Morning mummies!
Hazel - jiayou! at least you know Dr Loh is monitoring you here & there and is not taking any chances for you. He's very passionate and dedicated, i must say. Yesterday I emailed him twice. Once was when I was on the way to KKh and another when I was lying down in the delivery suite and strapped to ctg machine. And he replied promptly to both of them, telling me he's around in Singapore and ask what happened. Then when I updated him, he said sounds okay for now and not too worry.
Mummies - I'm better now. Thanks for the concern. Sorry couldn't update after I was discharge from KKH delivery suite last night as battery was low from updating my mom and family members when I was lying in the bed. Basically I went in because my whole body heated up and my belly was really hot. Every cold compress I put to it turn warm very fast so I called my hubby who was out having coffee with his frd outside our home and he quickly sent me to kkh after freaking out how hot I became. I was shivering too. Plus we weren't sure if tmc, dr loh would be around so we drove to kkh anyway. Went to 24hr o&g and they said anyone above 6 months need to go delivery suite. So they sent us to the room, strapped me to machine to monitor for any potential contractions and baby's heartbeat which was beating 20beats faster than average due to the fever. Initially I tot no heartbeat was an issue, I didn't know beat too fast also an issue. Then put cold compress on me, asked me a few questions like if i travelled cuz apparently h1n1 is back and someone got it also. and then waited for about 15-20min and then gynae came, did body check, baby check (by tapping on tummy), continued monitoring his hb until dropped by 10 beats I think and then said I can be discharged. She prescribed me lots of meds (safe for preggers) to take and all drowsy so that I can rest and asked me to monitor temperature again cuz fever can affect baby apparently (1st tri having a fever is quite risky to fetus but 2nd & 3rd tri depends on how serious is the fever).
so i went home still feeling very feverish, water still stinging and watery but had peace of mind that baby's good. he wasn't moving very much and tummy was hardening. then whole night just tahan being sponged with cool water to bring down my heat until now I don't feel as terrible as I did last night but will continue to monitor. just managed to roll myself out of bed only.
Sorry for the long post! Hahah wanted to update you ladies in detail. I think I must have caught it from one of the 5 house visits during CNY day 1 or something...plus with the CNY goodies so please monitor yourselves too mummies. We've come a long way.
