Can you really feel the hiccups of your baby?

It's just so weird because I've been feeling this frequent patterned throbbing movements in my belly. It lasts for a minute or two and I'm just curious because it happens very frequent nowadays - starting from my 24th week. I know it's normal but I also know the feeling of having it and seriously I don't like hiccups. I always say "Kawawa naman si Baby, hiccups nanaman!".

Oh well, I just hope my baby's all good inside.

Well hello there, dark armpits!

There are a whole lot of skin changes during pregnancy, especially the darkening of your underarms. Even before I got pregnant I already know that it can happen to me. Sure I was prepared for this but I still scream now every time I look at my armpits in the mirror after shower. My eyes can’t believe how dark they are! I even spent around 50K years back for a laser treatment at Facial Care Center plus Skin Master at Belo only to find out it’ll be so freakin’ bad during pregnancy! Goodbye $$$, goodbye white armpits! People say it usually … USUALLY… disappears on their own after delivery, so I’m crossing all fingers for that.

7 months and still driving…

When I got pregnant I first thought I couldn’t drive at all. I was thinking maybe it’ll be too stressful for me and since my pregnancy is considered “high risk”, I thought I will be bound to stay at home for the most part. I gave a timeline for myself that I will only drive until December but I’m surprised that my pregnancy isn’t affected by driving, especially if you’re driving an automatic car. The key is to not overdo it, consult your OB first and wear your seat belt all the time!

I’m happy that I can still go out and have some fun shopping, watching movies, driving around the city, going to places, parties etc. Although it’s so true that you feel tired all the time! A little walking feels very tiring already plus the dilemma of going to the restroom every 30 minutes is really exhausting! I’m planning that on January - 8^th month, I’ll start to take things easy. I should be relaxing more and preparing for the coming of Baby G! I hope to finish my checklist before December! Weee! Exciting!
