Just when I was over confidence that I can have a smooth pregnancy, god has arranged something very special for me. I suffer from food poisoning, severe stomach pain, follow by vomit everything I ate, then diarrhea non-stop ( have to wear adult diapers ). I was admitted to Hospital Besar KL at 6pm on 20 Nov 2014 when having severe stomachache.
20 Nov - 1 Dec 2014
Severe stomach pain
Vomit non-stop, no joke, its like vomit what I eat & drink, vomit minimum 3 times every hour
Diagnose with Acute Gastroenteritis ( ACE ), then Urine Tract Infection, Asymptomatic Bacteria..& etc.
Babies weight drop as I typically did not manage to eat anything......what I ate, comes out very fast including vitamin & medication
Couldn't sleep during this period, was really suffering..
1 Dec 2014
Night 10pm, my water broke, hubby co-incidentally arrived 10 minutes before...hubby said it was raining, it seems like babies wanted to come out when daddy around.
Emergency cesarean mid night 2 Dec 2014
Babies came out on mid night
4 Dec 2014: I was discharged but babies stay as they are both pre-mature babies with only 35 weeks. Boy 1.6 kg, Girl 1.7 kg. Doc said weight will drop after they pass motion & gain back eventually
My body very weak, suffer from oral candidiasis, no breast milk, stress
8 Dec 2014: First breast milk: colostrum came - really thanks to my confinement lady whom supported me
17 Dec 2014: Re-admit to hospital to learn how to take care of babies & help them gain weight till 1.8 kg before they can discharge.
Learnt how to feed, how to shower baby, how to massage baby, how to perform CPR during emergency & etc.
18 Dec 2014: Boy 1.74 kg, Girl 1.72 kg
19 Dec 2014: Boy 1.73 kg, Girl 1.765 kg
20 Dec 2014: Boy 1.825 kg, Girl 1.745 kg
21 Dec 2014: Boy 1.86 kg, Girl 1.77 kg
22 Dec 2014: Boy 1.915 kg, Girl 1.895 kg
Very very tired to feed the two every 2 hours, taking care of twins really challenging.
22 Dec 2014: My twins discharge......my motherhood journey continues...
If ever you success in pregnant, my piece of advice:
1. Have to really really take good care & be careful on what you eat - I just make a mistake to drink outside on a unfamiliar place & it leads me to 12 days in hospital.
2. Register as a patient in government hospital, keep the "Pink Book". It is very important, as we don't know if we were to deliver early on pre-mature babies, as private hospital cost will be a bomb if babies need to stay at neonatal intensive care unit.
I remember few years back, I was looking at Christmas tree decorated outside doctor's room, while waiting for my turn to see doctor, to seek advise on what's next after the failed IVF. I didn't know what is going to happen ahead of me, whether how many round of IVF I have to go thru b4 I can get pregnant, today again, Christmas is coming, I have no Christmas tree at home, but I have twins....
The feeling is mixed - really mixed, I am indeed blessed & happy to have my twins safely deliver and came back, but on the other hand I am worry of their health & its going to be ups & downs.....
Things can never be perfect, I shall just live in presence in enjoy everyday with what I have, and stay positive...
Life is always full of unexpected despite how much we plan. Miracle can always happen.
