Last night, I was awake from my sleep by a sharp abdominal pain. The sharp pain lasted about an hour (or maybe less – it felt like eternality though!!) and followed by a nagging pain all night. It went away after Matt prayed for me but returned a while later. The pain resembled a gastric attack that I used to have during my teenage years. The pain is still there even now….
Consulted the midwife this morning and the conclusion is that it probably isn’t related to the pregnancy and there’s nothing she could do about it. The given advise it to see my doctor if the pain persists.
Adolescent flashback:
During my teenage years, I was obsessed with losing weight. I weight 55-56kgs with a height of 1.62m. I wasn’t skinny neither was I fat. But I was a lot bigger than most of my peers. So, I starved, took laxative tablets to empty my bowel which gave me a false sense of slimness, and I exercised like mad. Accompanied by bad dietary habits, I suffered the occasional gastric attacks which would send me rolling in bed in excruciating pain. I felt the same pain last night.
Note: At one stage my weight went down to 49kg, and I felt weak and lacked any physical strength. I feel optimal when I weight about 52kg.
