i was in my 6th week of pregnancy when one fine day during a working day, i had an abdomen cramp! it started after i had my lunch and boy! how it scared me out of my wits when the pain didn't subside after that. i went to the loo numerous time to check for the fearful red sign - blood, but thankfully there wasn't any. however, just before i left the office and went to the loo for the last time, to my horror, there was some red discharge! although it was some slight bleeding only, i was quite worried as that was the second time i had bleeding already. i was battling whether or not to head straight to the hospital while driving home. my watch was showing 5 something, i supposed if i headed straight to the hospital, i could still catch my gynae in time. and so i did.
my gynae did a vagina ultrasound and saw an amazing heartbeat. my last trip was just a week ago and i wasn't supposed to see him until next week. last week's scan showed only one featus with no heartbeat yet. within a week, the heartbeat shows!!! how amazing!!!
anyway, my gynae said it's quite alarming to have bleeding at this stage as i might be facing the possibility of miscarriage since the featus is not that stable yet. he suggested that i admit myself to the hospital for monitoring purposes. not again! i didn't want to admit and asked him for another alternative, like taking whatever pills that could stop the pain & the bleeding or even asked for a jab from him! he said the risk if with me if i refused to admit. such words sent shivers down my spine. in the end, i agreed but asked to be allowed home to pack.
and so i got admitted to the hospital for the second time. gosh! i'm so sick of frequenting the hospital already.
