One day after returning from work, I discovered I had brown discharge down there, which looked like blood. I started to panic and I told hubby about it. So many thoughts were going through my mind:
"I need to get to the hospital quickly!"
"Will baby be ok?"
"What if we lose baby??"
"I'm so scared!"
Besides the bleeding, I did not experience any pain or discomfort. Hubby came back and brought me to the nearby KTPH.
I was made to lie down and rest for awhile. It was so dramatic, I was transferred to KKH in an ambulance. Turned out I should have gone directly to KKH instead as KTPH don't have an ob/gyn or the facilities to check me.
When I reached KKH I had to wait to be seen by the doctor. From 7pm when I first discovered to the time I eventually saw the doctor, it was already about 11.30pm. Imagine the anxiety for almost 5 hours, not knowing if baby was ok. I cried at one point, asking hubby what if we lost baby.
The gynae at the 24-hour clinic put me at ease. She assured me it was very common and since the blood was not bright red, it could have meant that it was just old blood clearing from the system. After which, she proceeded to do a scan.
My cheeky little baby was moving so much! From the previous time at 6 weeks I saw him as a little wormie, I could now see his limbs and head clearly! His hands were moving frantically! (except I could not feel him yet as he was still so tiny, deep in my womb)
My anxiety dissipated and I was overjoyed. I told myself that God knew I can't wait to see baby so He set this up so I can see him before my next appointment . It was a blessing in disguise!
