A scare
11:17 AM
Gave everyone a scare when I had to head down to TMC today.
Last night before bedtime, my vision became a little blurry & I started having a flash spot( as if someone took your picture with a flash) on both my eyes. Panic a little when the spot became bigger but didn't want to alarm anyone since it was already 12mn. And for the whole night I keep having pains at the lower right abdomen which I'm not sure why. End up I keep going to the bathroom to help with the pain.
So today I had a nagging feeling that I should call my gynae to check (just in case), and he was suspecting I am having preeclamsia. Long story short, he wanted me go down TMC asap to check out the fetal heart rate plus my blood pressure. I tried to ask for a Monday check up as I do not have a history of high blood pressure but he said things to scare me into going in. -.-
SOS my sis to pick velle from her enrichment class and quickly cab down to TMC. The first nurse quickly brushed me away and I actually waited 1 whole hour near the lift when i should be in the observation ward! But end of the day, it was just a false alarm. I do have a few painless contraction but it is normal considering I'm 37 weeks now. Fetal heart rate is ranging from 145 to 155. My blood pressure is also normal. Phewww.
My mom was with me all along, and I was thinking if I had to deliver today it wouldn't be tt bad. At least I'm not alone lol. I am thankful for my family. And I'm glad it is just a false alarm this time. Thank God!
