yes, after 7 years I am pregnant again, the second time. Guess, 7 is just our lucky number…lolz. Some friends do find time to email me every now and then just to check on me and I am really touched by their mails. Even though, we’ve only known each other online (digital world kuno!). truly, I miss the people here. That is why, I am here again mg samok-samok napud ko…lolz. This is my story…
The pregnancy… when I missed my period last September, it was my husbands idea to have a pregnancy test at home, he was even the one who bought the pregnancy kit at the pharmacy and according to him all the saleslady were looking at him and laughing....lolz. And then there was it, after a few minutes the kit says + and he was jumping with joy, he was even shouting, hugging and kissing me all over. The sweetest moment that I have to cherish forever. But that happiness soon became sadness for all of us for he has to leave again for work the next day. My husband is an OFW in Saudi Arabia, working his butts off to make sure all the ATM in the kingdom is in perfect working condition. that’s what he does. He is one of the thousands of Engineer working in the Middle East trying to give his family the best of everything. Enduring the heat, the sand and most of all the homesickness. If only, Philippines had better economy like the rest of the world then we wouldn’t want to live apart from each other. Coz it’s really hard and painful.
My first visit to the doctor was really, really heartbreaking. I was on my 8th week then that the doctor advised me to have TVS ultrasound just to make sure if the baby is okay since I had some spotting earlier. The sonologist (also an OB/GYN doctor) found out that I had SUBCHRONIC HEMORRHAGE which means there’s an internal bleeding around my uterus and there’s a 50-50 chance of miscarriage if the bleeding won’t stop. So I had to take a lot of medicines for it and my Ob advised me to have a complete bed rest for the first trimester of my pregnancy. ‘Twas the hardest days of my life. Waking up in early in the morning, taking various meds, hoping and praying that the baby inside me would survive. Explaining everyday to my son that her yaya will be the one to assist his needs for the meantime coz I had to lie on the bed the entire day for the baby’ sake. And thank God, he understands everything that’s happening and he adjusted well. Now, im on my 16th week of pregnancy and yesterday I visited my Ob again, there’s been positive development and she said that my baby would survive 90% since the spotting had stop and she can already detect my baby’s heartbeat via Doppler. And it’s really a good sign. Right now, im still on a complete bed rest and meds. I will be online here in TB every now and then but not like before nga akong dagway naa ra sa TB…lolz. Coz resting is still my main priority and gaining weight…hahaha! Besides 1 or 2hours being online is already very stressful for me right now…hehehe!
p.s.
