we had our monthly check-up this morning, and lumabas na rin yung results ng biopsy...
friends, salamat sa mga prayers nyo... the lump is benign. it's a lactoadenomachuvachuva. basta hindi sya cancerous. Thank God! nakahinga na ko ng maluwag!
another good news is lahat ng nararamdaman ko sa pregnancy ko ay normal naman daw. now i have names for them: the pinching pain sa lower back at wetpu ko lalo na pag naglalakad is called "sciatica", yung pains sa belly na parang hilab ng magkaka-diarrhea is called "braxton hicks contraction", at ang sakit sa bulsa dahil sa dami ng tests is called "sure-turn-us-into-cash-cows-just-make-sure-our-baby-is-healthy syndrome". =)
my blood pressure seemed to have normalized as well. good thing my low-sodium-when-i-can-help-it diet is working. i need to keep active pa rin, para hindi lang sa diet makuha yung pagbaba ng blood pressure ko.
on the flip side, my doctor told me to watch what i eat, dahil i am gaining weight twice as fast as i should be. in the last 4 weeks, i gained 10 lbs. normal weight gain at this stage of a pregnancy is just 4 lbs!!!! pistoy! wag kang masyadong matakaw! *lol*
i should really watch what i eat na, dahil i still have (ideally) 14 more weeks to go. right now, i've already gained 24 lbs, and if i am to gain 1 lb a week, that's a total of 38 lbs. ideal weight gain is just 25-35 lbs. ang hirap ng math when it involves weight.
my diet plan includes:
- limiting chocolate intake to an equivalent of 1 serving per week.
- drinking water instead of fruit juices. orange juice might be an exception. i think among the fruit juices i drink, it's got the lowest sugar content, and no sodium too.
- eating dinner earlier. no more 9 or 10 pm dinners. if i get hungry between dinner and bed time, there's the glass of milk or a yogurt.
- go back to eating for 1, and stopping when i'm full. =P
- more fruits and veggies, less rice and bread. pasta, i am still battling my wills about it. hehe!
- be more vigilant sa pagtingin ng labels. i've started doing this nung nag-elevate yung blood pressure ko. i think it's a good thing, so i might continue to do this even after pregnancy.
- indulge once in a while. =D
well, i was thinking of starting the new diet plan today. but i decided i'll start tomorrow. what made me decide? bday ng officemate ko and we got her a chocolate bday cake. there. =)
