Second Go

It's always harder the first time.
True enough.
Though as for my pregnancy, second time IS tougher but smoother all the same.
Tougher as I have a toddler at hand on top of my growing tummy.
Smoother as I don't seem to be having much issues as I did with my first.
My Hb was fine. The lowest was just recently at 10.9. But I have been skipping my Sangobion so that's expected. Being more compliant now :)
As for the stretch marks, the first time around I wasn't really convinced with prevention. Haha. And there's this article saying if you're gonna get it, you're gonna get it. No creams or oil will help you.
But surprisingly, it does help. Applying Bio-Oil twice a day from early pregnancy this time around, I can see the old ones reducing and no new ones coming in Alhamdulillah.
As for keeping the house in order. Much much much better. (Ok, how does that relate to being pregnant, I do not know)
But maybe the realization that things are gonna be different after this kept my perspectives somewhat better attuned. I cook more, laundry are handled much more efficiently than before Adam was around, I sweep more, I shop more, haha. Mommy rocks!
Cengengness more or less the same, but recovery is so much better!
Husband is always there and all ears :) lovelovelove him for that. Sangat!

Alhamdulillah for the blessings, the energy and countless nikmat and rahmat.
Alhamdulillah.
