Mei Mei

Finally, mei mei has arrived on 10 of nov to accompany KY. A day before her arrival, it was unusual morning where I noticed I pee in my pants uncontrollable at around 3am. My water bag burst. I was so panic and get myself a hot shower and a good hair wash before rushing to hospital thinking that I'll deliver any time. When I reached the EU, I was sent to the labour room. The nurse checked and the cervix was still not dilated. I was asked to wait for doctor. Around 7.30am, Dr. dropped by and checked. "No sign of contraction", WAIT. He gave me option WAIT or INDUCE. Since INDUCE=PAIN, i rather wait. I was advised to change to normal room and walk around to have faster dilation. All single rooms were taken and I had to share room with a Indian lady who watched loud Indian movies. Restless day... Nurse came around to check baby heartbeat almost every hour.

Around 3pm, my contraction started and I walked around to speed-up the dilation. The doctor came by around evening and checked my cervix was already dilated 5cm but he said that I might deliver early in the morning and asked to eat a good meal and took enough rest. I decided to change back to labour room since there is more quiet.

Waiting........ until midnight, the contraction was getting intense but the dilation only 6-7cm. After 24 hours wait, the pain was so unbearable, i was asked to lie on my side to get more contraction. Finally, I felt the urge to pass motion. I asked for nurse and she helped to massage my lower back to relieve the pain. Few minutes later, doctor came. As usual, they set-up the bed to make it easier for me to PUSH.

Suddenly, I was blurred. I mixed-up PULL & PUSH. I was supposed to pull the steel bar and push the baby out. I was confused. With two pushes, they could see the baby hair. Few more failed attempts, I was restless and asked doctor to help. Last try, I felt like tearing my vaginal apart and the baby head came out. I had to hold my breath then and the doctor was pulling the baby out. My husband was more daring this round, standing besides the doctor to watch the whole process. He cut the baby cord.

Mei Mei cried so loud after coming out. She played with her slyver and she spitted a lot. She was then cleaned-up and wrapped in a Hello Kitty cloth. The same evil nurse named her a "naughty girl" as she kicks a lot and easily get frustrated.
