Morning: Still discussing wif daddy collin how I shld go 4 my medical appt. Finally decided to
send him 2 work then I drive myself 2 e hospital for my appt. Was still saying I wanna bring e car for a wash aft my appt before going home. Come to think of it, I actually drove till e
day I gave birth... ha ha Totally unprepared for wat was 2 come...
10.45am: 38 weeks medical appt wif Dr Ho (doing CTG).
Strapped to CTG machine for almost 45 mins to monitor BB's heartbeat & my
contractions.
11.30am: Went in for consultation wif Dr Ho, he told me that BB's heartbeat on e high side,
might hav complications. He advised me to take e BB out since already full term. Well,
I said ok, even ask him which day he wants to do it. Imagine my expression when he
said asap - as in immediately!!! He told me to check myself in to the hospital immediately.
12pm: Went to the delivery suite @ MAH. Requested 4 epidural as planned. Was glad 2 get
Dr Dicky Tay, he was damn good & made e whole epidural experience pleasant. Tried to
contact Daddy but he din pick up his phone. Sms him to bring my stuff 2 e hospital.
Finally got him ard 1+, ha ha... can't imagine his face when he realises that this was gonna
b it.
2pm : Dr Ho came to break my water bag. Check my dilation, was 1.5cm dilated.
5pm: Dr Ho came to check. Dilation was @ 4cm
7pm: Dr Ho came to check. Dilation was @ 8cm.
9pm +: Fully dilated, told 2 start pushing but unfortunately, I was too numb from e waist down.
Tried pushing but no effect. Meanwhile, BB's heartbeat started going up & down so I
was given oxygen. Dr Ho decided to vacuum the BB out. Set up equipment, BB was
vacuum out in less than 2 mins.
10pm +: Finally, BB Kayden announced his arrival by wailing his lungs out!!!
12am: Send to ward while BB was send for cleaning.
