I had brown discharge yesterday morning at 10.30 am before my dim sum treat to my family members. Yup despite the brown discharge, I still went out. I called gynae. He said if I see red discharge, waterbreak burst or tummyache, then straight away admit to hospital.
After the dim sum treat, we went home and I took a 2-hour nap. When I woke up to bathe, there were a few drops of water from my down below. I touched and smelt it. No it's not urine. Then I thought maybe it's my sweat. I told Hubby about it. He thinks it's sweat too.
No action all the way until night time. I still manage to go to church at 6 pm and had dinner with my parents at Boon Keng market. Contractions were felt on and off throughout the night but they were bearable and I thought there is nothing to be concerned about. At 4 am, I was awakened twice by two waves of contractions. But they went away shortly and I managed to sleep until Hubby woke up at 7.15 am. Realised that I have some brown discharge again. But since not red, so didn't panic.
Dr Poon called at 8.00 am to check on me. I was lying on the bed. I told him that I'm okay, just that I had some brown discharge and some irregular contractions. He told me to see him at his clinic abt 9.30 am. I hung up the phone and then wanted to shower and prepare myself. But I felt a trickling of liquid from my buttocks. I thought maybe it's blood. I took a tissue and wipe, it's water leh. My sweat again?!
When I undressed, there was again that same droplets of water from my down there. I went to touch and smell it again. It's not urine. The texture is slightly sticky. It's transparent. I wiped off the fluid from my inner thigh and concluded that perhaps it's my amniotic fluid leaking. But weird, it's not waterbag burst or constant mild water flowing out. It's just droplets of water - as if the last day of menses that kind of flow or even lesser.
I showered and sms my mom. My parents are coming to fetch me to the clinic while I am typing this. Haven't told Hubby about it yet because he is busy at work. Will update him after I see Dr Poon.
-----------------
So suay that my hp is dead. I can't call out, answer calls, access any of the apps, cannot even shut down my hp. So I can't call the clinic beforehand. We just went down to Hougang directly. When we were there, the receptionist told us that doctor is in the hospital and they tried calling me but can't reach me.
So after a quick breakfast, we headed down to Mount A coz I told them that my water is leaking. Was put on CTG scan again and then Dr Poon came. He put two fingers into my down there and felt the baby's head. He said that it's not low enough and still not engaged. He also put an apparatus inside and said there is still brown discharge. Later, he did an ultrasound scan and said that Baby is fine and heartbeat is okay. The bill came up to be $180!
He asked me to go home and wait until REAL labour kicks in, which he guessed would be this Wed or Thursday. I guess he didn't want to induce me because he didn't want to risk cutting me, as Baby's head is not engaged yet.
My parents waited for me and then my mom talked to Dr Poon too. He told her Wed or Thurs will be it. Just now, my mom asked me to call the clinic coz they are looking for me. (Remm my hp is down?) They told me to go straight to Mount A this Thursday.
Hope baby be co-operative and guai guai.
