feel the pain - at the bottom of the belly and the lower back... the pain started 2 days ago - make calls (Ask-A-Nurse-Service) to KKH to get their advice - cos not sure is it contraction pain - was told that the whole belly shall feel painful if it is a contraction...
feel the pain - still bearable - cos i thought to myself - if is a bearable pain, it shouldn't be contraction - contraction pain should be much more painful than what i feel then - should be 10 times painful than what i feel then.
feel tired and sleepy, plus the bearable pain - finally time for a tea-break - decided to head home - reached home, get my shorts and T, cos decieded to go over to mum's place in case anything happen - reached mum's place, changed into shorts and T - told mum i feel painful at the bottom of the belly and the lower back and feel sleepy - so went to sleep at ard 1pm...
woke up ard 2pm plus - told mum the pain is getting worse - mum ask me to call sis, dorothy, and see if she is able to come back to send me to KKH for a check - called dorothy, oh thanks GOD, she is at AMK Hub - so near yet so far - cos she is there for a event preparation - told her i'm in pain, need to go to KKH for a check.
called Dear at the same time - told him i'll be going to KKH - Dear will be there to meet us.
reached KKH around 3pm - the pain is getting more intense - proceed straight to the delivery suite at level 2 - get into lift - but forget to press 2 for level 2 - the lift went up level by level and down level by level - finally level 2 - registered at the registration counter - then went in for the check up.
Dear is on the way to KKH from his workplace... dorothy went in with me first - thanks GOD, sis is always there to give me support when my Dear is not around... was told by nurse that there is a "show" (blood show) and it is 5 to 6cm dilated... the pain is getting stronger... wheeled to the delivery room... heard "the husband is here" from a nurse... Dear is by my side... mum, sis and nephew wayne waiting outside...
3 of them still wiating outside - me? pushing and pushing inside lor... here comes Dr John Tee... told nurse to standby forceps...
Shaun is delivered at 1834 hrs with the help of forceps, poor boy, look at his face - i cried over this - but Dr John Tee said the mark will fade away - is superficials wound - no worries - but mummy heartpain... - oh yes, EDD (expected delivery date) was suppose to be today (01.10.07) :p
