Binx's version of "What to expect when you are expecting" - Part I

First 4 weeks

You might not realise that you are already pregnant at this point of time.  Hence, go about doing your daily routine as usual. If you are a coffee addict like yours truly, load up on your caffeine intake as much as you can!  As soon as you know that you are pregnant, you might feel guilty to indulge further. :p

Week 5 - 12

This is when the emotional (and hormonal) rollercoaster begins.

You might get a dose of the morning sickness by this time.  The queasy nauseous feeling constantly lingering at the back of your throat.  Constant trip to the loo is expected.

Try to eat small portion of meal even if you don't feel like you can swallow anything without throwing up.  Plain toast or dry crackers might be your only meal during these trying times.  It's ok, as long as you ARE eating.  Oh yeah, H2O is essential too.  Failing to drink, might cause you to end up in the emergency ward, hooked-up to the IV tube for hours or even days!  Trust me, you wouldn't want to be stuck in the hospital just to get hydrated.

You might feel tired most of the time during these few weeks.  Constant nap and good night sleep is very very essential.  If your partner's snores keeps you up at night, try to persuade him to sleep on the couch for at least during the week, so that you can have a good night rest to last you throughout the working day.
