God’s time: 08/12/2023
At week 30, a few minutes after I had visited the washroom around 1:30 am and had gone back to sleep, I felt my bed was wet. I initially thought I had passed urine but I checked and it was odorless and colorless. This liquid kept gushing from my vagina . Hubby and I were confused and got alarmed.
At 1:45a.m I called my Gynae and he confirmed it was my water that was broken. He advised me to be stable and report to the hospital later in the morning.
We got to the hospital around 6:30 am and I was examined and diagnosed with “premature raptured membrane ” . I was admitted on strict bedrest. I kept losing liquor and contractions were aborted every day because they were recurring. I was given injection to help build baby’s lungs and antibiotics.
After managing the condition for 5 weeks at the hospital, I was scheduled for a CS at 36 weeks. When I got to 35 weeks 5 days, I went into active labor again around 7a.m. Contractions couldn’t be aborted, I was going to be prepared for the theater when my gyn decided to check for dilation. At 8:15a.m I was 5cm gone and was given the chance for vaginal delivery. I was immediately transferred to the lying ward for monitoring. I began to have the urge to push and was again transferred to labor ward. At 8:45a.m through the mercies of God, after 2 pushes my 💙 Prince Charming💙 arrived weighing 2.1kg. Even though he born preterm, his vitals were fine and there wasn’t the need to go to NICU but was rather monitored until we were discharged the following day. Thanks to Midwife Sally and her team for the various teachings that enlightened my knowledge about pregnancy and delivery.
