2nd trimester is a much better period for me. Although I do not have any cravings, I have food that i dislike such as ham, hotdogs. They r mainly processed food, well, thats fine!
One of the 1st things during my 2nd trimester was our babymoon trip to Hong Kong! We bought the air tix b4 I knew I'm pregnant, luckily, it happened during my 2nd trimester. We travel with my best friend and her hubby. They were very patient and understanding with me during the trip. I could not could walk as fast like b4 and needed more rest stops. In overall, we enjoyed our trip.
I felt my baby's 1st movements shortly after the trip. I was unsure whether it was bloatness of my stomach or was the movement. I tried to poke it and there was response. For the 1st time i was really physically feeling my little one in me.
Then, it was my 20weeks FA detailed scan for my baby! This time the radiographer checked for the fetus growth and development. We managed to find out our little precious is a girl too!
My feet started to get swollen at 5 months. Many people told me that it was too early to get swollen feet at 5 months. Suspecting might be water retention, I propped my feet with a pillow. My swollen feet subsided.
It was a festive season during 2nd trimester. Xmas and New Year's day. We were invited to 2 xmas parties. It was a gr8 time too meet up with my friends. Also toward the end, preparation for Chinese new year.
My birthday falls in Dec and had small celebrations with my friends and family too.
It was quite a busy 2nd trimester for me.
