Hi tyann,
I delivered at TMC, gynae Joycelyn Wong.
My hubby was with the baby the moment after she was delivered. As it was our first time seeing a newborn, we expected our baby to be quite bloody upon arrival. However, there wasn't much blood. Just alot of white mucus.
My hubby had video-ed the weighing and measuring of our baby. When we watched the video again, we started to notice the blood smudges on the towel that covered the right side of my baby's head. The cut is on the right side of my baby's head.
I bet the nurses had thought the blood was from my womb and did not suspect anything wrong. They did not do the apgar test in front of my hubby.
I did hold my baby soon after but i definitely did not check my baby to see if anything was wrong cause I could hardly move under epidural!
Yup, i had taken the pains to be extra extra careful with my pregnancy. Eating only healthy food, keeping away from harmful chemicals, surrounded my tummy with lotsa pillows hoping my baby would be comfortable. I even relocated my pet cat to my in laws for fear anything would happen to my unborn child.
To think something did happen to her after all my efforts, care and caution. It is extremely saddening.
Yet still, after all my complains, i'd like to think we're lucky nothing worser happened.
Some professionals just lacks diligence the longer they are in their practice. =(
