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 ❤️
