i wasn't bleeding, but was unable to slp for 2 nites though. the most slp 2 hrs then woke up liao, then felt very frustrated and anxieties. i decided to go kk on the 2nd nite n was put on CTG, only then then i know that i was havin regular contraction(5min interval). i didnt felt any pain but just tightening. Was in labour ward for 2 days to stabilize the bb with drip n injection after which i was push to normal ward with CTG on, cant even go toilet zzzz.
After discharge, i had to go for my jab every week to stabilize my ger, on daily medication and also on GTN patch(to dilute the blood vessels ard my tummy area to reduce contraction).Ya, was given HL till one week before my delivery, asked my gynea to break water as i don wan it to happen at hm when my hubby is working. So i was like away from my desk for 3 months and with my 4 months ML(i claimed 3 months first), i was nearly off work for half a yr.
Hello.. for me.. income will be a bit tight.. Need to control spending lo.. Cannt anyhow buy thgs....

I was in R&D. The air I breathe in everyday at work are probably more toxic than the air on the roads. Thus we are worried that it might harm the baby. My colleague was pregnant as well, and gave birth to 2 healthy children, and she continued working til she delivered. Just be more careful when you are working. Make sure to protect yourself from any spillage and fumes.
Lost of income on my side means tightening of belt, and cutting down on a number of impulsive splurges. Hubby and I calculated our financial status before making such a decision. Though it means I can't go out on shopping sprees as often as before, but it earn me a peace of mind in return.

haha.. when i preggy i also sleep alot & lazy to go out... feel tired very ez....
Haha...at least now I know I am a normal preggy hehe...will be back to work after confinement ...
haha, yeah in my first trimester, I sleep alot. Can even sleep the whole afternoon away. Feel super duper tired easily. Luckily hubby was pretty understanding, just ask me to rest whenever I can. Just listen to what your body is telling you, if you are tired, rest more.
If you happen to be out, don't push yourself, maybe go sit and rest in cafes after 30 mins of walking around.

Just take good care of yourself. It might be harder to get a full time job currently, as most employers would be thinking about maternity leave for someone who just start work with them. There are some mothers who work part-time/temp during their pregnancy then subsequent find a full time job after they deliver.
