Week 35 scare

I went in Thomson Medical Centre on my own last sat, 23th May midnight. I was having diarrhoea which trigger sharp pain on right side of my tummy. Hubby has to stay at home to look after the kids, I quickly changed and took a cab to TMC.
By the time I reached TMC, the pain was getting stronger. The midwife admitted me in and checked me. I was 2cm dilated and the contraction was getting stronger and frequent. Only week 35, of course I did not want baby to come out so early. I read and knew that Baby lung is not fully matured at week 35, so my gynae put me on drip to stop the contraction and injection to strengthen baby lung. From 12 am to 5am, slowly the contraction faded off and I was warded for 1 day observation. Cannot describe how I feel for that 5hours, I can only pray to tian gong and guan yin that everything will be fine for baby and me.
After 1 day stay in TMC, I was given 20 hospitalisation leave to rest at home. Bed rest, since I have already dilated 2cm. Hopefully baby stay well inside until week 37.
On a side note, I was arranging baby clothes and cot nicely last sat before I had the contraction. Maybe baby feel it and want to join us early. Haha.
I still want to feel his movement in me longer before his arrival.

Arrival of baby Nicholas

19 April 2021, we welcomed our new member :) he has came to us as a surprised gift. I got to know I was pregnant last Sep, at first it came to me as a shock rather than surprise. Firstly I did not thought that getting conceive is easy, for all previous pregnancy, I have tried ways and means to get pregnant, and now I did not even try and I strike jackpot! Of course, baby equal joy!!! We broken the news to our kids and Charis even cried when she heard it. My pregnancy journey is not a smooth one, at 40 year old, I feel my body is not prepared and weak for this pregnancy. I have bleeding for the whole T2 and pelvic pain for T3. Basically i need more and more bedrest and because I get to work from home due to covid 19, I did not have to travel to work or request any medical leave. 16 April 2021, I am at week 37 plus 4days, during the gynae check, I was already 2cm dilated, I am excited. My inital plan is to induce on 19 April as I am worried that the fliud level will drop after week 38...

Charis is better now No more fever after 1 week No more runny nose No more coughing I was so worried when she was still having fever (37.4 ~ 37.8 degrees) on monday... Pd say it may be due to the flu that is why she is still having fever on & off felt so painful when they use a machine to suck out her mucus Charis was struggling bad! I believe she HATES doctor now She has phlegm in her lung I was so scared that it will turn be to bronchiolitis Hengz... I made a call to Ah kor, she gave me a method 1) Feed her with barley 2) No shower because she caught a flu 3) Use Ru Yi Oil plus a few drop of martell and massage on her tummy And it WORKS on her! Really 佩服 ah kor! 谢天谢地！！ ！ She can sleep well again! (include us too)
