Sick, sick, sick...

As usual, I was sick during the holiday... dunno what's the prob, everytime when I'm in holiday sure fall sick... but this time was different because it seems serious and i'm 22weeks pregnant...

On the boxing day, I wake up with serious backache... at first I suspect it was due to my pregnancy and the bad sitting position i had the night before... so i sat on the massage chairs for 15 minutes and thought it was better. While I was driving, i found that my wrists were in pain too... then my legs and then i got headache... then i suspected it might be heaty... I start drinking plenty of waters and rest in at my mum's house. After woke up from nap, I felt like fever... so after darling finish work, i went see doc in clinic. Doc cant find the source of my fever, so only gave me PCM(paracetamol) to take... When we went back home after dinner, only i knew that my mother in law was having the same prob with me for the 2nd day de... she was more serious than me. The night i did not slept well, due to all the pain on my body n head...

The next morning, me n darling were woke by the phone call... mother in law was admitted to the hospital... but what's the source still unknown... So I went to the clinic again, coz my fever never goes off even after the PCM... the doc said it was still too soon to do any tests, she said have to wait till the 3rd day... and since i'm pregnant cant take too much medicine also. End up I spent the whole afternoon lied on the bed doing nothing... the headache was terrible!! The doc in hospital told that mother in law maybe virus infection... that's really scared me, coz virus is dangerous to the unborn... around 6pm I suddenly felt sooo sooo tired, n from that moment i seems like cant feel baby moving anymore until 8pm... that's really frightening!!

So I went to A&E in Sunway Medical Centre, the put me on the ECG to check the fetal's heartbeat and I need to press on a button if i feel the baby's movement... after half an hour of that checking, the midwife said the baby should be quite safe, asked me no need to worry so much, and had made an appointment for me to meet the doc on Tuesday. Then back to the general doc, he said nothing can do now(like what the doc in clinic said) and asked me to cont taking the PCM... by the time, my headache became more n more serious, almost unbearable... from the information from father in law, my mother in law was infected by bacteria, not that serious as virus infection... I felt much released at least! I took the PCM before sleep... and was sweat the whole night. This morning i woke up, there was no more fever and the clinic's doc said dun need any blood test then... Till now, the fever didnt come back... so hopefully I had won the battle with bacteria!

Well, from the time I know i might be virus infection i start talking to myself and my little baby... I told her we must fight together, mum will do all my best and baby you must always support mum... I kept on talking with her, especially when I felt very ill... I believe it worked!! We both together fighting with the bacteria and now seems like we won... I will still be alert until the appointment with the gynae (not the one i usually visit, coz he's on leave) to ensure baby is ok... So we will both work hard for few more days, ok babe?? Gambate!!
