Junnie,
ya I was really happy that mm & maruko dropped by last night with their lovely gifts & for chatting with me. Really very kind & sweet of them. Happy that hb popped by with a surprise visit too
Zhenzhen,
thanks I'm feeling much better.
However an incident that happened in my ward yesterday late afternoon was quite disturbing so I can't sleep well. A 19-weeker pregger was warded on tue 1am & her bed was opposite mine. Her waterbag also broke but unfortunately her cervix also dilated slightly. Initially her Gynae told her to hang on for another 12-13 wks & suggested sewing back her cervix. However, around 2pm yesterday, she was told bb can't be saved & she had to deliver it naturally. so she just laid there waiting for contractions to set in. The disturbing part was the whole procedure was done right in my ward. I could hear her screams & nurses asking her to 'push push push. Gosh, it was really sad & I was quite affected as I wept for her loss behind my curtains. Apparently at wk 19, it's classified as 'natural abortion' & there's no need for her to go labour ward. Plus, nurses were worried she'd be devastated when she hears other newborns crying (esp when it's the 2nd time the same thing happened to her). I guess they forgot my presence & how this might affect me too. When it happened, I also started having bad contractions & felt as if my stomach was turning upside down. :-(
so we must indeed count our blessings & be thankful for everything. Although i'm suffering from discomforts & inconveniences of being confined to the hospit bed, at least I have the opportunity to fight for time & my baby's development. Some people simply do not have the chance to do so, no matter how much they desire.
Sorry for the long post. Just feeling a bit melancholic on my birthday
