JOURNEY 6 : 35weeks Pregnancy at UMSC

Hi All, 

During 35 weeks pregnancy, we went for a visit at UMSC. Prof Siti seems happy with the baby size and sees there is no urgency to deliver the baby at this point of time. 

However, we were asked to be admitted at 36weeks for monitoring and early delivery. 

Since the baby will be delivered early, the plan is to inject DEXA. Main objective is to make sure the baby's lung is matured enough once the baby is delivered. 

Glucose Reading Spike
The plan to inject Dexa had causing our Endo team worry. Based on their advise, Dexa injection would cause the glucose reading to go really high. Therefore, strict monitoring shall be done during the exercise. 

Our Endo Hospital Putrajaya team then wrote a referral letter to UMSC and UMMC Endo team for next course of action. We were referred to PROF. DR. SHIREENE RATNA. She is really good and motherly as well. 

Admitted at 36weeks
On 36weeks, my wife was admitted for Dexa injection and prepare for early delivery. Instead of being admitted to UMSC, she was admitted at PPUM (UMMC). The reason being is because Prof Siti would her team to closely monitor her. 

On the 3rd day of admission, she was brought to another scan done by one of the consultant. The Prof recommended there is no urgency for early delivery. 

Discharge from UMMC
Since we have got a new recommendation, Prof Siti came by and advise my wife to return home and wait until 38weeks.
