Yeast Infection During Pregnancy

All three of my pregnancies were plagued with pregnancy-related health problems. When I found out that the IUI (Intra-Uterine Insemination) was successful after just one cycle, I was in seventh heaven. I just could not believe that I was pregnant, not until I could see the fetus’ heartbeat on the ultrasound scan. However, when the…

Wacky Pregnancy Hormones

I had 6.5 hours of sleep last night.  When I sat in front of my computer after breakfast this morning, my eyes drooped and my mind was shut instantaneously. I took a 20-minute nap after breakfast. Now, it’s 2pm and as I’m typing this, I can barely open my eyes and my mind is about to go…

Leg Cramps During Pregnancy

I had my 4th attack of leg cramp last night. Leg cramps are by far the most painful ordeal I’ve ever experienced, apart from suffering from a blocked milk duct which caused a terrible breast engorgement for 1 day and several months of painful Carpal Tunnel Syndrome after I had delivered Alycia. Luckily hubby was…

Pregnancy Rash

I have recently developed these tiny red and itchy pregnancy rash on my belly.   The rashes tend to flare up and become red when I am hot and sweaty.  They are rather itchy and if I scratch them, the itch is even more intense.   I try hard not to scratch them but when they are really itchy,…

Light Meals For Me

As my belly is becoming bigger each day, I can only stomach light meals but frequent meals throughout the day.  A heavy meal would leave me feeling really uncomfortable and at times have slight heartburn.  After breakfast of a hard boiled egg, some fruits, a glass of fresh milk, a handful of almonds and some cookies almost everyday,…

Sensitive Uterus

I did mention in my earlier posts before that I have a very sensitive uterus.  When I was carrying Alycia, I was ordered by my Ob&G to be on partial bed-rest as I had frequent contractions that started at week 20.  My tummy would harden and get cramped when I needed to pee, to poo,…

Relief For Varicose Veins

I finally bought myself a pair of support stockings from the pharmacy to relief the bulging varicose veins on my legs.  The pair of stockings cost me RM89, freaking expensive!  Though I had bought the stockings for 3 days already, I had only worn it once for half a day yesterday.  It’s really troublesome to…

No Longer Sexy Legs

That’s how ugly my once sexy legs are now. Old wives tale has it that if you’re expecting a girl, the baby girl will steal all your beauty away! The varicose and spider veins are becoming from bad to worse everyday. The veins on my left leg have now spread to my foot and ankle….

I Am Shedding Skin!

Something really funny is going on with my skin.  I am shedding my old skin to get new skin!  Remember I had posted earlier about my dry and peeling skin?  First, the dryness and peeling were on my hands and tummy.  After about 2 months of skin peeling, I noticed several days ago that the…

Dry Skin Relief

My gynae recommended JoJo E oil from Garden Of Eve and this tiny bottle costs RM5o. Have been applying Jojo oil on my body twice a day for the past 5 days after my shower but sadly, it does not seem to bring much relief to my extremely dry skin.  My skin still looks very dry, is…
