27th Feb 2015

My 3rd pregnancy is not a smooth one. After the scary detailed scan 2 weeks ago, I experienced spotting at 23rd week. From brown discharge to light pink, it really scared me badly. Never have any spotting in my 1st and 2nd pregnancy, I am very scared of preterm labor. Google the Web on spotting in 2nd trimester  scared me even more. Though baby assure me that he is kicking well, to play save, we rushed to the hopsital at 10pm with 2 kids right after hubby friend gathering. I was put on observation for 1 hr to monitor baby heartbeat and movement, 2 darlings are well behaved and keep me accompanied. Didi is seduced by his dad to 7-11, jiejie resisted the temptation and stay with me. Lucky after an hr of observation, no spotting, no sign of contractions, with baby kicking well, I am able to go home.

Week 20 detailed scan

Last Friday 6th feb was a torture for me, the detailed scan result was not so ideal and I have been so worried. I simply cannot focus on anything and keep crying until the next scan which was on last wed 11th feb by the dept head. The 1st detailed scan result show 1 spot in the brain and 1 spot in the liver. The spot in the brain is called choroid plexus cyst which is getting common in pregnancy. Usually it will disappear by 3rd trimester. The rare case is that it will be down symdrone T18. It is quite harmless by itself. A harmony test can done to test for the cause. Echogenic nodule in fetal liver is the term that my Gynae told me. It is a white spot of 8mm big. The biggest worry is that it may be cause by infection and can spread to the brain causing liver and brain damage. The way to find out the cause is to take a blood test to test for cytomegalo virus and toxoplasma. I took the blood test immediately after the scan result at Gynae clinic. My mind was in a loss.
