2nd time Mummy
December 13th, 2007 by leecandyAround 14 Nov- had a weird dream, someone told me to read The Bible - Duetronomy… I awoke wondering if there was such a chapter. dismissed the dream and carried on doing some last minute preparation for baby’s arrival.
17 nov - checkup at gynae… he said quite likely have to go c-section cos i’m not dilated. we were a little disappointed as I was reluctant to be under the knife again.. for some reason. was told to return for another checkup on 19 nov, 5.30pm. Went home, told the Hubby about the dream, he told me to find that chapter and read it. Tried to read it but not getting any enlightenment. so i quietly told baby to decide how he’d like to borne. Meanwhile, some friends of mine are concerned my baby was overdue…lol
19 nov, 5.30am - at last, i had some symptoms of labour. called gynae and went to clinic at 10am. was told to admit hospital at 10.30pm. Me and Hubby decided to spend some quality time, we went to watch Beowolf. While my Mum’s was fretting at home, thinking I’ll go into labour anytime.
20 Nov 12.30am - finally admitted to Thomson Medical. Contraction had started and I was gripping to the bed rail every hour when the cramps start. By the time I was at labour ward at 12pm, contraction had shorten to every 15 min. I was considering to have C-section but Hubby Alex said that I had already tolerated for more than 12 hours, we should go ahead for the birth. HE TOLD ME TO PRAY. By then, I could only call for Jesus, dunno what to pray anymore. My hubby then played a Kylie Minogue’s song that i listened to for jogging. It’s kind of funny cos I started "seeing " Jesus with a very sexy Kylie… lol. Then gynae came. Conversation went like this:
Gynae: oh at least now u not smiling (i was grinning whenever he came to see me at the hospital, to the extent that he said i don’t look like delivering baby)
Me: frowning
Nurse: Mother’s in distress, dilation 3cm
Gynae: distress is good, be patient.. still long way to go. maybe afternoon.
And then he’s Gone with Wind!
Me thinking ‘ Wa lao eh!’
When the contractions shorten to every 3mins and Baby Nicholas couldn’t wait to be borne, I was holding on to Alex’s hand and the oxygen mask for life AND I remember "calling" "Jesus come, tell Nicholas to wait!" in my head.
When Nicholas was finally borne at 3.26pm, Alex and I made a V sign. We were both very happy and exhilarated that the actual delivery was very smooth and Nicholas was healthy. It’s a very special experience because we went through it together. This birth has brought Alex and I closer together.
As for the pain, it’s all over after the delivery and what’s left is a Little Angel from God to warm our hearts.
Still….anyone can enlighten me on Deuteronomy?
