Pregnancy Journal Part 2

It seems a long time since I logged in to write about myself. I am currently 16 weeks now and the baby is growing very well.

For the past 2 weeks, hubby went for reservist and I am all alone. Very bored and tiring for me. No one to talk to after the kids are asleep, no one to watch tv with, etc.... Having to take a train to and fro is very tiring for someone that faints easily... haha..

During these 2 weeks, I fainted once at Yio Chu Kang train station in the morning and nearly fainted at Yishun station in the evening. Doctor has warned me about my low blood pressure and i didn't know that it's so low til I had tummy pain last Friday.

Was supposed to see gynae on 31 Mar 08 but because of tummy pain, I asked to see the gynae earlier on 27 Mar 08. To my surprise, my gynae was telling that my blood pressure is about 95 / 58 which is on the lower side and my baby is very low for this pregnancy.

Baby is normally lower during the last term of pregnancy but due to 3rd pregnancy plus dunno what, my baby is considered very low at this stage of pregnancy. That means there's a risk of miscarriage at any time. Some people will be asked to rest in bed for the rest of the term but my gynae said that it's ok for me to continue to work as long as no stress, no standing and sitting for long period of time, and if I spot any abnormalities - bleeding, tummy pain, etc. to go to hospital to see him immediately.

I think I should be alright. I saw my baby sucking his / her thumb in the scan.. Very cute. Although I have no idea if this is going to be a boy or girl, how he / she looks like, I wish and pray hard that the baby will be born healthy.

I will be going to see my gynae by end of April. By then, I should be able to know if it's going to be a boy or girl. Just pray that everything goes smoothly for both of us.
