Day 3: Delivery Suite/High Dependency Unit
Yes, I'm still warded. But yesterday evening they moved me to the 3rd floor ward which is the Delivery Suite or the High Dependency Unit. I like this room better because it has only one bed and they let my hubby stay for the night.
They had to move me because they are still not satisfied with the CTG results. They said my baby's CTG was flat & does not show much activities. So they were worried that the baby might not have enough nutrients & his nuerological system might not have developed properly yet.
Later in the morning, about 3am, a consultant (higher ranking than docs, i think) came and check my ultrasound. He was happy that the baby is healthy & all organs are functioning well. So he said, I might be delivering this baby soon because the baby seems like he can survive better outside than inside my womb, coz with preeclampsia, it will never get better until the placenta is out.
If the baby is born now, he have to stay in the hospital for another few weeks until the baby is 37 weeks. So I have to come everyday to pump my milk.
Today, I have an appoitment with a paed, to show me how the premie babies were taken care of and to explain to me about how to deal with premie babies. I also have to take another jab of steroids to mature the baby's lungs. I had one jab yesterday and it really hurts a lot! Although the midwives said I was so brave coz I didnt even shout or yelp, but I was all teary eyed. Thankfully hubby was beside me so I could squeeze his hand so hard to release my pain. I even cried for another 5 minutes after the shot coz it still felt so stingy...
They also have to take a good ml of my blood everyday. It doesnt hurt really, but it does hurt when they couldnt find my veins (which is always the case). And at midnight yesterday, they had to dripped me & put me on an oxygen mask because they said the baby might not have sufficient supply of oxygen & nutrients coming from me. Oh, poor baby!
I don't mind all the pains I've been dealing with as long as baby Adel is healthy....takperla, this is the challenge Allah has put me through...and I have to deal it dengan redha...
