We called Yongin Severance but no one picked up since it was a PH and we eventually decided to just get warded at Bundang Yeoseong instead, since they picked up the call almost immediately. 2hours later i was at the hopital and after the fetal movement checks, the doctor advised for me to be hospitalised immediately. I had packed my stuff and was ready to receive medical attention. The good thing was nampyeon could stay with me and i didn't need any corona test. The hospital obviously cared more about the emotional well-being of moms more than tertiary institutions. I was also surprised their food improved so much (due to a change in caterer). Every meal seem so well-designed and tasted heavenly! It looked normal but the taste was unlike other dishes that had the same outlook.
duck meat!
For the whole week i was dripped on Lavobar and had the levels adjusted whenever i felt more pains or when the intervals got shortened. I had nampyeon by my side who helped me to the toilet since i was trembling terribly from the drip's side effects. He entertained me and installed Stardew valley so we could continue gaming since there was nothing i could do while bed ridden. However i couldn't game for very long - my babies must have hated it because my contractions came on whenever i was on my phone, and i could barely play an hr or so.
In our 5person-ward, there was only another lady with us. She had twins like me and early contractions. I noticed she was sniffling occasionally.. and i realised she might have lost her child in her triplet set like me. She had someone accompanying her who would console her to not cry and be brave and i heard it all. It was actually minimally consoling to know i was not the only one going through such a mess. I could identify with her sniffles, because I, too, made the same sounds just every once and then.
After almost a week there i was scheduled to have an ultrasound to check the baby's condition. I was hit with a new bout of bad news. One of our twins had a hole in her heart and this hospital wasn't equipped to handle it. Additionally they were not able to purge my contractions at their current medical level. The doctor urged us to transfer to a tertiary hospital with the correct specialists early next day.
