Sick at the wrong time

I am sick at home, it's really disgusting when I fall sick easily. I went to my family doctor and he too said that my frequency of getting flu is like every 2 months... The last time I saw him was in mid May, that time I was sick for 2 weeks!

What's more disgusting was, today is Jeffrey's birthday! I had so many plans in mind but none could be fulfill because I am sick sick sick! Sigh. Jeffrey's sister and her family came over from England and they will be going to St. James tonight to celebrate Jeff's birthday as well as Sarah's birthday. Jeff's niece happen to share same birth date and I am going to be out of the action! Tell me why must I fall sick......

Just another day

Just one little additional member in the family requires so many items...


Bottles.....
Steam Sterilizer
Baby food warmer
Humidifier, aiyah this is for me. Jeff insists buying one for me because of my sore throat. He says its best to have one in the air condition room. Ironically, my flu got worst, nose is like a running tap when I turned on the humidifier. Hahaha

I slept the whole of today, was up early this morning and went to see my family physician again as my flu symptoms got worst. My doctor reassure me that everything will be fine as his prescriptions were all suitable for pregnancy. He said I needed more sleep and drink lots of water for my body to recover. Well indeed, when I woke up just now after long hours of sleeping, I do feel better!

Flu and colds during pregnancy

I am getting a full blown flu virus, didn't go out today because my whole body aches terribly! I am extremely tired, groggy head, spinning, can't even balance my steps properly. I cough out greenish sputum, coughing very hard, throat is still sore, and nasal stuffiness.

I know my body very well, every time when I felt discomfort in my throat, I know I am going to catch a flu or already caught one. My flu symptoms always starts with a sore throat, followed by coughing and then complete with the rest of the other flu symptoms.

Luckily I have checked that catching a cold or the flu during pregnancy rarely causes birth defects. But pregnancy can increase your risk for complications from the flu, such as pneumonia. Pregnancy can change a pregnant women’s immune system and affect her heart and lungs. These changes can increase the risk for complications from the flu.

I just finished my porridge, my ribcage hurts like hell.... will blog more if I get back my usual energy level.

How I ended up with sore throat

I've got an uninvited guest one night, it was a tiny green grasshopper resting on my pillow. Jeff was laying on bed reading his automobile magazine and didn't notice the little one on the pillow. Fortunately thanks to my meticulous and powerful eyesight, I managed to save my little guest from becoming a milestone...

The little green guest must have hopped onto either Jeff or myself when we were at the garden. Before I released him back to nature, I took many shots of him using my dummy camera. Luckily he didn't resist all the flashes from the camera and was very cooperative throughout the photo shooting session.
Bye bye little grasshopper, don't get lost again.

Went Glutton Bay located beside Esplanade for our dinner on Saturday night. It was our first time visiting the place, call me mountain tortoise as I don't know this place exist. It was through a recommendation from a food blogger that I found out about Glutton Bay. Hahah at first I thought it sounded like a street name of Hong Kong... silly me.

Anyway we were there because of a particular hawker stall that sells craypot dishes and BBQ stuff originated from Thailand. (that's how I ended up having a sore throat now...)

Crispy fried Oyster omelette with really big oysters, loved their chilly source too.

Ok this was what we came for, our orders consisted of BBQ set meal and craypot steamboat meal.

It was a little messy, humid and warm to eat BBQ and steamboat at an open air environment. Prefer to have this in an enclosed area, best with air con... ok I am spoiled! Due to the weather, the bbq meat, the steaming hot soup... I ended up having a sore throat. Just went to visit my family physician today to get some relieve for my throat.

Jeff wanted to have a picture of me and the size of my tummy.... we did a comparison of each other's sizes. Lucky for him, he doesn't have a mid life crisis tummy, very well maintain, proud of him!

25th weeks towards my pregnancy, 加油！加油！

Complaint to my family physician about the problems I have, server rib cage pain, server gastric, insomnia, blar blar.... sigh... now there is one more addition to the list... sore throat and mild cough. Sigh I really cannot sleep well at night.

Sick mama

It's terrible enough to suffer and endure the pre-natal blues, and the discomfort of being pregnant. I thought I have been doing very well so far, been really discipline to the do s and don't s. Even though I experience server back pain every night, frequent headaches and gastric pain, I live through it all.

Yesterday I skipped my Yoga class, I caught a flu, although it was a mild one, it cannot be taken likely. Blocked and running nose (ironic, it was blocked but mucus dripped like a loose tap), sore throat, heavy headed... spinning effect, I even felt like I was floating. To make matters worst I couldn't sleep at night, eyes wide open till 4am. I even know what was showing on channel 5 & 8 at that hour!

Seen my family physician earlier, he was real caution in prescribing flu medication for me. Hope I can recover soon, doubt there will be yoga for me tomorrow. Better stay at home Kuai Kuai, if not sick mama will remain sick.... I wanna be sexy mama again!

Oh I forgot to share about hearing my baby's heart beat in my earlier post. My doctor let me listen to my baby's heart beat, it sounded like a fast moving train, very loud, clear and rapid as well. Unborn babies will have twice the speed of an adult heart rate, and my baby's heart rate is measured at 168 times per minute. Wah super!

Ok so much for today. Got to take a nap.
