Complications

So when everything was actually going good.. all Vibha's things are here, we all set for the birthing class and so and so... So we were thinking now on all the doc appointments are going to be a 10 mins check and doc giving us all good sign. But no thats not how it went in real. We went for the doc appointment and doc gave me a jolt saying that me platelet count seems to be down.. she said that last time it was lill bit less so she thought of rechecking this time, and this time it was way too low.. she said it could be Toximia so was running tests on me for that. I heard about Toximia but never thought I would actually get it! But the good thing is that I didnt have any other symptoms of it so the doc was not so sure whether it would be that. So thats a good news?! Actually no, doc wants to know the reason on what is causing this low count, so got referred to another doc.

So that night it was a tense situation at home. Hubs was very upset, since 1 point doc said was even though its not Toximia, if this low count continous there could be problem during labour.. might be more bleeding, doc wont give me epidural and problem for c-sec... My mind was blank that night since we dont have any concerete problem in hand.. thought I cried all way from doc office to home, since I was scared for my baby.. what if she has to come out early, how she would survive.. My worry were not that something would happen to me..

I know it sounds like a all-sacrificing-mom statement, but really I know I will survive, but was so much more scared for Vibha...say mom-concern, nothing different from other moms i think.
So hubs, sis, MIL, BIL everyone were scolding that something is wrong with my eating...so that night rather than eating what i liked, i just ate what my hubs told me to eat. its mainly done for hubs cos he was so much upset and scared... and other being i know nothing i'll lose if i maintain this for the next 9 weeks if it can help in anyway to Vibha...

So next day, went to the The other doc, again did some blood test.. The gud news is that they said the count has increased a bit from the day before!!! But still the count is less and they dont know what is causing it. So they wanted to run other tests and also do an ultrasound...
So that night, we passed the relieving news to all and everybody were telling their own home remedy solutions... The thing, nobody is aware of any complication like this.. but still they were giving some solution which could help.. nothing out of blue, but common things like sugar in milk, ghee is food, wheat sprouts, yoga n so. My MIL gave me slogam to read, she said that she is reading it on my behalf but it would be good if I can also read it... she was so upset saying that you people are so far off and even if wanted to she cant come...

Hubs was really touched by this action of hers. In his eyes there is no one like his mom and this kinda added one more point to her. May be I am lucky, or may be chosed him after assessing his whole package :)
So as of now... we are running around from one hospital to another to investigate the source of problem... I am keeping my fingers crossed.. Let her live inside for another 8 odd weeks. For that i can eating anything, anything for that...

Hey,

Take care and everything will be well. Don't worry too much about it. It will all come to pass. Just be happy mentally. I guess, its the first time I am commenting.

I surely hope and pray that all should turn out well. Eat a lot, and all the very best for your daughter's birth. May you tide over this little hiccup!
