What's Happening?

Yesterday, 1st of April, Mark and I decided to finally go to Westfield to satisfy my cravings (yes, at 15 weeks I'm still having cravings. Is this normal?) for pretzels and frozen yoghurt. Since it's a bank holiday, some of the tube stations were closed for the day, so we opted for another route. Thankfully the mall closes at 9pm on that day, so we have plenty of time.

Upon arriving, mark asked me what I want to do first. While others would say, "let's shop!", my very first words were, "pretzels!", which made us both giggled. Ofcourse, were off to find my pretzels. No one messes with a hungry pregnant lady. Having the parmesan and cinnamon flavored pretzels on my hand, I let Mark guide the way. I'm not really in the mood for anything at that time, expect to get hold of those yummy pretzels.

yummy!

As for Mark, he was very eager to visit each and every shop and look for any bargains he could get. We did explore most of the shops. First stop was at Nike store where Mark was intrigue by the personalized shox Nike shoes. He had doubts buying so we proceed to the next store. Finally got to buy a few pieces on sale at Burtons. One happy Mark. Still not satisfied with his purchase, we managed to have our last stop at Next where he got a new pair of casual jacket, not on sale, but worth the price. Still a hungry pregnant me after finishing the 2 pretzels, we had our late lunch at Yo Sushi. (Forgot to take picture of the place  though) It was a bit pricey for a couple of maki, sashimi, yakisoba and tempuras but still a treat for our hungry tummy.

I was starting to feel a bit light headed at that time but I managed to finish my lunch. But I was envied by how Mark was munching through his food. How I wish I could eat that way again. It's just so frustrating that when I'm about to eat, I have all these thoughts that I'm gonna eat alot but when it's the actual eating time, I lose the appetite. What's going on? I thought this things would be over as long as I've gone passed the first trimester. I'm on my 15th week now but most of the morning sickness dilemmas are still there and some I've only experienced just now.

So, after having a tummy-filling lunch, we decided to go straight home as my headache is becoming worse. But then we came across a frozen yoghurt shop. Not to be missed ofcourse. Even though I'm totally full, I forced Mark to buy me the smallest size they have, just to satisfy my cravings, while I bought another set of parmesan and cinnamon pretzels to take home. One spoiled mom, that's me!

Refreshing!

I finished my yoghurt before we head home but my head was becoming worse and worse. I felt like it's beginning to crack. I was afraid that if I ride through the tube, I would vomit. Luckily I didn't. I just chewed on a few candies all throughout the travel and thankfully, we arrived home without creating a mess. When we arrived home, that's when I rushed to the toilet to vomit. It was alot, I think. I wasn't prepared to look at the things I vomited. Who would be eager to see those things? It was a very awful feeling.

It somehow eased my headache and uneasy feelings inside my chest but still there's the unwell feeling overall. I decided then to have an early evening. Cuddled on my bed with my pyjamas while listening to classical music to soothe my mind.

I was just thinking if having this headaches for quite sometime is normal for all pregnant women. I'm still not sure what's causing this. Is it something I ate, something to do with the weather or maybe something I did for the day. Also the vomiting, I hate it. I just wish it would stop. Then last easter sunday, 31st of March, I felt something that I've felt for the first time. After doing my usual ritual at the toilet, I ended up lightheaded in the room. My head was spinning, the sounds around me became really soft and I felt like I was in slow motion. Then suddenly I felt a pain on my chest and running through the back. Mark was worried because it can be a heart problem. After awhile, maybe 10-15 minutes, I was back to normal. Mark took my blood pressure and it was fine. What's wrong with me?

We are scheduled to meet with our midwife this 25th of April, so we're hoping to get some answers then. Praying that nothing is seriously wrong with me and my pregnancy.
