Let me tell you, travelling while pregnant - NOT EASY!!
My usual energetic self - well, quite the opposite, as I was tired very easily.
I was always hungry and thirsty, so I had crackers and a bottled water in my bag!
I was extra careful where I walked since it was raining like crazy in Hong Kong.
The food I ate, I had to watch! I couldn't just buy from just anywhere!
Shopping? Well - to be honest, I was quite depressed. This is because I couldn't purchase anything that isn't for maternity because I knew that in a few weeks time, I might not be able to fit in them anymore.
Thus - I shopped for some maternity clothes. Pants, Capris, Tops and a dress.
Now, I understand why pregnant women complain that they do not have a decent place to shop for nice clothes! Thank goodness for H&M for they have a maternity line!!
Panget and I were deciding whether to go to the World Expo in Shang-Hai, I begged off the trip because I knew that I would have a hard time walking, and waiting in line..
Another thing? I experienced spotting on my second to the last day! Hong Kong's pharmacies were very strict on prescription drugs and so I just had to rest and be extra careful! The next day, I felt my lower back hurt! It felt and looked like the left portion of my lowerback was swollen! And every time I walked - it felt like a vein on my lowerback was caught in something. It was terrible!!
Good thing, we were already on our way home to Manila.
After a good night's sleep - lowerback pain was no more. Thank goodness!
My Panget and I went to the doctor and good thing, everything was normal!! :)
OMG Didi I can't believe I'm just finding out now that you're pregnant hahaha! A belated congratulations to you and your hubby! Take care and follow doctor's orders :)
