Finally after staying at my mummy's womb for the past 8 months, I'm able to see this big world with my own eyes!
My Dramatic Labour
16th July 2007
Mummy & Daddy visited Dr Karolyn Goh for another checkup and was told that Mummy cervix has already opened ard 3cm - 4cm. She asked Mummy if she wants to admit to hospital tomorrow morning for an induced labour. Mummy & Daddy was thinking of prolong the pregnancy but was told not necessary since I'm already 38wks old and ready for the world.
Mummy & Daddy then agreed to have an induced labour on 17th July 2007 and guess what this is the date which Mummy & Daddy officially become man & woman...It's their actual ROM day except that it's on Year 2003 hehe..
17th July 2007 - 8:30am
Mummy admitted to labour suit and was all prepared for the dramatic journey. Mummy then requested for an epidural (last minute chicken out) hehe..
After the epidural, mummy suddenly was shivering all around and was very cold. Mummy also felt giddiness and weak. Mummy cried as she is feel so uncomfortable with the shivering and was worried that she might be too weak to deliver. She does not want to have a C-section as she's afraid of the after effect recovery. The nurses are so kind & helpful to provide mummy with extra blanket and also warmed up the glucose so that it will warm her body
Luckily after half an hour or so, mummy was back to normal and she no longer shivering and feel cold. Dr Karolyn visited mummy again and broke the waterbag and start inducing....Which started my journey...
Waited & Waited from 9:30am till 11plus, mummy was getting abit tired & impatient. She keep asking daddy how come her labour is so long as compared to some mummies who are able to deliver within few mins. Daddy of cos couldn't really answer her qns so just tell her it's very individual. Mummy could feel slight pain and this time round, it was on her left side. My Jie Jie time, mummy feel extreme pain on her right side.
Ard 12 noon, Dr Karolyn visited mummy again and checked to see if her cervix has open till 10cm. Suddenly Dr Karolyn shouted "The baby head has already drop down!"...
Labour really started.......
This time round, mummy only required 3-4 push and here I am!!!!
It was then 12:20PM..
My birth weight: 2465gm
My length: 47.5cm
My HC: 31.5cm
