We had lunch at Jurong Point today. YK attempt to order food he wanted. So cute looking at him blabbing at the waitress who is taking our order

YK turns one!

Happy birthday my love. Mummy wishes you happiness and good health. May you always be so cheerful and smiley. It's been a wonderful year watching you hitting your milestones.

Happy Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year! YK's first CNY celebration. YK also managed walking without help!! Mummy is very proud of you!

Birth of YK

Today is the day! Finally I can get to see and hold my baby boy! The nurse came in the morning and told me that she will wheel me down to labour ward around noon time but I won't be able to have my lunch in case I required emergency c-sect.

Just before noon, I quickly took a nice long bath (Chinese belief no bathing for a month after birth). The nurse came shortly after and I was on CTG. The labour ward nurse insert a pill for me to poo before birth. I have no contraction pain even though the CTG shows contraction. Dr Loh came to check on me but I'm only 5cm dilated. As the membrane sweep is too painful for me, Dr Log suggested that I should take epidural. He called for the anesthetist and she came shortly after. I was given laughing gas while she prepare me for epidural. The wait after that was long. I was only wheeled into the birth room hours later.

After a few push, here's my baby!

Baby Baby!

Had some spotting on yesterday and was feeling abit edgy since it's near my EDD. Told my hubby about it and we decided to drop by Dr Loh's clinic. Dr Log decided to do a membrane sweep to check after scan. It was hell for me! I was screaming and it was too painful for me. Dr Log suddenly told us to admit and I have already dilated 3cm. We were shocked and not prepared for this at all. My hubby took the admission form while the clinic nurse wheel me down.

I had to be in the labour ward to monitor for contraction(CTG). After monitoring for about an hour, Dr Loh told us to be warded and likely to give birth by the next day.

We went to the admission counter at Thomson Medical Centre (TMC) and they brought us up to our ward. My hubby went home to pack my bag while I stayed in the ward to enjoy my me time.

Pregnant! Finally!

It's been a long time since I've updated my blog. After my miscarriage in year 2014, my hubby and I decided to change to another gynae instead.

We've booked our appointment with Dr SF Loh from Thomson Fertility Centre and started our new ivf cycle. We paid about $10k after S4k deduction from medisave in total for the whole cycle (excluding the initial medication and other miscellaneous fee). We have retrieved 29 oocytes (one good thing about PCOS is I have lots of eggs), but only 18 where fertilized.  We were also told to proceed to O&G Clinic at Thomson Medical Centre for Intralipid drip (~$220). I shall skip waiting part for viable scan etc to the result :). I am officially pregnant with a singleton. YEAH!! 

We went for Anomaly scan at week 20 and it took us 3hours as our baby is not very cooperative :( and we have a baby boy on our way!! As of today, I am 5 months pregnant.

what if...

Think i jinxed it again. Was thinking whether to break good news to our parents on 26th Aug and its gone by 28th. Guess we really have to listen to what our elders said. Do not announce arrival until 3 months later otherwise bad luck.

Was resting on bed when it happened on 27th Aug.. Felt a gush and i ran to the toilet leaving trail.. Stuck in the toilet but notice the bleeding did not stop. So i quickly dial for cab and rush to hospital. Called my hubby while on the cab.

Called Dr Yu and inform her about my situation and was asked to go O&G instead of A&E. Waited outside her clinic and as soon as the room is clear i rush in. She did a scan and confirm its still intact. She ask me to register for admission. She also ordered progesterone shot to be administered when warded. We waited almost 2 hours for the ward until i got pissed off. I ask the nurse to administer the shot but she had to get clearance. After asking a few times, finally they gave me the shot. 

Rested at the nurse room while waiting for bed. They were serving dinner when i was wheeled to the ward. 

The ward doctor came with 2 trainee doctor and i got a shock. There was a miscommunication somrwhere and when the doctor come he apologize about miscarriage. After clarification he mentioned there's a mixed up with another patient.

But true enough, when i did a scan this morning. Its gone. I'm angry and at the same time sad.

Sad about the lost. Angry with late administration of jab and ward. Angry with the miscommunication. Somehow i lost my faith in ivf and SGH. Everything was soooo sloooow. I keep thinking.. What if they administer the shot asap.. Could the ending change?

What if........ 

At the end of the day.. Back to reality.. What's gone is gone and never coming back..
