Please do not proceed reading this post as this is just an occasional rant of mundane things happening in my life.
Last week, Hubby took me, his sister and mother to Singapore for a short vacation. Just for the sake of going shopping before I started working. We were actually tagging along his uncle and wife so they are the ones who made all the plans. Where we are going and where to eat etc etc. I was so excited as this will be my second short holiday with hubs after Bali. First day was fine and dandy. We entered Singapore on Friday and had a walk around Orchard Road before going to their zoo for a Night Safari. Interesting zoo indeed. Sadly i couldn't really enjoy it as i was getting unwell with blocked nose and flu. Must be their chilly night air. Nevertheless I still feel fine enough because we decided to come back the next day for more shopping trips.
Went back to his uncle's place in Johor and discovered i had high fever. It's not helping that i need to pee every 2 hours. I keep on waking up in the middle of the night when everybody was asleep and the bathroom was ice cold. You know when u had a high fever everything is supercold to you. I was shivering madly throughout the night and because i know my body temp is so hot, i can actually feel the baby moving throughout the night. Poor baby, must be uncomfortable being in an oven. In the morning, after taking my bath and panadol, i feel so much better. I was actually telling myself over and over that i'm fine because i don't want to miss going back to Singapore. A sensible person should just stay and rest and see a doctor. I was not sensible.
Day 2 was the most tiring experience ever. We walked everywhere, taking the bus and MRT. I think somehow i got sick even worse after that because I was so tired. Can you imagine a pregnant woman like me walking from Marina Bay to Esplanade. We WALKED under HOT SUN. Not our choice though. The uncle said it was close by so they insist on walking. I don't wanna make a fuss so i just follow but the whole time, i was close to crying because i was so tired and having a high fever and pinggang nak tercabut and there and then all the shopping mood evaporate so all I did whole day was finding a place to sit. Hubs was trying to help by saying he would carry me. Excuse me, you would expect me to be carried in front of everybody the whole time. Serious malu kot. The family has also decided that next time we would go on a holiday on our own with our own itenary and our choices of transportation as walking is a big NO NO. If it was our choices, we would take a taxi everywhere.
Everybody did shopped to their heart content. And me? Well I was finding a place to sit and i told them " Ok, i wait here until we are ready to go " and they left me for almost an hour. I siap tidur2 lagi. Unsatisfactory experience ever. The same night hubby decided to go back to KL straight as my fever has worsen and we reached KL around 5am. He took me to a clinic in Melawati and the lady doctor was so unfriendly. I told her i wanted a scan as I couldn't feel the baby moved whole day and she made me feel stupid by saying " 5 bulan baby tak gerak lagi and what u feel is not the baby moving" but she did scanned me and i was relieved to see the heartbeat. She gave me some meds but the next day when i showed the meds to my mom, my mom terus tak bagi i makan some of it as they make me drowsy and it's not good for a pregnant woman. I was baffled. Doesn't a doctor supposed to know what's good and bad for a pregnant lady?
My mom who used to work in a hospital is very particular on what type of meds i'm taking so she insisted that i went to the GH for a check up. That night my mom took me and the doctor put on a drip on me as she said my heartrate was quite high. Oh my god how i hate needles. PAINFULLLLL!!!!! But because we went a bit late, the doctor doesn't even wait for the drip to be finished because she wants to go home. By then i was shivering like mad and my temp was about 38-39 degress. And when we went to pick up the meds, the doctor gave me some meds that ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR PREGNANT WOMAN. My mom was asking the pharmacist and they in turn hesitated in giving me the meds and when they try to call the doctor, she has already left. My mom well you could say was quite angry and disappointed. Again, i ask you, shouldn't a doctor knows better???
Early the next morning, as i was sleeping over because my mom told me so ( she wanted to take care of me), she woke me up and told me we are going to see a gynae " jumpa pakar terus, jangan jumpa doktor2 biasa nie dah" and as she was taking Rafael to see a paed because apparently common doctors didn't gave suitable meds for him because after days Rafael still isn't well. Rafael has this red dots all over his body and is quite disgusting to see so this time around my mom told us " from now on we are only going to see paed and gynae. " Yes we have to pay more but at least we are confident with the experience of these doctors.
We went to Naluri near my house. The nurse took my weight and i've gained 2 kgs since last check-up but still i have the feeling that i'm underweight for a pregnant woman. I am merely 47kgs. The doctor then did a scan and this time around i can see the whole body of the baby. Dah cukup sifat and she showed me the baby's spine, legs and hands and even told me the sex of the baby but she's not that sure because the position of the baby makes it hard to see the sex properly. Nevertheless, i truly truly think she's right ;). Can't wait for next month check-up to make sure of the sex.. Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
This time around she gave me a bunch of vitamins and meds. They were so many but rest assure everything is safe for consumption ;). My fever has subside now but unfortunately because of the coughing i lost my voice.
I started working yesterday and the first day at work my collegues asked me to go home because i was coughing non-stop. I went back to see my gynae for MCs and discovered since last week i lost 1 kg. Oh my god, how can i be pregnant and weight 46kgs? Seriously baby why are you so small????? Nobody will believe i'm at my 5th months because i don't look pregnant at all. I can still fit into all my clothes. Well as long as I still feel the baby moves, i hope everything will be okay. 4 more months till I see you baby ;)
Well, didn't I say this is a boring post? Now some pictures.
