red blood cell haemoglobin的八卦，Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

#30weekspregnant
EDD: 22 June 2021

This is how my 🔺anxiety🔻 kicks in when my nurse shared bout labour symptoms and told me to start preparing my hospital bag as early as I can.. She said, don’t rely on your husband, later he’ll be more panic n confused 😅😅😅

💁🏻‍♀️Review from yesterday’s scan 👩🏻‍⚕️
✅Baby’s heartbeat is 131 (last check was 136)
✅Mummy’s haemoglobin reading is 13.4 (very good 😍👏🏼)
✅Weight increased by 0.8kg (very very good 💯 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 2𝙠𝙜𝙨 𝙞𝙣 2 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙨 🥵)
✅Uterus height is 29cm (normal even though short by 2cm frm prediction. Normal is -/+2cm)

👉🏻 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 37 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢 𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙧/ 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄’𝙢 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝 𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙠 𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙤𝙧𝙮 (𝙖𝙜𝙚, 𝙬𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩, 𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙚𝙩𝙘)

Sign to start take note for labour:
⚠️Cramps and increased back pain
⚠️Tummy/ Abdomen contraction (hardens)
⚠️Mucus discharge (with blood stains)
⚠️Water bag broke/ leak (odorless & colourless when seen on pantyliner)

Start to prepare “Hospital bag” now:
✅NB diapers
✅NB clothes x 1 set
✅Towel/ swaddle, baby body shampoo etc
✅Sarung and maternity pad for mother and new clothes for discharge

❌Do not wash baby’s clothes using adult’s detergent, sensitive for NB delicate skin (may cause rashes)
❌Do not keep baby’s clothes in exposed place, best in a storage container to prevent unnecessary infection when worn
❌Avoid the usage of “ubat gegat” (moth ball) near baby’s clothes. The presence of G6PD will break down red blood cell in baby’s body

Ok despite all the anxieties I’m getting, I’m still trying my best to stay calm n take one step at a time. Counting my baby’s kick is also giving me lots of worries bcs I’m always moving n I don’t seem to notice them until evening or when I’m ready to sleep. 😞 Working on a private space with 𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 helps with my emotional stability n state of mind too. 💯 I need to know what’s best for myself and take necessary measures and not let anyone affect me with their negative aura or emotional breakdown.

First time chemo?
You need to read this.

I understand that there are many "freshman" in April that will be going for their first chemotherapy.
So I thought these tips below will help...

Chemotherapy can leave you feeling wiped out. It isn’t a one-and-done treatment — it’s a journey and, as with any journey, planning ahead can make the road less bumpy.

5 things you need to take note before you go for your first chemotherapy

1. Start eating healthy
Plan a balance diets. More greens. Drink 2litre of water a day. Fruits before meal (30-60 mins before). Take moderate portion of meat.

*** I had fresh coconut juice on daily basis. I ate fruits before meals which means minimum of 3 fruits a day. I took banana n papaya too to help with possible constipation caused by chemo. I ate lots of fish, sometimes chicken and pork. I don't take beef or lamb due to personal preference. I ate lots of high iron veges like spinach and black fungus - it helps to increase my red blood cell (haemoglobin). If haemoglobin is low, body will not be able to proceed with chemo. You either delay the process or require blood transfusion. So plan wisely and eat well.

2. Practice proper hygiene, avoid germs
- Wash and sanitize your hand after going toilet (esp hospital n public toilet)
- Stay away from crowded places. But if you need to do some marketing / shopping, put a mask on.
- Reduce the visits from friends, you might get infected with virus like flu or even get fever after come in contact with them (they might not realized as their body immune system is fighting the viruses / germs).
- Avoid sick ppl. If anyone is down w fever /flu (example) in the family, don't share your food or getting too near. Family members needs to be equally cautious on their own health too if they have cancer patient in the family.
- If possible, reduce the contact with pets

3. Be emotionally prepared
- Get yourself ready to expect and accept the weaker (physically) and different side of you. Dealing with all the side effects. Dealing with people who are not familiar with cancer. Dealing with all the NO - NO s from different people (check with doctor to clarify further). Just be prepared.

4. Find your motivation
- It's going to be bored during the chemo intervals. It's going to be 3 weeks once. Find something to do. Like growing a plant (I grow a tomato but it died in e end! Too much of water! Hahaha). Or picking up new hobby like cooking and baking. Watch movies / dramas!
Don't stay in the bed all day long. It's not going to help you. Do light exercise.
Prepare a to do list! When you recover, what you want to do? I went to the beach after I recover! And I brought my parents along too!

5. Be positive and have patience
- understand that people closed to you are affected by your diagnosis too. You might be physically challenged going through this ordeal but trust me, you're not alone. Your husband, your wife, childrens, parents, boyfriend, girlfriend... They're as heartbroken and confused as you too. Have patience dealing with them. Affected family need to have patience dealing with chemo patient too.
