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.
