I'm still anaemic, angels

 My dear angels,

Nothing scares me more than having to know there's a risk of losing you.

I've passed my first trimester of carrying my firstborn but 

as I'm now in 15 weeks of pregnancy, 

I'm still anaemic and my haemoglobin level is still low.

In fact, it gets lower by weeks.

Yesterday, after my biweekly checkup at government clinic,

I talked to my Guya girl, Dr Hannah (or you would call her Aunty Hannah)

about my blood test result.

She advised me to eat iron-rich food and take the iron supplement as per doctor's instruction.

But what worries her, is I probably need to do anaemia workup,

to understand deeper, why does my haemoglobin level keep decreasing.

I need to maintain it more 9,

or else it will harm you,

and that scares me the most.

I don't want to lose anyone

and I couldn't help but crying about it last night.

But Abah comforted me,

I'm lucky to be diagnosed earlier,

so I can do whatever it takes to improve my condition.

And while I'm doing my part,

I shall pray to God for His protection.

Only He can help me in this situation.

I hope you're doing well, sayang.

I'm hoping to see my firstborn in late July,

inshaAllah.

I love you, my angels.

Lots of love,

your mama.
