A Honest look at my 2nd Pregnancy & Birth Story · Hey Nadine
分享第二次怀孕经历，涵盖孕期不适、手足口病困扰及饮食失控等话题，适合练习描述个人经历和情感表达。
So I recently had my second baby and this pregnancy was nothing like my first.
我最近生下了第二个孩子，这次怀孕的经历与第一次完全不同。
Now the first trimester was pretty much a total write -off, I spent it almost entirely in bed.
现在来说，怀孕的第一个孕期基本上完全白费了（没有任何收获）——我几乎整个孕期都躺在床上度过的。
Then in a second trimester, once the nausea subsided,
然后在妊娠的第二孕期，当恶心症状消退后……
I started to experience pain when I was walking due to baby sitting so very low in my pelvis,
由于需要照看孩子，我的骨盆位置非常低，因此在走路时开始感到疼痛。
which was in stark contrast to my first pregnancy where I was hiking and camping and doing all of the things.
这与我的第一次怀孕情况形成了鲜明对比——那次怀孕期间，我经常去远足、露营，还做了很多其他活动。
Then I managed to catch hand foot and mouth.
后来我竟然感染了手足口病。
Now, this is a common virus for kids, if you have them, you'll probably have heard it or have experienced it.
这种病毒在儿童中非常常见；如果你有孩子的话，很可能已经听说过或亲身经历过这种情况。
But it's actually super uncommon in adults and if you do get it as an adult, it's horrendous.
但实际上，这种情况在成年人中极为罕见；即便真的发生在成年人身上，其后果也会非常严重（甚至令人难以忍受）。
Now both Matt and I got it complete with fever, blisters all over my hands, feet and my scalp.
现在，我和马特都感染了这种病毒，出现了发烧的症状，手上、脚上以及头皮上都长满了水泡。
I mean, I couldn't walk, it hurt to touch anything.
我的意思是，我根本无法行走；任何东西碰到我的身体都会让我感到剧痛。
My skin even peeled off of my hands and my feet and a few of my nails fell off.
我的皮肤甚至从手和脚上脱落了，还有几根指甲也掉了。
This was honestly the sickest Matt and I have ever been that we could remember in our whole adult life.
说实话，这是我们成年后见过的马特最“变态”的一次表现了。
I was trying so hard to stay calm and to not let the pregnancy and anxiety get the best of me,
我一直在努力保持冷静，不让怀孕带来的压力和焦虑情绪控制我的情绪。
but how could I not worry?
但我怎么能不担心呢？
Like how could I not be thinking about what all of these illnesses plus the medications that I was taking to reduce my fever,
我怎么可能不去想这些疾病，以及为了退烧而服用的那些药物呢？
et cetera, were going to do to my unborn baby.
等等……这些行为到底会对我的未出生的孩子造成什么影响呢？
So 10 out of 10, do not recommend that experience.
所以，满分10分的话，我给这个体验打0分（即不推荐）。
Now add to the fact that baby was still sitting very low on my pelvis, so it hurt to do activity,
再加上婴儿的位置仍然很低（靠近我的骨盆），因此进行任何活动都会感到疼痛。
so I was doing desk work.
我当时正在做文书工作。
Now I'm also exhausted again, but I need to keep doing things like life.
现在我又感到精疲力尽了，但我还是必须继续过日常生活，继续做那些该做的事情。
I need to keep doing life.
我需要继续过我的生活。
What did I resort to?
我最终采取了什么办法呢？
Oh, the fastest, easiest form of energy
哦，这种能量形式既是最快速的，也是最容易获取的。
I could think of that wasn't caffeine because I was trying to live in my caffeine because I was pregnant,
我觉得那东西里不含咖啡因——因为当时我怀孕了，需要继续按照平时的习惯（即摄入咖啡因）来生活。
sugar.
糖。
This is what $80 worth of candy looks like.
这就是价值 80 美元的糖果的样子。
Why?
为什么呢？
Because I stumbled upon Swedish candy TikTok and I'm pregnant.
因为我偶然在 TikTok 上看到了关于瑞典糖果的视频，而且我现在怀孕了。
So I ate a lot of food
所以我吃了很多食物。
that was not very good for me and I was just like in trying to stay awake and survive mode.
那对我来说实在不太好；我当时完全处于“努力保持清醒、努力活下去”的状态。
Plus you know like cravings, that's a thing.
另外，你知道的，人的欲望和 cravings（强烈的渴望）是客观存在的。
So inevitably that led to weight gain, a lot of weight gain.
因此，不可避免地导致了体重的增加——而且体重增加得非常多。
You see that?
你看到那个了吗？
You see how big this belly is?
你看到这个肚子有多大吗？
This is a massive belly.
这是一个非常巨大的肚子。
You can see, you can see this a bit better now.
你可以看到，现在看得更清楚一些了。
Look at this.
看看这个。
Oh my goodness.
哦，我的天啊。
See I've got like a mild ternia here.
你看，我这里有点轻微的皮炎症状。
My abs have separated because it's all squishy and I can't do anything and I've got stretch marks.
我的腹部肌肉已经分开了（即腹肌之间的连接变得松弛、无力），我根本无法做任何锻炼；此外，我的身上还出现了妊娠纹。
