Another Painful Jab And Hopefully The Last

Hubby was busy this morning, so Connie Koo Por (hub’s aunty) brought us to a nearby clinic early in the morning to have the last dose of antibiotics jab administered.  This time, I brought along Baby C’s favorite water-filled frozen teething ring and a rattle.

The sight of the HUGE syringe filled to the brim with liquid made me shudder. I really cringe at the sight of needles and syringes. I don’t know how I managed to survive 3 difficult pregnancies where I had to be given hormone jabs twice weekly at the start of my pregnancy until 12 weeks and 3 c-sections.

Anyway, Baby C wailed painfully when the dr. jabbed the needle into her muscles through her thigh unceremoniously. Then I think he took around 40 seconds or so to sloooooowly inject all the liquid into her thigh. That 40 seconds or so seemed like ages for me and Baby C. Even the frozen teething ring and rattle did not manage to distract her for the pain was just too much for her to bear. Well, I bet no one can bear the pain. Hopefully this jab will be the LAST ever antibiotics jab for Baby C.


I started feeding Baby C with 1 teaspoon of organic cranberry juice diluted with water and add 1 capsule of powdered probiotics into the juice 2 days ago. Hopefully these can prevent another bout of UTI attack.

  1. All prayers to baby C. Yes, it’s heart-wrenching to see the little one in so much pain. But the good thing is that baby C is still so wrong and won’t remember the pain nor the trauma. Best get it treated when she’s still below 1yrs old.
