PREGNANCY

Pregnancy during Pandemic

March 27, 2020

First Trimester: 9 weeks 4 days

Binan,Laguna announces total lockdown due to Covid19. Establishments closed,people were asked to stay at home,hospital will cater emergency matter only as well as the clinic I’m attending.

Still i went to the clinic since its walking distance to our place,well as expected they service only for emergency matter and childbirth.Since I was already there, the nurse check the result of repeat urinalysis and advise me to do water therapy.

I went home worrying about this little fetty inside my tummy. Is this child going to be ok? Does he or she already have a heartbeat?I never thought it would be like this. Well,we wished for a baby on 2020, 2 years after our wedding.It was granted,but i forgot to utter a prayer about healthy environment.Pregnancy is supposed to be a happy pregnancy announcement,baby shower,maternity clothes shopping,attending childbirth seminar and classes,on schedule doctor visits,and all other happy new things to experience for the newest mom to be and dad to be in town.But now I am afraid for my self, for our little family and for the dying frontliners. When this will end?Will our savings and emergency fund will suffice until the end?Will the company give no work with pay salary like other company?

With God’s provision all is well. We survived with God’s grace.
