Knowledge is the power

After the first visit to the hospital, we got all busy with our things.

Doctor had prescribed couple of tablets, which I was gulping everyday. My nausea was getting worse day by day. Things were pretty bad, so much so that I stopped stepping inside the kitchen altogether. But that was not end of it. I could now smell things being cooked in other flats as well... and it was not pleasant at all. Aaditya suggested I could work as a police dog part time.

LOL.

We tried to hire cooks, but the way they cooked made me more sick. The place we rented, had very few restaurants nearby. The traffic on Sarjapur Road was not helping either. If we decided to eat out, it used to take about 3-4 hours. I switched to ordering food, but it just meant that every meal became kinda gamble. I used to order stuff and hope for something edible to arrive. It's hard to imagine taste with the description they provide on the online menu card. The pictures don't help much either. It's never wysiwyg.

Food was becoming a major problem. It made other things look trivial for a while. One fine day, I realized that it's been long since I had visited my Doc. When we went to the hospital the next day, she seemed a bit amused by me. Apparently, I was supposed to meet her every month regularly, which I didn't know to start with. I was hoping that she would give me a sort of time line or something to follow. Now the problem was that we missed a critical ultrasound scan (Nuchal scan), which had to be done before 14th week. I was totally psyched (and annoyed with the doctor) when I realized what that test was supposed to be for.

After reaching home, I started reading on all the stuff related to pregnancy. I downloaded pregnancy calendars for five different sites, so that I would not miss any other things.

In the process of understanding the tests, I had to read up lot of other stuff, which was not pleasant at all. The more I got to read about the problems, more worried I got about the whole thing.

After a certain point, I decided to stop reading all such stuff... too much knowledge is not so good after all.
