Third PPUM checkup : 26 August 2009

This round, I drove myself to the checkup. Hubby wasn't free to take time off work. I reached PPUM around 7.15am. Managed to get the number 1002, second person. My urine and blood pressure test is normal. I put on 6.1kg, 2.5kg more than the second checkup.
This time I do not have to wait long to be called in. I told the doc about my diarrhea. I have been passing out soft watery type for the past one week. I do not know if it is due to the milk I drank. I went to buy another can of milk, and the Dumex salesperson came to promote the brand. I just thought why not I try once since it is the original taste and claimed to be the lowest fat content of all brands.
Doc said it shouldn't be the case. Somehow I need to monitor myself. And this round, they gave me a tetanus shot. Tetanus as defined in the Wikipedia as follows:-

Tetanus
, also called lockjaw, is a medical condition characterized by a prolonged contraction of skeletal muscle fibers. The primary symptoms are caused by tetanospasmin, a neurotoxin produced by the Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani. Infection generally occurs through wound contamination and often involves a cut or deep puncture wound. As the infection progresses, muscle spasms develop in the jaw (thus the name "lockjaw") and elsewhere in the body.[1] Infection can be prevented by proper immunization and by post-exposure prophylaxis.[2]

This shot is the first dose, there will be two doses all together. Next would be a month later. The shot can last for about three years. Whichever come earlier, either 3 years or next pregnancy, I would need to repeat this step again.
I went back to office after lunch. And for the first time, I felt Angel's major movement. Angel is kinda of pushing my belly from left to right and I can feel the impact. I do not know if Angel is moving upside down. Not only that, I felt that my belly is growing very fast. Somehow I felt tired than before. Poor me, I have to wash my own clothes. I really hoping that Sept 20 will come very very soon. I really need a washing machine. I'm so restless now!!!!!
