Ladies, jus to update. I was so stress up in the office yesterday that I cried couple of times. So today went to see gynae again n I broke down again. Guess my gynae felt bad that she didn't listen to me on last week visit that she waived the urgent appt fees n no charged at all. She can't give me direct 5 weeks of hl as no medical justification. I'm referred now to psychiatrist at gleneagle on Monday. But for the rest of this week I'm given hl from her.
Hopefully I can sleep better now. I have not been sleeping well or can't even sleep at all at night.
I lost another 200grms over last week. Today no bb scan because I chose not to since last week jus scan.

hi guys, thought i'd log on today as i'm in less pain. as you guys know, i went in for an emergency c-section last wednesday.. was discharged on sunday.
it wasn't an ideal delivery, i lost a lot of blood.. was given 4 pints during the whole process. the uterus had some problems contracting fully which resulted in a constant flow of blood. i went in around noon and was only done after 7 hours as they wheeled me to the angiography dept to stop each and every atery that was flowing into the uterus to stop the bleeding.
but i survived! my boys are in NICU and the Step Down Unit right now..they're breathing on their own and fine.
It's a bit heartbreaking not being able to bring your babies home and i find myself breaking down a few times a day just thinking of them. all i can do is pump my breast milk and bring it to the hospital..
well that's it, hope i didn't scare anyone with the story.

Spiffy, u r a brave mummy n I'm sure ur boys will b as brave n strong willed as u! In e meanwhile, pls rest well to recover completely as am sure the boys are definitely going to keep u busy when they go home. 1 boy is quite handful n to think u hv 2...u shld hv a lots of 'fun' then....
Spiffy, so great to read your post. Now we all can be relieved. Your babies and u are fighter n winner. 
what is their weight now? When dr said they can go home?
Guess since u also went through such trauma ordeal take this time to take care of yourself ok. Let's the professional take care of your precious babies now then when they can go home u can fully take care of them
cheer up my friend..

Ladies, thanks for the concern for me too. It is not easy for me to take unpaid leave. First I have to consume all my leave then with valid reason I have to get approval from Director. That time I need to take 2 weeks to take care of my hubby after brain surgery n my manager still aske me not to take it because taking unpaid in my company will affect one appraisal very badly. N I def need my income too. So let's see how the psychiatrist can help me go through this.
Btw ladies, who has lactose intolerance ah? What is the calcium tabs brand to take?

Spiffy,
good to hear from u... Understand how u feel abt ur babies... Dun stress urself... Do wat u can... Take as much rest as u can now n when ur babies r home u will have ur hands full.
Vi4n,
I know how it's like in 3rd trimester... Ur gynae definitely can't give u 5 wks hl but can't she give u like week by week basis which means u have to go see her every week?

the pubis bone gaps will close up by themselves over time. according to my gynae, some of her patients took a month, some 3, some a year. unfortunately, there is nothing much i or she can do, except to avoid activities tt cause discomfort and perhaps go for physiotherapy. i put on a girdle at the hip area to restrict my movement, but i felt its very uncomfortable for bb when i bf him so sometimes i din wear. btw, it is called "Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction" if you want to read more as it could also happen to preg woman
hee, i told myself everyday i must at least be able to walk without aid, get up/down the bed myself so tt i could take care of my boy alone after confinement. i was lucky tt hb was able to take 3 weeks leave during my confinement, else i really dunno how to survive thru my confinement. after i tasted my share of bitterness (my preg was quite smooth thruout), i told myself i shall taste the sweetness of it now... kekeke (i talk to myself a lot)
tks for all ur concern, i will take good care of myself, you too!

Vi4n,
meantime try not to think abt work... Take one day at a time n rest... Enjoy the rest of the wk ya
despondent,
usually can't give hl for such a long stretch... Usually a week or two at a time... For my gynae, he was only more generous towards the last month of my pregnancy or maybe he could see that I was really stressed out or tired during the last month n I was having difficulty walking n climbing stairs.

Vi4n,
Just take a step at a time. If you really need time to rest, just take leave. No doubt it may affect your appraisal but at this point of time if taking leave is impt, just do it. Who knows you may have better job offers in future?
Stress is very bad for expecting mothers. It may retard bb growth. Do what is best for now.
Spiffy,
Nice to hear from you. It must be really tough last wk to endure all these. I am glad both you and bbs are doing well. Do rest alot and recover so that you can take good care of you littles ones when they come home.

Wanna ask a silly question here. Can preggie women take iced water or ice cream in 1st trimester? I got a strong craving for ice-cream recently but my db doesn't allow me to eat. According to tcm, you are supposed to keep your womb warm before conceiving and probably during the 1st few months of pregnancy. But based on western medicine, it doesn't really matter whether you take cold food. Any of you took cold food in 1st trimester?
Bing,
I did take cold water, soft drinks, ice cream (only once or twice), fruits taken out from fridge. I think I'm eating all those so- called forbidden food but in small amounts. I juz feel that if it helps you to eat better, why not. But of coz eat in moderation. I try to restrict myself to one cold drink each day but sometimes hard coz d weather is horrible nowadays.
