The nausea was finally gave way, the vomitting almost entirely gone. By this time I can almost eat anything, just like before the pregnancy. As the result I gained weight of almost 4kg each month. The obgyn finally gave a warning. She said to avoid getting too much weight too fast for there was a risk of having pre-eclampsia. She then monitor my blood preassure making sure that there was no hypertension and later on checked for signs of unusual swelling. The obgyn then told me that for the rest of the pregnancy I should only gain half a kilogram (1 pound) for each week.</p>
<p>I went home and search the internet for pre-eclampsia and found these information:<br />

<blockquote><p>Preeclampsia is a disorder that occurs only during pregnancy and the postpartum period and affects both the mother and the unborn baby. Affecting at least 5-8% of all pregnancies, it is a rapidly progressive condition characterized by high blood pressure and the presence of protein in the urine. Swelling, sudden weight gain, headaches and changes in vision are important symptoms; however, some women with rapidly advancing disease report few symptoms.<br />
Typically, preeclampsia occurs after 20 weeks gestation (in the late 2nd or 3rd trimesters or middle to late pregnancy), though it can occur earlier. Proper prenatal care is essential to diagnose and manage preeclampsia. Preeclampsia, Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) and toxemia are closely related conditions. HELLP Syndrome and eclampsia are other manifestations of the same syndrome. It is important to note that research shows that more women die from preeclampsia than eclampsia and one is not necessarily more serious than the other.<br />
Globally, preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a leading cause of maternal and infant illness and death. By conservative estimates, these disorders are responsible for 76,000 maternal and 500,000 infant deaths each year.<br />

<p>Boy, I never thought that indulging myself would mean such a terrible risk. Afterwards, I tried to eat properly. Tried to avoid junk food, sugary beverages and all kinds of salty snacks. It was a real challenge for I loved them all. But then again I’ve got a baby inside of me, and I should be eating righ for the both of us.</p>

Where you get the positive mark on the test pack and your husband hugged you and kissed you? Yeah been there …and here is a lot more.</p>
<p>I thought my first pregnancy was bad. I had to stay in bed all day long during the first trimester. I quit my job, literally. I’ve experienced what the medics called all day sickness. I felt sooo miserable. Threw up every meal that passed through my throat. Hated the smell of garlic, my own perfume and the smell of my husband.  I was totally depressed.</p>
<p><span id="more-1"></span>I thought it was never gonna be over. I lost weight instead of gaining. When I asked my friends who was also pregnant at that time no one was having the same symptoms. Of course this information has gotten me more depressed. My thoughts were “what is wrong with me?” When I asked the obgyn she said it was normal. I got a little encouraged. She advised me to eat small portion of meal roughtly 5 to 6 times a day rather than eat big portion three times a day.</p>

<p>There were only few menus that could pass through my throat. One of them was cheese sandwich. Yeah, I probably eat them three to four times a day. Sayonara to any other meals cause they would only wind up on the sink. But I had to be strong because the doctor told me I would have to gain at least 2-3 kg upon the first trimester. I made it. I would have to thank my husband who was kept on reminding me that I had to eat, not just for me but also for our baby. His encouragement meant a lot at that time.</p>
<p>After the worst first trimester passed, I asked my mom on how her pregnancy was. She said she was worse off than me. During her first pregnancy, my mom had the all day sickness for seven months. Great God!! Seven full months!! The thing she could actually swallowed was boiled corn and some fruit. So I wasn’t the only one who felt miserable afterall. She actually made me think I was lucky I only suffer for the first three months. So if you are experiencing all day sickness as I was, just hang in there!! Believe me,  it’ll pass  =)</p>
