32nd Week

I'm officially in my 32nd week of pregnancy. All is well so far. I must say I am one of the very lucky few to experience a very smooth pregnancy.
1) I did not have morning sickness. I'm not sure if genes play a part as my mother did not have MS as well.
2) I did not develop any aversions to any food/drinks/smells.
3) Neither did I have strong cravings e.g. getting hubby to run out at midnight to get me durians from Geylang!
4) No giddiness (except for 2 times when I was on the train)
5) No constipation, in fact my bowels were much more regular than before.
6) NO ACNE!!! my oily skin was my biggest worry and I was on prescription topical medication before trying to conceive. I was afraid I would break out horribly.
7) No water retention... so far
8) No backache
9) No problems sleeping
10) No breathlessness
I would like to thank God that my body adjusted well to the pregnancy hormones. I actually felt so good being pregnant, hubby says I look beautiful <3 I still chase after the bus and skip down the stairs haha!!
Some effects which I didn't really like:
1) My underarms are so discoloured... they look horrible. (I have a tendency to have hyperpigmentation as I'm of a darker skin tone)
2) I see some emerging stretchmarks on my left thigh. Though they are very little, some days they look like they are non-existent. I hope they go away.
3) I was really, really, really, really tired in my 1st trimester.
4) I had 2 episodes of upset stomach, diarrhea when no one else had (though we all had the same food). I'm not sure if it was due to being pregnant. But I felt so bad that ZacZac was not getting food. Some of those days I cry and tell him I'm sorry I got no appetite for food. (later on I learnt that our body has 2/3 weeks of reserves for baby to tap on!)
5) Having more urges to go to the toilet
These aside, there were times we were so worried and unsure whether baby would be fine. More about it another time :)
