And so the thing I dreaded most happened yesterday and I should call it bloody vaginal discharge. It was on Friday when I got it first but yesterday, I had it several times. I texted my OB and after a few hours she replied that I should rest and take a uterine relaxant.
First thing I did was to Google and my discharge’s character was that of someone who could go into preterm labor. Pregnant women should carefully look at the character of their discharge as it could be the mucus plug coming off the cervix or amniotic fluid leaking. I lifted my legs up the whole time until I fell asleep. I prayed that I will not feel any contractions or cramps, if so, I would have to go to the ER.
Worrying much led me to vomit my dinner too 🙁
After this I promise to stay at home most of the time, relax, and veer away from stressful situations including people. Today I wanted to get an IE to see if my cervix is tightly closed but decided to just go tomorrow when I’ll also have my OGC exam.
OGC means Oral Glucose Challenge test. It could go for up to four hours and blood will be drawn four separate times. I am not scared of needles but I pray that I will pass the test as someone from my family has diabetes. Also, I hope I won’t vomit the concentrate I’ll have to drink.
