I was at my TCM doc for my weekly appointment. She says pulse is considered ok, not strong though. Possibly on the weaker side, but it was steady. She then explained that the baby is like the little tortoise - definitely not at the top of the race, but surely slow and steady. I guess, that is good right since the little tortoise did win the race.
I took a cab home right after. Although the cab looked relatively new, the ride felt very bouncy. And the route taken passed by some areas where they are building the new Downline Line and it was bumpy. The moment I got out of the cab, I felt a warm gush below. Another gush came even before I reached my house.
There it was, another burst of strawberry juice that flooded the liner and everything. Wiped it a few times and it refused to stop. Decided to call for a cab and head down to clinic. The doc did a vagina scan and confirmed that all was ok. She couldn't give me another jab cos I had one last Friday. She sent me home and if bleeding persists, I could come back for a jab on Friday *fingers crossed*
First trimester is definitely scary for me. Not having gone through it before made it a lot worrying and unsure. I don't know what is considered mild and what is considered serious. One thing for sure... I still dread the cramps (which seems to be quite frequent) and I definitely hate going to the toilet.
I have been praying hard. Nothing matters more than the beanie. It has been a difficult and worrying first trimester and I hope that beanie will continue to grow strong. Hope for better and happier days ahead!
some of the girls bleed throughout their first tri but still deliver a healthy baby. I know how scary it is but stay strong ok. Is good you are not working and can rest at home.
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel. I was super worried when I got admitted a few weeks ago. Jiayou and keep praying to God.
ReplyDeleteThanks girls! Cannot imagine that we still have to be scared of going to the toilet. Hahaha!
