Effects of a fast maturing placenta

I have been advised to be on bed rest today till the baby comes out. Can you visualise how long my face is right now?

Because I am diabetic, the baby’s developmental age is plus minus 2 weeks LESS than my actual pregnancy, yet she is plus minus 2 weeks LARGER than my actual pregnancy age. Are you confused yet?

The important point to note, is that the baby has not fully matured to an age where she will not need NICU care should she come out now.

I had bleeding again today. All I did was go out to Bangsar (I walked 30 metres very slowly, swear to God) and I picked Tee up from school (another 20 metres walk?). I was so exhausted by 2pm that I just had to lie down for a few hours.

Another point to note is that my sugar level has been dropping as of yesterday (which is good for a diabetic) but not good in this case, because it means that the placenta is becoming even less efficient. So hurray that I can eat more, but not much can be done about a fast maturing placenta. *sigh*

The Doctor warned me again this evening about NICU and that I should really stick it out till at least the end of the month and ask the baby not to come out. But she is heavily doubting that I will be able to do it. *sigh*

Oh, baby….baby…..will you please just be strong and stay inside for another 10 days at least??

Tee has a dental appointment tomorrow so I’ve asked Mom (who’s just returned from abroad) to take her. But Tee says she wants me there too. How? She also says she needs me at her big school assessment exam. How?

  1. oh no..you really must rest more and stop doing anything (if you can). could your hubs take some time off to accompany Tee? I had bleeding too when I was 6 mths pregnant with Ashley. Doc ordered complete bed rest. take care patsy.

  2. baby comes first. Tessa has to get used to the fact that the new baby is first priority. It might sound harsh but that is the reality. She is no longer the ONLY princess anymore. You better get her used to this fact esp when after the baby born and you will even need to attend to the baby even more. Get yr mom to be on standby to “replace you” for T.

  3. Let Tess know u’ll be waiting for her at home. U can’t risk ur life and the bubs.

    R u on bed rest reading this? I hope so. Good that ur mom n helper are here. U can really rest now.

  4. Please please take care. It is hard to just go on bed rest when you have a toddler to take care of but try your best not to exert too much energy

  5. Hopefully u can follow ur doc’s advice cos u only have to bear a little while before the delivery… I believe your Hubs will help out on Tessa and so is ur mom. Pls take care ya…
