Another new webisite for 2009... =)
Let me update you readers with the latest...
Last Friday,I did not go to work due feeling a lil discomfort...Of which I've been experiencing for the past few days...And also,I'm having my 37th weeks check up on that very day at 1500hrs...I woke up as usual..Hubby was suppose to report to work after my check up for OT.Woke up,showered and got changed to grab something to eat b4 the check up....We end up having Mcdons at Bedok....
I register myself at the clinic as usual and waited patiently for my turn....Played my PSP while waiting...When it was my turn,we both went in as usual and doc got me to lie down for the usual scanning...Hubby stood beside me...I was surprise when the doc said,"Oooo...I cannot see the baby's head...Its way too low..."...So I mentioned to her that I've been having discomfort for the past few days as though the baby's head pushing out...She decided to have a VE to see whether my cervix is open....I wasn't thinking of anything cos my edd is March 6th...Its still way too soon,isn't it?The doc checked and guess wha,folks???My cervix is 5CM OPEN!!!!!! The doc advised me to proceed to the hospital right after the check up...I was stunned cos I didn't expect it to be this early...Not even Hubby...I looked at Hubby and said,"Oh No! Its coming!"...Hubby smiled and said that everything's gonna be alrite...
Upon receiving the shocking news,the 1st person I called was my good fren...To inform that I'm delivering the very day...GOSH!You should hear my fren's voice...He was surprised and thought I was joking...But then I said,"I am going to the hospital and will update you of anything..."...Then I called my family and they gave the same reaction...*SURPRISE*!....LOL!!!
Hubby and I then drove off to East Shore...I started to feel the contractions but it wasnt that bad....Reached ESH around 1645hrs and was direct to go to the delivery suite right away...Got changed and settled down in bed,feeling excited,nervous...I opted for normal delivery WITH epidural without 2nd thoughts cos I am so afraid of pain...LABOR PAIN...The midwife came and gave a second VE and its 6CM dilated....She asked me again if I still want to go with the epidural....Cos she said by the time the epidural's processing,I might be already in labor...I asked Hubby and he said,"Lets try Normal w/o Epidural"...He sounded so assuring so I said OK....Contractions come n go...I had the gas bit by bit...Took pix and laughed with Hubby...
Dr Heng came around 1715hrs,and burst my water bag...And I waited....And this is when the LABOR PAIN which I've been hearing started....This time the mask was on the whole load of time...I was in great pain that I started to cry....The pain got so bad that the midwife gave me a painkiller jab on my thigh....By that time,I was like,"Aaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!PAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!"....All I could remember is grabbing Hubby's hand till it turned white...He caressed my head and asked me to breathe in and out....I can't talk...All I did was looked up at Hubby and shook my head...signalling to him that the pain was unbearable...Dr Heng came in again and did a last VE and she said,"If u feel like pushing,just do it...Its high time..."...The moment I hear that I start to push with all my might...And OMG!!!!!!The pain is REAL PAIN!!!!!!I know I screamed as I pushed...I dun give a damn who is next to me or whatsoever....
Without knowing,I hear Dr Heng's said the baby's out and put the baby on me....And Hubby kissed my forehead and said its all done.... Phew!! 13th Feb 2009 @ 1850hrs,weighing 2.67kg,QYFLIE RAFAEL, was born....Allhamdullillah!!!!!!!!!
I was doubly surprised when Dr Heng said that I dun need any stiches cos I wasnt snipped.Allhamdullillah!!!!As i got cleaned up,I started to text friends about this news....Hubby called our family to inform them as well... =) ...I was moved to the normal ward at around 2130hrs...By then my family can only see the baby thru the nursery glass.Too late lah....
Now almost coming to a week,everything's well..Both mummy and baby...I'm recovering well and trying to lose some weight during this confinement period...Baby is doing well as well,just a slight jaundice...
A new addition to the family....QYFLIE RAFAEL...
Will try to post pics when time permits yeah....
For now,Z signing out......Cheers!
