Semalam keluar dinner ngan family in law. Lokasi: Restoran Kahfi Wakaf Bharu. Ikan bakar, sotong celup tepung, kailan masin, tomyam, fresh orange. Alhamdulillah.... rezeki anak... saya tak muntah..yey! Cuma terus lelap dalam kereta on the way home.
camne ye nak ilangkan sakit belakang ngan sakit bontot ni.. aiii...
Your wee baby is now comparable in size to a plum!
Go ahead... we'll wait while you run to the kitchen and hold
one in your hand to marvel at the life form unfolding inside of you.
Your baby's favorite game right now is exploring their face
and especially their mouth.
Not only does this game improve your child's newly acquired
voluntary muscle coordination of their limbs, but it also starts hard-wiring
their hand nerves for newly gained sensations as they're now able to experience
in their hands, because their palms can now "feel"!
Extensive facial exploration also primes their facial nerves
by setting the stage for a lifetime of subtle sensations from kissing to
spitting!
Final interesting fetal developments for the week: their
newly acquired swallow reflex, and the beginnings of a sense of smell, which
when combined with their maturing taste buds, will provide your baby with their
first experiences of taste and smell in the womb.
Yeah, we're also curious what wombs smell like. We'd like to
think warm and homey, which just might be the smell of freshly baked cookies.
And How's Mom Doing?
If you're still enduring the dubious joys of morning
sickness, it should finally be subsiding to the point of non-existence by the
end of this week.
If your nausea's not subsiding, we're sorry, but you might
be one of the unlucky 1% with Hyperemesis Gravidarum - in which you puke every
day pretty much till you give birth. You can find out more about hyperemesis
gravidarum here.
For the rest of you no-longer pukers, the growing placenta
combined with your little one's developing pituitary gland have given you a
break on hormone production, so now you can focus on the fact you're about to
enter the second trimester (aka "when you become a lumbering human pod")
of pregnancy.
At this point you should be well on your way to making a
conscious effort to gradually increase your consumption of healthy, vitamin-rich
food, but remember: THIS DOES NOT MEAN LIFE IS NOW AN OPEN BUFFET.
Actually, it's quite the opposite, there is no other time in
life where it's absolutely critical that you be a food snob, and one who only
ingests the cleanest, purest, healthiest of foods.
It's pretty obvious if you think about it: if it's not good
for you (and fast food, junk food, and greasy and/or other processed and
preserved foods are NOT good for you, no matter how tasty they seem), then it
won't be good for your developing baby.
Eating Tip: If you're still hungry after dinner, don't
default to having extra ice cream for dessert. Try skipping the non-nutritious
options and opt for a more filling and protein-loaded handful of almonds.
So if you haven't yet gotten the message: good nutrition and
an active lifestyle are absolutely vital for your baby's brain and body
development.
Last thoughts for the week: make sure you’re taking "me-time"
to center yourself and focus on your body's interactions with your baby. You
can do this by listening to relaxing or inspiring music, reading good books, thinking
happy thoughts - you know - all the mentally stimulating stuff that puts you in
a good mood and makes your pregnancy feel like a positive experience.
