Monday was a really busy day at work. I finished some work on instrument hook-up drawings, which was delayed due to my 3-day absence last week. In the afternoon, I had to wrap-up my work on Project 2 because my boss from Project 1 wanted to talk to me at 3pm. It was break time. I didn’t respond immediately… I was supposed to get a cracker or some solid food but ended up taking a cereal drink instead. I called him after break, got some instructions, then another boss called, and I called the first boss again and then the second boss.. it was a phone-fest with the bosses at JP and SG. Then I got a very terrible headache that kept my heart pounding like it’s shaking my entire body. Hello, stress.
When I got home, I was still having that bad headache. I found out I was spotting and it felt scary. It was my first time to experience that during my entire pregnancy. That moment, I decided to take a day off from work and visit my doctor, Dr. M.
A visit to Dr. M. She got some samples to be checked on the lab. She also found a polyp which she removed and we submitted it to the lab for biopsy. It could have caused the bleeding but she said we may need an ultrasound to check if something inside my tummy has caused me to bleed. We’ll also check baby’s vital signs. That’s a good idea! I wanted to see how baby’s doing now.
Through the sonogram scan, my doctor found out I was having a low-lying placenta. But it has a big chance of moving upwards in the next few weeks/months. I just hope so. I wouldn’t want my placenta blocking my baby’s way out. Nooo way. Dr, M told me this could also one of the reasons why I’m spotting. So she advised me to take a bed rest for 7 days. I like the idea. :)
Despite the placenta’s placement, my baby’s in perfect condition. Good fetal heart rate of 162 bpm. At 88 grams, baby’s just the right size for his/her age. Vitals are good. I’m reassured. :) I saw my baby moving, swimming, waving, and kicking and it fills my heart with so much joy and amazement! I Love You Baby. <3
