a worrying visit to dr. Choo's clinic

and so on 26/8 night I went toilet as usual and suddenly when I wipe myself I was shocked to see blood smeared onto the toilet paper. my first thought was "oh shit! oh NO!" 

then I threw the paper into the toilet bowl and immediately grab another piece and repeat the wipe hoping to see it clean but it was still brownish. 

I came out of the toilet with a heavy heart. walked almost v slowly outta the kitchen n signaled to hubby to follow me to the room so that my mil will not hear it.

after telling hubby, his reaction was "I'm sure it's gonna be ok. don't worry!" and he started google-ing and continue to assure me that many ppl get this spotting during pregnancy and it's so common. he continue to assure but I just couldn't stop thinking abt the worst case scenario. 

I lay down on bed and try to sleep but couldn't and started tearing.. hubby continue to assure me to no avail. and subsequent visit to toilet was also wiped with brownish discharge. 

after all I managed to sleep n woke up on 27/8 and went for my morning pee n wash up. this time the wipe was clean, I felt relieved n went to work as usual to avoid questioning from in laws. 

but when in sch, after 2 periods of invigilation, (it's prelims n CA2) I went toilet n sigh the spotting came back again.

I know I need to go to my gynae to get assurance b4 I can get my mind n heart back to normal. 

called hubby and got clearance from bosses and off I went to Dr. Choo's clinic.

it's only then when I saw my darling baby again and hearing the strong heartbeat b4 I can listen to any explanation from my gynae. 

Dr. Choo says my placenta from the ultra sound scan seem to look slightly low lying. but they shouldn't be a prob once baby grow bigger n push the uterus up n wider. (I really hope so)

dr choo did a vaginal check and mention that there's no infection and probably te discharge could be some blood clots from previous periods or a minor placenta abruption due to excessive walking. 

I am thus given 4 days MC to rest at home and shd minimize walking. given some tablets to stabilise my pregnancy too. 

felt really relieved when I leave the room with dr. Choo's assurance and after seeing my active baby is all well. 

and also today Dr. Choo managed to see baby's gender as baby is in good position. so Dr saw baby's genitals and confirmed baby's a BOY. 

well boy boy means no more pressure from in laws. but I have always wanted a daughter. so next one maybe?

anyway, baby boy u must stay strong n healthy k... 

as always daddy n mummy love u! 

4th visit to dr Choo's clinic

been a good 2 weeks since the last visit and I am super excited for this visit as we are doing a detailed scan for darling baby and we will also get to know what's the risk of darling baby getting Down's syndrome. 

dr Choo started by analysing my blood tests results and it shows everything were doing good and then we proceed with ultrasound scan. 

darling baby is super active, but is sitting vertically upright and we can't see the gender yet. darling baby is also much bigger than previous! and is trying to suck the thumb after waving to us! so so amazing! 

and after all the scans, Dr choo cfm that darling baby is growing v well and has very low risk of getting Down's syndrome ! phew!!!! relieved and super happy and looking forward to seeing darling again!

till the nxt visit!

anyway, it's been nauseous as always but everything is worth it! ;))
