Bleeding during Pedring

I woke up Tuesday morning thinking of baby shower. After a few minutes I decided to go to the bathroom to pee. When I was about to flush the toilet I was shocked to see blood! Plenty of it. No, not spotting. I stared at it for a while then my heart started to pump faster. I went out and told my mom about it. We we're thinking it's probably because of my mild UTI but we don't wanna take chances. I had my breakfast, which I didn't finish, took a quick shower, put on my clothes then we were off. It was around 8:30 in the morning, and it's a good timing because it's a Tuesday. My doctor's schedule is every Tues-Thur-Sat. It was raining hard earlier that's why my mom decided not to go to work and I felt relieved that she's there/ We didn't know that there's flood already and it was high. We're used to floods, you know. We're from Navotas and Malabon. Even if there's no rain but when the tide's high there will always be flood. But that day was different because there's a storm named Pedring plus high tide plus strong winds. We went back home and left our car, took the jeepney hoping it could pass the flood because we really wanna go to the hospital. :(

Mishaps...

The jeepney was full. Some probably will go to the market to buy their days supply and elsewhere. The jeepney driver was driving slowly and talking to some passengers. There's traffic and people walking in the flood said that the water is high and it's not passable already. Our jeepney driver still didn't make a U-turn. We waited because maybe he wants to make sure that it's not passable. The water is already knee-level from where we are. Suddenly there was a very loud thud! One jeepney passenger shouted "Pumutok yung kuryente!" and his voice made us all panic! People walking on the streets ran to safety or probably somewhere that's dry. Then another loud thud. That's it. It made me cry. :( I was really frustrated because I really wanna go to the hospital and I was really worried about my brother Gab. He's left at home with our 8 month old doggy. Then another passenger said "Huwag kayo didikit sa bakal, baka makuryente tayo!" It scared me to death and made me cry even more. Sheeez! 

The driver decided to make already make a U-Turn because the people walking on the street said that the water is waist-deep already. It's a good thing the jeepney's engine didn't fail us and the guy passengers didn't have to push :p or worse, we had to walk back home, wet. Gross! It was a blessing! I was glad we were able to go home to my brother. There's no electricity plus the storm is getting stronger. If we were able to leave that morning, we won't be able to go home to my brother. For sure he'll be scared, hungry and bored to death! 

When we got home, my mom made me change my clothes and said that I should just rest and just tell her if I feel something wrong or different. The storm and the flood has gotten worse but would probably make another blog entry for that. ;) We had to wait for two days for the water to go down and at last, I was able to go to the doctor last Thursday, October 1st. 

When I, my cousins Andrea and Erika got to the hospital there were patients before me so we had to wait for an hour for me to be checked. I told Dra. what happened and she asked me to lie down so she could do an Internal Examination and what she said next made my heart sink - my cervix opened. She said I need to repeat TVS and go back to her immediately. I paid for my TVS for P935 (freakin' expensive in the hospital!). I was very glad to hear my baby's heart beat again and my baby seems to be fine. The Ultrasonographist said that my baby is fine but there is a sub-chronic hemorrhage and said my doctor will probably tell me to rest and she was right. Dra. Miller gave me meds and said I need to rest. That's what I'm doing now (really?) For how long? I don't know. But I'm willing to do everything for my baby and I'm very blessed because my family is very supportive of me. Thank you, Lord!
