Emo Mummy with Heartburn

Totally feeling emotional these days.

Maybe I should change my nick to Emo Mummy.

My second trimester is going to end soon, Insya'allah will move on to 3rd trimester.
For this part of my pregnancy, I have been tested with the waterbag issue, gastric and heartburn.

Gosh, in all heartburn is the worse. I think its call SEBU-SEBU in Malay.

The pain below my chest, makes me curl wherever I am, on the chair, on the floor or in the car and it feels as if my stomach has been twisted and punched and really, I squirm and cringe my face, and all I say is God's name.

Sometimes, I go in and out of consciousness because of the pain. Usually, this last for around 30 mins or so because the pain goes away.

Its been 3 days straight that I have been hit with heartburn. The food I eat must have contain cilli. Seems that I cant even take a wee bit of cilli. Now, what food does not contain cilli unless those soupy bland food that has no taste. Bahhhh....
Even mum is scared to cook for me these days as her cooking contains lots of cilli. Im being pushed to eat bread or eat at my in-laws. There is always that Patato and Tomato dish at the in laws iftar table. Sobz.... each time I get heartburn, I think of all the sins that I have done in the past and I am thinking that Allah (swt) must be washing these sins away from me....
So much sins I suppose thats why 3 days of heartburn back to back.

I am humbled by this test.

I seriously need his attention.
Maybe ... he loves the car more than me...yeah told you I'm super emotional. Maybe Syawal will bring him closer to me...

For the baby's sake, I have been reading the Quran. Oh wait, shouldn't it ONLY be for Allah's sake.... ?

Little Habib is going through a phase giving me some free time at night.

He does not want to go home with us. He wants to sleep with his Dada and Dadi. I miss him lah but because of the heartburn, my parents always tells me to leave him at their place.

So I have time to read the Quran at night.

Currently reading Surah Luqman. Will move to Surah Muhammad next.

Insya'allah.
