Dear all, i have been reading up posts here coz i have lost my baby girl of 19 weeks on 17 august. didnt have the courage to write it here until today. Here's my story:
To begin with, this wasnt a smooth pregnancy from the beginning as compared to my first one (I have a girl who is 20 month old). I have spotting and bleeding from the beginning and had to take double dosage of the an tai med and injection weekly; was given 1 month of hospitalization leave to bed rest at home as the baby was not stable. Finally everything seems to stabilise after one month resting. Then went to do the OSCAR test and the blood test result was very bad which makes my baby high risk of DS. I was crying when my gynae told me of the result and wants me to decide on CVS and amnio fluid test.
Her advice was to do amnio rather than CVS as prior to that i have bleeding and spotting. We decide to do amnio and went ahead with it after 3 weeks of waiting.
The day after the amnio test was done while i was on my way home, i feel a gush of liquid coming out. And when i came home i feel the gush of liquid again but then after that nothing at all so i tot it was ok. Until the next morning i feel the liquid again and i was totally freak out and hubby immediately sent me to TMC to see my gynae.
And after i told my gynae wat happen she look really worried and it was confirmed after she did the scan. I am leaking amnio fluid and there wasnt much fluid left and the baby is not in a very good condition and i have to be admitted immediately. the news came as a shock to me and i couldnt believe my ears when she said that and i just teared non-stop.
Was admitted on 26 jul and had to be on strict bed rest, double dosage of med and daily injection.. it was a tough time but i manage to pull thru with the love and support of my hubby and also my baby who is kicking me everyday like telling mummy to jia you and she will fight the battle with me. Finally after 9 long days my condition improved and the fluid seems to be increasing. I was so happy that i can go home and that baby is doing well.
however just after 3 days, i was having bad cramps and i feel wet again, u/s shows that it seems like the fluid is again leaking and the hole is still there. admitted again and same thing strict bed rest with med and injections.
Its really a tough route as i kept asking myself why the leaking just doesn't stop, the constant fear and uncertainty. After another week of strict bed rest and fighting, finally i am out of the hospital again.
I thought this time everything should be okay, i was told to do bed rest at home until the next review on 20 August. it was that deadly 17 august, i was sleeping and in the middle of the night at about 3, i was woken up by a really bad cramp and i thought i was having tummy ache but the pain was just so unbearable. i kept going to the toilet but couldnt pass motion but the cramp just keep getting worse and worse. before i could wake my hubby up, the last time i went to toilet, suddenly i feel something is forcing out, there is a great force to push something out and before i knew it i delivered my baby in my master toilet alone at 4 plus in the morning. I was in a total state of shock as i witnessed the whole deliver and i saw my baby!!!!! she is suppose to be lying comfortably inside me and now she is lying motionlessly in the toilet bowl. i have to take her out and put in a container and that is went i finally broke down and cry non-stop. i drag my body to my hubby and just broke down and cry nonstop as i was telling him, our bb is gone, our bb is gone... me and my baby lost the battle!
After that its all the rush to hospital, gynae came and the moment i saw my gynae i broke down again coz she knew how hard i have been trying to make this pregnancy works and to save my baby.. i couldnt even say a single word to her but just cry and cry.. then i went for emergency D&C, i am not sure wat happens coz i was in a state of shock and until the procedure is done and they brought my baby for me to see one last time,i was in a total daze.
Me and hubby saw my baby, touch her and feel her for one last time and we bid farewell to her. my hubby manage to take a pict of her while i am tearing away. i manage to squeeze few words out of my mouth, bye bye my little angel and thats all i could say.
eventhough it has been 10 days but the pain is still raw and fresh in my memory. the moment i close my eyes, the delivery of my angel kept on coming back to me.
i am so glad that i found this support group and everytime i read a post, i just couldnt help but tear... there was a few days when i couldnt even tear, my heart just ache like crazy when i think of my little angel.
back to work today as i have exhausted the hospitalization leave of 60 days and my hubby also thinks that coming back to work is way better than me staying home.
i am trying my best to move on for my hubby and my daughter, and for all those who loves and cares for me. Sorry for the long post and hope we can jia you together.
