Weight: 59.8kg (+0.4kg in the past week, overall +12.8kg)
Symptoms: acne, heartburn, nasal congestion, shortness of breath, stretchmarks (have had them for a few weeks now.. light pinkish red streaks on the bottom area of my tummy. they seem to be lengthening and darkening gradually too.. and more are showing up)
Summary of the week:
25/7 woke up around 3:30am due to reflux that brought up stomach contents all the way to the back of my throat. woke up coughing.. i guess this is how people get aspiration pneumonia. tried to drink quite a bit of water to neutralize the acidity but didn't really help. tried to turn to my right side to sleep (was sleeping on my left side) but as soon as i laid down the reflux would act up. had to sleep propped up... not very good sleep quality.
also went for our breastfeeding antenatal class today. my breathlessness is getting worse and i had nasal congestion at night which made breathing even more difficult.
26/7 the heartburn continues... still have to sleep propped up. i think sleeping propped up will be the theme for the rest of the pregnancy since Atty is growing bigger and really pressing against my stomach at times.
27/7 haemorrhoids bled++ after bowel movement. and then continued bleeding... sighs... hello haemorrhoids, i'm already anaemic so please be cooperative and let me conserve some iron... kthxbye
28/7 took some maternity photos at Willunga (see previous post)
29/7 headache after drinking diet root beer?
30/7 very bad sleep quality... kept sleeping and waking up multiple times through the night and morning. had headache again but did not take any diet drinks today. maybe the headache is not related to the diet drinks
31/7 routine midwife appointment today. my BP was 105/55, on the low side. apparently low BP can cause headaches too... is that the cause of my random headaches? fundal height is 31cm, Atty's heartrate is 145bpm. she is as active as ever... swimming around and doesn't like to be squished. i always thought the round bulge on the right side of my tummy is Atty's head but the midwife said it's her butt hahaha. i have been patting that side thinking it's her head for a long while hehee.
Hmm... your BP has been low during pregnancy. In SG, you commented on raised BP, now it is the other way round.
