Assalamualaikum,
The last post in this blog marked the day I saw the 2 red lines on the urine pregnancy test. Allahuakbar! The happiness was indescribable.
To recall some of the conversations that I had with my husband..
"Kita nak namakan anak kita apa?"
"Nak beranak kat mana? Kalau Hospital UIA siap, nak beranak kat UIA jelah"
"EDD 1 June 2016, nanti pantang time bulan puasa la nampaknya"
"Huda mengidam apa, abang belikan"
"Nak siapkan keje lab sebelum bulan 6 tahun depan. Nanti boleh cuti lama nak fully breastfeeding baby.."
"Bila nak bagitau Mak? Kita tunggu balik KL, tunjuk "Mak, perut Huda buncit!""
Wow! I can just go on listing all the conversations we both had. Seriously, both of us were SUPER EXCITED for this new coming baby after waiting for 6 years.
However, the excitement had to stop when we saw the ultrasound scan. My uterus was empty. And I saw the POC was outside the uterus. "O Allah. Why is it that the POC outside and not in its place? Is is another ectopic?" This time round, there was no heart beat so, I didn't cry like the last time when I saw the scan. (Strong Ummi!!)
There were 3 specialists seeing my case and they were giving me so many options. I chose to go for emergency diagnostic laparoscopic kiv open laparotomy for ectopic left cornual pregnancy. I was happy for the pregnancy to be 5 weeks and 6 days (Thank You Allah for the oppurtunity given), but I was sad for the rest of the days because knowingly that I had to terminate the pregnancy.
I was in the operation theatre for 3 hours. They did open mini laparotomy (which didn't look like a mini to me) and wedge resection 2x2cm of the left cornual pregnancy. Syukur that it was on the left side. So, my right tube is spared. But they said that the next pregnancy need to have contraception precautions and must be elective caesarean section. (I'm still thinking the fact of being pregnant at the age of 37-38...;)) Alhamdulillah, I was discharged after 3 days warded.
It was hard for me to cope and adjust to the "jalan kura-kura", "pegang bantal kecik kat perut untuk support" the first 2 weeks. But entering 3rd week, I'm felling adjusted with what I can or not do. The pain is still there but bearable. Not sure when I can go up to my room upstairs. Huhu.
There were times when I cry my heart out after solat. The thoughts that came to me were actually du'as for me..
- I wish to get better, healthy, fit physically ane spiritually after 4 weeks
- I wish that Allah will grant my GOT PhD eventhough I might be struggling this coming few months
- I wish to teach Huzaifah and Habib their school subjects personally and make du'a that they will become number 1 in class
- I am sad the fact that this is the 2nd ectopic pregnancy and they distorted my upper segment uterus making the risk for me to get pregnant is very high
- I am sad I am unable to lift heavy weights and doing housechores for quite sometime because the scar is just too big..
- I was sad and worried if I made the right decision by terminating the pregnancy. But, reading the forums made me believe that I did the right thing
- I am sad that I have lost 2 precious pregnancies that are difficult for me to get
- I am sad.
- But, I accept the fate that this is what Allah wants me to experience. The pain, the heartache, the unstable mood makes me try to get back to Allah. He knows best!
Post op 13 days, I think I can handle my emotional better. I hope to recover soon and become the best of His servant insyaAllah. May Allah bless us with many Blessings and Happiness for what has happened definitely broke my heart. Amiiiin.
Thanks Abang for your understanding. The chocs... my mood lifters!!! *thumbs up* ;)
