Hi guys, it's Sam here. Thanks for joining me on my 6th week of pregnancy
So, this week I feel super pregnant
so I thought I was having pregnancy symptoms before but no this week morning sickness has kicked in and
major, major fatigue has kicked in and I'm bloated. It's just a whole whack of hormones through my body
It's crazy.
So, almost immediately on the first day of week 6 I started experiencing a lot of nausea
and it's kind of just progressed since then
So, it's not good.
So as soon as I wake up, I feel sick and if I eat a little bit, I feel better
and you know, they should not be calling it morning sickness
because, at least for me, I felt nausea pretty much all day
I do find that it does get better if I make sure that I'm eating all the time
So basically every hour I have to be eating some sort of snack
and I do find that that's kind of helped me manage my nausea
I have been lucky that I haven't thrown up yet
I'm hoping that I don't
But I also found that eating right before bed kind of helps with the morning sickness in the morning
because I do find that the nausea is the worst in the morning
so I just have to eat something right before bed as well
That means like when I go to bed at like ten o'clock
I have to eat something right before and that has helped quite a bit, just helping me manage it
So yeah, I guess that's what pregnancy is all about and I read that it will get better by the second trimester
Although some women do experience it throughout the whole pregnancy
So fingers crossed that that's not me and that I only have to put up with this for another few weeks.
So yeah, um another symptom that I've been having, as I said, is that I'm very, very tired
So yeah, I'm still taking naps every day pretty much
and the time that I take the nap kind of fluctuates,
so sometimes I take it at 12:00 sometimes 2:00 sometimes 6:00.
So it's -- basically, I just listen to my body. I just go to bed when I feel like I need to
Oh yes, the other symptom I've been having is I've been extremely bloated.
I look like I'm five months pregnant, but I'm not.
and I keep reading and keep googling, "Oh, can you show at six weeks" and you can't. It's bloat.
But it's kind of crazy
I've never been this bloated before, even in the morning when I get up
like usually you would think your stomach wouldn't be that bloated
but I wake up bloated and I go to be bloated
So, that with me -- that's me.
Those are kind of my main symptoms along with the other symptoms that I've had since week 3
so the sore boobs, thirst,
hunger, not so much just because I do feel pretty sick,
but I have been able to eat whatever I want, which is nice.
I haven't had any food aversions
I haven't had any cravings either
so I've been able to eat. I kind of eat through the nausea
Because once I eat I do feel a bit better, so I just force myself.
So that's good, at least I'm able to do that. I know a lot of women aren't able to do that
Yeah, so let's check in on how baby's doing this week
so
Checking my "Bump" app first
So baby is as big as a sweet pea. 6.4 millimeters
which is crazy that's almost double in size from last week
and what it says on the pregnancy plus app is the little one now has a two chambered heart
which basically looks like a tube and twisted back onto itself
Although it's too early to hear, the heart starts beating.
The baby's spinal cord is forming. Neural tube starting to close
Baby's shaped like a tadpole
Earliest signs of arms and legs can be seen as tiny little bulges on the side of their body
and baby's growing a thin layer skin to cover everything up
So super cute
It's just crazy to think how small this little baby is and that
It's gonna be a human being. It's like -- it's just weird
But yeah, so that's what's going on in this week of pregnancy
Thank God, I haven't had any sort of complications this week compared to the last two weeks
there was always something that came up.
But this week, apart from all the nausea, everything's been pretty smooth sailing
And yeah, I'm just excited to kind of get to the second trimester and start feeling better
But I'm just kind of taking it one day at a time
I know everyone says that pregnancy flies by and just to enjoy every moment of it
I kind of feel like it's not really flying by for me
But maybe it's just the first trimester when you're feeling really sick that things really seem to go super slow
Yeah, so that's my update for this week
