Hi everyone,
Have to say I won't be in this journey with u ladies.
Had a natural MC. Still in distaught. Went TTSH A&E only to be sent to KKH via ambulance cos I was in bad cramps and bleeding.
Was near 6 wks pregnant when this happened and according to the doctors in KKH, was carrying twins.
Just wondering where did I mess up? My breasts were full and slightly pulling in the ovary and 5 test kits showed +ve early this mth. Then came 21st, that morning just don't feel "pregnant" and my breasts somehow don't feel that full. Then 22nd, very funny feeling of cramps which is very different from the usual "twitching" and "pulling" of the womb area.
23rd, start to bleed and somehow panic overrides me and rush myself to TTSH since its near my hse. Only to know they have to transfer me to KKH via ambulance. Make matter worse, my husband was in a biz trip in China and scheduled to return on 24th.
Bk in the KKH A&E, the male dr was nice enough but my urine test showed -ve and both of us had a question mark over our face. How can that be possible. 5 test kits, 4 different brands all taken on different days and time shown +ve in early july. And with IV drip, blood test done, only to find myself "mensturating"?? Scan done but strange enough nothing in my womb. Still, the blood test done can only find out in 3 hours time which should be back ard mn, so no medicine or anything, can only crawl bk home. Still bleeding and severe cramps throughout the night. Can't sleep as so worrying and lotsa questions to myself and waiting with great anticipation for my HCG blood test.
Next morning 24th, 8am nurses called and said my HCG is 5.8, gotta go bk KKH to do another blood test on 28th. Damn..another bloody 4 days wait.
Then husband reached SG and was worried. He's quite pissed that nothing was given to help me. Ended up a 2nd visit to KKH A&E. Had to do a US pelvic scan which took 30 mins and I never cried so much in pain. Sonographer saw 2 "jackets" left behind by my fertilized egg but no babies anywhere. This 2nd dr in the A&E was completely cold and expression-less. Just told me straight in my face...U r having miscarriage now..so what to do? U still need to wait till 28th what. Only upon request from my husband to do something, then she gave me some folic acid, progestrone pills and an hormone injection.
Then on 26th and 27th, passed out my little babies on 2 occasions. Liver like with white "nerves" like membrane. Pain and bleeding ceased from 26th onwards. Guess this is what called a "natural" miscarriage
Yesterday finally 28th. Blood test already showed that my HCG went back to normal non-pregnant stage. No bleed or cramp but lots of heartaches. Then gotta face the SAME female dr who attended to me in my 2nd A&E visit. She can still smile and said "oh..i'm sorry" like she had to say it for the sake of saying and can anyone imagine she showed me and my husband BOOBS in the consultation room itself? Here, I am feeling sooo upset and she just flipped over her long hair and suddenly in the midst of consultation, we saw her bra so damn clearly. Her V neck sweater opening are like way below her boobs and her ivory/ black satin bra are like so obvious for us to see. Think win toto also not that lucky to get her. So tempted to really give her a peace of my mind and ask her to change to appropriate dressing. A MS woman and her husband are not interested to see her boobs.
And I gotta go bk KKH for another appointment review in 2 months time and its already stressful to know I MAY get a chance to see that unprofessional dr.
Hope to ask ard if anybody ceased the bleeding and cramp after 5 days? And if anybody know here of a good gynae who is good in high risk pregnancy as I seriously don't want to go bk to KKH, particularly that female dr. Don't mind private but seems that KKH is still the best in its facilities for high risk?
And all mothers-to-be, please seek immediate attention once u have instincts that something's not right or u have any bleeding or cramps out of the usual "normal" pregnancy symptoms.
I also feel very xin ku when i wear pants now, but i think so fast cannot be the baby right... think it's just me growing FAT oops! Boo.
