Arrival of Princess Adore

Adore was 5 days late (EDD 23rd Jun) Dr Sim asked us to go and see her on a Monday if there is still nothing happen during the weekend. We reach the hospital about 8.30am went to see Dr Sim, got on the bed for CTG test, however Dr Sim said wait till she checked on me. I'm told that I've dilated 3cm already so can straight away be admitted but will be on drip to make the contraction faster.

Pushed to the labour ward with many other mothers waiting for their turn to deliver. Tf went to do my admission, my mum went to Kaigen to send prayers to me, my whole group of wonderful Urbanz sent their regards to me via Tf. Everyone is praying for me, isn't it great to have such a wonderful friends? Of cos till now we still contact, me aren't going to lose them for life.

Nurses came in and got me shaved, injected the medicine for me to clear my bowel. I'm told to hold for at least about 15mins before going to the toilet but me bearly 10mins already rushed to clear whatever I've have. Trust me after clearing I'm so so hungry. I'm really very fortunate, once Tf got my admission done he's allowed into the room unlike the rest of their husband.

After a short while nurses said I can go to the labour room already, that's when all the mix feelings of excitement, anxiety & fear. Instead of pushing me the nurses told me to walk which will be much faster. So in the room, nurses got the CTG machine on me making sure Adore is doing fine inside me. Nurses also got me on drip, extra medicine somemore. By then it's late morning already. Tf & myself got excited with the things inside the room, we turned on the TV and looked around @ the equipment, played a lil' with them.

By about 12pm, I guess Tf must be hungry so told him to go ahead for his lunch since my contractions were not here yet. Who knows immediately after he left, my contractions came. It got more & more pain when he's back, no matter how the nurses asked me if I want epi I gave them a firm "NO". Pain & hunger overwhelmed me....contractions come & go, come & go till about 3pm I really cannot take it...I can feel myself tearing apart. This time Tf went ahead to get the nurse to ask for the Dr for epi. I felt very useless but I guess that's the only way I can gain back all my energy. Can you imagine taking epi got to sign by me & me already in such great pain. I doubt my signature looks like the normal one I always sign.

During the injection I were struggling so hard everyone around got to hold me down. I felt like crazy woman, really very much like one. However, after the injection I really feel the pain just 'blink' away like magic. Again epi that was given to me was extra dose. You can imagine my hospital bills now!!!

About 4pm one nurses came to ask me to try pushing but I can't. No strength cos of hunger and also I can't feel anything because of the epi. So in fact getting the epi don't know if it's a good thing or not. I tried to push & push still can't get Adore out. By about 5pm the nurse got Dr Sim to come. Nurse told Dr Sim "See after an hr of pushing still like this", aiyo...I really felt very bad. Dr Sim didn't give up still continue to tell me to push. After another 2 pushes really can't, Dr Sim said she will forcep Adore out because she's lacking of oxygen already. Hahaha.....I don't know how much injection Dr Sim put so that when she cut me I can't even feel the pain. @ 5.25pm at last Adore's cries can be heard. You know what's the 1st thing I asked? "Adore got hair boh?" hahahah....


Adore is so unlike the rest of the baby. She opened her eyes immediately, can't wait to see this wonderful world. She has a pair of beautiful eyes just like his daddy.
