blood result...

i had been informed by the nurse during my recent antenatal check up about my OGTT result test. alhamdulillah, the result was normal with fasting blood glucose of 3.8 and 2-hours post OGTT 7.2. that convinced me that i dont have any gestational diabetes. Alhamdulillah..

the other blood test taken by the GP which includes U+E and TFT were normal as well except for the Hb. my Hb during the fingerprick test last monday was 11.8, but the serum Hb shows much lower count than that which was only 11.2.

because of mild anemia shown from the blood test, the GP rang me yesterday to take one Galfer (ferrous fumarate) daily.ehe..i felt honoured when the GP rang me. aha..mcm important person/patient plak. aha..

well. i was not shocked receiving this news since the same thing happened during my last pregnancy as well. in fact, it was more worse than this time. my Hb went down to 8ish when i was carrying afnan. from initial 1 tab of Galfer a day, i had to take 2 tabs daily instead after that. the problem with galfer was, besides mild constipation that i suffered from the medication, i really hated it when i had to go to the loo to pass the bowel motion. yuck, the colour of the stool was unimaginable. black tarry stool, i tell u. huhu...

i think the main reason i was anemic last time because i had not have proper healthy diet. i remember i was just starting my job as medical intern that time, where i was busy with work all the time. going to work at 8am, and back home at 6pm,(even though we are rostered working from 9-5 daily) i sometimes did not have any lunch at all during the day. i still remember, sometimes, when i was oncall, my so-called-lunch was at 11pm which i got from the vending machine. usually, i would be very hypoglycaemic and energy-drained by that time, so, i would buy something sugary like coke drink and kinder-bueno chocolate. after having the sugar-bust, then i would have some energy to continue working in the wards. it was always like that...up to the very last few months before the end of pregnancy, by that time,i would try to find reason for myself to skip from the long ward-round to go for the lunch. i could not bear having an empty stomach walking in the wards after my 32nd week of my pregnancy, otherwise, i would feel very dizzy and tired.

so, this time, the anemia is not as severe as my previous one. i think it is mainly because i am currently at home and able to look after myself well. too well,i think since i have gained 10 kilos already. aha....br 7 bulan...kalau 9 bulan, mcm belon la nampaknya...

and...oh yes, i was also informed by the nurse in CUMH yesterday that my urine test came back as positive for mixed growth with >30,000 orgnsms in it. she asked me to repeat the urine sample in the GP during my next visit there.

well, this isnt new as well. during afnan's, i had this B-streptococcus infection in my urine. i was even prescribed with amoxicillin during that time. since i was not very compliance with meds, hubby had to remind myself everytime to take the tablet. aha..bad me. susah betul nak mkn ubat.

even during this 2nd pregnancy, they advised me to take aspirin 75mg daily as a precaution. but i know myself well. i would not be compliant with it. so, i dont take it. besides, there is no concrete evidence that aspirin would help in my situation. i had no lupus or any previous thrombotic event that would put me at risk if i dont take aspirin(in my opinion). tp xtahula...harap2 xdela efek kat baby sbb x amek aspirin ni...huhu.
