honeylemon: no prob.. cos car seats are not as comfortable as mummy's arms.. so its good to start early.. let bb get used to it.. then next time u wont have so much trouble. but then hor.. if bb cries after sitting on it for a while.. dun immediately carry it.. it'll defeat the purpose also.. wait for a while first then carry it.. slowly bb will get used to it..
Mrs L: yeah.. i've been thinking of nasi lemak since last night too. haha..
shugar: i'm cantonese also.. so i like canton soup.. mil is teochew.. teochew taste quite different.. so maybe that's y i'm not used to it also..
sweetzinc: could it be phlegm?? or maybe its something green u ate like vege? cos vege also indigestible one.

Hi Ladies!!!
Sorry for this long absence. I tried to post stuff from time to time in hospital but that silly mt alvernia connection didn't allow outward bound emails or forum postings.
I was discharged today after I told the doc if I go on staying in hospital, I'll become very depressed (cannot fulfil my food cravings). Now feeling very weak and still having my blood-stained phlegm..
What I had was pneumonia, and the sucky bit was that the only antibiotic known to work against this particular infection strain was erthryomycin (and which is safe for pregnancy), is something I am allergic to. After two days of Augmentin, I wasn't responding to treatment so they had little choice but to put me on my allergic antibiotic and monitor me closely.
Needless to say, I am super stressed over how all this is affecting the baby. The gynae kept assuring me that the medication is all safe etc etc but can't stop feeling paranoid. I was also not the most cooperative patient..kept rejecting alot of their other medication.
Being sick with pneumonia, heartburn and MS is really, really bad..something u might want to wish only on a mortal enemy...
Last word in, thanks to the MTBs who kept posting notes of concern..I read them but was unable to reply. Your thoughts kept me going and hopefully this sorry episode will pass and everything will be fine.

ww >> first thing, go and shop for clothes. i am now mostly in frumpy oversized tees and panic sets in for pants..only one can fit me now.. beginning to show already...yep, that's one of the happiest things i can think of now.
i am with you on the no-meds route. but unfortunately, i cannot adhere to that..now just the thought of throwing up makes me so tired of it, i just sit and stare at the ziplock bag.

these few days, my appetite decrease alot. Tummy so bloated. Oh did i share with you, Cotton on is having a sale. Can grab something from there to last at least for 2-4 mths.
xoxo: Actually still can dress nicely. I assume that the clothings we buy now will come in handy for the first 4-30 months after we deliver. I think that there is some online maternity wear for sale. Still looking around. Maybe you can try it.

hi catherine,
i gotta agree that is has become a habit. A habit of surrendering to the puke and feeling all messed up. i will be touching week 10+ soon..week 13 cannot arrive soon enough. (dread to think that when wk 13 is here and i am still feeling this way, what i will do..)

astro >> when i was admitted (9 mar, mon) i lost 300g. i have somehow strangely plied on 1kg since then. don't ask me where it came from esp since i am now "allergic" to rice. no matter what order i eat it, and even if it is paired with other food, rice will be regurgitated. do u know of any meditation group we can join? I think my sanity is at borderline. Really didn't think I was so weak b4..newfound humility
Wished I could do alot more to pacify you too..but first, here's a birthday getwell HUG!! like i told roxie, we are rockin' in the same boat.
so u all feel breatheless ah? i do leh. dunno why? coz my breath is all pent up. due to my indigestion.. gosh. so chiam :S
xoxo: erm.. Ms doesn't clear instantenously by week 12 l2h.. gradually one leh.. maybe by week 16?? then u will really feel.. REBORNED..
wah. so good week 10 liao u! i am still week 7.. just beginning. feel like dying!

xoxo: ha.. u are sweet..
i am ok with rice.. but i just have so poor appetite.. that it astounds me to know that i still look rounded?! *wail*.. i think. u were on drip right? the drip could have ensure u didn't lose too much weight?
hey. recalled that u had to given the medcine which u were allergic to coz that is the only drug safe for use during preg.. u didn't kena the allergy from using the drug again, i hope?

astro >> am coughing sporadically..*cold water* i thought the MS will disappear like a magic wand! gradually? my patience not really in supply...
maybe your uterus is "pushing" your tummy? i don't quite have a waist anymore myself..dunno abt the round or not..
the medicine is the one i am allergic to. had a one-of-the-kind of gastric plus blood rash. the minute i was done with the antibiotic, i opted to flee the hospital. that's why have to go back on the 18th. apparently they consider preggers with pneumonia as "complicated, high risk". sigh..don't know whether to take it at face value, what the docs say that the medication is "known to be safe".."not to worry"...

xoxo: it disappeared gradually lah.. doesn;t just go off like that :S..
can't be uterus pushing tummy.. coz now.. we are still too early.. uterus.. not even the size of a grapefruit.. (at least fo rme).. so no way it can reach my tummyy yet
.. but def indigestion..
how does blood rash look like?
it is complicated lah. pneumonia in itself is already commplicated.. throw in the developing feotus.. just makes things more complicated
.. i think if ur gynae can reassure u that that antiobotics is safe. it should be..

astro >> when i lie down on my side, can feel that there's a bulge just above the navel. anyway, i am already showing and the waist is not defined anymore (skinny in the first place so maybe that's why it shows a little early). blood rash..it's like little red dots all over. it's an allergic reaction, so the blood capillaries leak blood...in serious cases, it becomes a haemorrhage..but it is painless and not itchy.
haiz..i guess they are right when they say no way i can "last" 7 mths with pneumonia. i already said no to x-ray of my lungs so they are unaware of how "serious" or "not-so-serious" the issue is...not just abt antibiotics, i also ended up with asthma medication, cough syrups, menthol lozenges, antihistamines..kept telling the little one, try not to ingest too much..i was given a weakened dose of antibiotics anyway..worry worry worry...

xoxo: It is indeed quite scary from the way that they feed you with medication. Our body detox.
Think it is better to try to look foward. Still have a long way more. Dont let the medicine thing bug you> upset bb.
It can drive one insane. So have be brave/calm and steer your mind away from what you cannot change. Why not think of how to help your body detox instead?

xoxo: above or below the navel?
i know i did feel a bulge when i was abot week 12.. with carbo.. i showed quite slowly.. but now all sagged liao lah.. so also dunno got bulge or not. coz have been budging all the time!
i see.. but i am glad that ur fever is gone.. as with any infection.. once the fever is gone.. it is on the route to recovery??

ww >> what was scarier was the way they say that pneumonia is responsible for almost 50% of obstetric maternal deaths. it would be very unwise to refuse antibiotics as the bacteria can "migrate"..from your lungs to the spine, brain etc. all very very upsetting. thanks..i know i must not dwell too much..but I'd be lying if I said I am sanguine abt stuff. on the lighter side..MS is one way of "detoxification"!!! hehehehe..seriously, my feelings of being unwell is rather profound. i think you must all be feeling the same way...that this is normal and i shouldn't give myself too much depth of it..but really, am sinking quite deep into crazier thoughts. just had an inkling to suck on copper coins..craving for copper (of course i know this is mad)..

astro >> the fever's gone..from the panadol?? yep, i ended up with paracetamol. the bulge can be felt (like a lump of organs) on the side, just above the navel..like all my intestines got squashed upwards. maybe that explains all the gas...the usual twists and turns after 28 years, are forced to adopt a new posture...
