Weight: 57.4kg (+1kg since last week [just lol about the weight gain], +10.4kg overall)
Symptoms: acne, heartburn, pelvic girdle pain
seems like the nausea is finally leaving me alone... nil nausea during week 26, but new problems of heartburn as Atty is getting bigger and has started to squish against my stomach, pushing stomach contents up. it was especially bad on 23/6 and 24/6... couldn't sleep much due to the heartburn, even after taking several antacids and when trying to sleep propped up. only around dawn of 24/6 that Atty decided to shift positions and dropped down so she was not pressing on my stomach anymore. only managed to get some sleep that morning zzz..
on 26/6 went for my OGTT and some other blood tests at SA Pathology early in the morning at 8. had to fast at least 10 hours for the OGTT. i was rather nervous about the OGTT as i have some sort of needle phobia ever since being traumatized by all the blood taking and IV drips when i had dengue fever few years ago. but... in the end the 75g glucose solution gave me more problems. the glucose solution was so sweet! and it was carbonated so i kept burping after drinking it. i had to finish it within 5 minutes but it was so hard... urghh got so nauseous drinking it, especially since i always have something savoury in the mornings and getting all that sugar in first thing in the morning was terrible.
i even took my ipad along so i could read an ebook to pass time when waiting the 2 hours... but turns out i was so nauseous that i had to focus on not throwing up that the time went by so quickly. they even gave me a puke bag since i looked so terrible.
before i knew it the alarm sounded for my blood taking 1 hour post glucose solution. after another hour the nausea settled in a little.... but i still felt super gross and only wanted to eat something salty.
luckily King had packed an egg for me... and there was a packet of salt in the car muahahaa. poured the salt onto the egg and it was such a delicacy! nausea immediately felt better after the salt intake. we initially planned on having burgers for lunch but changed plans to get korean fried chicken. turns out the restaurant is actually operated by Chinese lol... anyway the korean fried chicken was quite yummy... remains crispy for a long time. we were the first customers there when they opened so the chicken was cooked with fresh oil hehee...
after lunch we just went shopping at Westfield Tea Tree Plaza... King said i was super energetic that day hahahaa... maybe it's all that surge of sugar lol...

OGTT, oh gross that test! King is so sweet to have packed that egg and salt(:o)! First cook may not be fresh oil, could be reused oil.
