What transpired went like this -
I was out at Tangs on Wednesday with my mum when I had severe abdominal pain. I couldn't even get up from the toilet floor. Thinking I was having severe menstrual cramps, I didn't think much of it. Managed to get some painkillers frm the counter staff and when the pain ebbed, got my hb to pick me up for home.
Thursday came and went without anything amiss. I didn't feel any pain but I had this naggy feeling that something isnt right.
Friday arrived and I went on as usual. Cooking for baby and looking after a feverish hubby. Then all of a sudden at around 6 pm, the cramps came back in full force. I could not even sit up from the bed. I kept telling myself to tahan and that it will go away. But 1 hour later, it still didnt. Had no choice but to ask my sick hubby to drive me to the clinic. ILs were out with hb's nephew. I stay at a walkup apartment so, had to make my way down from the 3rd floor. Really didnt know how i managed to, but I struggled to the car.
At the GP's, I told the doc that I had severe pains in my uterus and cervix. He says it's unlikely and insisted that I could have some other gastric pains or intestinal infection. He even ran a UTI test. It came out clear. Then he had no choice but to listen to what I was saying and conducted a Vaginal Examination. He found that something was affecting my uterus and right ovary. He can't tell what so he suggest that I go down to my gynae at TMC. It was already almost 8, so he had to get the nurses there to page for my gynae. I suggested the GP to take a pregnancy test for me just in case. True enuf, it turned out positive. Sarah was with me then, hubby and I sent her home so she can eat dinner before rushing me to TMC.
When we got there, the stupid nurse hadnt paged for the gynae. Instead, she sent for another GP, their in-house GP to see to me. They all thought that I was just another 'false case'. I was in so much pain then that I didnt care less what was happening as long as they took away the pain from me. So I was super pissed off when their stupid GP (he looked like a houseman) prodded and poked my abdomen and came up with a silly,'I dont know what it can be- must call gynae'. So I waited for another half an hour or so.
Gynae came and did an ultrasound- we found a cyst like thing in my right ovary. He thought it might be an ectopic pregnancy but couldnt confirm cos need to run more test. Said that I should stay overnight for observation. My hubby thought it was nothing serious and insisted that we go home and come back the next day for the test. Gynae gave me an injection and took out some blood for the test (we paid extra for a speedy test) and asked us to wait for at least an hour or so. Thinking all was well, he went back to catch his movie (he was watching a movie when we called for him). Half an hour later, when my hubby went to buy some food at delifrance, I tried to sit up- Just as hubby stepped in. I felt a sharp pain in uterus and befor I knew it, I started to feel like I was floating. The room swirled. Hubby started yelling for nurses to come in. All I remembered was me being extremely delirious and alot of people running around me. I started gasping for oxygen, couldnt breathe cos something was restricting my ribcage. Needles were pushed into me, wires hooked up. I thought i was gone. Found out later why I couldnt breathe, blood was pooling around my ribcage area. My veins collapsed so the nurses and doctor couldnt really get drips and drugs into my body. I could feel all the pricking and prodding over and over again, but couldnt say nothing cos of my delirium. Gynae managed to rush back and rushed me to the operating theatre. Somehow or other I made it. Nurses and Doctor kept coming to see me over the next couple of days and told me I was really lucky. If I had gone home without waiting for the test results or anything, no one could guarantee that I'll still be around today.
So I guess for the fact that Im still alive, Im very much thankful. But I still wanna know what exactly happened. I do not know if Im still pregnant or not. Doctor said that theres a slim chance that I might. Im trying to get answers now. Hopefully can let u gals know more over the next couple of days. Whatever it is, if anyone of u kena sharp pain in abdomen, please don't hesitate to check on it.
