Spotting again

I'm now 21 weeks. These two days I have pink spotting. I wasn't as panicky as the last time. Maybe partly it's because I can still feel baby's movement. She is still quite active and responsive when I sing and talk to her.

I called Dr Poon's clinic this morning but the nurse said that he is only free to see me at 3.45 pm today. I posted my situation at SMH facebook and Jois and AJ recommended me to go KKH O&G straight away. And so I went.

The doc's name is Sharimala, an Indian. I took special notice of her name because she did pap smear for me and it was so damn painful. She is so rough. I felt raped. Or rather, I feel like a gold mine and she just digged and digged. I told her I just did pap smear (by Dr Chen in Feb 2011) but she still wanted to do for me. She said my cervix is bleeding, and my pregnancy is fine as the blood doesn't come from the womb. I told her about the history of my spotting. She said this time round the bleeding could be different from the previous times.

She also used a doppler to listen to baby's heartbeat. She mentioned that the heartbeat is fine. Then the nurse gave me an injection and Doc asked me to continue to eat my utrogeston these few days. She only wanted to give me one day's MC but I asked if she can give me Monday too and she said okay. Consultation charge is $60 (considered cheap for a first time walk-in as compared to Dr Chris Chen). Total bill $130. I think it's okay because she did so many things for me.

Hubby called from Hong Kong and asked me to take care and don't think so much. I'm really feeling okay. I guess after eating the utrogeston, I will feel drowsy and sleep early tonight. Hubby will be back in the wee hours when I'm asleep.

On Saturday, after lunch I suddenly felt a flow from down under. Went to the toilet and check. There is a clumpy, thick yellowish cum brown/red blood clots of discharge. It was quite gross. I took a picture of it - just in case, I need to show gynae. I told Hubby about it too and he said he wants to look at the photo. He described it as tau hway texture.

I was rather worried and went to google. Some of them said that it's the mucus plug and usually in the last trimester but I'm only 21/22 weeks. Thankfully, no more of such discharge and I'm resting at home. Didn't dare to go Baby Expo and stayed at home to rest.
