean, all of a sudden I don’t enjoy eating anymore. I’m eating for survival, for health, no longer for enjoyment.

It’s been weeks since I last checked my weight. I don’t think I’m gaining any. I’m almost halfway my third month. In a few weeks, I’ll have to keep track of my weight gain to make sure that my baby is also growing at a normal rate.

Didn’t expect weight gain would be a problem for me during pregnancy. If anything, I’ve thought of what I would do to lose weight after giving birth. I’ve even done some reading on thermogenic fat burners online. But I’m setting that aside for a moment. Being pregnant is like preparing for a huge exam. There’s a lot to learn, a lot to remember, and there’s a time limit. So for now I’m gonna have to catch up on reading the “pregnancy bible.” I’ll deal with excess fat later. I’m licensed to be oversized right now. ;p
