1 Week - Postnatal Check Up (27 Sep 17)

At 10:30 am, Husband and I arrived Metro IVF, Puchong branch. I registered myself then heading to weight myself. My weight before delivery was 68 kgs. Now my weight is 59.5 kgs. So much relieved after knowing it. I believe I will be able to reduce my weight back to the weight before pregnancy.

I have waited for 1 hour only my turn to see Dr. Tee Swi Peng. Today is the day to remove stitches. I laid on the bed, then Dr. Tee used a scissor to cut the front and the end of the stitches then removed the stitches. Dr. Tee said the wound was recovered nicely and it’s only 4 inches long (10 cm). I were feeling a bit itchy on my wound. Then Dr. Tee was using a medical alcohol (I believe it’s) to wipe the wound. Dr. Tee asked me do I want to see my wound. I quickly said no no no. I really not dare to see my scars. I asked the nurse whether my wound got blood or not. She said no blood and it’s recovered nicely.

I checked with Dr. Tee whether I can consume motilium pill to improve my milk production. Dr. Tee said yes I can consume it and it’s safe to consume. Dr. Tee also said a new born mother sometimes have to wait for a week only got milk supply. Dr. Tee claimed that my body is not fully recovered yet, the wound only recovered 20%, I can do light works after three months and I will be fully recovered after six months. We expressed a big thank you to Dr. Tee and we will definitely come back for a second frozen embryos transfer.

A New Chapter of My Life - Day 3 Discharge Day (22 Sep 17)

I had to walked to the washroom by myself now. Lucky that I chose a single room and I didn’t have to walk so far to go to the washroom. It’s still painful while walking. I had to clean up myself and change pad (using my own pad). 

While I prepared to enjoy my breakfast, a nurse brought my baby to me. She asked me to breastfeeding my baby. I were breastfeeding my baby at the same time enjoying my breakfast (2 breads+hot milo).

Around 10 am, Dr. Mohan came to see me. He checked and touched my tummy. I told him it’s painful when touching my tummy. He informed me that I can discharge today. Nurses came to measure blood pressure for me, gave me injection, gave me 4 pills (2 pain killer and 2 antibiotics) and changed a new drip for me. She told me this bottle was the last, once finished, I can discharge already. I were so excited.

Around 12 pm, my parents-in-law, sister-in-law and her 2 kids came to visit baby and me. I requested nurse to bring my baby down. At first, nurse said cannot because they are preparing baby for something. I told nurse for a while only, then only nurse agreed to bring down baby. They were so happy to see my baby and took picture with my baby. They left the hospital around 1:30 pm. 

At 4:30 pm, Husband came and went to pay bills. The total bill was RM 7,800 + Deposit RM 200. Nurse gave me three type of medicine, antibiotics (must finish it), pain killer (only eat if it still pain) and pills for constipation. We left the hospital around 5:30 pm.

A New Chapter of My Life - Day 2 (21 Sep 17)

I remembered at 1:30 am, Dr. Tee Swi Peng came with two nurses to see me. He told me baby and I were fine and we can discharge tomorrow. He asked me how did I feel. I told him I were feeling pain in my tummy. He said it’s a good sign if I feeling pain because the uterus are shrinking. At that time,  I still feeling drowsy, I just need more sleep.

Around 6:30 am, a nurse came and cleaned up for me. I brushed my tooth and changed a new clothes. Then they removed my urine bag. It’s painless. After I had my breakfast,  a nurse helped me to get down from bed and walked to the washroom. It’s painful and I couldn’t stand straight. The nurse asked me to hold a deep breath, hold my tummy and walked. 

Around 11:00 am, a whole group of Metro IVF team came and took a group picture with me and baby. At that time, my husband wasn’t arrived yet, we took the picture without him. I were so blessed and blissful holding my baby. 

I were not sure am I under depression. I cried again. The reason I cried is because I felt helpless, painful and husband wasn’t around. I were feeling painful and couldn’t breastfeeding my baby. 

Around 5:00 pm, husband came and accompanied me. At 6:00 pm, I received a basket flower from my parents-in-law. It was big and beautiful.



I were so down the whole day after nurse removed my urine bag and I have to walk by myself. 😭😭😭
