How
I discover myself gets pregnant
My
period in December came as expected, on December 22nd. So the next cycle
was supposedly on January 19th. 2 days late, I checked my urine by
using a pregnancy test. At first, the result was not so clear. It’s one and half –
that “half” actually came from the
blurred ‘T’ line. Ok, I don’t think I’m
pregnant. I put the test on the bathroom’s sink. Later in the afternoon, I
realized that both red lines on ‘C’ and ‘T’ becomes clear… I think I’m pregnant
That
evening, we went over to my in-laws’. I dunno what’s wrong with my stomach. I
think I got diarrhea. Too much fruits or probably too much milk?
The
next morning, I run another test and it turn out negative. But then, I realized
that actually I’ve bought a wrong test. It was ovulation test. My mistake! Took one more round
(obviously it wasn’t based on my 1st urine) but…. Alhamdulillah the result is POSITIVE!!
Yeayyy what a great news!
My
experience in KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital
On
January 24th, I went to Ampang Puteri Hospital. Why Ampang Puteri?
It is because I’ve done several check-up there. And last time I checked with Dr
Norazlin in June 2016; she found out that I actually got cyst on my left ovary
and also fibroids. She guarantees
and told me not to worry as the cyst
is not big and once I got pregnant, the cyst will recover by itself. Really?
Unfortunately
she’s not around, then I met Dr Noor Shaheeran. The doctor has done the normal abdomen
ultrasound but there’s no sign of baby. The cyst is still at 2cm but the
fibroids increased to 3cm this time. Alternatively, we go for other option
through blood test (for BHGC – Human
Chorionic Gonadotropin – detected in some pregnancy tests). The results should
be ready after 2hours, but I’ve waited one whole day just to know am I pregnant
or not. Then later at the late evening, the nurse in-charge told me that the
result reading was too high. They are unable to read it. Whattt?? Too high??? And they ask me to come again on January 27th.
For the record, I paid @RM342.30 for this visit.
During
the next visit, I managed to see Dr Norazlin. She’s done the pelvic ultrasound
(or maybe transvaginal… I’m not sure the medical term for that). Alhamdulillah…
for the 1st time in my life I can see my little tiny baby. He or she was only 4mm big. That’s mean; I’m already 5-6 week pregnant! The fibroid grows on the outside of the uterus. InsyaAllah it won’t affect or harm the
baby. As for this particular visit, I’ve to pay another RM 238.70…
I
don’t think I can afford paying this private hospital, then I’m asking helps
from my brother-in-law who currently doing his houseman-ship at Hospital
Putrajaya or HPJ (a public/government hospital); he only able to slot my ONG
& Endocrine appointments on February 17th and 23rd. hmmmm
Both
government and private clinics are only within 500-600m from my house. But
since the government’s maternal and child health clinic (KKIA) only will
entertain you when you’re at 8-10 weeks of pregnancy; some colleague suggested
me to go to Klinik Famili Assyifa. Two packages available;
Package A : @RM 180 for Pink Book + RM 95
monthly or
Package B : @RM 280 for Pink Book + RM 120
monthly (with 3D/4D/5D scans
and medicines)
What
to do/bring upon registration at KKIA
1) Come at/before 7am; from
Monday to Thursday only
2)
Bring
your IC
3)
Bring
your electricity bills with address (or any proof that telling you are staying nearby that clinic)
4) And… cash of RM1
Since
pregnant…
1) I always hungry
2)
I
took a lot of ice due to body heat. No
heart or chest burn
3)
No
morning sickness, no vomit
4)
Easily

7)

belly, increased in 10cm
9) Milk
intolerance including
Anmum, Dutch Lady and Goat Milk – tend to get diarrhea even for small
consumptions
The
sad story begins
Honestly
I think I was tired. Too much house-chores and travelling. Maybe?
I
had 3x spotting or bleeding on
February 18th. The 1st stain was in the afternoon, and
the 2nd one was around 4pm. When the 3rd time happens,
around 8pm…. I think this must be serious, even though there’s no pain. From my in-laws’, we rushed to
Labor Room at HPJ that night but for early pregnancy, they unable to assist and
asked us to go to Pusat Bersalin Berisiko Rendah (PBBR) at Precinct 8 instead. Treated
by Dr Ili that night, and undergo the heart beat and pelvic ultrasound tests. The
nurse thought she heard 2 hearts beat… probably
twins? And, the size of the sac has been increased to 1.16cm. Still, they cannot identify the reason why I bleedings.
Around
1am, they rushed me back to HPJ by ambulance and I was admitted at ONG wards. It was my 2nd time ridden in an
ambulance and probably my 3rd time admitted to hospitals. It is not
something I can be proud of. But I’m sure at least I can proud with myself when
I managed to face this circumstance alone when my beloved husband have to leave
to Yamaguchi, Japan and his flight
was exactly departs at 8°clock that morning. “Stay strong”… Yeap, I really need that kind of courage.
We’ve
done another ultrasound… and… and… and…
the sac was empty. I can’t stop
myself from crying that day. I felt so depressed. My family in-law came
accompany me, but all I need is my husband,,, L All doctor are mentioning the
same thing “it’s 50-50” until on February
20th, there’s one old lady doctor announced that my baby is gone. I got discharged on the same day.
Complete
miscarriage
During
the following appointment on February 23rd, the ultrasound result
shows that the sac is still at the upper side in the uterus. Will takes more
days before it naturally terminated.
The doctor doesn’t prefer to do the D&C procedure, so do I... when I heard
it may be painful.
A
day later, after 4days of MC; I went to work as usual. We had a farewell party
that day. As one of the Sports Club committee members, I had so many things to
be done. Nothing happened in the morning but later in the evening around 5pm… I
had a very discomfort and slight pain
in the abdomen. So I took a rest, rub with some stomach ointment, and had light
meals before driving home. Before I discovered, the traffic was so damn bad
that day. It was the worst traffic jammed ever. And my stomach gets too pain to
handle. For the first time in my life, I’m crying while driving.
I
thought I was suffered from “bentan” or relapse (?)… so once I
reached home; I took a quick shower and put on some warm clothes + blanket. I
feel so cold, shiver and painful… but still want to watch TV huhu. Until before midnight; suddenly I
thought I was having a heavy period, so I rushed to the bathroom to check but
all I discovered was a palm-size of embryo.
It’s around 8cm long. And… the
process was easy and no bleeding. Then I realize, this is what people called as "contractions".
Honestly,
I don’t know what to do. Hence, I packed ‘it’ in a food container and temporarily
keep in the fridge before send to the HPJ on the next day. The embryo turns
lighter. Done the final ultrasound at PBBR later in the evening (cause I went
shopping first before precede to HPJ without knowing that I already put myself
in danger) and the result is : Complete Miscarriage!
to be continued with the Confinement experiences
