Yesterday was a big scare to me. Mum fell down on the 31st weeks. As I grew bigger, mum's center of gravity shifts making mum more susceptible to falls. So, Mum should have been more careful.
Yesterday afternoon, mum came out from the toilet forgotten about the wet floor. Before she knew it, she slipped on the wet floor. Her head knocked on the wall and her glasses broke. Then, she lied down on the floor without knowing what to do next. People started to gather around mum. Everyone started to check out if I was fine. Touching mum's stomach and asked mum if she felt pain in the stomach. Mum was so nervous and she just said no. After gathered her conscious, she went to the toilet again if the vagina bleeds.
What mattered most now was my safety. She decided to go to the nearby clinic. The doctor helped to check my heart beat. Unfortunately, he couldn't hear it after pressing so hard on mum's stomach (without taking off mum's shirt and pants). Ridiculously, the doctor told mum that it was the right way to hear my heartbeat and asked mum to count 5 movements in the next 24 hours. Speechless. Without much hope or taking the risk to wait for the 5 movements, mum decided to c gynae.
A good friend of mum, auntie SL offered to drive mum to the specialist. Another round of scare, the toilet was extremely wet where mum got to walk in to take urine. After all, mum just noticed that Malaysia is not a friendly place for pregnant ladies. During rainy season, all places were just wet and they just don't care about the safety for elderly, pregnant women, etc.
A big relief to mum when doctor said I was healthy. After all, mum has to be extra careful when the floor is wet. Papa was still in the dark until mum was getting her glasses fixed. After knowing about it, papa went straight home to check out if we were ok. Papa used a hot egg to massage on a plump on mum's head and left eye. Papa will always there with us.
