Bleeding in Disguise

This is but a sad story to tell.

Last Monday (February 25, 2013), at around nine (9) o'clock in the morning, after doing my usual ritual that is to vomit and to vomit after I arrive in the office, I experienced the scariest moment in my life. I was bleeding continuously that I was rushed to the hospital. I was accompanied by our company nurse.

While on our way with our company car, I can't help but think what's going on with me. Is this for real? God forbid, am I suffering the so called threatened? Please Dear God, not with my little boy...

As we arrived in the hospital, something passed out underneath my undie. Oh, dear God, what is this? I was positioned by the attending nurses immediately in the bed ready for checking. The attending OB examined that something passed out placed in the napkin. According to her, it was like a blood clot. I just hope that it's only a blood clot. I was checked everything including IE and TVS (TransVaginal Scan).

I was really praying hard that everything is okay and fine. At last the result of the TVS has arrived and we immediately went to my OB's clinic. I was now accompanied by Taweng, Mama and Papa.

According to Doc Darlene, I am 10 weeks pregnant, meaning I was pregnant since December. I was wrong in my calculation of the number of weeks I'm pregnant. The placenta is wounded and the first symptoms that something was wrong with my placenta was the last January 10, 2013 which I considered as the normal menstruation and the basis of my counting 6 weeks pregnant. I was shocked. I had so may heavy and extraordinary activities that time prior to January 10. I drunk, I played badminton, I slept late and many to mention that should have not been done by a pregnant woman. I should have started resting and taking meds if during that time it was already detected. But it was not the case. Instead, the bleeding that happened last Monday was the second sign that the wound of my placenta has enlarge and should need to be treated immediately. 

Thank God that my little is safe and I'm now also taking my two (2) weeks bed rest as advised by my OB. I'm on my fourth day bed rest and I have a lot of realizations in my mind. First, I should have taken extra care. I should be on my toes always to check whether I'm pregnant or not to keep my little angel safe and away from harm.

Thank you so much Lord. Thank you Mama and Papa. Thank you Taweng and thank you nurse Michelle. ;-)
