17 October 2007, The Arrival of Our little Noutti

16 Oct 11pm: Admitted to TMC due to contractions...Check up at gynae's clinic at 7pm earlier and I was 2cm dilated and baby's head was engaged. Bladder and bowels were cleared.

17 Oct 12am: Waterbag was burst by gynae.

2am: 3cm Dilated. Pain was starting to get unbearable. Especially on the back. Could not move at all on bed.

3am: Epidural was administered. Afterwhich, I slept for about an hour.

4am: Nurse came in to check my dilation and I had already dilated to 8cm. Bladder was too full. Thus bladder was cleared by nurse.

415am: Full dilation. Gynae was called in.

430am: Gynae came. Started to ask me to push...Can't feel a thing due to the effect of epidural.

5am: Baby's heartbeat reduced. Forceps had to be used.

5.05am: Baby's First Cry could be heard...

Finally get to see our little prince after 5hrs of labour at Thomson Medical Centre. First reaction when nurse brought him into my arms: Oh my, really can't believe that I am finally holding on to Sean, after 38 weeks of waiting and counting down.

Thank God for my safe and smooth delivery...
