What a Scare!

Our muffin gave me quite a scare today. A scare that I hope will NOT repeat and not haunt us again.

For the last few days, I've noticed that muffin likes to kick/jabbed/squirm in the mornings. From around 9am to 11am is when muffin seems to be the most active. Or when I'm hungry is when muffin will protest too.

But today, there's no movements! No matter hw hard I try to talk to muffin, shake my still-not-too-big belly, there's nothing! I panic.

I called the Gyn and he told me to go down to Mt A to the delivery suite to do a CTG scan just to be safe.

I literally flew there.

Thank Goodness, all is fine. Muffin's heartbeat is regular at about 157 and there's lots of movements detected on the machine. The irony is, muffin moved LOTS! LOTS and LOTS! Causing the sensors to keep loosing signals coz muffin just refused to stay in position and here I was worried sick.

I really felt quite silly to be there when the nurses gave me knowing smiles/nods/understanding.... they seem to be just too understanding when they know that I'm a 1st time mommy.

But, I swear. Muffin really refuse to move this morning prior to the CTG!

What ever it is, I just hope and pray tat our muffin will just continue to grow, safe and healthy and don't give me and the daddy such scares again!!
