Journey: 12/40 : Bloating

Every pregnancy is unique. And every labor xperience is also unique. Bab labor tu ibu takleh nak cerita lagi la kan sbb blom waktunya. Yang boleh kongsi, pregnancy xp lah just so far.

2nd pregnancy symptom yang paling ketara is bloating. Mak aii. Asal nak ke petang je perut mngeras semacam jek. It's a common thing during first trimester, either over ke tak over je lah. Mase preknenkan afiq, ibu ada jgk problem bloating ni. Tp tak ketara la. Bese2 je lah. In fact mase tgh selalu kembung tu, ibu blom tau pon preknen. Confirmation preknen mase afiq adalah pada mggu yang ke-12. Very the lambat kan? Huhuhu. Mmg tak rase ape lasung, morning sickness plak xde. So igt perut masuk angin je. And igt perubahan hormon jgk sbb baru kawen sgt-sgt kan, and ibu slalu jgk miss period especially bln pose. Huhu. So duk sapu minyak yu-yi je lah keje nye kat perut. Tak elok kan? Dats why la kot afiq panas nak kuat cepat je, and first trimester tak cukup vita and duk pulun air gas je kat umah org time raya. Huhu..Ampun afiq. Mbesar bagai juara ok? :)

So, blaja dr pengalaman lepas, mase awal2 ade simptom bloating, ibu dah suspicious, preknen ke nih? Anak kedua ni dah pandai sket la kan. Huhu. Tp 2nd pregnancy pye bloating lg hebat. Mukin masa afiq, ibu sorang2 kat JB, so mind tu auto-berdikari. Sakit sikit2 pon bole bo layan je. Kali ni, mngada2 jgk lebih, tau ade ayah kan. Bloating sikit pon jadi banyak. Haha..Tp series, asal balik keje je, perut dah rase tak sedap. Bile dah camtu, mula la selera makan hilang. Mukin transition drpd lunch to dinner tu agak lame compare to bekfes to lunch. Plus, ibu plak bkn jenis yg suke amik snack in between. Bkn reti nak makan kit kat ke, biskut ke saje2 gtu. Tp kali ni cube2 jgk la telan kurma ke kismis ke kat opis tu.

Bkn skjp2 bloating ni. Sapai 3,4 jam boleh jadi. Nak solat pon kdg2 very terkemut-kemut sbb asek nk kuar angin jek. Huhuhu..Bile kita dah kaver ngn makan pon, bkn boleh hilang terus bloating ni. Sbb mase preknen, digestion kite slow sbb tekanan uterus kat usus bla-bla. Something like that la. So even lps makan pon, take some time to hilangkan bloating. So spatutnye, prevent dlu before jd. Tp ibu jadi dlu br nak cari solution. Huhu..Perut jadi extra buncit, mcm 4,5 bln preknen ok. Penah ayah sapai sound kat ibu, aik, besar dah perut. Huhu..

Sbg info bersama, ibu share what expert says about bloating:

What causes bloating during pregnancy:

Cause by the progesterone. While progesterone is essential for maintaining a healthy pregnancy, it also triggers that oh-so-delightful trio: bloating, burping, and farting. Why? Progesterone causes the smooth muscle tissue in your body (including the gastrointestinal tract) to relax. This slows down digestion, giving the nutrients from food you eat more time to enter your bloodstream and reach your baby. That's the good news. The bad news is this slower metabolism can cause bloating.

What to do about bloating during pregnancy:

• Eat right and drink plenty of water to avoid becoming constipated, which can aggravate bloating.
• Opt for smaller meals that don't overload your digestive system. Aim for six small meals a day, rather than three large ones.
• Slow down (see, your mom was right). When you eat too quickly, you often swallow air, which can form gas pockets in your belly. Chew food thoroughly to give digestion a head start — not only will you make your mother happier, but your tummy as well.
• Try to relax. Tension can also cause you to swallow air, both during meals and during the day. Don't talk turkey over your turkey sandwich if it'll get you stressed.
• Avoid gassy foods such as cabbage, beans, fried foods, onions, or anything that affects your particular digestive tract in a painful or musical manner.

Nuff about bloating. Cerita pasal progress baby plak.

So far, ibu masih blom buat buku merah lagi, sbb kat klinik Utm ni week 14 baru boleh buat. So tggu la lg 2-3 mggu..

Sejak week 8-10 lagi dah boleh rase small bump kat perut. Beza mase 1st preknen, lambat baru prasan ade bump. Perut pon mcm besar sket anak 2nd ni ek. Dah segan nak pakai kebaya. Sbb time2 ni org tak kan kata preknen, meke akan assume muncit ok. So tak nak lah camtu. Haha.

Anak kedua mmg akan kurang kasih sayang sket ke? Sbb kali ni mcm tenggelam di tgh2 kesibukan kerja je. Kasih syg dr ayah pon same. Ye lah, klu dulu malam2 xde nak buat ape, bole la menempel kat perut ibu dlu, talk-talk. Tp skang kene tidurkan si anak sulung plak. Nak-nak jenis yang ayah tido dlu sblm anak. Huhu. Terabai la anak lam perut ni. Sbb tu lah kdg2 time ayah mngaji, ibu sibuk duk mngendeng2 sket, bagi anak kedua dia ni kenal sket sore pok dia lagu mana..Nasib anak kedua mmg lagu tu kot. Sbb tu lah anak kedua ni daya keberdikarian dia lagi tinggi. Ehem-ehem.

Afiq? Whoooaa..Semakin mjadi anak ayah. Even ngn ibu pon sgt-sgt la dengki. Ibu tak boleh nak menempel sikit pon sblh ayah. Time tgk tv malam2, ibu nak jgk meleseh-leseh, di manja dan dibelai. Auwww. Tp mmg xde can lah. Di amuk nye ngn afiq ade lah. Klu lepas amuk tu die melekat kt sblh bapak dia xpe la jgk. Ni bila kite dah beralih, elok je die gi main ngn toys dia. Sakit tak hati? Very the dengki ini budak. Lantak hang la afiqun. Ibu ade anak baru nanti insyaAllah. La la la..

Tp klu dpt anak bapak jgk? Pasrah jek la..

Mama mat delan dah selamat lahirkan baby gal. Ibu blom ade successor lagi ni. Cepat2, sapa nak smbung?
