Overnight Sickness...

Started my full-blown morning sickness at 12am this morning and felt real terrible till like 5+am? Didnt sleep at all & went to GP this morning for med & MC. First MC for 2009. Hai...

Doc took my urine sample and found everything ok (no blood, no glucose) except that there are leucocytes (white blood cells) in my urine. This simply indicate I have a urinary infection. Drags. Doc explained that its becos of the expansion of my uterus which exert pressure on the bladder and some muscles loosening around the vaginal area that made preggy women prone to bacterial infection. Cant take antibiotics becos may affect baby so I have to drink loads of water plus some salt thingy to clear the infection.

Doc told me my onset of morning sickness is actually a good sign! Simply means my body hormones are working very well and matches the timing of baby growth. He told me I am currently into my 8th wk pregnancy (as they count from my last period on 5th Nov).

Can't wait for the 1st gynae appt this thu. REally hope to be able to see my little one from the ultrasound... Very curious to see how much has my little precious tot grew over the wks... :)

  1. Hey mum-to-be! Apply more medicated oil woh.. did your mum have morning sickness last time when she was expecting? Cos if she did, means your morning sickness is genetic. if not, means most probably you are expecting a baby girl! =)
