Scare

30 June 2008 (Monday)

9weeks 5days
Feeling ~ scared & worried

weekend have been an emotion roller coaster for mummy. The only times we went out are solely for meals while the rest of the time are mainly spent lying on the bed to rest. On saturday, feel very uncomfortable and nauseous after the coffee session with Aunty Tracie and Uncle Eugene most probably due to the milk in the milo we had. Mummy have noticed only recently that milk seem to trigger the nauseousness.

Sunday we were home the whole day and mummy had to nap in the late noon for almost like 2 hrs before our dinner. Again most of the time are spent in bed and mummy got a real bad scare at about 10pm+ when mummy is preparing to take my bath. After peeing, mummy noticed brown spotting in substantial quantity!!! Mummy panicked and told daddy about it and decided to give a call to Dr Adrain despite the late hours. Dr Adrain advised to take 3 tabs of Duphaston immediately and continue to 2 tabs the next morning before seeing him. Mummy rushed to take the medication and was closed to tears and disoriented for a moment. Daddy talked to Baby to be a good Baby and not to scare mummy! Mummy constantly talked to Baby and pray that Baby will be fine.

Mummy didn't manage to sleep well throughout the night and woke up the next morning at about 8am and immediately went to take another 2 tabs of Duphaston, still spotting slightly. All this while mummy keep on praying for Baby's well being and let Baby know that mummy and daddy have strong faith in Baby that Baby will be fine and strong & healthy! Daddy is trying his best to distract mummy and steer mummy's worries and negative thoughts away.

The wait in Dr Adrain's clinic appears to be endless even though it's like 15mins or so. Again was greeted by Dr Adrain's infamous "How are you doing?". Told Dr Adrain that I was the one who called him yestersday night and he ordered a scan immediately again. Mummy was totally relieved when a few moments after the ultrasound probe landed on mummy's tummy and he started calling out for daddy. At this instance, mummy knows that Baby is fine. Dr Adrain showed both mummy and daddy Baby's head, body, little hand and little leg.

Daddy asked Dr Adrain about mmummy's seminar while Dr Adrain still advised to rest at home and issued mummy 5 days of medical leave. Mummy checked with him about the onset of spotting which he said is uncertain and not quite possible to identify the cause of it.Daddy asked about the injection and if it does help. Dr Adrain replied that sometimes it does help and mummy asked about the side effect which is none except for being painful thus advised mummy that it's entirely up to me. Dr Adrain asked if I took it previously which I didn't so mummy decide to go for it for a peace of mind. The jab was given on mummy's right thigh and it wasn't realli painful though mummy felt a little warming sensation after the prick. Dr Adrain did a great job by talking to mummy thus working as a form of distraction. Mummy asked about German Measles which he assured that most sporean girls would have taken the immunisation back then and it's very rare thus no major concern. In any case even thought not immunised, can't do much now so no worries about it.

Dr Adrain asked mummy to book for the test to be conducted and explained the various tests available namely NT, Oscar. Triple test is out as the accuracy is only 70%. NT comes with about 80% accuracy performed without the blood test while Oscar is about 90% accuracy with blood test. The price difference is rather drastic with NT at $98 and Oscar at $298. Mummy decide to go for Oscar and try to book on a sat even though he warned that it will be crowded on sat. We fixed it on 19 July 08 (sat) and his nurse will call and advised the confirmation of date. Before mummy leave his room, he added remember no shopping and mummy replied him no energy for shopping too which left him laughing.

As July is pretty packed for TMC, the only slot that is availale is 18 July 08 at 8.30am. As the nurse advised that it's not quite possible to do it at a later date thus leaving with no option but to accept it. The other FA test which is to be performed at 20 weeks can be fixed after the Oscar so the option for dates will be much flexible since it's going to be a good 8 weeks later. Was surprised that the jab cost about $40 which is very reasonable.

Baby had grown to be 3.09cm, can you see Baby's head, little hand and little leg.
