The day I threw up I knew I was pregnant

MORNING SICKNESS

...Is the best way to find out that you are in fact pregnant. Kidding. But seriously though, I actually found out that I was (possibly) pregnant because of getting dizzy all day (not only in the morning!) and throwing up (A LOT!). 

When I started getting this symptom, I told my husband that I was getting sick all day and I was badly throwing up even in the middle of the road. Then, we found ourselves getting a pregnancy test kit and then we confirmed that we were actually pregnant! The day I found out, I was crying so hard because I wasn't really sure if I can do it already. I also thank God that he gave me the best husband and life partner who was extremely supportive every step of the way. 

I experienced extreme morning sickness up until around my 4th month of pregnancy. I lost a lot of weight during the first trimester because my body was coping up really bad. But, to make sure that the baby gets enough nutrients I made sure I was eating healthy. 

Getting the big news is really a blessing but sometimes it comes with other emotions as well. Just trust God and everything will surely fall into place ;) 

Quick Facts: 
  • We found out that we were pregnant when the baby was already at 8 weeks...
  • Because I had a bit of bleeding (that I thought was just my regular period) on the week that I was expecting my cycle. 
  • I weighed 108 lbs. on my 8th week of pregnancy 
  • Ended up around 102 lbs. after the 3rd month due to throwing up 
  • I didn't have food cravings rather I had food aversions (which I will take up in my next post!)

Til' Next Time! Have a great Sunday!

Entering the Mommy World

Hey there!

I am Vanya Peralta-Tantoco (recently and happily married), taking on the quarter life that I never imagined I would have!

I got pregnant December 2014 and gave birth to our little love who soon became an angel early September 2015. Technically I am still a pseudo-mommy to be with an angel flying beside me. I studied Communication Arts and graduated with flying colors-- now I am busy with event production, styling and being a legal assistant (soon-to-be law student).

I decided to share my experiences in being pregnant, fit and a working mommah at the same time! I want to share this with young moms and mom-to-be's to know that they're not alone in this journey.

I am looking forward to meeting everyone soon and share our little tips and secrets on being a wife and a mom! xoxo
