4am - I woke up for toilet break, and found that my tummy was feeling very, very bloated. Lots of gas and nausea. Ended up throwing up all the contents of dinner. After that, I felt better and went back to bed.
The next day, when I got up and looked in the mirror, I was horrified to see red spots covering my whole face, even under my eyebrows... I quickly checked for spots on my body and was slightly relieved to find none.
Worried about the red spots getting worse, I went to see my faithful dermatologist, as usual the wait was extremely long ~5hours :( Finally I got to see the doctor and after examining me, she was about to send me for a blood test for suspected dengue! Then I told her about the stomach problem I had and the bout of vommiting the night before and understanding dawned on her... she said the vommiting must have caused the blood vessels on my face to break, hence the red spots. I was surprised, as I vommited constantly in my 1st trimester and this is the first time I had blood vessels on my face breaking! :S Perhaps I threw up more 'violently' this time?? Anyway, the red spots faded after a couple of days... thank God :)
