Five Hundred Movements in One Hour
Meda Anusha kishore
A day before my delivery date i already knew something seems abnormal from evening. I had too many baby movements like almost 500...600 movements in less than 1 hour..... this continued for 3 hours and later it took a break. I was already in panic in first few minutes itself. I felt baby is feeling suffocating inside and just wanted to tear stomach and come out and i was also feeling baby is scratching continuously inside my stomach....
"Never listen others blindly do believe in your body."
Meanwhile my husband was checking with doc if this is a symptom of labour but doc said it is not and she advised to wait and if the movement stops for longer time i should rush to hospital.....
But my case was totally opposite and this too many movements started again after a gap of 1 ..2 hours..it was almost a sleepless night.... nothing was serious but still something seems not right....my husband checked with everyone possible about my condition....and for everyone it was a weird concern... doctor just told if you feel something is wrong u better come to hospital and check heartbeat count. But somehow it was next day morning and i was normal by then. At almost 8 am my actual labour started with too much backpain not able to sit or stand or even eat or hold anything i finally reached hospital and till 4pm i was not dilated and so doc gave injection for labour induction and once I was fully dilated baby came out in just 20 mins by then i already had too much side tear.. nurses interacting with me were telling me to push hard but doctors who were standing near my legs were insisting me not to push without having contraction but in this confusion I have already pushed too hard and it was a side tear ended up with around 12..13 stitches.. everything else was fine with healthy baby but the 1 week was horrible..once the painkillers are over for 3 days then the real pain started not able to walk or sit it just too much to handle and I'm a person with excess body heat always now everyone started saying I should eat garlic stay warm and that's the worst happened to me once I realised it's not for my body i started taking cooling food from 5th day onwards and then i started healing i was given some heating treatment to heal stitches at hospital but it was not there at home everyone suggests to take garlic peal and sambrani to be put on burning coal and dry up stitches but I'm very much opposite to body heating techniques and i left everything i stopped listening to others and i started doing whatever i like my husband ordered room heater and i Used it to dry up stitches down there I did it 3 times a day for almost 1 week and my stitches were completed dried up and i have seen relief in very few days and finally after almost a month or more all stitches got dissolved and came of while peeing
