This is The Day!
9:30am
Reached Raffles Hospital level 8 maternity ward
My weight before delivery is 64.7kg. I had gained about 11+kg. Same as my previous pregnancy.
10:30am
Had the epidural. Really regretted not asking for the previous anaesthesist durig my previous delivery, that old, experienced Indian doctor who just jab me once & it's all done.
This time came a younger doc who inflicted much pain ... imagine being poked in the spine for 4 to 5 times! I was so much in pain then... and very scared! Knowing that the worst that may happen is paralysis!
Guess what? He said it's due to my spine being too narrow! Darn! Let's just say the fact is that he's too inexperienced.
12pm
Lunch is served. I chose fish porridge from the menu and it turned out to be so yummy that even hubby was singing praises for it long after my delivery. The fish simply melts in your mouth! The porridge taste like it's being cooked by some restaurant chef. It's just so good that makes me & hubby yearn for more.. hehe
3pm
Gynae came to break water bag. She says the water is quite clean & clear.
6pm
8cm dilated. No dinner til delivery is over.
8pm
Gynae arrives & said that I'm fully dilated! Finally! After about 4-5 pushes, baby is out! She cries almost immediately upon being delivered. When the nurse placed her in the incubator for the routine newborn checks, she could actually turn her head left & right to look around the room! What a curious little baby!
