tummy ache

we had a scare yesterday.

i had some sotanghon with sitcharo and shrimp for breakfast on saturday morning. kausap ko pa si mama habang kumakain. then nakaramdam ako ng sakit ng tyan, so we hung up at nag-restroom ako.

after the trip to the bathroom, masakit pa rin yung tyan ko. contractions. this time, super sakit na! buong tyan, and i didn't have that feeling of having to go. nahiga ako sa kama, namimilipit sa sakit. on and off yung sakit, and je was getting really worried. after half an hour siguro, i felt nauseated. i asked je for the garbage bin.

in a few minutes, tumatawag na ko ng uwak. my entire breakfast, gone. i was feeling miserable.

after a few more minutes, medyo bumuti na yung pakiramdam ko. but we called our doctor na rin to be sure. it took them 10 minutes to return our call (something we found kinda unacceptable). the doctor said i must've eaten something that didn't agree with my tummy. she told us to monitor the contractions within the next few hours. if it becomes often and won't go away, tawagan daw sya ulet.

since medyo bumuti naman pakiramdam ko, nakatulog ako. i woke up past 1pm, very hungry. so lumabas ako ng kuwarto and found some tikoy na niluto ni je. kumain ako ng 2 piraso. then sumakit na naman tyan ko. balik ako sa kama, namimilipit na naman. we jot down the time when i feel the pain, and how long it lasts. nakatulog na naman ako after a few minutes.

then i woke up at 4pm. this time, i'm really, really hungry. i ate some skyflakes and an apple na binalatan ni je. sumakit ulet once yung tyan ko. after that, mga minor contractions na lang. i went online and researched about tummy aches among pregnant women. if this is preterm labor, sabi sa guide na binigay sa amin, the pain will extend sa lower back or sa groin area. yung sakit na nararamdaman ko is just within the tummy. but i dunno. i can't really tell kung anong klaseng sakit nga ba to. di ko pa naman alam how real labor contractions feel eh. and every woman's got different pain thresholds. what doesn't hurt sa isa, might be intolerable pain sa isa. di ba? all i know is it hurts like hell! kung wala pa to sa labor contractions... juskolord, please help us! =D

that night, dumaan kami sa bday party ng sis-in-law ko. kumain ako ng 1 slice ng embotido, 1 slice ng lemon cake, 2 baso ng sago't gulaman, and a few spoonfuls of tiramisu. i had minor contractions ulet that night, but hindi naman nagtuloy.

since pistoy is still happily kicking inside me as of this writing, we suspected na baka nagkaron lang ako ng stomach flu or diarrhea. i am still watching what i eat. i had bread last night after coming home from the party, walang palaman. di muna ako nag-milk kagabi. this morning, i had bread ulet, with blackberry jam and with nutella. i've had a couple of mini-bottles of yakult na rin. puro water muna (except for the single sip of McDo iced coffee kanina after hearing mass, hehe!).

i was able to have a normal lunch today (sinampalukang manok, rice and binalatan na grapes for dessert), and no pain so far. *knock on wood*

i really hope wala namang ibang nangyayari sa akin. and i hope wala namang complications kay pistoy yung 1 day na halos wala akong kainin. this is one of the things na ang hirap sa pregnancy, yung paranoia. ok lang kung ako lang may sakit, wag lang madadamay si pistoy.
