Thanks for taking one for the team!! Sounds like the video is Zoe talking tit for an hour!MY FIRST TRIMESTER ----(Watched it so you don't have to)
Intro:
First signs and symptoms of pregnancy:
- 58 minutes??? - lol -- thank God for x2 speed
- "I am going to try to do those time stamps" --- ladies and gents #1 Youtuber
- She watched lots of first trimester videos
- The first trimester was the biggest hurdle due to her Emetophobia
- She googled the most "positive first trimester experiences"
- She has not thrown up once during her first trimester
Fear of vomit in the first trimester:
- Bloating - struggling to her jeans on
- Cramping
- Shooting pains arms to boobs
- Metal taste
- Out of breath --- is that new? lol
- Nose bleeds
All first trimester symptoms week by week:
- "From the age of 15/16 I thought how will I deal with the first trimester" ---- so half her life? damn
- Her anxiety was so high
- Said she's "wanted this her whole life, but this was my biggest challenge"
- Don't go a forum
- Physically I felt sick, but didn't throw up - so nausea
- Having a lockdown helped her as she stayed home (like she would have not done that)
- Now shes wondering if she will throw up at the birth
- Her prep for nausea - Sprite chewing gum, worthers orginals --- ummmm
- She shared with a small select people during the first trimester
Things I Found Helpful:
- 4 - 7 weeks- very tired, going to bed at 4/5pm, waking up 9/10pm -- insomnia due to anxiety
- wk 4 - couldn't deal with dog food smell ---- Alfie had to do it -lol
- first couple weeks - broccoli, mash, strawberries and ready salted crisps
- "Broccoli was very short-lived" -- of course
- wk 5 - out of breath....you sure?
- Cold hands and feet
- 6 weeks - "sick when I am hungry, sick when I don't eat too much"
- Hating the smell of Nalas breath -------looooool
- wk 7 - teeth were sensitive and cold sores
- wk 8 - early scan -- porridge and biscoff bread for breakfast which lasted a while
- She wretched from picking things up, her dressing room, opening the fridge --- lasted to wk 13
- wk 11 - found it they were having a girl
- Cravings --- fruit??? bread sticks, dairlee dunkees, salt and vineger crisps, Mcdonalds chips, ,melted cheese,
Alfie's thoughts and feelings:
- Couldn't stand --- katsu curry, chocolate, toast
- Ate a lot: instant noodles, mash and gravy
- Helped wish nausea: chewing gum, sprite, mint, werthers orginals
- Emeterm bracelet for morning sickness
- Soft bristle toothbrush and Sensitive toothpaste
- Hard boiled sweets
- Alfie "Didn't really how much it took it out, if you are the partner for the first 4 weeks you are riding solo"
- Zoe "it was my instantness for things, we bickered about it"
- Alfie did say "we are very fortunate we work for ourselves" - just realised, but ok
- WK 15 - Was the turning point when Zoe made Alfie breakfast
- Zoe "I felt frustrated I couldn't do it myself" -- lool, ok
- Alfie (56:20) "Just how sexy and amazing it is like the movies trying for a baby and how great your sex life once your gf is pregnant"
- Zoe "sex in the first trimester, are you joking"!.......Alfie "or in the 2nd"
- She said "I am cutting this out, my nan watches this" but ofc you need dem juicy views
Anyways, pass me a drink....I have made it.....I wanted to tap out but did it for you bby gals
like someone else said, she has had it easy in comparison to what it could have been like and had the privilege of not *having* to do anything - she is so out of touch and unaware.
