hi all! I'm finally back with some updates!
My last few posts few days back was talking abt a "lump" which dropped out while I pee, tummy cramps n freq soft stools. ok I went for my gynae visit on tue and showed her the picture of the "lump", told her abt the cramp n sudden change from being constipated to poo-ing twice a day with soft stools. Apparently,these are symptoms of labour!
For the "lump" : thank goodness it is not mucus plug! It is actually one whole big lump of discharge due to my very bad yeast infection! can u imagine that! I thought it was disgusting! My infection was so bad that the discharge came off as one whole big lump! In fact, my infection came abt like 3 days after I was treated for it!
The reason why I keep getting yeast infection is bcoz of diabetes! I failed my glucose test.Then I was asked to prick my finger n test my blood sugar 6 times a day right.. during my last visit on tue.. i showed my gynae the results.. she was not happy coz readings too high for her comfort.
okie.. so after clarification of the "lump" and issues on blood sugar.. my gynae wanted to check n see if the infection had caused contractions n she did a VC for dilation. Lucky I wasnt dilated. But immediately after the VC.. while i got off the bed.. I had a terrible cramp on lower abdomen. Gynea saw my face changed and quickly helped me and touched my tummy and she said I'm having contraction. It could be triggered by the VC.
So she immediately sent me to the labour ward to do CTG. Results showed that i'm really having contractions so I was warded immediatlely. I also had an injection on to strengthed bb's lungs and put on ventolin drip. I was discharged this afternoon. My gynae also arranged a dietician to educate me on how to control my blood sugar n what to eat b4 I was discharged today.
Now I had to do two inserts, morning n night, for a week, for my yeast infection. take ventolin pills 3 times a day to prevent further contractions. Take probiotic pills for my yeast infection 3 times a day. not forgetting abt the rest of the supplements. And also I had to continue my finger-pricking for blood sugar test 6 times a day! wow..feel like a lot of medications to take leh.
Now my gynae finally tell me not to exercise BUT she also reminded me to watch my diet very carefully n not to gain excessive weight! I ve abt 3.5 weeks to go before my delivery! I hope bb can gain more weight! at the moment I gain weight faster than my bb leh!my bb is only 2.2 kg at the moment.. I wonder how much weight she can put on within 3.5weeks!
