Charis, please don't arrive this month... Mummy's not ready yet

We visited our gynae on Tuesday to realise baby Charis is only 1.6kg! She should be 2kg then, so my gynae was really worried. He then told me a further bad news. The water level in my womb is now at a borderline low, & if it continues to fall, Charis will not be able to have the nutrition she needs. If that happens, I'll have to go for induced delivery to take Charis out earlier. My next appointment is on the 18th, so he'll monitor the water level again then, and decides on the next course of action.
I am feeling fatigue for quite some time now, not too sure if my body was overworked. In the past one month, I was so busy everyday that I went out of my house in the morning only to come back at night. I just had so many things going on like work, personal and church activities. My appetitie dropped a lot because of the fatigue. I often couldn't finish my food. Worse still, I even skipped my medicine a lot because by the time I remember to take them, it would be a few hours after I'd last taken my meal, so I can't take them anymore. If not, it would activate my gastric again if I didn't take them together with food. Actually feeling a bit guilty over it now but guessed I can change nothing now except to rest more & try very hard to eat well...
The same night I came back from my gynae's visit, I had some brown discharge. I panicked big time, thought I was about to give birth already! We faster packed our bag (nothing ever has been packed before...), & I quickly bathe. Afterwards, I just rest on the bed & waited for the contractions to come. It never did... false alarm, haha. I called my gynae the next day to tell him about the brown discharge, and he said my body overworked too much, and I need to rest more. I'm thinking it could be the stress resulting from Charis' condition too.
Charis, don't come out so soon k? We haven't finish preparing for your arrival yet. There are so much to do, like washing her clothes, cleaning the cots, buying those miscellaneous stuffs and mattress, clearing the room, etc... We didn't expect such an early arrival, so now in a state of panic when I think of all the things to be done... Yet, I'm trying to relax despite in the midst of chaos. I really thank God for such a great hubby. He's been doing most of the things, so it really helped a lot emotionally and physically.
Also, I'm really hoping to make it to the Taka baby fair this month end, so I can get some good buys for Charis there. God, please let Charis be born naturally only mid next month k?
