This past one week has been over the moon and awfully devastating. On Monday 7 days ago.. I did a pregnancy test kit and found out that I am going to be a mother. Too soon than I expected, Wes and I cried with tears of joy. We were unable to book into any hospitals unless we have a referral from our GP. So we went to our clinic doctor yesterday to reconfirm the status. Doctor said that I am now 6weeks pregnant. I told the doctor that I have been having mild spot bleeding over the weekend. He replied,”This is very common for the first 12weeks. The embryo is trying to cling onto the womb so scrapes of blood is not unusual on this moment. Your body is also trying to adjust itself for the growth of the embryo so there’s nothing to worry. If you see signs of chunky blood clots or heavy blood flows this will usually lead to a miscarriage. There is no point doing a scan now cause it’s too early. You need to wait till you are 8weeks”. That was a sign of relief and we thought the nightmare was over.
By the time I got home last evening at 5, something didn’t seem quite right. The blood flow was no longer faint or fresh blood when I wipe. I decided to wear a sanitary pad to monitor. The blood flow was pretty much the same as my first day of period. There were stringy tiny clots and the toilet bowl turned into a pool of blood. This carried on the whole night when I went to pee twice in the middle of the night. I was too exhausted to think of anything and went straight back to sleep. By the time it was 10 in the morning, I went to pee again.. this time a size of a 50cent chunk of blood clot dropped. From that moment, I can only prepare myself for the worse to happen. Bleeding hasn’t stopped yet and what I don’t understand is why the hospitals here don’t allow us to go for an ultrascan. I honestly don’t think I’m normal anymore. Something is not doing fine inside me. I need to consult a bloody doctor!!
