Come Monday morning, I had already made up my mind that I must go and see Dr Nik and clear with him on the medications I can take at this stage of my pregnancy. My stomach cramps were irregular but when it comes, it is very painful. It feels like a contraction only that it is at the upper abdomen.
After breakfast, this time nasi lemak, for lack of anything else safe to eat, we headed to KL and encountered the usual Monday heavy traffic, even in the SMART tunnel! Finally reached Glen***les at about 9am, husband dearest dropped me at the specialist clinic and headed to work.
Dr Nik arrived at close to 9:30am and I was the second patient, managed to review some paper proposals while waiting, and finally got to meet him close to 10am.
Dr Nik did an ultrasound as usual and the baby has grown a bit, the head circumference indicating a 14 week size, and baby seems to be very active moving in the sac. That definitely eased my anxiety since I have always had this phobia that the baby's heartbeat will just suddenly disappear like it did during the three terminated pregnancies between Munirah and Zarif. Dr Nik scanned my kidneys, liver, pancreas to see if there is anything that should be of concern. Semua nampak normal. He suspects that there could be an infection, so to be on the safe side, said that he has to admit me to run some tests. Took three vials of blood for tests and asked Haniza to prepare the admissions paperwork. In the meantime, I was still having the stomach cramps.
Admitted! Never in previous pregnancies have I been admitted into hospital except during Munirah's and that was at 8 months after fainting in the lift to work.
