Spotting.. yet again @ week 13

Had some spotting last evening..

Just back from seeing Dr Tham -
Warning that he gave is - any brown discharge / blood is NOT normal.
For 2nd trime, the worst case is the opening of the cervix which may cause miscarriage.
However, if found out early, it can be treated (hospitalisation required)

Therefore, he recommend that I stay in SG - Abstain from travelling by bus, coach, air... (I have a biz trip coming up next week).
And visit him for a scan everytime i bleed/ spot.

The bad news is, i have to continue eating the horrible hormorne pill that gives me headache and makes me nauseas.... geez....

Good news is, my OSCAR test result is out... everything is clear... risk of down syndrome is low.
So.. i've got to pray to god tonite that everything is good so far and hope things continue to improve as the pregancy progresses...
