Hey ladies! Just came back from the hospital today. Thanks for the well-wishes. =)
My birth story as follows on 11.11.2009:-
5.30am tummy pain go toilet poo poo. 2 small pieces. =p Pain still kept coming back but can tahan. Thinking to go clinic at 10am to get more prenatal vitamin and ask gynae if baby coming out soon.. really sian of waiting le...
6.00am Pain intensity got worse and frequent. Thought maybe that was it. Went to bathe. Have to make use of the short intervals to wash myself.
6.30am Called my gynae but he didn't pick up the call. Saw my mum and told her. Saw my hubby's slight opened eyes so also told him about the pain. His first reaction "You got go poo poo or not?" (Aftermath, he told me at that moment of time, he wanted to go back to sleep"!)
6.45am Pain really bad, ask my hubby to call the gynae and his father to pick me up. He sounded really calm so think the gynae was asking him for more detail. I just snatched the phone from him and told the gynae I'm in great pain and was asked to go to the hospital right away.
7.00am Was screaming away at every contraction under the void deck. My hubby called again to hurry my brother-in-law. (Father-in-law couldn't make it as he was with a passenger at Changi Airport in his cab)
7.15am Brother-in-law finally arrived with my mother-in-law, his wife and baby son. Think my hubby was too calm when telling them the news thus they thought I will probably be giving birth at noon and took abit of time in getting to me. Throughout the journey, I had really fast and furious contractions. Mid journey, kept wanting to push at every contraction. Can even feel baby's head at the birth canal at the end of the push. Really have to thank my brother-in-law for his super gungho driving skill. He used the road shoulder due to morning traffic jam, drove at max legal speed, superb change lanes skill and have 2 near accidents! Also have to thanks my sister-in-law(who was sitting beside me, hubby sat in front) for letting me crushed her delicate hand. I nearly bite her lor!
7.40am Finally reached TMC. Nurses are changing shift but stopped to help. I was helped onto a wheelchair and my hubby pushed me to the lobby. On the way there, baby's head crowned but my hubby and the nurse couldn't seem to make the wheelchair elevator work! Nurses ran to get help and towel.
7.45am Baby's whole body came out onto the wheelchair! Hubby was shouting for help while holding on to the baby. Think he was really in shock. Heard the first cry amidst the chaos and I finally felt a sense of relief. Haha!
8.30am Gynae finally free to come and sew me up. 2.5 inch! Was given 2 jabs in the thigh and laughing gas. Apparently he had 2 operations before me thus the unanswered call. Was kind of get scolded by him and the nurses as they said I should be admit to the hospital at the first sign of pain, especially this is my #2. But no one told me what?!
As it was a hot date, TMC was fully booked and I was given a aircon spoilt room in the morning but managed to transfer to a nicer room in the afternoon.
Regarding the delivery fee, think they said they can't charged us for the delivery package as I kind of deliver outside. Not sure about the final cost though as my gal still have yet discharge due to jaundice. Hopefully can pick her up tmr.
I'm now at home enjoying the nice confinement food from Natal Essential. Btw, heard from the massage lady Ida that she won't be using her sister for her client's massage as she did not follow her instruction and received alot of complains. So she will be doing my massage herself. Yeah!
