35 weeks and 2 days
Hmmmm....all well so far.
My Doctor complemented me on the growth ..she said i looked bigger!!...cool especially after the whole wide world telling me that i looked small for the number of months....yippeeee...so happy.
Considering that full term means anywhere from 38 to 42 weeks, i guess the Big day is not too far.
The usual pain in my pelvic girdle and hips doesnt seem much like a pain compared to the horrible hyperemesis i went through in the earlier months.
A bit anemic so have been prescribed Ferrous Sulphate tablets....a blood test on Monday....seems a bit late for antenatal classes but nevertheless will call on Monday and definitely attend if i get a chance.
Rest is cool.

32 Weeks
Just 8 more weeks to go ...yipppeeeeeeeee!!
After 6 months of severe sickness due to Hyperemesis, n number of Cyclizine and Ranitidine medication .....i have reached the 8th month...feel triumphant already.
I came off Cyclizine...it took me a good week to do without it...last week..but i managed ....so here i am now taking only Ranitidine....2wice a day........i tried cutting that down to 1 tablet but the acid was so severe that i ended up not eating anything ..so decided to caary on with Ranitidine.
It's rather disappointing when people around boast that they never took any medication for acid during pregnancy....but now i have given up on explaining the fools that each pregnancy is different......Given a choice i would obviously choose a medication free natural pregnancy.
Going for check up every two weeks. Things are good (touchwood!) and the baby kicks and jostles day and night....hahahahha.....fun to see my tummy in crests and troughs....sweeet.
Just 8 more weeks to go and that doesn't seem too far!!!
Yo!!!

21 weeks
had the 20 week ultrasound ..al well...baby's doing fine.
My medicine doses have come down. Now i am on one cyclizine and one ranitidine in the morning...that's about it....keeps me going throughout the day..
No cravings so far..buti make it a point to eat something every 2-3 hours....it starts with biscuits and medicine in the morning, followed by milk and toast at mid day, lunch around 2:30 pm, a snack around 5:30 and dinner at 8 includes an egg and some salad.
Good news is that my weight has remained constant at 57 kgs ...not gone down....so i'm happy.
Am now classified under "low risk pregnancy" so a midwife will do all followup appointments.
Finally starting to feel positive of this pregnancy.
I still am unable to travel by bus or cab because it brings on the sickness....cancelled the Greece trip coz of this.....and now back to good old walking.
Working from home.....so quite busy 10 to 6.
All well so far and hopefully will continue to be so.
:)

back with a bang
almost 19 weeks now......and the Hyperemesis is still going strong....after being hospitalised, losing 10 kgs in the past few months and several changed medications i am finally back.
the medicines are continuing as are the random throwing up sessions......but alls well as long as the little one is doing fine inside.
had a dating scan where we got a glimpse of the little one...thank God that all was fine.....have another scan in a weeks time...and then i will we half way thru this pregnancy (my first and last)........never again never again shall i put myself to this sheer torture...
waiting for next week so we can see baby clearer this time..they say baby must have grown up quite a bit by now....touchwood!
Seeking Lord's blessings for baby and us..
God bless all

Week 11- Hyperermesis Gravidarum
where had i been the last few weeek ?????????????
well, in the hospital and then at home ..bedridden !
Hyperermesis Gravidarum is what the doctors callled my symptoms...and then i was kept on IV fluids for 4 days......the vomiting wouldn't stop......and then once it was a bit better i was put on regular medication....................this is sure is different from the regular morning sickness that people have....and all this while i got calls from family and friends ...each female relating to her pregnancy and morning sickness...have some ginger, keep eating...the advice came on and on.......but how on earth could i explain them that this was different...much worse than the morning sickness they experienced......it's impossible to keep anything down..ANYTHING.......wish someone would understand my plight.........i have wept and wept in these months until there was no strength to cry.....the anti nausea medicines make me sleepy and drowsy and disorientated at times.....i am sick and tired or everything ....i dont have the strength to walk or talk and today....this is after a month that i have gained strength to sit up and type.....and while i type this i am sick and dizzy and will rush to the loo any moment to vomit once again.....all days pass in oblivion.....i had not imagined pregnancy to be this painful.....never...
the medication i am on is cyclizine, thiamine, folic acid and domperidone.
cyclizine is the anti sickness medicine that leaves me sleepy and dizzy........but i have no choice but to take it as that is the only way some food stays inside....
i haven't been to work since last month and am living a vegetable existence at home......6 more months to go .........hopefully the nausea will subside after the 4th month and then i shall be back to nornal again....hopefully i will smile again.

Week 8
What was i thinking?
What have i landed myself into?
ohhhhhhhhh!!
Having a hard time coping with severe nausea..........and when i say severe, i mean severe.............weekends are a blur as i sleep and puke ...............i'm hardly able to keep anything down and it's been a nightmare...my weight has gome down from 64 to 60 kgs........am never hungry and if at all i drink water out it comes in no time.................ohoooooooooooo...this is such a torture!!
I had a different picture of the pregnancy experience..........people say they enjoy their pregnancy.....enjoy?? where is the E of the enjoy................this seems like such a pain!!!
Hmmmmmmm...wish i find that E of enjoy soon or i will shrink and lose weight and puke and lose perspective of life..........my doctor refuses to prescribe anti emetic ...........so all i do is sit and suffer!!!
I'm sooo pissed off with this whole experience....nausea, lightheadedness,puking...and what not.......GOD!! please show me the brighter side of this phase called pregnancy!
:(

Don't take Prenatal Vitamins
OK here are my two cents on Prenatal vitamins.
I am speaking from experience here- had been on prenatals for the last month but the capsules did not agree with me...it so happened that i was getting a vitamin overdose.....leading to headaches, nausea, irritability and yellow eyes.
The reason - Vitamin Overdose!! I was already getting the vitamins from fruits, vegetables and a healthy diet.
So these pills were causing more harm than good!!
Avoid prenatal vitamins at all cost....but do take Folic Acid... there are little tablets available which have folic acid only and no extra vitamins.
In fact all vitamins seem like a sham...esp after it has been proved that vitamins are best consumed in their natural form (in fruits, veggies, food).....so what u waiting for?? throw away those vitamins and eat healthy to see yourself live long, happy, healthy and wealthy ( well, health is wealth as they say!!)
