Duncan has arrived on 23rd April 2008! 3 weeks early...our little prince cannot wait to see the world. 22nd Apr 2008
530pm - leaving office, had sudden urge to pack up my table like i'm not coming to work the next day.
730pm - felt slight feverish. and started having like diarrhea tummy ache but no need go toilet. told hubby, he said probably heaty and MIL made me a cup of barley water.
1115pm - at home, abt to fall asleep when i felt Duncan's head turn and a POP! Whole pyjamas pants wet and warm! Jumped out of bed and told hubby,'shit! my waterbag broke! shit shit!' Hubby still blur and ask wat wat! Megan ask me 'Are you ok? are you ok?' I rush to toilet and water still gushing out. Very very messy, wash myself up. Put on disposable panty with pad, change to shorts and quickly left house.
1140pm - Reach MIL's, pass Megan,who was very happy, to them. She kept saying didi is coming out to play!
11.50pm - Reached TMC, security guard wanted to give me wheelchair, i said i'll walk. Hubby went to park car, i head to reception and gave my admission note and told her waterbag broke. Went to labour ward. Water already trickling down my legs and dripping all over. Aiyo...so paiseh
12mn - change to gown and strapped onto CTG. Contractions coming every 5mins but still bearable. Checked cervix, only 1.5cm. Checked temp, 37.7deg. Darn...
1230am - Spoke to Doc Soong on the phone. Cos of fever, she gave me up till 8am. if fever still existed and not dilated, we head for c-sect. My heart dropped.
3am - Contractions more intense. taken off CTG. I requested for the gas mask. Woah!! Gas mask is shiok! Once I got the hang of it, i was in dreamland. Imagining myself in Zouk, having 1-for-1 long island tea n singing 'heaven is a place on earth'. :P
4.30am - Totally high and oblivious to surroundings liao. Nurse checked cervix, hubby said only 3cm!
6.30am - Check temp, drop to 36.8deg. Good! But nurse said bb's heartbeat not so good. Checked cervix only 5cm. I grabbed hubby and told him to tell doc, give me more time to dilate! I can do it! Pain was excruciating. Asked for epidural. Maybe it was God's will, the nurse somehow took her own sweet time to process my epidural request.
8am - Doc Soong came. Nurse then inform me I gotta wait 30mins for epi doc! I wanted to kill her liao! Took so long then tell me still mus wait! I was having urge to push already and grunting away. Doc Soong checked and said already 10cm! Let's go! I was still telling her I really need the epidural. Doc Soong had to calm me down and kept saying,'Trace...10cm already...no need epidural. Let's go.'
820am - In the labour ward and started pushing. The most difficult process! Like having big time constipation and cannot come out! Pushed alot of times then told nurse pls ask doc to come assist me. Nurse left..once again took so long! (god's will again)..Meanwhile I continued to push with hubby's help. Hubby was v encouraging and I was clinging onto his t-shirt. But actually I shouldn't be pushing wo any midwife around. Very risky.
845am - Doc Soong came with 2 nurses and when she saw me, she laughed and said no need to assist lah! They help themselves liao. Nurses panic and quickly push shut my legs to prevent bb from popping. Apparently his head is almost out! When gynae was ready, she told me one last push. I asked her you promise?? She said very sure. So while i gave one last hard push, she cut me and out came Duncan! Wat a relief!! Placenta delivered shortly and then stitched up. Whew!!
Doc Soong calls me the girl who suffered the most in life. Cos #1 pregnancy was induce and ended in emergency c-sect and now it's natural wo epi. hahaha, i told her like that i paid my dues liao!
I would like to use this oppoturnity to thank my dearest hubby for his greatest support during the delivery and post-delivery. He patiently stayed by my side while i battled the pain, chatting with me when i'm not in pain. Well, he was very kan cheong himself and went to the loo 4 times due to tummy ache! hahahaha...
The best part was during the pushing in the labour ward. Without his help, I wouldn't have been able to push Duncan out during the midwife's absence. He patiently told me when to push, and encouraged me continuously, allowed me to crumple his t-shirt...
Hubby...thank you very much! Muacks! XXX
