Its all the hormones... ...

For the past 9 wks, all possible infections have been linked to my hormonal changes. From the never ending cough/sore throat/flu to the fungal infection to UTI and then now the fungal infection again. Wonder why my immune system is so weak. Every single sickness I get will ultimately get the same diagnosis from the doc. "It's all becos of the hormonal changes during pregnancy." Must admit that I am quite fustrated cos of the tonnes of med I need to eat everyday. Worse still, one medication somehow will lead to the compromise of another system and then a new sickness will develop soon after one is cured. Finally gotta my urine culture test result today & was glad my UTI is now cleared but the antibiotics that I was on had led to fungal infection since my bacteria flora is disturbed. Groan.

Sigh. My mum was telling me that she dun even have time to vomit when she was pregnant with us as she has many wrk to do. As for me, the nausea feeling is forever there. Puke my guts out this morn again. Stomach empty also puke, stomach too full also puke. Getting 6 small meals a day is not easy when my tummy sometimes just wanna act up on me. Furthermore, a typical school day only allow like 2 meals? Many colleagues had been coming up to me to remind me to slow down my pace in sch. Telling YT recently that I'm worried with sch wrk as I kept taking sick leave. She told me that nothing is more impt than my body & baby nw so I should not worry too much. Boss has been trying to reduce my wrkload by passing my wrk over to others but still feel I should be able to handle quite well on my own. Oh well... with the amt of sick leave I am taking, not surprised that quite abit of my wrk is best left to others.

NEED to build up my immune system now. Practicum for the NIE trainees is starting soon & I am appointed CT to 2 trainees so better not miss sch anymore. I know the 2nd trimester will be a much better one so seriously counting down to it. Bout 2 more wks to go. I MUST HANG IN THERE!

My precious baby... Be strong & be healthy inside mummy. All I want is the best for you. :)
