28th February 2009:
3am plus: Hubby woke me up because he can't get to sleep.
So i woke up and accompany him.. we chatted and chatted.
I felt some painful contractions..
told him about it and we timed together.
4am: The timing is rather irregular.. so we took it as false alarm. Tried to get some sleep instead.
4.30am: Can't get to sleep at all.. the pain is still there.
Went to the living room and have a sit hoping the pain will go off.
Out of the sudden, felt a gush of water below. Knew that it's not right.
went to the toilet to check.
Water bag burst -.- told hubby about it.
He prepared with everything while i went to have a long bath..
After my shower, pack my hospital bag =x and hubby drove me over to KKH.
Time admitted, 5am: Reached KKH with intense contractions every 2 minutes intervals.
Went up to the delivery suite straight.
Have to sign some paper.. and was brought to the delivery ward.
Coincidently, the delivery ward is the same ward i went when i delivered baby Phoebe..
Ward 12 =) haha!
this is how the delivery ward look like.
did not take a picture of it. so the picture above is taken from kkh's site. it's the same one i've been to. just more neat only.. lol!
5am - 6.30am: Requested for epidural at first..
but must wait for my gynae, Dr Irene Chua to arrive.
Have to bear with the contractions till she arrived.
Very painful.. and disgusting feeling =x
hubby kept encouraging me to tolerate and "sayang" me.
Try using the laughing gas.. works but still pain!!
at about 6 something..
Dr Irene Chua finally came.. felt happy and relieve when i saw her. Because i know i'm gonna feel more relax soon... hehehe.
she did VE and i've dilated 4cm. btw, the contraction pain is much much more painful than doing VE lor =\
Next, Dr Chua put me on drip as i'm taking epidural.
then, the anaesthetist doctor came.
he injected for me.
About 5 minutes later, the contractions pain were numb off.
6.30am - 7.15am: Totally can't feel any pain.
Feeling very relax.. chit-chatted with hubby and watch cartoon network together.
Felt very intense pain at around 7.
Even though i've already took epidural i could still pain.
thought that the epidural dose have finished.
Asked hubby to check, he say still quite full.
Nurse just told me because baby's head descending that's why.
But still, the pain cannot be compared without epidural.. without epidural is really painful -.-
Check dilation, 8cm already! damn fast.
7.15am - 7.35am: The pain got more and more intense accompany with a strong urge of pushing feeling every minute interval.
Check dilation, fully dilated already.
Was told by nurse to practice pushing first only when i feel the pain.
if i'm not wrong i think this stage is called "crowning".
Have to wait for my gynae to arrive too..
therefore, i was not allow to start the real push yet.
7.35am - 7.46am: Dr Irene Chua finally came.
The nurse and her prepared everything for baby's arrival first.. then was my turn.
Dr Chua guided me to push.
Start the real push.. and guess what?
took just about 5 minutes with only 1 push, baby's out =D
Lastly, hubby cut baby's umbilical cord =)
Hubby have decided to change our 2nd daughter's name to, Charlene ♥

Stayed in the delivery ward till 9am plus.
Was wheelchair up to my ward after that..
hubby immediately slept on the sofa bed when he reached the ward while i watch tv..
can't get to sleep at all.
A nurse came in and did a small ward orientation talk with me.
Then chose the food of my choice for my hospital stay.
