𝙏𝙬𝙤 𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙪𝙚 and still counting 😅
Thought I’ll just post some updates here to give u guys some sense of relieves from all the silence 🥲 So this is what it’s like if you’re planning to have your labour done here in HKL (my first time here too)…
🟠 21 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙚 2021
10am+ 👉🏻 Got myself registered for admission
11am+ 👉🏻 Nurses performed ECG to check baby’s heart rate while waiting for bed’s availability in the ward
12pm+ 👉🏻 Was told to wait at home bcs bed might only be available after 7pm bcs currently ward is full [𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 “𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙘-𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙” 𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙙𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 😹]
5pm+ 👉🏻 Nurse called to inform there’s finally bed available and asked to “check in” immediately
6pm+ 👉🏻 Given some orientation in the ward, was told no outside food, no visitors, different classes of beds available and where to get new linen if you’ve stained your clothes/ bed
7pm+ 👉🏻 Set up branula on my hand. Changed to hospital attire (for all pregnant mom) and settle down for the day (night)
🟠 22 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙚 2021
👉🏻 Did a tablet induce
👉🏻 Finger Test to check dilation, only 1cm opening. It’s a bloody mess and horrifying procedure for the first time me 😅
👉🏻 Doc decided to proceed with induction using 𝙁𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙮 𝘽𝙪𝙡𝙗 (to insert balloon) - another similar Finger Test procedure 🥵 This will help to ripen / soften the cervix and dilate better. Will leave it for 12 hours, in the meantime I’ll do some walking in the room
👉🏻 Had my first contraction. It started from the lower abdomen and the pain was excruciating. I tried to hold it by doing some deep breath but damn, it didn’t last me long enough. I end up telling the nurse I need some pain relief
👉🏻 I was given a jab on my butt and the pain subside, I fell into deep sleep till the next morning (𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙄 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙄 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙩🤣)
👉🏻 Bloody discharge is normal after that
🟠 23 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙚 2021
👉🏻 Woke up still feeling a lil bit drowsy. And it’s 4cm dilation now, but the opening didn’t improve further, it stayed the same throughout the day, so I was not allowed to proceed with labour yet
👉🏻 Decided to continue with more walking in the room
👉🏻 Doc removed the balloon 12 hours later from the first insert
👉🏻 No further contraction throughout the day, maybe there is (based on ECG reading) but it’s very mild and bearable
👉🏻 Bloody discharge still continue, constant changing of linen and “sarong” to keep my space clean and comfortable 😂
🟠 24 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙚 2021
5am+ 👉🏻 Showered. Washed my hair. Was reluctant at first bcs there’s no hot water and the water was as cold as ice! But I can’t withstand my messy and oily hair anymore. Now feeling clean, fresh and good 🥰
6am+ 👉🏻 Doc came to check. Another finger test! 𝘽𝙮 𝙣𝙤𝙬, 𝙄’𝙢 𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮, 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙝 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙩 🤯 No improvement. Dilation is still at 4cm. They’ll check again 6 hours later 😮💨
🤰🏻 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 4 𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡, 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙘𝙨 𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙣𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙞𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙣 22 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙚 2021, 𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙚𝙚𝙙 😵💫 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙘 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙡𝙖𝙝.. 𝙄’𝙢 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚.. 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙧 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩. 𝙉𝙤𝙬 𝙄’𝙢 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙙 24/7 𝘼𝘾 𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢…
🌈 Overall experience was quite pleasant here. The two - bedded AC room, the quieter environment due to Covid, the close monitoring of medical team towards pregnant mothers (performing ECG & BP every few hours).. Couldn’t ask for more lah for a GH standard 💯
The only thing I wished I could have now is better food, at least 𝙝𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙞𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙣! But I know this is not possible, that’s why I said it’s a wish! 😂 Trust me, the food portion here is too little, can only last me a good 2 hours! I’m already craving for more meat 😆
☀️ Today is another brand new day to restart. Let’s hope labour can happen soon so I can go home to my family ❤️

EDD: 22 June 2021
Last appt with my nurse at KK TTDI 🥶 Not going to see her again until I give birth 😶🌫️ Below are the review from yesterday’s follow up…
✅Baby’s heartbeat is 142
✅Mummy’s weight increased by 1.2kgs (swollen feet a̶n̶d̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶s̶t̶i̶p̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ does contribute to the weight gain too apparently 🥺)
✅Will arrange to meet with specialist at HKL this Friday, 18 June to further discuss on labor plan (bcs cannot exceed my EDD)
✅Continue to monitor for labour sign, if any, proceed straight to the hospital (PAC @ HKL)
PAC = Patient Assessment Centre
Being a first time mum can be quite challenging at times. Even though there may be lots of sharing and reading, but identifying the actual sign & symptoms are really confusing.. Especially contractions! 😫 Stomach tightening in the earlier trimester only happen after meals, these days, I woke up with it.. HAHAH! I mean it’s tight throughout the day (and night)! Then as I was anticipating for contractions… it just didn’t happen.
Last night, it did felt like some mild discomfort on my lower abdomen, like mild cramp, not really painful as it was bearable and we thought this might be it.. But as I “focused” too much on the symptoms, I think the discomfort disappeared. HAHAH! I told bae, even I wasn’t exactly sure what i was feeling right then but I can be sure if it’s a real contraction I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep.. so this is not what we want.. 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙭𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨. 𝙃𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚-𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙥 𝙗𝙖𝙜, 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠, 𝙄𝘾 𝙣 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙠 😂 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙛 𝙄 𝙨𝙪𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙜𝙤 𝙤𝙣 𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙧. I think it was 1am++ last night 😰 *betul betul drama* 😂
So we waited (while sleeping) till this morning, nothing happened. False alarm! No mucus plug, no contraction, no back pain, no bleeding, no water bag broke..
Anyway, tomorrow will be the day where we will meet the specialist at HKL, so let’s just be patient and see what they got to say 🤗
Current mood:
👦🏻 = excited 😍😜🥳
👩🏻 = nervous 😰😮💨🥵
👶🏻 = chillax 🤓😏💃🏻🥂🍰✨
