u/Stoned-ThrowAway

Malapit na ako mag 2nd trim and so far I've been fortunate to have been spared from nausea (mga less than 5 times lang pero pag super rich/heavy yung nakain ko), extreme mood swings, and other typical/expected pregnancy symptoms except for being suuuuuuper sleepy as the weeks pass 😴 Nakakatulog naman ako ng 7-8 hours a night, sometimes more, and masarap naman tulog ko pero grabeeee ang bigat pa rin ng eyelids ko the whole day 🫩 the funny thing is that yun yung "nahawa" na symptom ng partner ko 😂 So the whole day nagrereklamo lang kami sa isa't isa na grabe yung antok namin hahahahah sabi na lang niya na we'll get sleep when we can and enjoy na lang namin yung pagtulog kasi baka hinahanda kami ni baby for sleepless nights 🤣

Anybody else experience their partner na "nahahawa" sa pregnancy symptoms?

I really can't tell kung kasama sa pagbubuntis to (because I have super minimal symptoms) or is it because I'm not open about my pregnancy yet kaya medyo irritable ako kasi I have to be careful with what I say, pero pansin ko mas masungit ako sa dati hahahaha 🥺 Di naman ako masungit na nagtatalak (unless you really push me) pero yung biglang tatahimik lang o di mamamansin tapos kunwari okay lang lahat pero yung totoo nagpapalamig lang ako ng ulo at ayoko magsalita ng kung anong di ko na pwede bawiin.

Like just the other day, nag-post yung isa kong friend (close kami but not close enough para sabihin sa kanya agad na buntis ako) nung friend anniversary sa FB tapos naka-tag ako. Ako nag heart naman & nag comment tapos bigla siya nag chat na "uy post mo rin!" eh parang 😵‍💫 di talaga ako mahilig mag post tsaka bakit ako inuutusan mag-post eh account ko naman to hahahaha buti naka-off read receipts ko so kunwari di ko nakita tapos maya maya nagsend na lang ako ng reels as I always do. She sent a few reels back but also replied to her own message like "hoy post mo!!" 💀 Again kunwari di ko na lang nakita pero bigla akong nagka ick sa kanya. I don't know if I'm just being sensitive or kung medyo annoying nga talaga, but lately nga talaga kahit maliit na bagay bigla akong nananahimik and di namamansin

From lurking on this sub and wishing that one day I'd be able to relate to what all of you are talking about to actually saving some posts for future reference now that I'm 8 weeks pregnant 🤍

I know that the actual learning will come with the firsthand experience, but it's nice to have an idea even before it happens. Right now, medyo may worries na ako sa social isolation because I believe I'll be the first in my circle of friends to have a baby and really, really want one. May mga anak man yung kapatid ko, siyempre iba pa rin pag kaibigan kausap mo at hindi pa kasama pamilya ko sa mga piling sinabihan ko (mas nauna pa kayong nakaalam hahahaha). But that's the least of my problems. Biggest worry ko ngayon siyempre (that sometimes keeps me up at night and not even my partner can calm my mind down) ay kung magiging healthy and safe ba baby ko, at kahit malayo/matagal pa, naiisip ko rin if I'll be the mama my baby needs and deserves... I guess the overthinking comes with being an FTM!

I'm especially curious about how Amb. Falcon, Amb. Rodriguez, Amb. Palacios, and Amb. Rueca are doing yes, I may be older than most of you and I won't be surprised if some of you don't know them. The last I heard, Amb. Rodriguez had a health scare(?) while I know Amb. Falcon has been dealing with health issues. I have no news on Amb. Palacaios and Amb. Ruecas as with my other professors. I often think of them in particular because I learned so much from them, not just academically but also in terms of character and work ethic.

EDIT added Amb. Palacios and Amb. Rueca!
