I started researching about healthy foods for pregnant women. I specifically tried to eat foods that will avoid if not, totally eliminate the dreaded morning sickness. It was difficult controlling the puking part actually.
However, I started my morning with yogurts, flavored mostly and some water. Lemon lime juice to keep me cool. I also started drinking 900ml of orange juice for at least 2 days. Walnuts, cherries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and some grapes are always on hand. I make sure my stomach has food so I will not feel queasy. I checked with my ob-gyne on May 24th with my U/S scan on hand. Since I have a history of PCOS, she was thrilled that we succeeded in healing my ovaries that are threatening to be infertile. I am 34 going 35 this year so we both think that its a very, very ripe age for motherhood. She gave me folic vitamins and medicine to ensure the sac will stick to my uterus and to avoid any miscarriage. Of course, she trust me that this will be a successful pregnancy since I am a very obedient patient who takes my medicines on the dot.
I'm currently on my 5 weeks as of today and I am excited to hear Peanut's heartbeat for tomorrow's U/S (ultrasound). I keep my fingers crossed that Peanut will be a very healthy, strong and smart baby in the next 8 months.
My cousins asked me why I call the embryo "Peanut"... well it kinda look like a peanut when I first saw the U/S scan, so I guess the name stuck.
