Post-D&C

Well, mother-in-law fell ill ~ so my hubby is doing all the pampering instead. I think he'd make such a good "confinement lady" ~ he cooks well, cleans well and comforts well. :)

The D&C operation (to remove the miscarried fetus from my womb) went well. Ben took one day's leave from work to accompany me through it all. Was also very glad for Wee Lyn's surprise visit ~ just before I was wheeled away to the operation theater.

I came down with excruciatingly painful cramps later in the day, due to the womb contractions ~ and had to be rushed to the Emergency Department of  Tanjung Medical Center at 10+ pm. They gave me a butt jab. After writhing and rolling around in pain for a little while more (it was probably more dramatic than I can describe with words) --- I grew drowsy and as the painkillers kicked in, the cramps became less intense. Subsequently, the hubby brought me home --- and has been monitoring my condition throughout the night, giving me hot drinks and feeding me with Panadol Menstrual (which I have never eaten prior to this).

Thanking God that it's the weekend (so that both Ben and I don't need to work) - and that I'm better today. Indeed He is a good and merciful God ~ in the hindsight, I realized that He has fully provided for us throughout the pregnancy, even though the baby did not make it to full-term. I pray that His purposes for this pregnancy would be fulfilled and that He would be glorified through my pain. To those who prayed and sent me such loving, encouraging texts/emails --- thank you! :)
