Nasa-sad naman kami para sa misis ni Alfred Vargas na si Yasmine Vargas sa kalbaryong dinaranas niya sa pagbubuntis niya sa kanilang ika-apat na anak.
Sa kanyang latest Instagram post ay ibinahagi ni Yasmine na kinailangan niyang sumailalim sa isang operasyon para maiwasan ang premature delivery.
“At 19 weeks I was diagnosed with a short cervix, it got shorter to only 2.5cm compared to the previous month which was at 3.8cm. I was prescribed progesterone, and was told to go back to modified bed rest and get regular ultrasounds to monitor the length.
“A week later at my anomaly scan everything was going great. Baby A was perfect.
“When they checked my cervix, it was at 2.8cm. Suddenly, it shortened to 2.3cm during a contraction. Slight funneling was also seen,” simulang kwento ni Yasmine.
“I felt my heart sink to the floor and I just started crying and panicking. I was terrified and mad at myself. I wanted my body to work properly. I wanted my baby to be safe,” patuloy niya.
Kaagad daw siyang dinala sa “hig risk pregnancy unit” ng ospital para matigil ang contractions at kinabitan ng iba’t ibang machines.
“They rushed me to the “High Risk Pregnancy Unit” to stop the contractions. They hooked me up with different machines and did a series of tests.
“They found out that I’m positive for Group B Streptococcus and they started giving me intravenous antibiotics,” pagbabahagi ni Yasmine.
At dahil may history siya ng premature birth ay nagdesisyon na raw ang kanyang OB-gynecologist na sumailalim na siya sa cervical cerclage.
“The next day our perinatologist checked my cervix again and it was at 2.8cm and it was closed. But because I have history of premature birth with Cristiano, and because of my contractions, my OBGYN decided that it was best to do the cervical cerclage (a treatment that involves temporarily sewing the cervix closed with stitches). They gave me the stitches the following day,” lahad ni Yasmine.
Sa ngayon daw ay recovering na siya pero under bed rest pa rin for the rest of her pregnancy days.
Ayon sa misis ni Alfred, ito na raw ang pinakamahirap niyang pregnancy so far at nagpapasalamat siya sa kanyang mister na laging nandiyan sa tabi niya, inaalagaan siya at parating nagbibigay ng lakas sa kanya.
Matatandaang noong Hulyo ay inanunsyo ni Alfred na nagdadalang-tao si Yasmine at kasabay nito ay ipinagtapat ang delikadong pagbubuntis ng misis.
“It’s her 4th pregnancy suffering with Hyperemesis Gravidarum all day with severe nausea and vomiting.She can’t even drink water nang hindi nagsusuka after. She lost several kgs in the first 3 weeks.
“This is her 2nd pregnancy with GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder). And she experiences relentless anxiety and panic attacks (without any triggers),” ang pahayag ni Alfred sa kondisyon ng asawa.
