Placenta Previa Saga Ended

Had my 3rd scan last Monday. Earlier I was diagnose for placenta previa type 1) at my 28th week.

So, am happy to report now that at 32nd week, my placenta had shifted up and no longer obstructing the baby's path out, alhamdulillah.

Even when the nurse try to locate my fibroid, its gone! Dunno if it shifted elsewhere or perhaps my hormone is a bit better now making it shrink in size again.

Double dose of good news right!! ;D

Borang Indemnity Wanita Mengandung

OK.. so two days flight in and out to KL via Firefly dah dilaksanakan.. sooo.. camno travelling naik kapalterbang bagi ladies 31 weeks pregnant.. thruthfully rasa cam didiskriminasi jek.. macam kita sorok2 plak ngandung naik flight.. agak cz firefly ni swasta, takmo la ada expense tambahan if terberanak dalam flight tu kut.. Hurmm.. dunno la.. though they would be supportive, ada la yg ok.. ada jugak yg macam terjah semacam jek... anyway.. so verdictnya if lebih 30 weeks esp perut dah nampak, better la bawak sekali surat doktor tu, buat copy la.. ori simpan.. pastu masa mendaftar masuk tu, bagitau pregnant cz kengkadang orang jaga kaunter tu pekak sket cam masa aku bgtau cik adik sorang nih, macam kurang dengar plak.. baik plak adik lelaki sorang yg aku pergi drop baggage.. sopan jek dia tanya.. bagus arr adik tu, keep it up..

Hurmm.. tu la.. malas lagi nak flight unless terpaksa.. also bcz Subang tu terhad sket tempat lepak dia tu.. patut ada another meeting lagi but I hope nak pass the baton to my asst la plak.. tak larat laa... Tapi tu la.. tup tup dah 31 weeks preggies, 9 weeks to go.. tu pejam celik pejam cilik kejap jek tuh.. 9 more weeks, pasni also aku kena monitor lebih sket.. aku nih lasak sket, also program banyak sangat.. terpaksa la jadinya kena g jugak.. tu pun banyak gak asst pikul tugas travellin'.. hishh susah bebenor.. kalau ikut KPI memang kami dah takyah wat apa dah .. hurmmm...

Surat Pelepasan Penerbangan untuk Wanita Mengandung

Sebab aku mencari memang tak ada, thought would share dgn sapa2 yg mencari.. Gitu la ghupenye surat tu, g kat doktor klinik mana2, bgtau kena fly.. In my case, terpaksa la pergi mesyuarat kat KL.. Huhuhuhu x berhati perut langsung, dh la preggies 7 bulan plus nih, posa ke 2 lagi.. Nak wat camano :(

Simple kan surat dia, but aku depending on baju.. Sekejap lepas, sekejap idak.. Kalau xde surat, slalu airlines bagi suruh sign imdemnity.. Tu yg aku standby siap2 tu.. Cam ari ni, lelaki kut jaga kaunter, x tgk plak perut aku..

On the other hand, note to self, kalau park kat lapangan terbang KT.. Cam aku buat ni cz hari ni pergi, esok balik.. RM12 per day.. So RM24 la.. Better ma dari aku nih ambik teksi yg banyak cekadak.. To my place dah RM80.. Ishkkk.. Double dah RM160.. Lagi berbaloi drive sendiri n park.. Our own time tak tergesa2..

Dunno la, excited kut gap lama antara Kimi n Haikal kut (ops thinking gap Haikal Kimi 4 years.. Haikal baby 3 years jek) hahahahaha.. Besides time Haikal hutang kurang.. Sedap la berbelanja ahaks :P

Kali nih nak tunggu double scan dulu before beli barang tambahan sket2.. Maybe a few baju pink (ya allah kurniakan la aku baby girl pulak).. Then barang mandian baby.. Pad maternity.. Breast pad.. Pump dulu ada, kena cari balik...

Hurmm.. Hehe.. Lepak sket la this time round.. Agak dh ade experiance sket kut.. Haikal more hands on than Kimi.. Ni lagila 3 months maternity leave nih..
Ingat nak try breastfeed fully pasni.. Sebelum ni kurang experiance.. Hope pasni, bf akan jadi lebih senang dan tetap..

30 Weeks cum Placenta Previa cum Fibroid

Hurmm.. It is time for my 2nd follow up at the GH.. This time is just for me to go directly to the ultrasound room as if there's anything, the doctor would have a check as well.

The ultrasound nurse at HSNZ is a very nice nurse actually.. Smiling, soft spoken.. I believe she enjoys he job even tho she must've seen thousands of baby images by now. Very through..

So, what's my update? Yep.. My placenta is low. It is classified as Placenta Previa Type 2.. Quite near the vaginal entry.. Ops, I had fibroid (never had it before).. 3cm but they say not too worry.. Perhaps as my hormone is getting haywire. But googling it, seems like fibroid less than 5 cm in diameter would be more likely to remain stable or decrease in size. Hurmm.. It that regard, I have high regards to the nurse keen eye. All I can see are blobs haha..

Well, haven't got time to have a look at the baby gender today - all with the somber look of the doctor and nurse hehe..

Seems like I really need to wash the baby cloths, do the packing etc.. Was a bit concern when the doctor voice out that I might be needing bed rest at the hospital if the pp thing does not improve. So, I am again will take thing easy (no more Plants vs Zombie game till after midnite hehe).. My next ultrasound is on 30th July. That would be fasting month. I hope I wouldn't be expected to be warded until after Eid. Then, I shouldn't push myself too much as well after this.

Hurmm.. Then I gotta start filling in my annual leave form.

Puting Leper - bolehke menyusu?

Hmmm... Syiok plak post in BM.. Lebih santai actually..

Sebenarnya aku nak try breastfeed, tapi mmg tak confiden.. 2 of my boys dapat rasa sket2 jek susu ibu tu.. Susu lembu banyak la.. Hurmm cz aku pun dulu susu lembu Dumex gak soo.. Paham2 la..

Ni baby 3 ni nk cuba lagi breastfeed esp 3 bulan maternity this time round kan.. So in prep, aku cuba baca2 lebih buku breastfeed and also cuba perbaiki one of my nipple yg leper la..

Mmg la kalau doktor diorang kata no prob boleh menyusu walopun puting leper.. Tapi tu la, puting leper ni boleh dibaiki rupanya.. Aku google2 puting leper nih.. Terus ke www.babynme.com.my/blog.. Ade ghupenye kat Msia.. Aku baca review2 omputih pun kata flat nipple nih actually treatable.. Cam aku if nak menyusu.. Susu sebelah dulu yg normal dgn sebelah pakai that supple cup, pastu transfer baby breast satu lagi tu..

Nurse desa pun kata kena ajar nipple flat tu before sambut baby.. So aku beli la.. Campur postage n handling semua jadi dalam RM101.23 sepasang.. Hurmm ok la tgk dalam amazon dalam usd22 gaks.. Convert2 campur postage rasa sama jek rega dia..

Anyway.. Waiting for the thing to arrive la before trying it out plaks.. Hurmm...

My Tummy @ 29 Weeks

Hurmm.. 29 weeks tu kira 29/4 - 1 = 6 weeks plus.. Ok la perut besar camtu.. Kalau aku kempiskan perut, boleh menyamar lagi tuh kuikuikuii..

Anyway.. Letih as usual.. Selera ok tak melebih2.. Berat 86kg dowh.. Huhuhuhu.. 20kg dari berat ideal but aku start dulu pun dalam 80-82kg.. So naik 6 kg @ 6 months is nothing la.. But kena maintain, nurse jeling semcm jek bila aku berat tak naik or less than sepatutnya..

So ade 3 weeks lagi nih nak jenguk2 la set bersalin what to buy..
1) Kimi adku beli Novelle Visages punya.. Ok jek but x abis..
2) Lisa Formula for Haikal.. Ok gak, semua ubat abih..

Yg 3rd nih aku cari yg lawas cz time Haikal mmg terkena sembelit. Dunno la if its jamu or aku tak cukup minum air or dok asyik bantai jek minum milo 3-in-1.. Tapi tu la, melawaskan is my main criteria this time..

So, browse2 tgk cam Nona Raguy ok, happy aku tgk testomoni lawas tu.. Also hope le berat aku turun balik below 80.. 78 pun okla..

Aku hoping nk try breastfeed exclusively this time. Dulu tak reti maa.. First untuk baby, pastu kesihatan badan sendiri and 3rd.. Kuruskan badan..

Cuba jek la kan.. Mana tau.. Pas bersalin aku nak aim turun 70kg balik.. At least cz tu jek achievable 10kg in a year.. Kena jaga maa.. I am not young anymore.

Pe lagi.. Esok nk g KB.. Kena bwk docs berkaitan,.. Also mlm ni kena start basuh baju baby.. 3 months ni dh kena start letaak barang2 dah in bags esp takut emergency kan..

Hurmm.. Alamak baru perasan bila nak abis.. Blog in BI, nih aku karang BM ni watpe.. Hahahaha ;P

Placenta Previa Part 3

Still taking things easy, I try to put my feet up most of the times.. But mommies will know housework doesn't stop.

Anyway, am still hoping for my low placenta to move up. Try to do most of the works sitting down.. Laundries and such. Was worried when yesterday I felt so tired and need to take a nap. Am indulging my body's need now. I am 37 yo already, obese and sedentary soo.. You know what it meant.

Took glucose test as well as my usual TFT.. Hope everything is clear for my next ultrasound on 16.7.2012. Hope my placenta have some good news for me too by then hehe..

I am not really keen for a vaginal birth (still remember it hurts and the care afterwards) but even less keen for a ceaser, besides one of why placenta previa occurs is scars due to operations such as ceaserean or even D&C.

Hurmmm... I got another meeting next week, but thinking to ask my asst to go this time. Will do the seminars first I think.

Hurmm.. Ok, gotta sort some more laundries. Bye for now.

Pregnancy After 40

Another thread I like discussing pregnancy after 40. As I am currently 37, it is interesting to see opinions on late pregnancy.

It is in BM.. http://mforum2.cari.com.my/archiver/?tid-531730-page-2.html

Placenta Previa Part II

As you must have guessed, this thing weighted heavily on my mind. Been go googling about it whole day yesterday.. And something positive is that you are able to do something about it which I aim to practise the tips...

1) Sits while bathing - this one I got from a lady outside the ultrasound room.. A village lady with 10 child.m 8 boys and 2 girls she seems full of traditional wisdoms..
2) Gonna start praying sitting style.. This is more to Muslims.. I started late this time.. Dunno why but I think baby is of lighter built than the brothers (think she will follow more of hubby's gen .. His family is of lighter frame.. Smaller and thinner)..
3) Talked to baby.. Try to ask her to bring the placenta up.. Yeah, old wife tales but why not..
4) Pray

... Then scientifically..
1) Get enough rests.. Do not lift heavy things.. Get your feet up..
2) If possible bed rests from diagnose to delivery.. Just follow what your practitioner asked you to..
3) No or very light sex.. Touch n Go I supposed, no marathon session ;P

Anyway.. I don't know what is my stage yet.. There are four stages being 1 very partial and 4.. Complete covering of uterus bottom part.. 1-2 seems there are chances for you to conceived naturally..

Like myself I dunno.. I have no bleeding yet except on my 13 weeks.. I have more of mucus or "keputihan" aka whitish discharge..

Hurmmm... Well, have to wait for my another 2 weeks scans..

In the meantime have to start washing Haikal's infant clothing.. Just wanna recycle that for baby... Gotta start pack my maternity bag I supposed cz the doctor asked me go to the ward as soon as I got any spotting...

Also she said depending on my situation, I might be warded on my 32 weeks.. Another 4 weeks.. Hurmmm that would be during Ramadhan... Well, better be healthy, I can always qada my fasting in the future..

Ya Allah, help me.. Strengthen me and baby..

Placenta Previa

Well.. Today I had both good and bad news.. Had an appointment with the pakar or genealogist at the general hospital.. What's weighted on my mind is whether my thyroid level is ok.. I had several test and the result is low.. I am confused which result to use.. TSH, T3 or T4.. So got that clarified in the beginning, its T4.. So mine's ok, even its a tad on the low side, it is still within heavy range...

Got my heartbeat checked.. Seems no prob.. Asked about my tiredness as well as cramping.. No prob and lack of calcium so the good doctor gave me a calcium supplement prescription..

So, everything's going well.. She said just go for the routine ultrasound and if there's no prob, I can just go home...

So, here's the drama where I got both my bad and good news...

Well, first me and the lady (dunno the exact name for the ultrasound handler) had fun looking at the baby.. Length.. Expected diameter of head, body, position.. Then she exclaim might be a "Chik Mek" aka female cz no birdie on sight.. However she caution me that its might easily be the other way cz its not 100% true.. Hehehe.. Anyway, I am a bit quite positive cz I discover 2 things this time that's different from my two boys 1) I like to sleep on my left side and 2) my nipples a bit lighter in colour than with my boys that's darker...

Anyway.. Then she checked the position.. Oooo seems like the baby's a bit low.. Then kinda like something covering the bottom of the uterus.. So, along she called up the doctor (hehe.. Kinda like this doctor.. She seems serious and unfriendly in the beginning but afterwards seems ok)...

She looked at the scan.. Then the technician suggested it might be fibroids.. (Huhuhu.. Need to do my pap smears after delivery.. Next on my agenda).. She said no.. Than said to me rather morbidly that it might be placenta previa and I need to do repeat ultrasound 2 weeks afterwards as well as the next two weeks if things do not improved. Then she said to remind the staffs to just arrange for scan.. No need to meet the doctor unless my condition doesn't change and citing 2 reasons 1) low laying placenta and 2) previous history of ceaserean birth.. She said If things don't improve, I might need to be admitted into hospital soon.. Erkk??!!?!

Hurm.. That's it.. I didn't really feel its a serious condition until I went back to the office and googled for more info.. Well, seems that it is serious.. Might result in miscarriage and dangerous to both baby and mom! Wow! No need to persuade me, I will definitely follow doctor's order on this.
