Hello readers! I am here to update my blog again. It was kinda terrible during my first trimester because i will have morning sickness every single morning. Every morning when i get up from bed, i will be gagging within seconds. Thus i hate to wake up every single morning but i have no choice as i need to go for work.
Everyone first heard about the wuhan virus that has since been renamed as covid-19 in dec 2019 but never did we expect that it will affect the whole world including Singapore with the first case being detected in Singapore on 23 Jan 2020. That was around the chinese new year period.
By February, Singapore raise its dorscon level from yellow to orange, everyone had to take their temperature when we report for work, and we were allocated duty to take temperature for visitors etc due to my nature of work. The situation soon escalate and there were more work for us to monitor the travel declaration. I was hoping it won't be too serious because i was looking forward to my korea trip which we have already booked our tickets. (However eventually we have to cancel this trip because Korea have increasing cases everyday and it was not safe to travel there too). I remember my colleagues were asking whether there will be a work from home approach as we were waiting for further updates since this was a pandemic which we have never encountered before.
Due to my bad morning sickness, my mum told me to move back to her house so that she could better take care of me, so i began shuffling in between my house and her house after i reported sick during one of the bad days.
Eventually by 7 Apr, Singapore government announced the circuit breaker, whereby only essential services will remain open and most of the offices will adopt the work from home approach. Thus despite us having additional more work to do due to covid, i was pretty glad that we could work from home because my morning sickness was so bad that on one occasion i had to take medical leave to rest at home. I was still wondering how to survive the remaining months. But with the circuit breaker and work from home approach means I could rest more since i don't have to wake up early to travel to my workplace. I don't have to worry about whether people will give up their seat for me since they can't really tell my baby bump as i was still in my 1st going to 2nd trimester.
Due to the circuit breaker and because of Jeremy nature of work, so he was deployed which means he couldn't take care of me even if i stay in my own house so eventually i move back my mum house officially during the circuit breaker period and have been staying there.
After working from home since Apr till now, my morning sickness eventually stop during the mid of 2nd trimester, i was less sleepy, more energetic by then.
Because of the circuit breaker, everyone has been staying home so we have been ordering more food takeaway than usual. Below is a series of my foods photo that we have been ordering during the circuit breaker period. How i grow my baby during this pregnancy.
