I'm very sick!
I am really sick!
This is the 1st time I fall sick since last June.
3 days ago I woke up with a heavy head and painful joint, I knew I had fever but I still try my best to complete the daily baby caring routine and drink as much water as I can to cool the body down.
RY took half day off to relieve me from bb caring so that I can rest, he wanted to bring me to doctor but I refused as I am breast feeding and don't think I'd take any medication.
By evening, my condition got worst, I started to vomit and too frail to eat or drink.
I slept thru the night while RY attend to baby.
The next morning, my fever subsided but I had diarrhea.
I was very stubborn and refused to go to doc as I thought my body will self heal by passing out the toxins.
My stomach was also churning with pain.
I still ve fever on and off.
By evening, the diarrhea was really bad that despite taking lomotil, it still didn't stop the diarrhea.
I finally gave up and went to the doc.
The doc suspected that I might ve rotavirus infection since it's like an epidemic in SG recently. He has a few patients who suffered the same as me and need to be hospitalized since normal antibiotic didnt work.
I was told to go to hospital if the jab and other medication he gave me didn't stop my diarrhea the next day.
I was still having mild diarrhea yesterday and RY wanted to admit me to hospital, again I refused as I need to care for my bb as I ve no help.
I tried my best to rest and hydrate myself, hoping that the body will heal faster.
Today is the 4th day and I sincerely hope that I'd recover well.
This rotavirus is really potent, I ve lost 3kg within 3 days.
The body just shut down and refused any intake of food, so I didn't eat or drink much but still diarrhea >20 times within a day.
I feel really sorry for my bb that i can't attend to her fully and my milk production has significantly reduced and she not drinking enough.
I am very upset and angry with myself that I fell so ill, I am everything to my baby and yet I am helpless sitting there just watching her cry as I was too weak to carry or pacify her.
I must get well soon for my baby!
My poor husband has to care for her on my behalf.
A SAHM's (with no helper) fear is to fall sick!
