Rascal at 20 weeks

FA(Fetal Anomaly)  Scan today at Thomson Medical.

And now we know it's a boy.

So there was a lot of hand movements and at one point i think the rascal did a somersault.
Had to stop for twice to move jump around so rascal would turn around to scan the heart and nasal bone.
Thank goodness for a patient sonographer.

Hello Pain & Itch

Day 2
8 Nov 2014

Too painful. Had to see a doctor.

Doctor: *checks mouth, checks ear* I think you have shingles.
Me: Erm, you think? so can confirm?
Doctor: Looks like it, I'll give you anti-viral meds and cream.
Me: ok, is it contagious?
Doctor: No. ok, you wait outside.

Me on the phone with hubs: wtf doctor. say i got shingles but cannot confirm still give me meds. *angry* should have just gone to ah loke clinic(my usual doctor).

Damage: $58


Day 3
9 Nov 2014

Still painful. Woke up a few times in the night due to pain and itch.
Dr Caleb is only in after 12pm.
And it's my dad's birthday celebration at Mt Faber.

Went to See Caleb after event,

me: hi, i got shingles.
Caleb: how do you know?
me: I went to see doctor near my place yesterday, and the dr say maybe i got shingles and gave me meds, but i wasn't sure if i should take the meds, so seeking a second opinion from you.

Caleb: *checks eye* you recommend you go to A&E.

me: huh can don't want or not. A&E must wait 4 hours. I'm in pain and I'm tired.

Caleb: ok, but you must take care of your eyes, any pain or redness must go to A&E, the damage may be permanent, worst case is going blind.

me: ok your warning already registered.

*continue talking for next 15 mins*

Caleb: blah blah and it's contagious, stay away from preggers. their immune system is weaker. they may get it from you. i give you mc, you rest at home this week.

me: huh, but i good life at work now leh. super light duty.

Caleb: i don't care, i already give you mc liao.

me: ok, you give doesn't mean i must use hor.

Damage: $36

What I have: Little red patches of rashes look alike, but actually they are small blisters.
What I feel: Itch then pain, and pain and pain.
What it is called: Shingles / zoster
What it is: Second degree of chicken pox
How it happened: Preggers have weaker immune system, so I might have caught it from a disease carrier.
