Nausea and other stuff that I want to express

This state of nauseousness was particularly bad last night. When will this end??!!

Woke up this morning with a body ache. In fact every morning it has been that way since two weeks ago. I thought that it could be because I have been sleeping on my right side all this while, but last night I slept flat on my back and that didn't change anything. This dull headache is still there since last Friday. Sabar ajelah...

Even as I write now, I am feeling drowsy. How not to feel drowsy after two nasi lemak bungkus at Pit Stop and curry mee to top it off. After all that food, I feel like throwing up. Yes, that is my predicament. I feel hungry, I need to eat, I eat all the wrong food, and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Of course I don't aspire to eat oatmeal or wholemeal toast or anything close to healthy. That is why I have put on 4kg since early December. Sigh!

I have been skipping folic acid and Pramilet for the last two days. Forced it down my throat this morning and almost vomitted in that process. The spot where the progesterone injection was given is so itchy and it is all I can do to stop scratching the skin off my hip butt area.

What can I look forward to?
  • Enjoying this pregnancy and the glow that comes with it (yeah right!)
  • Definitely the birth of a healthy baby, does not matter, boy or girl....
  • Finding a name for the baby
  • Shopping new stuff for the baby
  • The two months maternity leave
  • My tastebuds returning to normalcy
  • The weight reduction process (nak kata slimming, macamlah slim to begin with)
  • Planning for vacation this CNY

What I don't look forward to?

  • Every aspect of C-section childbirth; from the shaving of hair from you know where, having a catheter inserted, the spinal anasthetic administered, the doctor saying "okay, we are about to start now", the doctor and husband dearest having a merry conversation about my fat as he stitches away, the inability to sleep after delivery, the pain, the pain, the pain and having to get up once the spinal wears off....
  • The fear as they wheel me into OT
  • The throbbing of an engorged breast
  • The breast having a life of its own after breastfeeding
  • Sleepless nights

One day at a time.....
