Arrival of Prince Damien!

9-10am: Arrived at TMC's Delivery ward. Did the neccessary paperwork. Changed and strap on to CTG. Still at 3cm dilation with very mild or painless contractions.

10-10.30 am: My Gynae, Dr Khi came and broke my waterbag with her fingers!
Knowing contractions will hit me any time.. I asked if there is any Doctor (for injecting Epidural) in TMC at the moment (as they are not stationed in TMC).
If there is one there I would not call for Epi straight away. If not, I would have to call for one now as they would take at least 30 minutes to come.. by then, I would have died!

Nurses checked and told me no Doctor on stand by hence I quickily asked for Epi.

10.30 am- Contractions start kicking in. I requested for Laughing Gas. After much reading up, I finally grasp the concept of using the Gas. That is quickily breathe in when or rather before the pain sets in. But I doubt I would be able to do this that long, hence Epi would be a wiser choice for me to relax.

10.45 am- Epi Doc came and she took blardy 15min to get it done! She was a relief Dr and not the one I appointed. For Dillion, the Dr merely took a few minutes to get it done. This time round, it was eternity for me and now I think Laughing Gas was god-sent while waiting.

11 am: Epi took effect and could feel contractions getting milder till zilch. Nurses shoo Kevin off for lunch as they think IT MAY NOT BE THAT FAST!!


11.30 am: I was shivering from the side effect of Epi. I felt Damien pushing down and quickily call for the Nurses and Dr Khi. Kevin had to hurried back from his lunch.

11.45 am: Dr Khi arrived and everyone starts to get ready as the head can be seen

11.50 am: With a few easy pushes.. Damien was out!



Another light weight baby for me.. Weighing in at 2.47kg @ 37 week gestation:
