With my growing tummy & trouble free time. We traveled to many places within Malaysia. I was given lot of privilages like preferential seat, sufficient place in the lift, no waiting in Qs for toilet, even the parking space just coz my car wore a board 'Pregnant mom on board'. At work place I was very happy and I was given a key for personal clean toilet.
Soon I was given greatest surprise by my loving husband.. It was "Baby showers". A grand party where many friends & family who came from India were there. It was real pampering.. I enjoyed every bit of it. Especially wonderful gifts some for me n some for my girl.
I had regular ante natal checkups every month . I underwent anomaly scan & gender scan. Everything was perfectly ok.. And my obstetrician said 'Its going to be a girl and she has really long legs lah'.. I could see the real happiness in my husband's face. He gently squeezed my hand and very cutely said.. ' I had told u'.. We partied over the weekend except booz..
Few things I took upmost care during this time were
1. Continued with my iron & vitamins medication
2. Completely stopped having cocktails
3. No high heels.. I feared falls because of my weight.
4. Eat mini meals frequently
5. Eat mostly organic
6. Avoid fish. I feared mercury poisoning
7. Big no to tiramusu..( ( I miss u)
8. No sushi
9. No Sauna
10. I continued exercising .. I walked atleast 1km daily.
11. Had oil massage by mom's traditional methods. Took baths in luke warm water.
12. Buy good maternity clothes with nursing also.
13. Read books which ever( I read all volumes of Harry potter once again).
Thus my 2nd trimi ended quite fast.. Then started my bad time again in 3rd trimister..
