Alrighty! Thou its already old news, but let me do a recap of the birth of my Ah Boy.
I reached TMC on 09.07.09 with mummy and Ah Meng by 05.30AM.
We 'checked in' to my bedroom where i will spend the next few days confined on it.
Then I was prepared for the operation...
Lying on the operation bed, my Anesthesia Doc Tay convinced me to do a Epidural instead of GA.
It was a struggle... but eventually with of course Ah Meng support i took up epidural.
I had to curl up tightly so that the Anesthesia Doc could inject it to my back. With my big tummy, having to even bend my leg is a difficulty, but the nurse did assist to help me.
I told Doc not to tell me what he is going to do but JUST Do it!
It WAS REALLY an awful experience.
After that was Showtime for MY Gynae Doc A L Lim , he was busy cutting me apart.
He tried extracting baby out, but he had to cut me a little wider as baby refuse to come out! Ah Meng said he actually saw my intestine! Gross!
Doc Tay help to push baby out from my stomach while Doc Lim catch him thru the cut.
Here it is. But my dear gynae was still holding onto a pair of scissor wor... Soon after, Doc Tay was happily helping us take photos while float on the bed semi-consciously while Doc Lim stich me up. The 'sewing' was slower then the cutting part...
Baby Elgin weighs 3.275KG and 49cm long born 09.07.09 @ 8.36am!
AFter 3 nights in TMC confined on this bed, i say bye-bye to it on 12.07.09 afternoon and brought gin-gin home!
Today, > a week after birth of Elgin, i feel stronger now. Initially, i feel breatheless and giddy constantly. Mum said i look like piece of sheet. I was literally floating around at home. Even my bro barely tolerate me. haha
Anyhow, i went back to Doc Lim for check-up, he said i walk too much and need more rest and fish. I also had remove my stiches. Saying its a cut was an understatement. It was almost 20cm long! Holy Shit! Thats one bloody long cut of my life!!
Anyway to sum up these 10months of pregnancy and half-way confinement, i was depressed frequently. Due to the pain, the discomfort, the inconvenient!
I'm proud i pull thru.
Here i am, with an ADORABLE son!
