Fast Forward Mode

Dear Diary

5-April-2011
Fast forward mode is not good for me and my body as well. I had to complete 4 projects in a day and moreover 2 of the projects without proper infrastructure make me even stress. I was trying very hard to setup the infrastructure so that it can make my life easier but because of setup error/CD error/PC error, it delays the progress. By the end of the business day, I still struggle with the infrastructure. I was totally at stress mode and I cannot think straight.

I still had to rush to pick-up my children and then quickly rushed home and try to setup the same infrastructure at my home PC and prayed so hard that it will work. By the time it really worked, it already 1am in the morning. Oh gosh, I need to pump my milk and by the time I ready to sleep, it was already 2.15am.

By about 5 am, JE was crying for milk. I need to wake-up and warm up the milk and fed her. By the time she finished up the milk, it was already 5.30am – it was the time I usually wake-up.

Pump milk, washed all milk bottles, sterilise them, prepared JC’s lunch box, prepared his shower bag, prepared JE shower bag, packed my breast pump, packed my notebook and get myself ready, it was already 7.45am.

Time to wake JC up, reason with him why he needs to go to school and wait for him to packed things such as his choo-choo train, his yellow car, Pooh, Tigger, Allie, his favourite blanket and a pillow – reach the car at 8.15am.

6-April-2011
I was down with slight fever.  Still go to work because still have unfinished projects on hand.

7-April-2011
Fever never subside instead it keep on rising to 38.7 officially high fever accompany with heavy head and all my body & my bones were aching. Still go to work because got report writing need to be done.

Then received an urgent project and need to be complete by today.

I had a nap during lunch time and after waking up I was feeling half-dead.  I went to see doctor (GP) because I afraid it might be dengue fever.

Waited for 2 hours only managed to see the doctor. Sigh. She told me have to wait till day 4 and if fever still high then only go for platelet test. I was given 3 types of medicine.

Indication - Penicillin antibiotic.

Fetal Risk - No reports linking it’s use to congenital defects.

Breast Feeding - Excreted into milk in small amounts. No adverse effects observed, however it can modify the bowel flora and interfere with the interpretation of culture results in exposed infants.

Indication - Analgesic, antipyretic.

Fetal Risk - Crosses the placenta. In therapeutic doses it is safe for short-term use. No well controlled human data, but there has been reports that maternal toxic doses can cause fetal liver toxicity, kidney abnormalities and intrauterine death.

Suggested possible association with congenital dislocation of the hip and club foot if used anytime during pregnancy.

Exposure to large doses of acetaminophen and propoxyphene throughout pregnancy can cause craniofacial and digital anomalies and infant withdrawal symptoms.

Breast Feeding - Excreted into milk in small amounts. Safe in breast feeding but reported single case of maculopapular rash in exposed infants.

Cinnarizine (for giddiness)
Indication - Antihistamine.

Fetal Risk - No adequate human data, but Use of antihistamines in the last two weeks of pregnancy may cause retrolental fibro plasia in premature infants.

Breast Feeding - Not recommended for use in nursing mothers due to the potential adverse effects on infants like unusual excitement or irritability.

Call me paranoid.  I rather be safe than sorry. I always check my medicine before I consumed them especially when I am breastfeeding.
