Alhamdulillah, I've managed to fast since the 1st day without much problems. It was quite challenging on the first day though. I didn't take any oats and Omega 3 as recommended by some mommies during sahoor, and by midday I started to feel weak. This could have been due to the fact that I used a lot of energy to do the laundry early in the morning as well. One good thing, the baby was furiously kicking around almost the whole day so I took that as a sign that he was doing extremely well and wanted his ummi to carry on fasting. I've also stumbled upon a blog post on fasting for pregnant ladies which I think was extremely helpful. Have a look.
From the second day onwards, it has been pretty easy somehow. I took 3 dates, a lot of water, oats as well as Omega 3 during the sahoor and didn't stop eating until I heard the call for the Fajr prayer. And I've been feeling quite energetic throughout the whole day. I'm hoping that I can fast the whole month.
On another note, I am going to see the little one pretty soon. Thinking of doing the 3D ultrasound on Monday the 8th (our 3rd wedding anniversary!) but DH will be working afternoon shift, so we are thinking of doing it maybe on Sunday, if the clinic opens that is. I will also be seeing my doctor on the 8th to see how things are, and by that time the baby will be 33 weeks old.
Talking about baby's arrival which is going to be in less than 7 weeks, I got the parcel from Marks & Spencer few days ago. Now I'm excited. The baby's clothing items are half-ready and I just love the quality of the cotton clothes from M&S! Some reviews say that they are even better than MC's ones. Now I need to get the bathing set & toiletries as well as some CDs. I'm still thinking whether to put the baby full time on CDs or just start with disposables for the first few months. Decision decision!
