my first VE experience

wah.....sudah kene VE!

dh berasalin ke????

mmg tak laaaaa... -____-

 

eh jap jap

what is VE, u asked?

its Vaginal Examination

pendek kata, kene seluk kt va jay jay untuk cek bukaan serviks

ade paham?

 

well, this happened last night

gini ceritanya

dh 3 hari (since tuesday yg rasa sakit tu) I perasan, baby mcm kurang gerak

usually, by 3 or 4pm, fetal movement chart tu boleh setel

tp ni nk dekat maghrib, baru dlm 5 or 6 jeee

 

plus rasa mengeras and tightening kt area abdomen tu

comes and go

I couldn't really be bothered to time it laa

sbb mmg tak regular pon

so I just assume its Braxton Hicks

 

tp bila dh 3 hari berturut, I jadi risau la jugakkan

lagi pulak bile I google up,

ade kes yg baby kurang gerak sbb tali pusat dh terbelit

so kene emergency c-sect sbb takut baby lemas

oh risau nyeeeeee

 

so I raised my concern tu hubs,

dia lagi la risau

asik la tanya, anak kite ade gerak takkk

last², we decided to go to the hospital je

 

so smlm, after maghrib, kami terus ke HSI

first time ni, agak kompius tak tau nk gi Emergency Room or Dewan Bersalin

hubs rang his friend and asked, dia kata gi Dewan Bersalin terus

so ke sana la kami

he dropped me, and parked the car

 

naik tingkat 4

went to PAC (Patient Assessment Center)

terang serba sikit my concern to the nurse,

then disuruh buka panties and lie on bed no. 3

 

as expected, a houseman yg attend I

as the nurse's said, 'kt sini, dato' mmg letak houseman je kak'

houseman pon houseman laaa

diorang pon nak blaja gak kan

tapi, tapi....saya malu laaaaaa

sbb tau² diorang ni around my age

ahhh..belasah je lah

 

so he asked me this and that

sakit mcm mane, sejak bile, so on and so forth,

checked my blood pressure - 145/93! erk?!

tp dia senyap, I pon senyap je

 

next, wat CTG, to check baby's heart rate

dekat 20 minit jugak ah terlentang gitu

boring! dh la pinggang i ni mmg sedia ade skt

so tgh² tu, I gerak² la kan

nk selesakan pinggang ni

 

tapi..tiap kali i gerak, CTG device yg kt perut i ni pon cam teralih

so kekejap kang, sayup je dgr heart beat

kang tetibe kuat pulak

saspen je diorg...huhuhuhu

 

and based on the CTG result,

semua nmpak OK shj

nothing to worry about

baby's doing just fine

takde tanda² yg pelik ke ape

 

setel tu, tetibe the doc said nk wat VE!

oh nooooo....I selalu disogok dgn org kata VE tu sakit!

siap tanya doc, perlu ke VE?

he said yes, since I've been having pains for 3 days

takut mmg dh in labour

 

mak redhaaaa

dh la doc muda...malu laaa saya!!!!

but syukur, he never made it awkward at all

 

dgn ditemani nurse,

he sat by the bed

dia selak kain pink tu,

tgk part tu kejap to make sure of where to probe,

toleh ke tepi, and......seluk!

sakit? Alhamdulillah, to me, tak sakit pon....

cuma rasa cam tak selesa je laaa

sbb dia pakai glove and ade lubricant kan

so cam licin je laaa

takdela rase pedih kene geser ke ape

 

bile dh masuk tu, dia gerak² jari sikit

nk cari bukaan kot

tak lama pon

dlm 10-15 seconds gitu

that's it

 

and the result?

masih tertutup ye kawan².... -______-

 

terus dia kata dh boleh salin baju

and tunggu kt luar

means dh boleh balik

 

while I was waiting outside

I dah siap boleh ulang alik gi toilet and jumpe my hubs

tetibe i dipanggil semula

coz nk check BP again

sbb reading awal tadi quite high

 

so baring semula kt bed 3,

nurse suruh relax jap, sbb katanya maybe td reading tinggi sbb i risau... -____-

10 minutes later, doc came,

and checked my BP

I swear he pumped that thing 3 kali ok! (dia pakai yg manual tu...sbb lebih accurate kan)

bersungguh gile mcm tak caya my BP rate

as expected, BP masih di tahap tinggi dr biasa

 

berulang kali dia tanye i ade pening tak

ade mual tak, ade sesak nafas tak

i gelak² ckp mmg takde

dlm hati dh berkata, ni kalau betol i have the symptoms, kompem kene masuk wad

tp mmg takde...I felt totally fine

cume skt² kt area perut and pinggang tu je

 

so, again, I was asked to wait outside,

while he prepared the report

10 minutes later, report siap,

gi ER, bayar 5 ringgit

dan balik...

 

Alhamdulillah

nothing to worry about

semuanya ok je

cuma dipesan,kalau sakit makin teruk or baby masih kurg gerak,

dtg semula

 

itu lah ceritanya

part of me agak kecewa sbb dh sakit² manja tp masih belum ade tanda nk bersalin

tp part of me juga relieved, sbb semuanya masih OK

at least, dh ade experience la pergi spital

so nnt kalau dh sakit betol² nk bersalin,

takdela hubs or I gelabah tak tau nk gi mana kn

sbb dh tau area tu...

 

I really hoped I will get to experience a smooth sailing labor

tp rezeki masing² kan

suke bace experience mommies lain

pastu sebak sendiri smpai menjejes air mata bile diorg minta maaf ngan their moms and husband

sumpah sayu gile bile baca part tu

I kept on reminding myself to spare some time for that moment bile my time comes nnt

pastu happy sendiri mcm diri sendiri yg dh beranak

mcm sendiri yg dh dpt anak....

 

oh tak sabar nk cium bau baby....

wangi........

 

hai lah anak....

bila kah kamu mahu keluar?
