Today is another big day for me and my family. My baby girl, Yvonne Tan Yee Hann was born today at 8.28pm at Columbia Asia Hospital. She weighs 2.52kg and 44cm height.
Today arrived Columbia Asia Hospital for induced labour around 9am. Then waiting for the staff for arranging my hospital admission procedure. Being checked in to Room 221 here. After that we just wait for the arrival of the doctor. Doctor arrived around 10.45am and put the induced medication into me around 11am. After that, we will just need to wait for the delivery process to happen.
From 11am to 3.20pm, I can still eat like normal and relax like that. But after 3.20pm, i started to feel pain starting, every 3 to 4 minutes the pain is coming. Then my hubby went to inform the midwife there and she checked my cervix is not open yet and baby's head is also not heading really down yet. Advising me to walk walk around the room to help with the cervix opening.
Until 7.15pm something, I found a blood show on my underwear. Quickly informed the midwife there, and helped me to check and said the cervix open 3cm like that. Then asked me to wait again. But the pain is getting stronger and stronger. Plus the blood is getting out more and more. My hubby is so worried and quickly informed the midwife there to come and checked my condition immediately. But they said my cervix also just opened around 4cm like that, only my cervix linings is getting very thin. Then when they found out my blood came out a lot after they checked, only they get nervous and call my doctor to come. Then preparing me to labour room immediately.
On the way to the labour room, I don't remember what has happened, as I feel breathless and I have become unconscious of what's happening around me. I am given the oxygen to inhale and I am also on drip. I am lucky to have my hubby beside me, to keep calling me to look at him and concentrate on what he says. If not, I think I am already fainted and unconscious. I can hear people speaking around me, but I can feel my whole body and soul is already uncontrolled by me. I just knew I keep on having the urge to push and push. My hubby said I really push until my shit also came out before baby coming out. Furthermore, my doctor is not reaching the hospital yet and they keep asking me to hold not to push yet. But I couldn't help to push harder and harder, in the end baby came out before the doctor reach the labour room. Even my placenta came out at the same time as my baby. Finally, my baby has safely arrived this world and I am still too exhausted and dizzy after the process of labour. I am so glad to have my hubby beside me. If not, I wonder if I will still be able get out of the labour room.
The doctor arrived after my baby is out. Then he came to do the stitching job on me. The doctor explained what has happened actually to me after the delivery. The placenta was removed from my uterus before my baby coming out, that's why I am having so many bleeding after my first blood show. Luckily doctor said everything went on smoothly. Baby is healthy and my progress also OK. Thanks God for the blessing of our safety.
From my hubby view for the whole delivery process today, he said it is really a scary experience. He said when he saw lots of blood coming out from me, he really worried that I will have heavy bleeding, he saw the blood coming out is in black and red colour and lots of blood clot too. After that during the delivery process, he said even though my eyes look at him but I didn’t really giving response to him. I just seems like staring at him but give no response to him. That’s why he keep calling me again and again. He also said he saw the baby’s head is coming out halfway, but the midwife there keep asking me to hold on first just because the doctor has not arrived. He even commented to the midwife, my wife is going to faint if you guys asked her to hold any longer. In the end, the midwife said it’s ok we can help to deliver your baby too, then he quickly call me and ask me to push. When the baby is out with the placenta, my hubby saw that the baby inside the ammonia sac is not moving at all and her body is like in purple colour. He started to feel worried, and keep on asking the midwife there, why the baby body is in purple colour one. They just said it is normal. Then don’t know what they do with the baby, finally the baby cries. Thanks god. Then they applied oxygen to my baby for a while before bathing her.
So this is what happening during my delivery day. Really thanks God we survive this.
Placental abruption (abruptio placentae) is an uncommon yet serious complication of pregnancy. The placenta develops in the uterus during pregnancy. It attaches to the wall of the uterus and supplies the baby with nutrients and oxygen.
Placental abruption occurs when the placenta partly or completely separates from the inner wall of the uterus before delivery. This can decrease or block the baby's supply of oxygen and nutrients and cause heavy bleeding in the mother.
