My wife is currently at her 25th weeks 1 day (6 months 1 week) and 18th day on bed rest at the RBWH.
She had some mild pain at her lower abdominal area on Friday last week. She was immediately rushed to the delivery ward for labour but after several investigtions, it was only a false alarm. The doctors decided that she carry on with the pregnancy and was brought back to the maternity ward.
Today, she experienced similar sort of pain like the one on Friday. Several investigations were done only to find out it was also another false alarm. This time, she was given a steroid injection to help baby lungs maturation.
All the doctors can say is ‘just wait and see’. Those words have been lingering in my mind every now and then. There is nothing the doctors can do to make her pregnancy reach full term. They said it would be a miracle if it does. And there is also nothing they can do to stop the baby from deciding to come out. But they can help make sure my wife is in the best possible condition to carry on with her pregnancy.
We are counting the days - a day at a time. We just keep our hopes up and pray every day that my wife would be able to get through this for another 4 weeks at least until the 29 weeks gestation (7 months and 1 week). That is when the baby is usually healthy enough and can be safely delivered without much complications.
Ya Allah, please save our little baby!!!
