www.ninemonthslater.com.sg
cheekz,
my cramps were whole day and got worse at 9pm..
i'm so frustrated. it got really bad at 9pm and i told hb we wait until midnite (cos i called KKH and their service is tremendously lousy. they said sorry we cannot contact ur gynae unless u come down)..
some of u have ur gynae's contact rite? it was so frustrating last nite cos the forum was down and i was in pain. so we monitored til midnite..
stil so painful. went online to read about BH contractions.. the website says if u change position, it will go away. so i tried everything from sitting down to lying down to bathing to watever position i could think of.. it didn't go away.
so i waited til 2am, so painful i cannot slp. den i went into kkh in the end cos my mum never experienced contractions (i was epi baby, my brothers were both c section) so she said better just go down n check.
so mum, brother, hb n i went down. i walked up to delivery ward slowly n the nurses said "ok we are going to admit u". so they did. they brought me to the delivery ward. gave me a room, strapped me up for the CTG and monitored bb's heart beat..
by the time my gynae reached about 345am, she looked at the graph and said that the contractions were real and it was much more intense before she came.. and it went away.. still there, but not as intense as the 2am one.
checked for dilation (so uncomfortable but not painful). she said not really dilated yet and came to the conclusion that the pain is not strong enough to dilate the cervix. she said she can discharge me or keep me in, because she said it can go either way. either it gets worse or it totally subsides.
i was very frustrated. i told her i want to go home. so she said ok but if continue to be painful or gets worse pls come back because bb can come out already. the moment she left the hospital, the pain got worse. den i was asking bb, why are u so cheeky? when gynae is here, the contractions eased.. the moment she go home, the intensity increased by so much.
but i didn't bother to call her back cos i wanted to go home. i also don't know what she means by UNBEARABLE PAIN. it was unbearable in my point of view. cannot walk properly, each step i take i have to clutch my tummy, wait til the pain goes away then i walk again.
last nite i reached home about 5am.. couldn't slp cos it was so painful.. until now. very painful. my actual appt with her is tmr nite. now i dunno if i should wait until tmr or if i really cannot tahan, go down again later. but i dont understand her context of unbearable pain.
i told her my threshold is very high.. but she insists that i have to be wincing in pain, cannot walk properly.. i told her yah im' like that.. den she say nononono it must be more unbearable. so ok lor.
anyway KKH hotline really lousy. and my gynae is totally uncontactable by me. and she took very long to come down. i feel very discouraged already. sian.
