A Blardy Xperience

Should I blame it on my 'foul' mouth? I was just passing a remark to a fellow friend over telephony conversation few days back on how I wish Lil Bebe is dued in December like me. In addition, I mentioned that if Lil Bebe follows it's Ummi (me!), it will be a premature baby. Indeed, last Thursday, I was put at a verge to force-deliver my Lil Bebe. At 24th weeks?????!!! Hystericality!

I rise & shine to early Thursday morning, had my hot shower, to realise I was bleeding. Without hesitation I towelled myself up, and checked on my sleeping space. Pool of blood!!! Patches of blood on the duvet too!!! Baiyaa!!!!!

My gynae was away on leave, thus KK adviced leading us to the 24-hour clinic. Hubby rushed-drove me there. Without knowledge, the clinic deals cases for preggers carrying 21 weeks below. I was pushed to the delivery suite, then.

It was an agonizing two-and-half-hour there. I only had one ultimate question which kept coming out from me. How's Lil Bebe? I kept holding on to my tummy, talking/asking Lil Bebe. Alhamdulillah, it responsed me with its usual kicks.

But why the bleeding? The fetal scan showed Lil Bebe's actively fine. They did 'spatula' twice one me, which I hate BIG, BIG time. Imagine am already bleeding, seeing more blood from those rubber gloves.

At 24th weeks, Lil Bebe is viable. This means Lil Bebe is full form, possible to be deliver. Except it will be premature, and has to be incubated with all the tubesies & wire-ies many, many months, before it could live on normally as other normal infants. They insisted on observing me and Lil Bebe till tomorrow. If I bleed further, they 'saiko' me to give a head go to deliver Lil Bebe. No!!!

Unfortunately, KK's Baby ICU Unit was full due to few cases of multiple pregnancies. So they contacted their 'good friend', NUH, which was willing to welcome me there. I was ambulanced there. Throughout the journey leaving KK to NUH, I cried myself like lil babies do. The 2 nurses who accompanied me pacified me real hard.

In NUH, I was shoved straight to the labour ward. Shivers ..... Nurses ... one doc after another, went in and out, taking temps, blood pressure, fetal scan, spatula-ing (HATE IT!), drawing blood, from me. At 5pm exactly, I was warded. What agony ...

The bloody episode finally ended today, melly kissmass day, when they finally decided to discharge me. What a relief ... But I can't be to happy. Am still bleeding small spots though. So am on fall precaution, and no-no-strenuous on me. Normal cases of bleeding could be due to bleeding placenta, but they found it's fine, at mid-anterior position. My womb a lil bit irritated though, thus was given a jab to soften it.

Ummi and Lil Bebe at the comfort-beck of Home Sweet Home now. Surrounded by Abah, my loving parents and sister, who are doing a full-check on me. I love 'em so..... much. And no reporting to office till 3rd January 2005.
