A bit too early to see you

So I had a doppler velocimetry on JUne 7, 2017. A Doppler velocimetry is a way to make sure that the baby is getting a healthy supply of blood. The ultrasound thankfully showed that the circulation of blood was a-ok! Lately I had been feeling more frequent tummy tightening. I could feel it harden real hard..rock hard.. and the vajayjay feels like something is pushing against it and I feel like peeing everytime the it happens :( The visit to the OB confirmed that what I was feeling were contractions and that baby is already ready to come out as the doc could already feel the head has descended. I was still 32 weeks  pregnant! So not yet the time for him to see his beautiful mom.  My doc got worried that I might pop way before baby is full term, prescribed me ixolilan for the contractions and prescribed me to be injected with Betamethasone (Diprospan) to hasten the lil dude's lung maturity in case he might be born premature. the doc put me on bed re...

bed rest again!

I've been very excited about my upcoming baby showers. But unfortunately, I could not attend any of them. I have been having contractions, strong ones, and I can feel like bub's head is pushing down may vajayjay. Putting on panties and standing up have become painful down there. So when I had my prenatal check-up last May 16, the doctor confirmed that baby boy has started to descend and contractions were not just practice contractions. :( So she put me on bed rest again for 2 weeks. I was to have another ultrasound after the bed rest to check for my cervical length. I was still 29 weeks pregnant and I got scared! I can't give birth yet! huhuh. So I heeded the advise and cancelled the baby showers and apologized to the big bosses in the firm that I have to be MIA again. I think the contractions were brought about by the stress of attending hearings. hehe. I was not supposed to attend them yet but how can one refuse the bosses when you had been absent for more than 3 months...
