Morning Sickness That Last All DAYS

I feel so hot and no not that kind of hotness.. if it has been the case, I wouldn’t be complaining here, heck you wouldn’t even find me here.. Hot as in I want t take a bath every minute. And then the vomiting and nausea..

Yes it’s morning sickness once again.. and no I am not pregnant.

I am on pills again.. and the side effects is killing me slowly.. it drains my energy.. it has been 4 days since and all I do is stare on my PC, do nothing and feel nauseated.

I really hate this feeling.. I wish I can use other form of birth control. I can’t do tubal ligation due to financial constraints.. and yeah I chicken out. I can’t do depo or injectibles.. high blood will kill me. I can’t do condom, er it’s not effective. I know all of you knows that. And that leaves us to two option, one is IUD and the other, vasectomy.

IUD. I am still contemplating on it.. still afraid..not on the side effects but the act of inserting the T shaped rod on my vagina straight to my cervix. And not to mention that I need to check on it from time to time. Just the thought of it makes me cringe.

Vasectomy. Now that would be the best option, for me of course.. but not to my husband. Can you give me at least two names of a husband who had undergone vasectomy with no issues at all? Let’s face it, our country is very rich in macho culture. And having the ability to have kids is like a macho symbol. And if that ability is gone, it’s like their manhood is gone too. Other concern like, lost interest in sex is another thing. Oh gawd, guys can be pain in the ass.

But little by little, he is thinking about that option.. or at least he is pretending he is interested on it.

Oh wait, I need to throw up now.

Let’s Talk About Partial Hysterectomy

From my article about Tubal Ligation, a very nice lady commented her views about it (it’s Aria!). From here comment, I can sense some discomfort on her part. I researched more and asked around about their Tubal Ligation experiences. I am still gathering information, maybe I will post a first hand information by Friday. I was curious about Partial Hysterectomy (again thanks to Aria). And being a curious cat, I cannot let this one pass. So indulge with me as again I flood your MWF nights with endless medical terms and illustrations.

Let us first define HYSTERECTOMY. It is surgical operation where in a Gynecologist removes the uterus and the cervix. (ouch!) Removal of the uterus can mean only one thing, no more childbirth so this can be considered as a permanent birth control. My research brought me to believe that Hysterectomy is not mainly done to gain permanent birth control. In most cases it is done to prevent cancer cell build ups. In most cases it is done because something came up (like placenta praevia) or for transmen (sex transition to become a man) as part of their sexual transformation.

How about Partial Hysterectomy? Literally, partial means not whole or just a part, so it follows that when you speak of Partial Hysterectomy it means partial removal of the uterus.

I have to stop right now because I am cringing… sorry guys. I can’t be a doctor! waaah!!!

If you have more information about Hysterectomy or Partial Hysterectomy, feel free to comment on the ~~grossest~~ technical (medical) way. On Wednesday, let’s take a look on another permanent birth control, and this time it’s for the boys! yay!

Maternity Sweaters

Last time we went to the mall, I was chilling. I am wearing a dress as usual, a sleeveless one. I blame it on the rainy season, the inside of the mall is colder than I thought. Oh I wish I had some wraps or sweaters with me. All my sweaters in my closet are not for maternity wearing. And since I can always use the power of my fingertips, here are some maternity sweaters and maternity winter clothes that I found.
