Ooops! So, i shall blog now! Hehe! :D
PART 1.
By right, lil damien's edd was on the 31st aug, and i had an appointment with Dr Chua
on the 26th aug. Went for the appointment as usual feeling anxious and excited.
Cause last checkup baby's head is not engaged yet and Dr Chua said i will give birth
real close to my edd. Went for my checkup at gleneagles and Dr Chua said baby's head
engaged already! I was so happy, lil damien is ready to come out soon.
And to my surprise, my gynae said i have already dilated 2cm. Woah!
I was quite shock at the moment. Hus called and asked me how's my checkup after that.
Told him what my gynae said and i can feel that he really can feel that he's going
to be a dad soon! Took bus back to my own home myself and had lunch etc.
After lunch, i could feel slight pain in my lower tummy, wasnt sure if it was contraction
pain at that moment cause this is my first one and i am really blur.
Told mum that i had the pain after my checkup and explained to her the type of pain.
She told me that's the contraction pain but have to observe more because my
contraction very long then pain once, like half an hour like that.
Chatted with mum the whole afternoon, about life, give birth etc.
Make me real nervous about giving birth. The contraction pain got closer and closer
when it's evening time, hus reached my house and i told him about it. He looked so
i dont know how and asked me to observe how frequent is the contractions.
We still played mahjong at home, cause i feel that it's the last time i can play mahjong
till after my confinement. The pain grew stronger and stronger.
Mahjong ended around 10pm and dad and mum asked me to quickly go home
take a bath and head down to thomson medical.
My mum said impossible to pain whole day, i should be going to give birth already.
So dad drove us home, i checked my hospital bag, took a bath and get ready to head
down to hospital. But then i still dont feel the untolerable contraction pain and texted
sandy to ask her. She told me to take note of the contraction time and the time
in between while she help me ask Dr Chua for her opinion if i should go down
to the hospital now. Dr Chua told me not to go down first until i really find
the pain untolerable. And i really didnt go down. We went to bed after awhile.
PART 2
Next day morning around 4am, i was awaken by the pain. Felt quite uncomfortable.
But i still fell asleep on and off till around 7am. I really feel the contractions pain getting
more and more frequent and unbearable. But that day was presidential voting 27th aug,
and i told hus to quickly go and have his vote before we head down to TMC.
Hus went voting at 8am, the earliest time to vote.
I took a long bath at home, had breakfast And we cab down to TMC around 10 plus.
Reached the hospital and we went to delivery ward.
The nurse checked and said i only dilated 2cm, early larbour still and told me she will
inform my gynae. We waited till around noon, they told me that Dr Chua
will be coming around 3pm. But, she came at 1.30pm. Was really glad to see her.
Cause i really quite worried. Dr Chua checked on me and i dilated 3cm. I was like wth!?
I pain for more than one day already dilate 3cm only.
And at that moment i really feel that my contraction pain is real painful.
Told my gynae i dont want to wait already cause i pain for very long already.
She told me she understand and said that she's going to burst my water bag now.
She apologised to me too, saying that immediately after my checkup i am going
to give birth. Told her it's okay, no worries. Dr Chua is really a very good gynae.
After she burst my water bag, i could feel the intense pain. Pain like hell man!!
But i still didnt request for epidural, i keep tolerate.. until i really bui tahan already.
The nurse came and i requested for epidural and the nurse still sarcastic say
just now she asked me want epidural i still say wait, cant wait one this type. Kns!
Anesthetic doctor came and injected the epidural into my spine. Fucking pain!
I never imagined that it would be so painful. Like injected a row into my spine.
The nurse still hold onto me, worried that i would figet when i felt painful.
I felt super relieved after the epidural, totally painless!
After injecting the epidural, i can smile and laugh and talk to hus.
Could use my iphone too. Lol. Hus took an ugly photo of me using my iphone 4.
Waited till 5 plus and Dr Chua came and asked me how was it etc and she checked
how much have i dilated again. And within 4 hours i was already 8cm dilated.
She said the progress is good and that i can get ready to give birth soon, and told me
that she will come again around 7pm to help me deliver my baby.
Was really excited and worried about the pushing part later on.
Nurses came at around 6pm and pushed me into the real delivery ward, they told me
that they should push me in earlier but there wasnt enough delivery ward, all of them
are full. They said alot of babies choose to be born on presidential election day.
I was like LOL, my lil damien too. Haha. I was still in the happy happy mood, zero pain
feel mood, watching television. Till Dr Chua came and said i am ready to give birth.
Then i started to feel abit gan qiong, worried that i dont know how to "push"
cause i got no pushing feel at all due to the epidural. It really last long for me.
I was painless and numb all the way even till when i was "pushing".
A nurse, Dr Chua & hus was there encouraging me to push. Pushing was not easy,
i had to hold my breath for 10 secs and push.
Really need alot of energy and stamina to push. I felt so out of breathe.
But with the support of hus, i pushed real hard during all my contractions.
PUSH & PUSH & PUSH......
Took less than 45 mins of pushing and i heard lil damien's cry! Lil damien is out!
Hugging lil damien in my arms, i was like " Finally! He's out! "
I know i very cui. Lol. Using my iphone 4 to upload lil damien's picture to facebook :D
Date of birth: 27 August 2011
Weighing: 3.300kg
Length: 50cm
One eye open. *Wink*
Awwww.. open eye.
Love this photo max! Damien's nose look exactly like mine! :D
Ooopss.. Mummy didnt sensor away my private part :x
I am cleaned and lying with mummy!! ^^
This picture was taken by my sis.
My sis & youngest brother came to see me immediately
after she know that i gave birth. Touched! :)
*Yawned yawned* Tireddd~
My handsome damien ♥
Daddy sayang sayang.
Hus trying to carry lil damien and pass to me.
He looked so serious and cautious! :)
Hus passed lil damien to me.
And i fell asleep too when carrying him in my arms.
I love him so much!
Lil Damien is sleeping but i cant help to but to touch him.
Start to have the mummy feel. Haha.
My stitch really hurt alot, the particular night that i gave birth to him i cant sleep at all.
I called for the nurse and told her, she called and let my gynae know.
Dr Chua came awhile later and asked them to give me painkillers and a jab to ease
my pain and let me sleep. I was sad that hus wasnt allowed to stay overnight in
the hospital, 2-bedded room cant, only one bedded room can. Wth lo!
Never mind lo, i sleep alone. Hus came early in the morning the next day and
accompanied me. Chat with hus and asked him to push lil damien to my ward.
Bond with lil damien. Hus keep looking at damien too. Haha.
Tried to latch lil damien with the help of a professional nurse but still unsuccessful.
Teared when i see lil damien cry when he's hungry and cant latch from my breast.
Hus encouraged me and asked me not to cry. Haha.
My mil and hus's sis came and my family arrived awhile later.
They were all so happy to see lil damien. And i was so happy to see my dad and mum.
They stayed for a few hours and leave for dinner.
But hus is always there to accompany me!
Aiying came in the evening, with a pack of mamy poko pants. Thanks! :)
Peizhen sis came after math, shortly after aiying arrived.
Thanks for the visit my dear sisters :)
It was time for me to discharge the next morning. Hus came early in the morning too.
Dad and mum came to send me home, while hus settle the hospital bill and
baby's birth cert etc. Talking about the hospital bill, tsk tsk! Expensive lo!
Our total hospital bill is $5100.
Can you imagine how expensive it is! Natural birth somemore leh!
The epidural itself cost $400+. *Shake head* Bloody expensive.
My gynae's fee.. Hus keep complain very expensive but i told him at least Dr Chua
is responsible and professional. Worth it lah hus.
Only the hospital fees really...expensive! All mummies, consider KKH as your first
choice unless the gynae you want is not at KKH.
