THE Birth Story

This will definitely not be one of your typical birth story you'll hear!

And I never thought this will be how MY first childbirth experience will be!

It all started on the morning of 14th oct... So the past few days I was suffering from some stomach muscle cramps (actually till now I still have no idea if those were muscle cramps or otherwise! 😁).. But that morn when I woke up, I had a blinking bright light in my vision.. It looked like tt icon u'll see on the iPad when something is still in the midst of loading.. The rotating clock thing?

Yeah.. So tt but brighter..

So that appeared throughout the morning then here n there in the afternoon... But then I started having those cramps again..

Long story short, by evening, I wasn't in good shape! If I remember correctly, my vision started to appear blurry when I woke up from a nap in the evening... It started out as only being able to see the outlines and shape.. Basically i cld see but super not in focus..

Then slowly things got so bad till it was just a complete blur! Of cos I freaked out.. But actually now thinking back, I think mentally I wasn't fully right already..

Maybe totally mixture of confusion, fear and shock...

And the only reason why we didn't go to the hospital right away was because my Gynae check with Dr Choo was the next day and at 9am.. So we thght we cld wait it out...

But I think ard 1+ wp say I started acting weird.. Was blinking my eyes v hard and deliberately.. This was when he said 'let's go to the Hosp now'

According to him, I said ok then said I need to go toilet to pee first... Thn that's when things got scary.. For him at least.. Cos frm here on, I can only recall bits n pieces..

He said I collapsed in the toilet and was having fits... In his hurry, and our lack of understanding when it comes to fits, he stuffed his fingers into my mouth so that I wouldn't bit my tongue..

then he called the ambulance n they told him to just turn me on my side and let the fits work its way away...

I remember a guy calling out to me and I was in a moving vehicle of some kind... N I was in pain..

N also this guy kept pushing an oxygen mask onto my face saying that it will make me feel better.. And at tt moment, I just wanted to tell him stop bluffing, it was making me feel worse! Haha..

But I guess I was pretty much incoherent! Couldn't even say tt much!

Then it was a black out till suddenly I remember them shifting me around and making me sign a whole bunch of things which I couldn't even see!

I think it was a chaos.. What made things worse was the fact that I couldn't see anything by that point..

Frm what I gathered frm wp after that, it sounded like he went to hell and back! Really really grateful for the mental strength that he has and how he pulled thrgh the whole thing!

Anyway skipping all the broken conversations tt I heard thrghout the whole thing, the first thing I rmb after tt was waking up v confused...

I still cldnt see.. Felt weak like shit and thirsty! Damn thirsty!

Ok, this is getting super long... It deserves a Part 2!
