The day my waterbag broke.....2906


So much for my planning...

On 2906 (thurs nite), i felt Athena has been unusually active. was talking to hubby and mentioned that mayb she was trying to turn... hahaa....


I was already in bed... then felt weird and thot i need to pee.. Who knows, the minute i left the bed (luckily), water started gushing out from "down under"... i screamed for fabian who was having a conf call in study room and start going thru my mind a list of things i need to do. He came running and we called the emergency line for my gynae. Luckily, he was still in hospital. With a towel in-between my legs (u can imagine the awkward position), we made our way to TMC. Along the way, i felt some contractions but not strong. As i was hanging on in the car, i keep telling hubby that i am not ready yet... hahaa...


When we were there, i was attended to immediately as my gynae has given the nurses instructions. Moreover, if my baby still in breech position, the c-sec will have to b performed immediately. Everything become a blurry as hubby left me to prepare for admission paperwork and the nurses prep me for the birth.


My gynae came and check on me and baby. Yes, she's still breech so we have to perform c-sec immediately. I have earlier indicate that i will opt for epidural so that hubby can be with me and we will see baby once she's out.


Hubby left to wash and dressed up for the surgery while i was pushed to the operating theatre. I was introduced to the aesthetician and i prepared to endure my epidural shot. Heard from pp tt it's very, very painful. Surprisingly... for me, it wasnt.....At that moment, i felt scared as hubby was not with me. I was all alone and i started praying....when hubby came in, i felt much better and i held his hands tightly. By then the epidural has taken effect and i no longer able to feel anything on my lower half of my body and the operation began...


To be frank, the operation took only 15 min... my baby was out at 0132am.... but the cleaning up and stitching took longer. Hubby was told to leave with baby while my gynae stitched me up. Wat an experience!!


Here's some baby's pictures.....
