I had decided to jot down my pregnancy details this time because I do not wish to forget about it and I hope it will help other fellow mummies-to-be who might be in the same situation as me since I couldn't find similar case locally (Singapore) when I google.

On 19 January 2014, I went for my monthly checkup and it changed my life after this visit. Dr. Ding took longer than usual to scan, usually it will just take awhile to take measurement and he mentioned there's some amniotic fluid left, lucky is not empty. He wanted me to go NUH for a FA scan as well. At that point, I can't understand the situation and all I got was full of question marks because I remembered just last month I was informed that there is no detailed scanning done in Malaysia, if there's any problem I will be referred to Singapore. I kept thinking what's going on, what's happening because I could see my baby's heartbeat and movements.

I left the hospital confused, I told my hubby let's see Dr. Ng to get second opinion. All along I have been visiting 2 gynaes so that I could see baby more frequently so without a word we went over right away. During the scan, Dr. Ng agreed on what Dr. Ding had told us. There's only little amniotic fluid left compared to the last scan he did for me. This time hubby asked him what could the reason(s) this happened and the following answer was not what I were prepared to hear. "There are a few reasons causing this.. It might be fetal problem, placenta problem etc." i didn't manage to hear the rest because I heard termination if it's fetal problem. Dr. Ng was very kind to help us make an appt the next day as he had to make an appt for another patient. 

I went home with a heavy heart, google for information and found out if it's fetal problem like no kidneys/bladder, baby will have 0% surviving rate on outside. And at 20 weeks pregnant only, it might affect baby's lungs development as well. Read up a lot but nothing calm me down partly I won't know what's wrong until I go for FA scan. As expected, I had a sleepless night that day.
