Hey there!

Haven't been dusting my blog for a while now.

Yeap! There're definitely a lot of updates in my life right now. Obviously, I'm a mom (see previous post).  Busier now that I have to divide my attention to another little human but I must say, I'm proud and lucky to have him in my life.

He's soon to be in the terrible two phase now but I hope not to jinx it, he's a very good boy. He listens well albeit at times the tantrum comes.

Seriously, the parenting talk is real. I guess it's the age where you're surrounded by married couple, young parents, nieces, nephews - all these made you learn to socialise and talked about being an aunt or uncle or as a parent... I remember when I became an aunt to my niece, I can't stop talking about her. She's like the most adorable thing in the planet! I think I'm just in love with children.

Which is why I don't understand how could people abuse them? Urghhh! I'm so paranoid to open up links nowadays on social media that talks about babysitter whom abuse babies. Punching babies like they're punch bag, suffocating babies, tying up babies, the list goes on and it's just so heartbreaking and eerie!

YOU PEOPLE DESERVE TO GET ABUSED BACK.

Yeah, quote me for my cruelty on YOUR cruel doing. What on earth is wrong with you! Don't take in babies if you don't like babies. Don't be a babysitter or caretaker in the daycare if you think babies/children are annoying.

GET YOURSELF CHECKED PLEASE. YOUR MENTALITY. 

Hey. Us parents don't get children like just a snap of finger. These children are part of us for 9 months. It's a battle of life and death to get them to the world! AND WE PAY YOU MONEY TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR CHILDREN.

Sorry, that I got worked up. But seriously! One of the news back then was so creepy. A babysitter killed a baby by hitting on the baby's head, the baby was just 3 months old. He died eventually and the babysitter kept his body in the freezer. Then reported that the baby was kidnapped. WHAT? And then she went on posting on social media to look for new baby to be take care of. Where is the conscience in her?

I feel so weak in my knees every time this kind of article came by my feed. I can't believe there's this kind of people living amongst us. Children are to be protected, not hurt. They couldn't defend themselves like us adult could. They're way weaker than us. Babies for example, couldn't even deliver a simple message that they had soiled their diapers. I wish these people who abuse babies or children one day receive their karma. Let them be dumb and paralyzed and good people would take care of them. So they would know how it is to be abused. To be kicked in the stomach. To be hit in the head to keep them asleep. These kind of people really made me wanna curse.

URGHHH! 

Sorry, it was supposed to be an update of my life right now but I just couldn't get these stories out of my mind. I need to rant somewhere.

Our bundle of joy

So so so busy lately as we've entered into parenthood.

Being a first time mother, I'm easily emotional when it comes to motherhood and my baby. For this entry, I'd like to blog about my experience in giving birth from hospital selection till the birth of our baby, Jacob.

Brace yourself, it's a long post.

As soon as we know that I'm pregnant through home kit test, we confirmed it by getting it checked at the nearest hospital, Columbia Asia Setapak. I was 5 weeks pregnant according to the scan. At that time, we couldn't see the typical baby image from ultrascan but instead, just a sac with a black dot. Thus, we named it Chickpea. Chickpea has became the nickname of our unborn baby at that time reason why is because it was the size of a pea at the first ultrascan and it's rooster zodiac for the Chinese calendar this year.

Getting more and more excited as our next appointment with Dr. Sudha is scheduled monthly as we got to see from the scan the progress of our little baby and knowing that he's healthy. Dr Sudha's words were really comforting as we approach her with many first time parents questions. You know, being extra sensitive to whatever that happens in my body. Even the slightest discomfort. But CAH being a private hospital, the bill was costly per visit. It was range from RM180~RM2xx depending whether there is medicine or not.

As I got into 3 months pregnancy and off the radar from Chinese pregnancy taboo, I began to open up to my brother and sister in law who had experience with kids of their own. SIL advised us to get a pink book from the government clinic which is beneficial to our pocket in the future since their charges is almost free. She also mentioned that in future, children vaccination is free from government bodies if we have that pink book.

Immediately, we get me registered at our nearest KKIA and started monthly checkup there. Meantime, we're still going to CAH because we wanted to see baby's progress through the ultrascan there. Where as KKIA only scans baby if there's complication otherwise on first time and on 28th week pregnancy checkup.

Back and forth every month for checkups at both places and on my 31st week, KKIA discovered I may have PIH (Pregnancy induced hypertension) because my blood pressure shot up to 15x and 16x for repeated reading. I was sent to the hospital straightaway and got admitted to further monitor my blood pressure. The stay was okay, I actually got to listen and watch other mom's experience on pre and post delivery. It was an experience.

I was told to monitor my blood pressure every alternate day and to go straight to hospital if my blood pressure rise up to 140/90. Which luckily, it was controlled, though it was high once a while but lucky enough, I wasn't put into any medication. My next checkup at the hospital with the specialist suggested to deliver (induce) by 38th week because they were worried there may be complication. Which both of us oppose of the idea and insisted to deliver on 40th week since we got advice from other doctor that it's safe to deliver at 40th week if I wasn't on medication. In the end, they let us off but only to have us deliver right on the dot, 40th week itself. Not a day less. PFFT.

I was in dilemma at that moment because on private hospital, my EDD is one week later than the date given by government clinic. Oh well. Baby is considered full term on 37th week but as I read, their lungs are not fully developed. So I still think it's best to let the baby stay in the womb longer as possible.

Fast forward to 40th week, since we have decided to go for government hospital to deliver, I was admitted to hospital on letter a day before my due date. I was monitored and that evening when they check for dilation, I was at 1cm. I was glad when the doctor told me IF the opening goes up to 3cm, then I don't have to get induced.

The next morning at 7am, I got checked again. It was still 1cm. Boo. So they have to induce by inserting some medication into the vagina. :x Bad thing about government hospital is that you don't get to choose your doctor. The medication was inserted by a male doctor, overseen by a female nurse/doctor. 30 minutes later, I feel the effect.

My lower abdomen was having a bad cramp. At 2 noon, I was told that I could enter the labour room when it's available. Excited yet nervous, I told my hubby to come over. Poor him, waited for 5 hours since the room only available at 7pm. There wasn't much empty room as there were too many people also delivering that day and I'll have to be placed at a specific room because of PIH. They were worried if there may be any complications. The cramp was getting worse. I thought I could deliver but it was only 6cm opening.

Earlier before the contraction worsen...The bp measures 160/115 .. yikes.

Then they first rip off the amniotic sac to hasten the process of dilation. It feels as though I was peeing. The water was warm. I was given gas mask and pain killer jab at the butt. Honestly, the mask didnt help at all. The cramp that came every few minutes hurts. I feel like I needed to poop every now and then and that poop is so huge that I couldn't just let go. (That's really how it feels for me)

So this goes on and I was so drowsy from the pain killer, I actually nap when the contraction isn't that bad. When dilation was 8cm, I couldn't stand it. I told the nurse I will try to "poop" although she told me not to force it. At that time, I just want to get it over and done with. Finally at 9~10pm I was told that the opening is 9cm already and we're ready to push. I called my hubby up since he went out for late dinner. He made it in time to accompany me with the push.

Here begin the delivery process.

I was told to take a deep breath and push. So I did. But my throat was so dry, I couldn't force much energy. I wasn't given any water because the nurse afraid I may have to go for c-sec. So as a reminder, don't forget to drink plenty of water! So I continued to push with all my might. Then they finally see the crown of the baby. Nurse cut a little on my skin to assist the opening and to avoid random tear from the push. I could feel the cut but the mind was too focus on delivering the baby, I couldn't care less.

Finally after few minutes, baby was out at 10:57pm. He was placed straightaway on my chest and that beady eyes of his stare right at me. He didn't cry when he was at my chest. Our little angel was just too cute that the image sticks right in my head until now. (2months later as I wrote this line). While he was taken to clean up, the nurse told me to push one more time to deliver the placenta. It was my first time looking at it and it was HUGE. bigger than a baby!

Then the sewing happens. Here's another interesting story. The doctor who sew me up was a new doctor. This was her first delivery. (Glad that only female staff were in the room that night). Hence, this is the first time she stitch up post delivery. What choice do I have. She was assisted by an experienced staff nurse at least who happens to be a mother of my schoolmate. During the process, it was okay until I overheard, "Alamak, ni terjarak sikit" (Oh dear, this spaced a little further) , the stitches. It hurts a little especially when they stitch on the skin.

So there you have it! My story of delivery. It wasn't that bad and it's all worth it. It wasn't scary at all, in fact, it's really exciting to meet the little one. AND, the total cost for delivering at government hospital for me was.... RM 88 ! TOTAL! for normal delivery.

Here's some of our little angel at age 0.

That night itself back at ward

How my day was ruined by Lazada Express Shipping

I've been told that "you don't need to over buy newborn diapers, they'll grow out of it very fast". Guess that's not the case for my baby. He's just burning out the diapers too soon. Upon one week here in the confinement centre, he has burn 48 diapers. Another week here, he has burn another 50 plus more?

I have made an order on 9th October to order a pack of diapers which is estimated to delivered by 11-14th October. I've got to know that the item has been shipped on 9th. I was delighted. I thought it could made it by 11th at least since it's already shipped. Like the previous order I made to them, I got my item delivered to me within 2 days. Once it says it's shipped, I got my item in less than 2 days! To my disappointment as I clicked into the tracking, it's not available yet. That was on the 9th at 6pm. Fine, gave it another day. I tried on the 10th, it's still not available. Panicked.

I've decided to make another order on 11th. (wasted 2 days, I know) This time, I ordered the same diapers. NB diapers. This time, I made sure I pay extra for the same day shipping which cost me additional RM7 and it's said to be able to delivered on 11th. I trusted that. What's more, it's sold by lazada themselves, so the shop name says.

Waited whole day for the update, and finally to be able to get one at 3pm. The update was that the item has been shipped and the courier is by Ninja Van. Having dealt with Ninja Van before, I knew that they would send an sms to the customer upon sending the parcel to them. Which I like, since it's messaging. I waited almost whole day till 6pm. Which I assume is the standard working hours. No messages. My item still on "Delivery Pending" status.

Panicked again, I went to Lazada website. My order has update. (I wasn't informed). My delivery date was changed to 12th instead!

Alright now, which part of that spells "Same day delivery" then.

So I tried to contact Lazada. (Their Live chat in their website is useless by the way. The button is not functioning. Nothing happens when I clicked on it). A customer care picked up and I voiced my concern.

He apologies and contacted Ninja Van which they later reply to his email (I assume since he said he will email them) that they could not do the delivery on the same day due to high parcel traffic. Lazada would refund to me the monies I paid for express delivery instead.

Money aside, which I don't mind to pay, I REALLY NEED THOSE DIAPERS URGENTLY. Hence, why I opt for express shipping! I don't care if I have to pay RM10 for express shipping. I'm already DESPERATE. Of course, it's Lazada's responsibility to resolve this matter since I made the payment already and did not get the service. But now that I think about it, what would happen if I did not make a complain? My shipping date got changed just like that. Without any information to their customer AT ALL. So if I decided to keep quiet about it, they would too? And take my "Express shipping" cost quietly? That's so unethical.

Now my baby is down to 2 pcs of diapers left for the rest of the day. What should I do? Lazada, you've disappointed me.

Random thought again

With baby bound to say "Hello, world" anytime soon, I randomly thought about my mom. Not that I couldn't just announce to her that I'm pregnant, I couldn't introduce her grandchild to her.

Many would say, "why don't you let your mom be the confinement lady?" or "Why don't you let your mom be the babysitter?". Whether it's my mom or mother in law, I don't want to count on them even if they're willing to. They have worked hard to brought us up. It's time for them to rest. They can play with the grandchild all they want. Once a while, they can help to watch over the baby but not as a full time babysitter. For this, I'm glad my husband agree with the idea.

I guess I've just watched too many drama where by when the daughter in law is pregnant, she's treated as the queen at home. Lucky for me, this doesn't happen at home, or else, I'd rather move out soon. Mother in law still allows me to do certain chores to the fact that I sometimes forgotten that I am pregnant. Glad that I am still able to help out around the house, I pity seeing my mother in law having to do all the chores by herself. She could have asked for help from her children. I would help if I'm allowed to. That's how I've been brought up.

My mom usually asks us for help. Wash the toilet, help with cooking, wash clothes, sweep, mop, wipe this and that, clean our own rooms. I guess that's how she has trained us to be independent and dependent for their family later on. With the same mentality, I'll be gladly pass on this mentality. It's not a child abuse in my opinion. It's just training the kids to be independent and values the hard work that our parents had worked for us.

Nevertheless, I understand where my mother in law is coming from. She didn't want to trouble her children with the chores. But I really hope she would distribute the chores load to us so that she could get the rest she deserved at this age of hers. She really did get thinner as mentioned by my husband's aunt.

Concerns over decision

If you read my previous post, I was warded one night due to sudden increase of my blood pressure. Ever since then, I got biweekly appointment with doctor to review on my blood pressure that I would monitor at home every 2 days with BP device.

So here's my concern. Early this month, on my follow up appointment with doctor at HKL, I was advice to deliver by 38 weeks whether or not the baby is ready - that means I'm going to be induced. Or maybe c-section I guess?

I've been reading so far about mothers getting induced on 37/38 weeks due to hypertension. But all of them already in pre-eclampsia stages or constantly high on BP. So far I've been measuring at home and doctor's review, I was on acceptable range. 11x/ 6x ~ 130/7x.

I did ask for advise from the private hospital doctor that I go by appointment and she says that I need to monitor my BP and also if I'm not on medication, I'm alright to deliver by 40 weeks.

What actually makes me more worry is that as I am going for both places, private and government, I have two different EDD, difference of a week, with government being earlier than private's.

Short background story is that, I went for early check up at the private first when I was 5 weeks pregnant and government's at 3 months pregnant. I'm just worried that the scan when I was on first time visit at the government clinic causes the different date as I heard baby measurement varies when it is scan much later.

So back to my concern. Today I have another check up / follow up at HKL again. This time, a different doctor consults me.  I voice my concern over the 38 weeks delivery and she too initially agrees that if I'm not on medication, I can usually deliver at 30 weeks. Although of course as I was briefed by the previous doctor, the baby is already considered full term on 37 weeks onwards. I insisted on delivering on 40 weeks after I also double checked with the doctor back in the clinic.

However, the doctor today, told me that she cannot overrule the previous doctor's plan because he's her senior. (like what? Your senior is always right?)

My heart breaks each time she insisted for me to deliver at 38 weeks because I may have complications and risk that I may got pre-eclampsia and soon have fitting when it's nearer to the D date. Then that may put both baby and I at risk. While I do understand that, but I want the baby to come naturally, not induced, not c-sec if there's other options that I may go for.

I went with Jon today. Both of us agreed to take the risk. Initially, she told us that we need to sign a paper of agreement that the patient took the responsibility to deliver at 40 week. She say she'll need to get her senior concern and prepare a a letter, that's why we were asked to wait out of the room. After we were called back into the room, she just mentioned that we'll have to make another appointment at 38 weeks to see the progress, then we will see again what will be the decision then. So no paper were sign that day.

I went on to check what will be the risk if I deliver on early term. Some website says that the baby may not have fully developed brain and there might be risk that the baby will still need to stay in the incubator for some time even when it's deliver on 37/38 weeks. Come on doctor... Latest research already prove that babies developed better when they're 39/40 weeks and best yet when they decided to come out naturally themselves.

In addition, today's scan shows that our baby is measuring slightly behind schedule. All his measurement is one week behind. The more I think the private hospital's measurement is right. But anyway, I intend to deliver at HKL, so I gotta follow the government's EDD. At least by then baby is already on 39 weeks.

I hope I made the right decision as I really feel that I'm alright to continue on the pregnancy until the very last day of the term. Fingers crossed.

Stress as a new mom

Being a new mom got me mixed emotions. At some point, I'm excited that I'm about to have a baby and we'll make a family. The excitement of buying new clothes for baby and seeing the tiny little clothes that could only fit my palm for now can actually fit a human being. That's pretty exciting.

At the same time, it's worrisome also because I can't see the baby yet. I don't know what is happening to the baby. What should I do? Am I doing things wrong? If I move too fast, will the baby feel uncomfortable? How about going pass a speed bump? Will the baby feel stressful? Did I eat enough?
Did I eat well? If I sleep like this, does the baby move because he's uncomfortable?

Many questions replaying in my head everyday.

Then comes the joy of being able to feel baby's kick. Knowing that he's moving well inside. I just hope everything turns out well.

Today I went for my antenatal appointment with the nurse at KKIA. I was told that I didn't count baby's movement correctly. I admit, I misunderstood. It was suppose to be 1 movement count within a moment (like a span of 30 minutes or longer break for the next count). I thought it's per 10 minutes break. Got it now. To play safe, I think I'll just do every hourly count.

Speaking of which, I think baby enjoys this kind of lounge music playing in my office as "sound test" on Wednesdays. He was sleeping (no movement since 9:50am), now (10:33am) actively wriggling. That's exciting to know as well. (Yikes! Add that to the movement count!)

It's pretty difficult to notice once the work kicks in. I could hardly pay attention to his movement when I'm busy, but I hope to do it correctly this time as it's important to find out baby's movement to figure out if anything is wrong with the baby.

Done ranting. Back to work.

Bad news, good news.

I'm in such dilemma now.

So last week I was admitted to hospital due to hypertension symptoms. Though the symptoms wore down eventually with my BP got back to normal, there's still follow up appointments. One of it was this morning.

A sigh of relieve was that last week, I was told that baby was in breech position, where usually by my baby's gestational age it should already be head down position. Doctor said to further observe it two weeks later. Okay. Then another issue was that baby's abdominal circumference measurement was still small, it's 2 weeks behind. It's at borderline okay to be 2 weeks behind but there's still risk. If it's still small in its circumference, they may need to deliver me earlier.

Though I was discharged, I couldn't stop thinking how to correct the baby's position or to increase the AC. All I could do is try to sleep on my left side at most time so that baby may get its nutrition. That's what I read about sleeping position. In addition, I also drank at least 2 glasses of milk every day, hopefully baby can absorb more too.

Not sure if it's because of the sudden increment of milk intake, my stomach can't seem to hold it well. TMI - I frequented to toilet more often.

I think I do have a little bit of lactose intolerant.

Anyway, I've been monitoring my BP so far, it seems normal. The reading were lower than 150/90 at least. At most 13x.

Today was my first appointment at the hospital - gosh, a file is open here and now I have more antenatal visit to go. 

The wait was long. I came in at 8am only to get my turn at 10am. Glad the waiting area has air con.

Anyway. I had a scan today and everything looks better! Chickpea finally turned with head down. No wonder lately I've been feeling pokes nearer to my rib cage and heavier on my lower belly that kinda pressing down on my bladder. Doctor said the AC looks good too, normal range, and I'm on 32nd week preggo.

Here comes the bad news.

Because I have previous record of hypertension symptom, they will have to deliver me early at 38th week to reduce the risk. (My heart broke when I heard of this). It's not like the baby is going to be pre mature, they're considered full term 37 weeks onwards.

It's also not advisable to prescribe me with hypertension medication too because during pregnancy, it's only going to get higher as the weeks get later. Because of that, I may need higher dose.

My question to doctor was, "What if by 38th week and I still don't have the contraction?". Doctor replied, "By 38th week, you just come to the hospital and get admitted. We'll put you into medication to start the contraction". - Wow, technology.

My take is that if medication is involved, it's no longer a natural birth anymore? Google defines natural birth as "a vaginal birth, especially without medical intervention such as pain-relieving medication." I really do wanted to opt for natural birth if possible.

Another dilemma would be my maternity leave. I've already had it planned so that it covers 2 months full with additional 4 days of AL to take. Now that the delivery is going to be 2 weeks ahead, I'll most likely need to move it. Also we'll have to inform my confinement centre and hopefully there's still space. *sigh*

I have another antenatal appointment with private hospital doctor. I'm glad I still go for this although it's a little pricey. At least I still can get a second opinion and this doctor always makes me feel good by her reassurance. Unless even this doctor gives me the same advise, I think I'll just have to accept the fate.

An interesting experience

I had my 30th week pregnancy doctor's appointment at KKIA last Monday and I thought it would be a brief one. Little did I know, it became an issue.

As usual, I went to KKIA earlier than my appointment time just so that I would be able to get the earlier ticket number. I wasn't that far off, since my appointment is at 9am and I'm the 7th in queue. That morning my condition was slightly different. I felt light headed and had blurry vision.

As I was seated, it wasn't that bad.

Soon my number were called to the nurse room to get the usual weight and blood pressure checked. Surprising to the nurse, my systolic measurement was at 157 and diastolic at 91. Again, the nurse measured in hope that it was just the device error. 151/90 my second reading reads. Worried, she told me if it still looks bad, we'll have to try with doctor's manual blood pressure measurement. Sometimes it gives a different reading. Okay... third reading goes 145/94. That's alarming. She told me to wait for the doctor's call outside at the waiting area and make sure I'm seated.

Hmm, that kinda explains the light headed that I got. I was alone that morning as I thought I just wanna get this appointment over with and head over to office immediately.

Not long after, my number was called to doctor's room. Again, doctor was concerned with the digital blood pressure measuring device result that we got earlier and she uses her manual device to check. It was still high, about 150 she said. She said she might have to prescribe me medicine for that. At least she told me that was borderline.

She then proceed to check baby's growth through sonography. Everything was well, except for baby's abdominal circumference which was a bit small according to their growth chart. She say sometimes the machine at their clinic may not be accurate. That she's gonna refer me to the hospital for two reasons. My blood pressure and rescan the baby's growth. She told me to go immediately. That worries me. I teared a little.

I woke Jonathan up to go with me to the hospital just in case if there's any news I'll have to share with him. It wasn't just about me anymore.

As I reached maternity hospital in HKL, I was lost. I was told to go PAC but I guess I got to the wrong side. I went to the clinic side. Well, I thought they would at least checked the referral letter and point to me where I should go. At that time, I really thought I was at the right place (First time there).

They proceed me with the normal drill. Urine test, weight and bp measurement. My BP was measured 4x when I was at the clinic until they were satisfied with the number (that's cheating) as the previous 3 were all above 140mm Hg (systolic). Finally, at 130 something, she was satisfied and passed my book over to another counter for assessment. When my sequence number was called, I head into the room, only to realize they had not notice the referral letter was to send me to PAC instead (another department). So then I was, sent to PAC on a wheel chair.

Then I found out, PAC stood for Patient Assessment Center, which was why they had so thorough check up on me. I was tested again for my blood pressure, urine, weight and baby's growth scan. Which they too, took few times on my bp and only writing down the satisfied number on the paper. Lucky that my hubby was there because they needed his IC and help to get me food as the blood glucose test shows that I was very low. 3.9 mmol/L.

As the scan and review goes, I've to explain to them again and again how I was feeling. Scan shows baby was okay, but they too got the AC out of range. They were slightly concern about that. Baby shows a difference of 2 weeks' rate.

I was confused as well. Scan at hospital told me that I'm 31w preggy, at KK it was 30w, and private hosp says 29. Now when will I deliver? =____="

Anyway, I was warded for observation in case of hypertension and they want to rule out the possibility of pre eclempsia.

This was my first time getting needled at the back of the palm.

I've been reading other people blogs about their experience in third class ward in Maternity Hospital in HKL. I thought it would be really bad and crowded. It was not. The only thing I agree upon was that it's hot. There were only fans in that level. One fan at the center of 4 beds. It was difficult for me to rest without getting all sweaty.

Food overall was okay. Nurses were friendly. Babies were cute, mothers were friendly too. It feels as though we all understand each other. Being a mother soon, or already a mother.

There were constant checks from the nurses for BP and baby's heartbeat. Which was really nice. The service and care were really good. The more I'm determined to deliver in this hospital and I think I would like to stay in third class ward again despite the hotness. At least there were more nurses walking around and I could get help asap.

Later that evening, I was transferred to another bed which was understandable, they usually move new patients to the front area beds. That new location was much better as I was right under the fan. That night we got supper! Simple bread and milk.

Throughout the midnight, we couldn't really get good rest. From time to time, nurses will come over for BP measurement and baby's heartbeat. Middle of the night I was asked to do urine test. Oh boy.

Next morning, the doctor in charge asked if I did slept well... funny question doctor... I think I could have slept better at home.

That passed, looking at other mothers, I was preparing my own maternity bag list! Looking at them too, made me dilemma about my pregnancy. The patient next to me was having contraction for labour and was inserted pill to enhance the contraction. She was in extreme pain. So pain that she requested for pain killer injection to be able to rest before the opening is right for labour. So much pain that she said, "I should have opted for cesarean... I rather die... Don't want to get pregnant again", that was worrying. 

There were also student that morning that came to do assessment. They asked permission before they start their assessment. I'm always glad to be able to help. Especially I'm curious of my condition too. We learn together, okay? I told them my situation. They were measuring my fetal position and they couldn't find chickpea's position. I told them what I was informed by the doctor. Which was baby breech. According to google, it's that the baby wasn't in the right position as it supposed to. That was also what worries me, but doctor say it's okay to differ 1-2 weeks position. Hopefully the baby would turn by themselves. So yeah, the students couldn't find chickpea's heartbeat and they were trying to figure out where is the head / leg positioned. As one of the student were trying to locate it, my baby kicked hard that she got shocked and apologized. Haha, that was hilarious to me but I really don't mind. Baby has been active these 2 days. Loads of movement even when the students were checking me.

Lunch

That afternoon I got discharged. Hubby came over for the discharge procedure and finally, I'm out! It was indeed an experience to me but at least now I'm not worried about other people's review on the ward classes as they were really attentive and nice.

Now that I have my file open in the hospital, I'll have another place to go for appointments. That's the only annoying part. I'll have to return to the hospital for follow up. GAAHHHH~
