That is my stress level for today, and the percentage ain't do justice for what i feel right now and what happened today. Kepala ini berdenyut2 and i can't sleep properly or eat properly for almost 3 days in a row. Why? it's bc of my new job. It's not that i hate my job [but i hate it, in my condition like this - i'm weak for not having a proper rest and not eating well maka jadik la not energetic, less aggressive krn workload yg byk giler selori files perday, energy tlh di sapped for trying to cope with new things, hving to learn fast, decide fast n constantly worried for my lil one inside. To top it off having to deal with 1 typical gomen mkck worker yg berkire, thinks she is the boss, give like ZILLLLIOOooonn answers to my question and talked more than me!!! and also, there's anor 1 typical gomen guy who went m.i.a fr work about 2mths n who's coming back tomorrow as my staff [what? he thinks this is his gfather's office?]. It's a crazy workload and 2 lunatic staff to be given to a coping 1st time pregnant lady whom is petite ok!!! I'm soooo stressed, it's just too much!!! The first day, i cried my eyes out at nite..because my tummy feels so tight & painful -Dh sudah speechless & worried, second day at work was tiring like hell i hv a truckload stuff to deal with till 5:30 which left me with no appetite, vomiting out of stress and cannot sleep at nite due to stress, the third day is getting worse..i was extremely tired in a.m- feel like crying but i know once i start crying (jwpnnyer takkan bole keje today), my brain stops working & i keep calling my good fren Mr S for help like more than 7 times, my low abdomen starts to feel painful like cramp tibe2 in the middle [i was like...uh, adakah ini mcm perasaan nk terberanak?] thank god..after drinking half a bottle of water the pain subside, and now...i'm having a stress headache [the kind of back of neck pain sampai tulang belakang & whole body is aching].
Look..what i found here:
Job stress, noise, long periods of standing and work weeks of more than 40 hours all greatly increase the risk of giving birth to premature babies, a study has found. Dr. Johnson said. "My recommendations to all working women who are pregnant is that they not stand for prolonged periods of time, that they not work for more than eight-hour days or for more than 40-hour weeks."
Barbara Luke, an associate professor at the University of Michigan and an author of the study, said the decision on when to leave work during pregnancy should be based on a woman's job and medical history.
She said it was very important to avoid these risks during the second half of pregnancy.
...See, mungkin betul the cramp today is the first hint sign of contraction. Maybe my lil one is saying "mommy slow down, don't over-test me..don't push yourself too hard, ur stress level is increasing and it's suffocating me". *sigh...even if i hv a doctor's recommendation, what can i do with it???? i hv no choice...bc the workload is fixed for me [if per day there are a truckload of files..i do not hv a choice but to deal with it.] ...I hv no choice except the only alternative is to go for unpaid leave and causing trouble to my colleagues. Hmmm..it's a hard decision to make.
I've been telling myself to hold on, wait & see...but what am i waiting for? for stress to subside or for a strong signal to stop? ...i guess..which comes first. It's very risky tho playing this kind of waiting game.
No, i'm not whiny, or trying to runaway fr work responsibilities, or trying to find excuse to stay at home [i've experienced the worst thing before this job and i survived for 1 year or maybe more if i was not transferred]. I do feel worried if tidak di confirm (tp fhm kalau org tanak confirmkan..krn byk sgt mc tanpa sengaja), i will feel guilty if i cause trouble to my good colleagues, i will feel guilty towards my boss and staff juga. But...i feel lebih worried with my condition+ the lil one's condition. Sekian, my complaint for today.
We hv been surveying for infant carrier and baby car seats. Hanya survey aje, for our future convenient (tau mane nk pegi & terus je beli). After surveying, we decided to buy infant carrier first..later2 baru beli car seat. Because infant carrier cum car seat is like 2 in 1 (carrier+car seat) until our lil one is 1 yr++. That gives us loads of time to save for a good car seat.
There are so many choices from the cheapest to the expensive range. Of course, the one that caught my eye..is the colourful one and errr...expensivenyer la pulak mcm graco, peg perego, maxi cosi. The one yg reasonable like safety 1st, the models in m'sia tak byk pulak. Halford is sooo small..same goes to sweet cherry [i don't mind whether it's a local or imported brand, but the most important thing is i prefer an infant carrier with a big space like safety 1st]. Anyway...we still haven't found the right brand for infant carrier cum car seat since we can't find the right one.
So, i googled for infant carrier and car seat reviews, and found this comment:
In my opinion, there is no need to get baby car seats that are too expensive or branded (unless you have a lot of money to spare), for few reasons:
1. Baby outgrows it very quickly.
My baby is only 3 months old and already reaching the limit of 60 cm (in terms of head-to-toe length) of the infant car seat. So I think by 5 months of age, he can’t fit into his infant car seat anymore.
2. When a baby is in the car, as a responsible parent, we will naturally take precautions and be more careful when driving and keep out of the way of aggressive/dangerous/reckless drivers.
Take all precautions like rear facing, etc. Even the most expensive brands of baby car seat will break apart if the crash impact is too great!
3. Whether it’s Sweet Cherry or some unknown brand, this kind of thing is all OEM products (but for imported brands, I dare not say lah). E.g. I went to Jusco and saw a Sweet Cherry infant car seat (selling for RM130). So I read the car seat’s manual leaflet to see how to install etc. Then other time, I went to Tesco and saw this infant car seat by the brand Otomo (selling for RM90, then later a 3-day promotion selling for RM50!) and saw that the manual leaflet is exactly the same kind of printing and sentences as Sweet Cherry’s!

As much as i hate to admit [krn the graco seems so cute and adorable] but i hv to agree with the comment, especially comment no 1 and 2. However, for comment no. 3.....is it true ade infant carrier selling at rm50??? Murahnyer?? So, my conclusion is...try my best to find a cheap but wide space infant carrier cum car seat (yg ade base) if i can't find a wide space one, perhaps i shd just opt for a cheap infant carrier so i can buy other important stuff. So, if u saw anywhere a wide space infant carrier (yg tidak kecik spt halford/sweet cherry), do tell me. Why do i prefer a wide space one? mcm comment no. 1 la, i dont want my lil one outgrows the infant carrier by 5months (if the lil one is my size it wud not outgrow the infant carrier but if the lil one mcm the daddy?? mmg akan outgrows.) Perhaps here it means, i still hv to look for an imported brand yg mane it is usually bigger in size and space and huhu..expensive.
