Deliriously Scary....

It was a common day for me, all I did was sleep the whole day since I've been feeling queasy and nauseated very early in the morning. It's weird that I felt exhausted when I wasn't even doing anything at all. But I was okay, I was getting the hang of it all. It wasn't something new.

That morning, I asked Leih to get me some local "kutsinta" with shredded coconut for breakfast. He happily obliged to my craving and got me some from the market. Before I went back to sleep, I almost finished it all.I think it was the coconut which gave me the upset stomach as I was suffering from LBM that very same night.

It was already 9pm when I started feeling a terrible discomfort in my tummy. Little did I know that I would be in a two-hour ordeal after that. I was in and out of the comfort room, drenched in cold sweat, crying out of pain. I thought I was losing my baby that night. The pain was agonizing. I even almost lost my consciousness for a minute or two, much thanks to my mom who never left me and hugged me until the ordeal was over. I never had the chance to wake up Leih since I knew he too was suffering from migraine. Thank God, the pain subsided little by little and after the ordeal was over, I was literally knocked out.

Looking back at that night, I could say it was one of the most scary moments in my life. Just feeling the pain on my lower abdomen was enough to drive me to think that my pregnancy days were over. The idea of losing what could have been my first baby was a nightmare, something I wouldn't wish to experience. I was thinking, if labor would be synonymous to the pain I felt that night, then I'm in for a very frightful experience in the next 7 months. But then again, it would be unwise for me to worry about that this early.

That night, before I fell asleep, I hugged my mother tightly, thanking her for never leaving my side.. I realized how much help and caring I was getting from my mom. Now, she's been more attentive to my every pain, to all the things I need. I am indeed so lucky to have her especially at times like these.

And just writing this, I am in tears again. 'Guess it's part of my mood swing but who cares, I'm glad that night's finally over.. =)
