i was admitted to kk due to pre-term contraction. till now, i still don't know what is contractions. i have no idea how it feels at all.
we came to kk not cos of contractions. yesterday, baby doesn't seems to be as active as before. move a bit in the morning during the short meeting, then quiet down for the whole afternoon. i didn't think much about it then. it was after work, i decided to disturb baby when i reach home. just to make sure, baby is ok and will give me some response in terms of movement. lucky on the way home, he started to kick slowly but still very little. well, at least he does kick which means i can be more 放心.
regardless of that minimun movement, i still try to disturb him when i'm resting at home. there isn't much increase of movement to his usual self. then i started to worry again. he is the most active in the night but why not today. i told darling about it and we were debating at home if we should go to kk 24 hour clinic to have a check on him. finally, we decided to leave for kk near 11pm on 30 june.
upon reaching kk, before the door of 24 hour clinic, we saw my gynae. he was shocked to see us and ask what happen. after telling him that i feel decrease in baby's movement, he brought us up to the delivery suite instead. he told us we make the right move to come in to check but went to the wrong place. we should go straight to delivery suite instead of the 24 hour clinic.
so at the delivery suite, i was strapped to the ctg machine to monitor baby's heartbeat. after 30 - 45 mins, gynae came and told me a shocking news. i actually had contractions at every 11 minutes interval. i go huh? contractions??? but i didn't feel any pain or discomfort at all. he give me a check and say that i'm still closed but he wants to admit me to monitor and also stop the contractions. he doesn't want baby to come out so soon. he says it better to hold baby in for at least another week before delivering, it will be better if i can hold longer.
admitted at 12am on 1 july and was send to room 24 at the delivery suite. strapped to ctg machine to continue with the monitoring. at the same time, i was given medication to try stopping the contractions. i was also given injection to strengthen baby's lungs. the injection on the tight is super painful. i was very stupid in the beginning, ctg machine is very noisy due the sound produced showing baby's heartbeat. i didn't know that i can request for that sound to be off. its up to 3am when the nurse comes in and ask me to rest. i told her i can't due to the sound. then she told me, oh its easy and she off the sound for me. phew!!!! it was only then that darling and myself can have some peace and rest a while.
cos i was strapped to ctg machine, i can't really move. so i was not in my usual sleeping position that causes me having very bad backache. then in the morning, gynae came and told me that i had contractions every 3 mins. just as he was talking to me, i'm having another contractions. he asked if i feel anything, my answer is still no. he also told me that my pelvic bone is small so might have to do c-sec but will still monitor and see how. heheheh..... throughout the stay, nurses keep coming and ask if i'm feeling pain but my answer is always a no. i told darling, i need to up a 'i'm not in pain' sign at the bed to show the nurse. so that they won't wake me up asking the same question every time.
i was send to do a scan on the baby and also cervix check. we got another surprise at the adc, baby is now 2.5kg at 34 weeks. that is a increase of 700g from 2 weeks ago. we didn't expect to have such a big jump on baby's weight. well, i guess its good. if baby really decided to come out early, his weight is still quite ok.
finally, my contractions is irregular by around 1pm. then i was allowed to be transfer to the normal ward. due to this last min and unexpected admission, we had downgrade to class b2+ from my a1. with b2+, it means darling can't stay with me. well, i never thought i will be so affected by the fact that he can't stay. in the late afternoon, he told me he is going back first to pick up the laptop for me so that i won't be bored. before he can go, my tears start rolling down. its not that i'm in pain or anything. i just don't want to be left alone.
i know he will want to stay if he can but we better be careful with our expenses. we don't know if i will really go into labour anytime soon, and once baby is born, does he need to stay in icu, how long do i need to be hospitalised. we definitely can't afford to stay in a1 ward for long. really can't imagine what will be the bill be if we stay in a1.
darling left and came back with the laptop for me. darling left home at around 10pm+ which is long after visiting hours. again this time, tears started rolling down but darling didn't see it. now then i know how baby i am. i'm still so not used to not having him with me by my side when i sleep. sigh......
hopefully, my gynae will come and give me good news and let me go back home to rest. with this, not sure if i will be order to bed rest when i go home.
