To continue my story.. to my giving birth experience.
On 20th may 2011, I woke up at 6.30am to actually have a last good bathe before heading down to Thomson Medical to receive my lil prince. He was an overdue baby, he was 40weeks & 4 days old.
Left the house at 7am as we had to reach the hospital by 7.30am to do the administration and other paper work. I was scared, wondering if I am brave enough to go through this. I have always been afraid of pain, be it when I was younger or now. I would always cry when I feel helpless.
Warded into the observation room, the nurse came in and actually inserted some liquid stuff into the buttock and told me its best if I can wait for 5 mins before going to the toilet to shit. I was still thinking 5 mins only, shouldnt be a problem. But within 3mins, I couldnt take it and ran to the toilet as fast as I could, the feeling was the same as having a diarrhea. And completed my business and headed back to bed and wait for my doc to arrive.
She came in only at 8.30am and told me that I was only 1cm dilated. I was like OMG! how long more am I suppose to wait?! (Just for non mothers, you have to be 10cm dilated before being able to give birth.) So Dr Tan inserted a pill into my vagina, just so that it could speed up my dilating process, and I was left to rest.
Shortly after the doc left, I started having contractions and I told myself to sleep and not be bothered of the surrounding just so to not feel the pain. I guess it was 10 or 11am before the nurse brought me into the delivery room. The pain was starting to be unbearable, the feeling was like having mensual cramp x1000000.
At 2pm, Dr Tan came back into the room and check my cervix and broke my waterbag, and as my cervix only opened another 1cm after 6hrs of waiting I decided to take epidural. The pain is beyond words, imagine a thick needle being inject into your spine and not feeling pain but relieved! Thats how much pain I was experiencing to not feel that needle pain.
I took my nap and slept for the next 4hrs+, Dr Tan came in at 6.30pm and mentioned that we can prepare for delivery, guess after the jab I was pretty relaxed and slept throughout thus the cervix manage to open faster? As I was still on epidural, I couldnt feel a single thing from waist down, for a moment it sucks to be half paralysed. Waited for the husband to be back before we started pushing, as he went out to take a call.
Within 10mins of pushing and with the help of Vacuum, Kayler was out!!! It wasnt easy, especially how I cant feel my tummy and I dont even know if I am pushing the right thing. The moment the lil man came out he cried for a good 15mins! Dr Tan was saying how angry he was cause we were disturbing him. HAHA.
The man went out with the nurse to check out Kayler's weight & height while Dr Tan stitch me up, I still cant feel anything cause the numbness was still there. After awhile they sent me back to the room to rest, as the single bedded was fully booked (Yes, Tell me about it! I will book my single bed for my next pregnancy) I had to make do with 2 bedded room, felt really irritated that evening as I couldnt feel my leg at all and my butt was feeling rather tired but yet I cant move it :/
My inlaws, mum, bro, sis in law, Junying & Sean came to visit me & the newly arrive prince. But they had to wait till 10pm before having the baby pushed in as the nurses needed to clean the baby up before being able to push them into the mother's room. And so, cos I didnt get to have a single bedded room, the man needa secretly stay back and accompany me. He slept on the hard chair that was provided for visitors while I slept on the bed that night. Even so, we didnt get to sleep that night, the women beside me was SNORING so damn loud. It was sooo bad that both me & the hus got woken up a few times and wanted to inform the nurse for a switch in room, but cos the hus was secretly staying back I decided to just keep quiet and wait for the next day.
The next day, I managed to get a single bedded room thus I change into it. Friends & relatives came to visit me and see the lil one. All were looking at him and no 1 dared to carry him, i guess cos he was pretty small & fragile.
That sums up my giving birth process, and embark into my next stage of life. Motherhood. I cant actually say much but somehow, after being a mum I understand why our parents are always nagging and screaming at us. And yes, I have changed alot. I believe alot of my closed friends can be witness of this, I was a pretty playful girl in the past but now Im only thinking of my future and how to give Kayler a better environment for everything.
To those that actually read my post, thank you! but to those that actually only wanna see pictures, stay tuned to tml post den. hehe^^
Love,

Bits & pieces about me
A surprise post for the readers. Decided to get off topic and talk something abit more personal about me and of cause I know there are quite a few of young readers here and would really love to hear this story. Its gonna be quite a wordy post, I do hope this post helps a little for mum to be or preparing you to be a mum.
Lets start off with me being pregnant.
As most readers/customers have known, Im a young mummy. Am only turning 23 in sept 2013. And of cause I aint gonna hide the fact that I was pregnant before getting married.
Everyone asked me how I actually handled it when I found out. All I can say was, I was lost, blinded by love & happy.
Just so to let you all know more about my r/s with my hubby, we were really happy during his NS period and yes it isnt hard for us as he was a commando and he only gets to book out on sats and have to book in on sun which was only a day of meeting (where got enough?) And there are times where by he needa have guard duty and not being able to book out. Than, there are times whereby he needa travel overseas for his 1 mth training.
I thought things would have gotten better after NS but no. University was the most challenging part of our R/S. As most of my customers would have know, I quit sch at the age of 16 just so to follow my heart and work as a manicurist at Far East Plaza. (Not really a good example) So, I was pretty unsure of my r/s as why would a grad wants some1 this dumb :/
And yes, true enough we broke up once he got into uni, reason being he wanted his freedom and have time to concentrate on his studies but of cos I found out he was actually going out with girls -.-
I actually tried ways to forget him but no, I still couldnt. We got back together after seperating for a mth plus to only realise I was pregnant. I didnt know what to do at first, Happy cos I ever went to a doc and he told me I only had 20% to being pregnant and fact was I thought I could marry the guy I loved (blinded by love -.-) Lost, cos I was only 20 still pretty immature in thinking and didnt know if I could be a good example for my baby.
After lotsa discussions with family members & friends. We decided to not kill the innocent life and gives my son a perfect family. We got married on the 28thNov2010.
Throughout my pregnancy times I felt I was going to die, I still had to go to work.(working in an office at that moment of time) My morning sickness came only when I was 2 mths preggy and it was really bad. I vomitted every single morning. Even if I had water I will puke the water out. Every morning, my office toilet is my best friend. Would run to the toilet just to puke whatever I have eaten. And if I dont eat, I puke my gastric fluid out. :/ Thats how bad I had to handle everyday.
Things when on till I was 4 months preggy. Things got better cause the vomitting stopped, but thats when my brain when crazy. Randomly scolding people (My husband), its like PMS but far worst. You cant seem to control what is happening, you get reminded of sad stuff than you will start crying. It was like a roller coaster ride during pregnancy and Im glad its finally over.
It finally came to a time whereby everything in the world was agaiinst you and your confidence seems to be the lowest during that period guess thats the reason why Husbands plays a good role of keeping the wife happy nd giving her whatever she wants during that period (or best throughout their relationship).
I didnt had much cravings, felt hungry more often. My 1st 2 months I was basically in need of fastfood, anything with fries or burgers will curb my craving. Den came 5th mth onwards, my love for ice cream grew I had to have a tub of ice cream everynight before I sleep and once in awhile in need of meaty food (bak kut teh, kway chap, steak etc.). I used to like having kois before preggy but I actually hated bubbletea during preg somehow I cant even finish a small cup of it.
Went for monthly checkups till the day I was due on 16thMay2011 but my lil boy still didnt want to come out thus doc gave him extra 4 days before inducing him. Shall talk about my giving birth process the next time round.
Soooo sorry to those that are here for pictures but I kindda felt I should pen this down so as to let more people understand about going through pregnancy & labour.
Love,
Trina
