Mommy cannot smell cooked Onion, raw meat and any other still not identified smell. It means Mommy cannot cook. So Daddy had to do his own cooking every night or morning. When he does, Mommy will have to lock the bedroom door, open all windows in the dining room and kitchen and hide under the blanket to make sure, no Onion smell can penetrate mommy's smelling sense. Most of the time it didn;t help. Mommy will just throw up anyway.
As for eating, Mommy will eat very little but often. And it will only be Banana or hot bubur. Sometimes mommy eat daddy's cooking when the smell says alright. Daddy was very good to cook his food and mommy's, clean the house, wash the clothes and then go to Uni and study.
As for raw meat, Mommy then realize how yucky the raw meat smell. Mommy enjoys food dear, also meat. So being off meat came as a surprise. Every time Mom and Dad went for our weekly shopping, Mommy always avoid the meat and seafood section. The smell or wait.... Just the thought of the smell send mommy on vomiting fits.
Around this time, Mommy also like to have Cinnamon Swirl that were sold at Budgen Store near the Station. But this didn;t last long. Soon Mommy associate this taste as vomit as well.
Now, usually pregnant woman will have certain craving or what Indonesian refer as "Ngidam".
Mommy craved for Sambel Kelapa and Ketupat Air. Which is a traditional dish and nowhere in UK we can find the right coconut so that we can make it ourselves. Daddy teased Mommy so much that in one occasion, Mommy cry so hard over the most wanted food. Daddy has the picture in his laptop which Mommy refuse to post here due to the state of ugliness in Mommy's crying face. This is a surprise because Mommy doesn't really like Sambal Kelapa nor Ketupat Air.
Anyway, after we have settled at our new house with Jan and Rusty. We dealt with all the address changing for our health service benefits. Thus, we can proceed with antenatal care and service.
What the Book says about this phase?
By the time you are six to seven weeks pregnant, there is a large bulge where the heart is and a bump for the head because the brain is developing. The heart begins to beat and can be seen beating on an ultrasound scan. Dimples on the side of the head will become the ears, and there are thickenings where the eyes will be. On the body, bumps are forming that will become muscles and bones, and small swellings called limb buds show where the arms and legs are growing. At seven weeks the embryo has grown to about 10mm long from head to bottom. This measurement is called the ‘crown-rump length’.
While you may be feeling ill during 8 weeks pregnant your little bean is thriving! By 8 weeks pregnant the small tail your baby developed in early pregnancy slowly evaporates. In the upcoming weeks your baby will develop eyelids. During pregnancy week eight your babies legs and arms grow longer and longer, helping your baby look more proportional inside your womb. During this time your baby's brain also continues to mature and grow, as nerve cells start connecting or talking to one another. These nerve cells will allow your baby to communicate after birth.
While 8 weeks pregnant your baby's lungs are also working diligently to mature. It will take a minimum of 36 weeks however for your baby's lungs to develop well enough to allow your baby to breathe comfortably on his own. One of the more serious complications premature infants face is immature lungs. Fortunately modern medicine has afforded doctors many treatments that can help stimulate lung development if mothers experience premature labor.
