The Most Beautiful Thing in the World!

Hi there!
It’s been a long since I last wrote. Actually, I kind of didn’t feel like writing at all last few weeks, and it’s because I am pregnant! All I do is sleeping 
so, that’s why I didn’t post more regularly.
This is my first pregnancy and I feel great, I’m not nervous, like most women are; I do not feel morning sickness or anything. God forbid! But I can’t get use to those long hours of sleep and tiredness. Wherever or whenever I sit, I fall asleep! I find it very tiring, because I don’t have the habit of sleeping so long. But I am dealing with it, plus- I hope it won’t last long. At least, that’s what my doctor said.
As far as some special pregnancy-lifestyle is concerned for now (the first trimester), it’s not big deal. I am to:
- Drink only mineral, non-carbonated water, and only freshly made juices,
- Eat more fruits and vegetables,
- Eat more red meat, (other types of meat are necessary too, but red meat should be eaten more regularly because of blood count),
- Instead of sugar- to eat honey,
- Non-refined oils, low-fat dairy products,
- Eggs should be eaten 2 or 3 a week.
But this is how I commonly eat. It’s only that now I do not feel need for sweets (which, I admit, felt from time to time before I got pregnant). That’s great because I was afraid that I’ll be eating tons of sweets in pregnancy. I hope this will last, and this will help me not to put on too much weight.
Besides, I was advised to take:
- Folic acid 2 times a day, and
- Tocopherol, also 2 times a day.
Those vitamins are to be taken during the first 4 months of pregnancy, for normal development of bones and nervous system of baby. Also, tocopherol (vitamin E) is good in preventing pre-eclampsia in pregnant women. Folic acid may reduce risk of baby heart defects.
Bye, I am off to sleep
