Since I couldn't sleep at 12:56am -.-, I decided why not blog about something that I learned during this pregnancy.
When I was still very new in my pregnancy, I've had occasional episodes of vomiting that I honestly thought it was "morning sickness", until my mum and makcik (who already gave birth to 5 children & 9 children respectively - kira dah experienced la haha) told me, "Morning sickness bila muntah-muntah pahit & kuning. Tak suka".
So my mind went back to all my vomiting episodes and thought hmm...they were all not yellow-ish in colour. In fact, I threw up the exact same food I ate few minutes ago then. I made a quick google search and find out that it was actually heartburn & acid reflux. Lerrr...
I came to understand that it happens to some women during pregnancy; where your oesophagus gets narrower than usual due to the hormones producing in your system. And because your gut is narrower, you have to eat in smaller portions and not lie down after eating (say goodbye to baring after makan like a buaya lapar). You have to sit up straight and burpppp yourself out sampai puas. Best is not to eat right before your sleeping time - but being pregnant makes you hungryyyy so........
So yep, another reason why I ain't sleeping yet is because I'm having a heartburn right now and still burping myself away because the kway teow I ate during buka just now, is trying to merlion out of my system. Gross right? But things we go through when we're pregnant... All for the baby and pahala insya'Allah.
Speaking of which, lil bubs (LB) is at 16 weeks 3 days! :) Grow healthy and strong, LB!
