So anyway, a quick update on what happened after this post...
Went to sleep then at 12 plus was suddenly hit by a contraction, the ward nurses hooked me onto the CTG and my contractions were coming quickly, 30min apart, 20min, then 10min apart by 0130h, ward nurses made the decision to send me back to the delivery suite...
I was 4-5cm dilated, contractions came fast and furious, decided to go ahead with epi, and was administered by 4ish. Managed to sleep and woke up at 5.55am by the nurse, asking me to call my hubby cuz I was 7cm dilated! By 7.30am, Dr Tham arrived and I was 9cm dilated, but bb still quite high up, so waited till 9plus and fully dilated for more than an hour before I started pushing. After an hour, Dr Tham came, decided on vacuum and he was out after 2 last pushes at 11am on the dot. 2.745kg at 44cm.
Unfortunately bb wasn't breathing v well so PD sent him to NICU, where he was placed on oxygen therapy for 4 days. (
@PTB7674, May have seen your bb at NICU on Friday morning)!! I was discharged on Boxing Day Friday but was traveling to and from TMC twice each day to see bb and to bring my ebm for him. So in between traveling, pumping milk, getting the nursery ready, entertaining the parents who was preparing my confinement food (kind of contradictory cuz they keep asking me to rest), it was madness, really. Good thing is bb was discharged on Monday so can take care of him at home...
My CL arrived yesterday so I can take a breather. So far so good... Let's hope it remains thus way!!
Happy New Year mummies all of you made it for SG50. I don't have a SG50 baby, but I have a Christmas Eve baby instead...

Can't believe he is now a week old. I spent the last of 2014 and beginning of 2015 pumping milk. How our lives have changed compared to a year ago...
