Another Bentan Episodes..

I was feeling healthier for the past few days since it is almost a month now I’m in confinement. So I thought it was all OK for me to go down and cook, wash and do the usual not-heavy house chores. It was OK on Monday, I even cooked pindang ikan, fried some fish and stir fried vegetable for lunch and dinner.

On Tuesday, Hubby went to work after bathing our son and I continued sleeping for a while. Woke up around 2 and went down to cook lunch. Hubby has cooked rice before he left for work so I thought I would cook sup sayur and fry fish.

While cooking, I put the clothes in the washer machine. I cleared up the dishes in the sink while frying the fish. And after everything was settled, I had my lunch at around 4pm. Towards the end of eating my lunch, I felt dizzy and my head started to spin. I quickly finished my lunch and sat down on the sofa. Luckily the baby was sleeping peacefully in the playpen.

I decided to go and lie down on the bed upstairs. I almost fainted while climbing the stairs with baby in my arm. I took a quick cold shower, thinking I would feel better. But then since the dizziness didn’t subside, I decided to call Hubby and asked him to come home.

When Hubby came home, I asked him to fill up the Rubbermaid water bottle with hot water, hoping that a tuam on my tummy will help soothe the uneasy feeling. I knew it must be something that I ate causing the angin and bentan.

Hubby took the baby down so that I can rest. After I tuam the tummy, thigh, back and the waist area, I felt much better and fell asleep. Honestly this was not the first time I had these bentan episodes, but surely so far it was the worst. Now definitely I have to stick with the berpantang regime more diligently for another 2 weeks.
