My road to amniocentesis

We made an appointment for an amniocentesis one week in advance. That week, I can only say that I was a little nervous. After all, I am a person who is very afraid of pain.

We leave for Guangzhou at 8 o'clock and arrive at the hospital at about 6: 00. We registered with the doctor for the last preoperative examination. The doctor asked about our medication situation very thoughtfully, looked up my medical information and told us what we needed to pay attention to, and then signed four double-sided notices, surgical consent, risk notification and so on. Anyway, I didn't look carefully. Brother Dong is watching.

Later, after staying outside for a while, a nurse asked us to take blood tests to confirm our thalassemia test, which was free of charge, and we were not told the same test results; It's different. There will be a phone call. The nurses inside were all nervous by me. I kept hiding and grabbed Brother Dong's hand. I am afraid of pain. what can I do? The blood drawn by the nurse the week before has a shadow.

I heard the nurse in the operating room calling my name immediately after I went out. I hurried to see it. So I'm going to have an operation. The nurse said I didn't need to bring anything, so people went in (in fact, I had to take the payment slip to get in).

When I walked into the operating room, I saw four pink beds with two people lying on them, and two people were sitting by the gate chatting. I couldn't help asking the one lying in bed, "Does it hurt?" They told me it didn't hurt, so what? It didn't relieve my nervousness. Fortunately, I can talk all the time to distract me.

After the blood needle port stopped bleeding, I put on my surgical gown and slippers, and one of them entered another door for surgery (one at a time).

It's my turn, the alarm bell rings in my heart, and the feeling of tension and fear comes at once. I always feel that I am the kind of person who will know later.

First, the nurse will ask your name.

Then, you will be asked to lie on the operating bed to prepare, and the clothes inside you will be rolled up to your chest with the surgical gown outside; Pants and underwear are all taken off in the middle of PP (anyway, the key parts can't be exposed), just like the usual B-ultrasound.

That operating table is quite big, which is the color of a cold gray steel bed with disposable cushions on it, which scares you. The nurses are busy inside, and no one will pay attention to your nervousness and fear.

After the belly is completely exposed, the nurse will wipe your whole belly three times with alcohol cotton stained with iodine. It feels like wiping your face with a bad towel, and it feels like the older generation washing their faces with a wet towel. I feel tingling. As I rubbed it, I said that it was sterilized and needed to be disinfected vigorously. Later, a big round surgical towel will be spread on me, only revealing my stomach. I still feel nervous and always want to talk to the nurse, but unfortunately she ignores me.

The following is the same as the B-ultrasound process. You can still hear the baby's fetal sound in front, and the nurse will find a place where it is not easy to plunge in and pump amniotic fluid. I was so nervous at this time that I took a deep breath. The nurse immediately warned me that I couldn't do this. I can't do this anymore!

I also want to say that I am really nervous. Can you let me take a deep breath? The nurse didn't give me this chance ... she has already inserted the needle, and the technique is clean and neat. I can't speak when I stick the needle to the end. The pain is completely concentrated on my stomach, and all the pain nerves are extremely sensitive. The wound where the little finger was just injured was pressed by the nurse. It hurts! The needle hole in the left hand that just drew blood hurts! The nurse comforted me that it was the most painful thing.

I've been holding my breath and my muscles are tense. I can feel the nurse put a big syringe on the needle mouth and began to suck amniotic fluid. In the middle, it will move slightly towards the needle, which is very difficult. When the pointer moves, my pain nerve opens completely. I know that I have changed three syringes. At the moment I pulled them out, I had an illusion that someone had stabbed me and pulled out the knife.

The overall pain is twice that of cutting hands with a fruit knife (the kind of bleeding), that is, the painful place moves from the hand to the stomach, and the degree of pain can be imagined by yourself.

I am the kind of person whose pain nerves are more sensitive than ordinary people. When the nurse pulled out the needle, she heard my breathing and said strangely, you are so afraid of pain.

Finally, tape the wound and press it for 5 minutes. The nurse will check your name and other information with you, and then let you go out and lie down for at least 10 minutes. I left because the person lying in the back will come out soon, about half an hour.

Including waiting, surgery and postoperative rest, it takes about 1 hour in total.

Brother Dong was already asleep when he came out. I woke him up to get information. I sat next to him and he said my face turned white with fear. It's so scary. It obviously hurts! !

I had enough rest and then went out for lunch. I always feel that my stomach drops in the middle, so I'm afraid that one in a thousand chances of miscarriage will be met by me.

After I went home, I slept. Brother Dong went out and found a small clinic to give me an injection (anti-D immunoglobulin). I searched for a long time but couldn't find this place. I went back to Zhongshan in the evening and asked my friend to find a private clinic. At this point, the burden in my heart felt relieved.

This should be the biggest check-up during the whole pregnancy. I don't know if it's bad luck or luck. I can meet this kind of panda blood with small probability, and both sides are thalassemia; This is also a kind of luck for people who want more children than infertility. In short, Ann gave birth to her baby safely and omnipotently, and she had such a good husband, got married smoothly, and her mother took care of my baby. I am very grateful for the fate, at least I am a lucky person.
