had contractions and a heavy show...my bb made a big drama...
7am starts contractions, but i thought nothing still went to work..since my gynae only opens her clinic at 2pm ytd, so i thought afternoon that go see her...who knows...
1pm+ starts to have show (bleeding), my colleague drove me over to MT E Novena, Dr Teo's clinic
2pm The moment I reached the lift lobby, starts to bleed down my legs...then I think I scared the nurses in Dr Teo's clinic becoz of that...
they settled me, clean me up then Dr Teo checked and say I already 3-4cm dilated, sent me down to the delivery suite, wanted to try to stop the contraction to prevent preterm labor.
4pm Dr visit me again, concluded that the pills are not working, I'm already 10cm dilated, she then say I'm going to deliver and burst my waterbag, then realised my bb in breeched position, buttock below, my bb haven't turn down all the while...so need to have emergency c-sect. Nurses were quick, went to prepare OT and stuffs and start pushing me to the OT
who knows, haven't reach OT entrance, my bb hurry to come out already...
4.30pm In OT, just after they managed to get me onto the OT table, Dr Teo assessed and say bb too low in position also dangerous to c-sect...end up natural birth, just pushed him out...no time for epidural or anything...
ends up the nurses in the OT were so confused, come out say "no c-sect, natural birth"...my hubby got a big shock, he was getting ready outside the OT, waiting to be called in to accompany me for the c-sect, but in less than 10mins, nurses come out and tell him I delivered already...he was in total confusion, thought the nurses got the wrong daddy...lol
As for the experience with Dr Teo...this is my 2nd bb with her..i like her as she's good and calm in her explanation..and this time round, she's very decisive in her assessment..the moment she thinks i need a c-sect, she immediately get the consent form, explain to me about the risk clearly and calmly. Then in OT, when she decide then I should push, she calm me down (i was crying and screaming becoz of the pain)..then explan quick but calmly..i really trusted her...crying was only becoz of the pain, not becoz of the drama (she thought i was scared)...
As for the experience in Mt E Novena..the atmosphere is good..definitely better than TMC, my #1 was in TMC, i agree on the mass production part and they increase price like nobody's business but the service level keep going down, and the staffs there were not friendly.. in Mt E Novena, the staffs are all very friendly, when u talk to them, you feel calm n happy...but I agree with the previous comments...the staffs are quite short-handed even though not many patients here (now only 4-5 mummies?), hence sometimes requests may have to wait...not sure about nursery as my bb is in nicu, haven't get to deal with nursery staffs.. if u like quiet atmosphere..here is a good environment..the food are quite good....there's more choices for hubby...my hubby going to have lamb shank tonight...i was drooling when i saw the menu...waiting to see the food later..
hope the experience helps...
