The Days after D day

I was told when the anaestic finished at mid day, I'll start feeling the pain..and was forced by the nurse to go to step down off my bed and pee in the afternoon.

First step like wanna faint..and so scary, so much blood in the pee..

After lunch, I took a short rest..and requested KP to bring me to see my baby in NICU at the visiting hours..I missed the morning visiting hour, cos I still could not get up from bed...I creeped all the way there..and was praised by the nurse that I'm doing not badly? I guessed that's the mother's nature..suddenly will become real strong for the baby!

I finally got to see Jared..He was small, with all the needles on his fingers and toes..I'm so heart pained..But I wasn't sad anymore lah..so was bz taking pics there with our hp and cameras..hehe..

The days after that turned out well..But was again heart broken when PD Dr. Keoy told me that baby can't go home with us. Immediately I started crying non-stop..rejected all friends visit.

But on the day morning I checked out, I was thrilled when the nurses from NICU told me that Jared could go into nursery now..but need to stay another night due to jaundice. We decided that I'll leave for home first, coz nothing much I could do there..no milk leh..

I remembered when Jared discharged it was already Wed, daddy took half day leave and off my MIL and mum with us to TMC to pick him up. So happy and excited..

After that my days revolved around breastfeed and the kiasu me trying all sorts of method to increase my supply hehe..

The D Day

Was forced to admit into hospital by everyone around, as I was having high fever. Kee Ping called Dr. Ang, he said 20% of chance the we may have infection, so why risk when 100% chance baby came out would be healthy.

So around 8pm+, Kee Ping drove me and my parents to the hospital. Make the registration and settled down in my "hotel" room. hehe.. We took the 1 bedder with a bunker bed for Kee Ping. The room is very comfortable doesn't look like hospital at all.

Dr. Ang came around 10+, checked on bb heart beat, which was 200+ at that time..Gave me a jab to lower my body temp...and at the same time he gave us 30mins to consider if we want to have c-section, since he need to go and do another delivery. He came back again in about 20mins later, so we told him the decision. And of the nurses came to help me prepare..start shaving my down under..dressed me in the green robe..and pushed me to the surgery room. Before Dr. Ang left, he reminded Kee Ping to bring along the camera..Nice doctor! We are delighted as usually emergency c-section does not allowed Hubby to go in together. But Dr Ang was really kind..

I was so scared. But the nurses are really kind..They told me, nothing to scared off..in half an hours time, you can see your baby already!

I was pushed into the surgery room..I must said completely different from what I expect again..It's a very big and bright room..From tv, i thought it would be quite dark..The anaestic came to inject epidural for my lower half body..Pain was tolerable..I felt I've gone to heaven at that moment..cos I was feeling really uncomfortable with the contractions.

Then Dr. Ang came in to cut me, just before he was ready to bring out the baby..KP can come in..So he stayed by me, while Dr. Ang "press" out the bb with anaestic Dr. 's help. Jared was born at 10.44pm.

We heard the baby's cries..so touched..Kee Ping followed the nurse to checked on the fingers, toes..and all the way to settled down with the baby.

Dr. Ang continued to stitch my wound..take about another 15-20mins..Then I was pushed back to my room..waited quite a long while for KP to come back into our room again..

When KP came in, I asked him if we should called the families..he didn't answer..Instead he asked me guess where is the baby?..I was shocked to know that he's in NICU!!..Broke into tears immediately..and we didn't call anyone..Neither could I hug my baby, I could only see his pictures from the camera..

Most miserable time in the pregnancy

On 8th Nov approx 8.15am, just when I had just finish our daily lot status review. While waiting for the rest to get ready for breakfast, I wanted to collect my printout.

Suddenly I felt a gush of water flowing...my instint told me that my water bag has burst..but I'm only 33->34 weeks. To be exact, it was on Tues, baby will only turn 34 weeks on that friday.

Called hubby, and he immediately rush over from company. While waiting for him to arrive...manage to give Doctor Ang a called. He asked us to go to hospital to meet him. As it was office hour, there was jam along PIE..on the way, doctor called again to ask about ah b's weight etc and asked us to reach the hospital by 9am.

The journey from company to TMC took approx half an hour...got myself into delivery room, change into blue robes ...and nurse help to put on CTG to monitor contractions and baby heart beat. After a long wait, approx 10am Dr. Ang finally reach.

Dr. Ang first explained if we were to be deliver the baby by that day, most probaly he will admit us to KK so that we wont suffer from high NICU cost. He did a check with 1 finger into my vagina to check cervix. Luckily cervix no dilation. So he told us the aim is to delay the delivery for 2 weeks. I was given ventolin drip and steroid injection-to help bb's lung mature and prevent contractions.

Was sent to 2 bedder room although we only booked a 4 bedder. The two day there was so miserable and dirty...1st time pee pee on bed with help of nurse...no bath are allowed....

Discharged on Thurs, 10th Nov. Move back to stay with my parents...since then I've felt much better.

Tomorrow ah b will turn 35 weeks, and we've got an appointment with Dr. Ang. Hope ah b has grown much more than last week (2.1kg at 34 week). and also hopfully we can delay ah b's arrival till 36 week.

Ah b, you must be strong and hang in there ok!
