I felt like my stomach was being clamped down, the sudden
pain was so excruciating and all of this just in the matter of leaving the
Perinatal psychiatrist’s office and exiting the Outpatients Building
I waited over 20 minutes to see a maternity nurse for a
consultation. It was a long, painful wait but there were about five people
waiting to be seen before me. At the consultation, the nurse checked my blood
pressure, urine, took some blood samples and explained that the pains could be
sign of a miscarriage, so I should have an Ultrasound scan to check for any
abnormalities. By the time I came out of the consultation room the pain
disappeared. I was relieved but still worried so decided I need to have the
scan to be on the safe side.
It was one pm and I had already waited for an hour to have
the scan but then I was told that the unit is now closed for lunch and I should
come back at two-thirty pm. When I asked the woman Why I wasn’t informed about
this when I came in, I was explained “we normally close at this time but
because it’s a Friday where going to see you as were not open on the weekends,
if it was a weekday you’d have to come back the next day” I felt like killing
someone!
I arranged for Umar and his father to meet me. And when they
did we had some lunch. KEBAB, yummy (highlight of my day so far). Then we
returned to the unit in due time and thank God I was seen immediately. The scan
was perfectly fine, the usual procedure, cold gel, tummy being pushed down but
it was amazing especially because my unborn child and my born child (that
sounds a bit weird) were there in front of my eyes for me to see them together!
Umar lost interest in the little screen after a minute or so and became very
curious about the bed levers. I was very happy, so happy that It
felt like the hours prior to that moment didn’t exist.
And that was it; I was on my way home all safe and sound.
