Two Mondays ago, I was on the train, routinely on my way to the office when Jane called that she was bleeding heavily. As I have shared on my previous post that any bleeding at any point in pregnancy calls for urgent medical attention, it happened again! Not that she's accountable for it, but the baby's low-lying placenta is making pregnancy very difficult for her.
For that reason, I wasn't able to report to work for 1 week. And another week because come the next Monday when I was supposed to report back, she had a bleeding episode again. And this time it was worse that the doctor did not allowed her to stay at home and rest but to be confined indefinitely until the bleeding and contractions cease. She was on 24-hour "surveillance" for two days, to say the least with the CTG (cardiocotography) never leaving her tummy and plugs left and right. She even received two doses of steroids should the baby be delivered prematurely.
Halfway this ordeal, we booked tickets for a relative to give us extra hands urgently so that I can go to work. And all this time I have been the busiest as I have ever been in my entire life, balancing the family chores, doing groceries, commuting to and fro the hospital, cooking, cleaning, taking care of Ashrie and many more.
There are so many things that happened but I cannot, in my clean conscience complain in at least one of the many things because God's grace was and is sufficient. His blessings far outnumber all the trials that we are experiencing right now.
June 18, 2014 was supposed to be our baby's delivery date but because of Jane's sensitive condition, her doctor will be doing the CS operation on the baby's 37th week exactly. So to date, we have barely 9 days to go before our second baby's birth date. Praying that everything will so smoothly as planned, and both Jane and the baby will be safe.
More updates soon!
