Thank You Everyone for the well-wishes.
How are all the mummies doing?
following is my brief birth story...
8th aug
starting to have irregular lower back pain and anus pain.
frequency abt once or twice an hour.
was thinking baby pressing onto the nerves.. did not do anything abt it.. except to remain still when the pain strikes.
went taka baby fair to check out if any good bargains
9th aug
4+am very intense but irregular lower back pain and anus pain.
could not sleep.. so woke up tp read newspaper.
and kept asking baby shift a bit and pls do not press press on my nerves leh.
then husband and boy woke up abt 8am.
thinking no signs of national day baby... so went mcdonalds for breakfast.
then isetan scotts to get birthday gift for uncle.
sister's place for lunch... then mum's place to nua.
all these while feeling on/off quite unbearable lower back and anus pain.
and trying to freeze whenever the pain strikes.
then went uncle's place for dinner with the whole clan.
everyone asking why no national day baby.
7+pm, getting exhausted fm the pain. so suggest to husband we go home first.
9+pm, the lower back and anus pain getting more intense and regular and unbearable. called tmc to check if i should go down for a check.
burse says better to go over as seems like its labour pain.
shocked that lower back and anus pain is sign of on coming labour.
put the boy to bed and at the same time started to get tummy contactions at 10+pm.
boy finally slept and called sis and bil to come jagar maid and boy.
left for tmc at 11+pm.
timed contractions in the car and its 5 mins apart.
before reaching tmc, detoured (not for mac this time) cos not all the way and 5 mins apart contractions.
felt hungry so the husband went 7-11 to buy chicken essence and muffin and gobbled them up before turning into tmc.
10 aug
first thing when reach tmc was to ask nurse pls give me hapi-dural.
was sniffing the laughing gas like a drug addict before given hapi dural.
dr chong is good... so choc and giggler can ask for him to administer the hapi dural...
after hapi dural..can even sms and watch olypmics...
and was 3 cm dilated.
6+am, nurse says soon and called gynae.
gynae arrived and we joked etc.
and finally fully dilated and ready to push..
gynae was trying not to use forcep or vacuum and kept asking me to push and joking at the same time.
but after a while baby's heartbeat slowed and nurse kept pushing the oxygen mask. then gynae decided must use vacuum.
and saw gynae's face changed. no more jokes... and kept telling the nurse to push my tummy and ask me to push.
and gynae said baby's umbilical cord ard her neck tightly.
but luckily baby not affected and came out safe and sound.
have been busy with no.1 and no.2.
confinement lady went back yesterday afternoon and maid just came back fm home leave this morning.
when confinement lady left... my boy cried badly...
choc..say like yr girls leh.. but my boy cried also becos he thought the auntie going gai gai and he wants to follow.
auntie did not look back... luckily she did not... cos very malu.. i teared a little also...
now guiding my boy like a hawk... cos worried he will attack the sister.
the sister oredi kena pimch on the cheeks and forhead and poke in the eyes.. he even attempt to bite the sister.
now baby sleeping and the husband brought the boy to pil's place.
