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 already?! heheh.
Asia's Next Top Model saved me from boredom during the two week hiatus :)
May is always a month to remember..every May 20 is an emotional day for me as i lost my 1st baby on that day..
my heavenly angel has been in heaven for four years already...
And my earthly angel is 30 weeks! <3
May 30..I saw the lil bub again and heard his heart beating at 133 beats per minute. He is now in a cephalic position. But what scared me in the ultrasound was that it was stated that I had premature placental aging. Oh no! another problem?! huhuh. I googled premature aging and I learned that this should happen only when you are in your 36th week of pregnancy. The placenta should not age early as this is where the baby gets his nutrition and oxygen. huhuh. This had me worried..a lot!
I had my next prenatal check up the next day. Good thing, I was out of bed rest again!! yeah!!! And another good thing out of that check up was that I was finally out of Prednisone (and hopefully my acne would be gone!) But the doc scheduled me for a doppler velocimetry as the last one showed that the lil bub has become smaller and maybe it was because he was not getting enough from my aging placenta.
