Rest for a week
Was it me being overly worried? Stressed?
Whatever it was, I woke up this morning to go to work and found some mild spotting…not really blood, more like a very light brown discharge. My first thought was of the worst possible thing that could’ve happened…I can’t even bring myself to say it…but my heart was pounding and all I kept repeating in my head was “please, god, no“.
Hubby brought me back to the gynae at 9am, and she did another ultrasound. Baby has grown to 12mm, which the gynae said is reassuring, but she doesn’t like spotting so early in the pregnancy and prescribed me Duphaston, a synthetic progesteron that is used to sustain the hormone levels during early pregnancy, particularly in these sort of cases. She also gave me a week’s MC to rest…part of me felt happy coz I’ve been really really tired in the past 2 weeks, but I was also feeling stressed out about work that would pile up, what would my boss think, etc.
Naturally, I was also worried about taking any form of medication so early in the pregnancy, so I spent the morning Googling away…overall consensus says that it should be ok, so I felt a little better.
No spotting till early this evening before dinner where there was the same light brown discharge.
Am trying not to stress myself out. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed, and praying really really hard that this is nothing serious.
Baby, please stay strong and grow big and healthy in mummy’s tummy, ok? We love you so much, please take care!
