so we had a scare last week. i had bleeding and it was NOT spotting. i could feel blood leak out everytime i stood and walked. the funny thing was that i was home the whole of last week because i was just so tired. i was sleeping and resting up and basically just lazing whole days away.
well, i had the presence of mind to first call my doc to let her know that i was bleeding bright red blood and to ask what to do, then i called b to come back immediately to get me to the hospital, then i called my mum. funny huh? the fact that i'm 30 years old and on the verge of becoming a mother, i still turn to my mum when i am absolutely terrified. i guess my two previous miscarriages sprang to mind. i started crying my eyes out to my mum simply because i was so scared that something would happen to my baby so much so that she couldn't understand me. so i had to control myself and explain to her (in between sobs) and she did what i knew she would do - she calmed me down and she started praying. i must admit that that was what i needed and that was the reason i called her. i wasn't sane enough to get the words out to pray so i needed her to do it for me.
then b reached home and we just rushed all the way to the hospital. then i got admitted and my doc came to check on me and baby is fine and healthy.
i basically felt a huge weight leave me the moment i stepped into the hospital. bear in mind i was still shaking on the car ride to the hospital. i sms-ed a few people to ask them to pray for me. i basically wanted to get a prayer chain going. and praise God, everything turned out fine.
my doc couldn't find the cause of my bleeding, which sometimes happen and it is referred to as indeterminate bleeding. she scanned me and did an internal check and everything looked fine. my placenta's in a good place and not prematurely detaching and my cervix was not dilated.
anyhow, i stayed two nights just to be safe. and the cost? RM2000!!!! this is a really expensive baby! but then i'd spend any amount of money to keep him safe.
