♥ Chrystabelle Sng Jia En ♥
what a coincidence... once i finish blogging the last entry... i felt contraction!
whahahaa... baby can sense that i am blogging about her and she can't wait to see us!
--21 August 2010--
i was suppose to meet up with yo and teng to chill on a fri night..
but i was too tired. so i slept from 9plus till 11pm.
woke up... laze around, facebooked, surf net, blogged...
2.30am, sng sng and i went to bed...
my tummy felt painful but i know that its not the kind of pain which i had something to poo..
i guess it is contraction.. but still unsure...
around 3am.. i WhatsApp jolene, jody's sis..
she told me that it might be contraction and ask me to time the interval.
if it keeps coming, better to call up the hospital for advise.
i couldn't slp as the contraction came every 10 mins!
its like having diarrhea.... the pain come and go.. felt like my tummy is a "washing machine" spinnig every few minutes...
i called TMC (Thomson Medical Centre) at 3.30am and the nurse asked me to go down.
i didn't want to as i thought it might be false alarm... so i told her that i will monitor myself and visit my gynae the next morning...
however, if contraction comes every 5 mins... the nurse advise me to go to TMC immediately.
4am.... the contraction came every 5 mins!
i got panicked and couldn't wait till the next morning...
so i woke sng sng up and we head to TMC, without showering, eating, sleeping!
we sneak out quietly around 4.45am as we didn't want to wake my parents up and make them excited till they can't slp. hehe.
when i called them around 7am... they were shocked/worried but happy to hear the news
my mother in law just went to KL on friday morning..
so i text her and she called back telling us that she will rush back on sunday. lol.
this little baby of ours is really very precious! she makes everyone soo excited!
we arrived at TMC around 5am... they took my pressure and did all the checks..
next moment.. they just told sng sng...
"okie... you can proceed to do admission."
omg! i thought it was just a simple check up.. i never expect to be admitted!
it was a mixed feeling...
i felt scared cause the pain which i been anticipated for 9 months is coming...
on the other hand.. i also felt excited cause baby is really arriving in the next few hours!
since 5am.. i didn't slp or eat at all!
i was too excited.. so i can still tahan without food and slp...
when there is no contraction.. i can facebook! hehee.
everyone thinks that i am crazy!
in labour and yet i can still facebook.
to be frank... when there is no contraction.. i felt normal..
but when contraction hits me every few mins.. i curl up and kept quiet..
since labour time is sooooooooo long... best is to do something relaxing when u r in labour to divert your attention from contraction!
around 7 plus 8am, my gynae, M Tan came to break the water bag...
i told her i am super hungry and she said i can eat something light but the nurses didn't give me anything at all!
she asked if i would like to have epidural...
i said no as alot of people advise me not to take it.
since the pain is still bearable... i told M Tan to give me another 2 hours to consider..
time seems to pass very fast that day...
blink blink... its 10am...
sng sng can tell that i am in pain... (bearable pain) and he asked me to take epidural so that i will feel better.
it took me quite some time to say yes....
anaesthetist, Dr Lee Lillian came and gave me the jab.
she is very nice and very gentle...
i never regret taking epidural!
though i am scared of neddles.... i would say the injection is not that painful...
probably because contraction already made me feel "numb". lol.
so when Dr Lee inject the epidural, i just felt a little pain.
the moment the medication was in me... i felt so much better!
my advise to all natural birth mummies is...
pls take epidural.. though some ppl say you will have back ache, etc, in your future years...
just take epidural first... as it will shorten labour waiting time and you feel so much more relax and relieve!
i could smile and fool around instantly.
contraction? no more.. hehe..
though i am having contraction... i can't really feel it!
how wonderful!
2 plus... M Tan came to check on me again..
i told her that i am really very hungry and she questioned the nurses why they didn't feed me!
i bet the nurse forgot about it but she came up with a lame excuse saying that i am in pain and she didn't want to feed me cause i might throw out...
rubbish!!
anyway... after being in hunger for that long... they only gave me 3 crackers and half cup of milo!
by 4 plus.. it was time to push...
1, 2, 3... 10, PUSH!
pushing is just like shitting. whahahaaa...
this is the most tiring part as i need to hold my breath and push real hard!
but i felt that pushing is quite fast... probably because i have already waited for close to 11 hours. lol.
i think i only push for like 30 mins max.
when i was pushing... M Tan wasn't around..
in movies/tv shows... i always see gynae around when the mummy is pushing.. lol
so i wonder why M Tan is not here... and the midwives are the one who kept "pushing" with me...
however... the moment M Tan stepped in...
with just one push... baby is out!
Thank god!
i felt so relieve the moment i saw my baby...
sng sng nearly teared when he saw baby but he controlled. hehee
my husband is such an emotional guy!
i was too tired to teared but the moment i carried my baby girl... i just can't believe that we are proud parents!
i like the feeling when i look at her... its very special...
she is a gift from god which we can't buy using money.
FYI, i waited for good 12 hours but its all worth while!
our bundle of joy, Chrystabelle Sng Jia En finally joins our family!
may god bless her to be a healthy and happy baby!
