23 weeks

I am slightly more than half way through this pregnancy. I thank God for His blessings and pray that he continues to be with us.

Btw, last Friday, after a wonderfully delicious fish head curry, I had an allergic reaction! There were numerous reddish bumps like mosquito bites; they started on my arms and legs and later spread to my upper and lower body. I itched so badly. I think most of all, I was afraid it might affect the baby. So, we rushed to the A&E at Fremantle Hospital.

The doctor came after almost 1.5hours of waiting. He asked me to take the anti-histamine tablet if the itch was real bad. I was uncomfortable with taking any drug. Anyway, by the time I got to see the doctor, the inflammation was starting to subside and the itch was bearable. So I left the hosiptal hoping that the rash would go away soon. Doctor said it would probably subside completely by the next day. Indeed, I thank God that by midnight almost all the rash had already disappeared.
