A Day With a Pregnant Lady

Dec 17 – Yest

Vanitha’s health is deteriorating, Today I decided to stay back and work from home ( tried ), I did manage to get some work done, but today I had the first hand experience of what she was going through.

It was miserable even to watch must be really hard for her to go through all this.  She got up at around 6 AM, sleep walked to the kitchen and had her milk with Mother’s Horlicks ( Doc Recommended ) and then went back to sleep.  Me got up at the same time, connected my Laptop and started work early as I wanted to finish most of it as soon as possible. During this while I forget that Vanitha needs to have something every two hours, I felt that she is tired and should not be woken up for breakfast ( nor did I take any measures to buy something for her ). She got up around 10 AM, again walked to the living room with eyes half closed and told she was extremely Hungry, I did ask her if I could buy something for her, but she denied and went to kitchen to prepare breakfast – Upit / Upma.

She could not cook it but since it was absolutely necessity to have breakfast she hurried up and prepared Upma, It did not taste that good, but somehow managed to have some of it., All this while she would run to the wash basin to puke every 15 min.

After that I had got some fruits from a nearby Super Market, I peeled the Pomegranate ( Vanitha has some sort of skin problem when she peels that fruit ) and gave it to her, she managed to have half of it and the other half had forcibly with some salt and masala. That also did not make her feel better, she felt she could vomit any moment and every time she would run to the sink but nothing would come out, making her feel ever worse.

Then came the time for Lunch, again she was not in a state to cook anything, I  bought a meal from a nearby restaurant, had lil of that felt good for some time in in about 40 Min everything she ate came out, It was difficult, there was nothing I could do to make her feel better, All I could do was pat her back and give her some water but nothing to ease her pain.

Eve got some Tender Coconut Water, again she did not feel like having that, we decided to have idlies from the nearby Restaurant for dinner, she had three idlis and late night again she vomited everything she had for dinner, the entire process was very tire-full for her, she felt extremely week and a lot frustrated.

Around 2 AM she again felt hungry obvious coz everything she had had already come out, she wanted some milk, so went to the kitchen and boiled the last available milk that I could trace from the refrigerator.  She felt a lil better having milk but was worried what would she do tom, as I will not be there at home, I promised to return back from work as soon as possible. I Hope she is doing good right now .
