May 11, 2011…

Early morning, the sun is up, a beautiful day ahead. Breakfast… done, things to prepare… done, ready to go to my office.

Office environment-filing, reports, talking to my boss and some condo owner, preparation of some documents, those usual things happen in my life inside the office.

2pm…afternoon…My boss and I talked to one of our tenants about the contract, after a sort of explanation, I am now preparing the contract, suddenly I felt something burst inside, still I continue printing the contract…another burst…I felt something unusual that force me to go to the comfort room. I was shocked that I saw blood! I felt nervous and my heart started pounding so fast, I don’t know what to do! I think, I even forgot to flush the toilet bowl. Hurriedly, I went out and told my boss that I was bleeding. My boss assisted me to sit down, I picked up the telephone to immediately call my OB-gyne, and her assistant told me hasn’t arrived yet. After that I called my mom, my voice is shivering while talking to her. I told her what happened and asked her to meet me to my OB-gyne’s clinic. I called my OB-gyne again; thank God she’s already there. I told her what happened, so she first then instructed me to go to the hospital but later on changed her mind and insisted me to go to her clinic to do an ultrasound first before going to the hospital. Our tenant, the one that we talked about the contract, offered his car to brought me to the clinic. One of our staff assists me and she is at my side till we reached the clinic.

During the travel, I did so many things. I think it’s about 5 to 10 minutes travel going to my OB-gyne’s clinic. I grab my phone and did a message and inform my hubby and my sister-in-law about my situation. I called my husband and ask him if he can go home early…imagine my husband is in the province, his travel going home will be 2 hours I think. I talked to him, explain, my tears appeared because I don’t know what to do. After I talked to my husband, I talked to Gelo (the name of my baby), I keep on telling to him that “hold on baby…hold on baby…” I slightly touched my tummy to feel him. I am so happy because he keeps on moving inside my tummy. When we reached the clinic, I kept on thanking our tenant who brought me in the clinic, he is such a good person, I think God gave him to me to guide me and brought me in the clinic immediately…to save me and my baby.

In the clinic, I think there were 3 patients before me. The assistant of my OB-gyne got my BP and my weight. She talked to me and ask me to calm because my OB-gyne will check me immediately right after the 3 patients. As I waited, I keep on touching my tummy to feel my son, gladly that he keep on moving, but suddenly, I felt pain, at first the pain is tolerable…but slightly the pain getting worse. Then my OB-gyne called me and I immediately went to her clinic. Then he saw the blood, she explained to me that she really need to do an emergency CS but she needs to do an ultrasound first, to check why there’s a bleeding and to check what is the age of the fetus. I am scheduled to give birth on June 21, 2011, so it’s about a month to go before the right time to give birth. During the ultrasound, my doctor told me that on medical term, I experiencing Placenta Privia Totalis-Placenta positioned first to come out rather than the baby as far as I understood.

That was the explanation of my OB-gyne, but for some, I experienced bleeding because of some stress happened in my life. I think there are 3 major stressful event happened. First, when my father was confined to the hospital for about 1 week due to mild stroke. During his confinement, I did all the things in the hospital and I even to go there after office. Second is the stress in my work, a lot of things to do, some reports, talking to some people and many more. Lastly is the footbridge that I need to pass through every day before going home, Whew!!!Those stress happened in my life.

The operation…the emergency CS…the feelings…the scary moment…soon…
