Our Baby Leanne.. Welcome to Lau's Family

Welcoming Baby Leanne to Our Family...

Early at 5am, nurse had waken me up to check my body pressure and the baby heartbeat. After that, doctor came and invited me to a room to check me. That time, I didn't felt any contraction at all. I'm feeling good but doctor said I had open to 5cm and can get myself prepared and transferred me to the 'ready for delivery' room. At there, I can see lots of female chinese doctor working at there and I feel relief because if anything happen, at least got people to consult or asking for help.

Inside the preparation room, I've got my personal doctor and nurse who look after me cause I'm a special case for them so I need to be watched everytime. By then, doctor checked me again and said I had open to 7cm. That time is at 9am and she broke my water tube inside my tummy so that I can feel the contraction and injected me. After that, doctor asked me to transferred to the delivery room and that time I feel very nervous and excited also. Nervous, scared because I don't like pain and excited because baby will come out anytime. 

I can feel the contraction every each 3 minutes and I keep on praying and talking to our baby Leanne to be cooperate with me during the delivery but still I can't stand with the contraction and is really painful. It hurt until 10am I screamed and asked for doctor help. I told doctor that I don't want to delivered in natural way and I wanted to do caesarean at once but doctor advised me that natural way is better than caesarean. That one of course everyone knew that but I really can't stand up that kind of pain. For those who are not mother won't know the pain. 

At the meantime, I remembered my colleague, Nancy who also delivered in natural way on March this year to a baby girl said she stand up to 12 hours contraction and I keep on telling myself that I too can do it but I just can stand until 12pm and doctor said I just open to 8cm. I really can't stand the baby contraction and force to push her out. Doctor feel surprise and said they can see the baby's head already and asked the nurse to be well prepared for delivery. 

Nearly 10 people includes doctor and nurse watching my delivery cause they scared that my previous scar will effected my delivery. Doctor consulted me on the baby pushing and push the baby if feel any contraction but don't keep on pushing cause will make myself feel tired and exhausted. So I just relax first until the contraction comes I use all my strength to push my baby girl out. I make my try for at least 5 times and at last our baby Leanne comes out.

By then I felt like I lost my big watermelon inside me, and my whole body felt very tired, lost my strength, no more energy even adjusting my body to a better direction on the bed. Doctor was very happy and congratulated me on my new born baby girl. They said she was very cute and lovely. I saw nurse taking baby Leanne to the cleaning room to clean her up and my part haven’t finished yet. The nurse helped me to exercise my stomach and do the sewing part.

After that, the nurse transferred me to the Class 2 Wad together with baby Leanne and hubby too. I knew that whole the delivery progress hubby is waiting outside the delivery room cause the nurse advised him that he cannot go inside to watch me. Too bad.. But luckily everything is going well.

So tonight I’ll be staying together with our baby Leanne. She’s so sweet and lovely. Just like her big brother, Karson Lau.

On my way...

Today is my due date of my pregnancy. Is 40 weeks 6 days already. Wah.. The time really flies but my baby girl inside my tummy still don’t want to come out. I think maybe she loves staying inside my tummy cause can eat lots of things and is warm inside. Haha.. (kidding)

Well, I went to Government  Hospital, Sarikei  this morning at 11am and do checking on my baby girl. Everything is alright and her heartbeat is good. Doctor named Rafidah came and do scanning on her and doctor said my baby girl is estimated 3.8kg. Oh my.. I’m shocked  and surprise cause I can’t believe that my baby girl so big. My first baby boy just 3.2kg and I can’t delivered in natural way. So did u think I can make it this time by natural birth? I can’t guaranteed and doctor also advised at the same time whether I need to do caesarean or natural birth. Doctor scared that my previous scar will effected the baby progress when she wants to come out but I really need to try cause until now (my two times pregnancy) I didn’t even feel being a ‘mother’. You know what I mean.. So I’m going to have a try..

After do the scanning, Doc Rafidah write my report and do some calling to Sibu Government Hosp. Then Doc Rafidah asked me to admit into Sibu Government Hosp cause the facility and services at there is better than Sarikei here. Doc said not too rush cause I still didn’t have any pain on my tummy. So I went back together with my hubby and little Karson.

Arrived home, I make sure my baby boy take a nice sleep first. I’m going to miss him a lot cause we (my baby boy and I) didn’t even separate for a day before. Without his voice and his naughtiness, I really miss him much and by the way I don’t know how many days I’m going to admit this time.

So we (hubby and I) went to Sibu at 6pm after took our dinner at home.  Arrived Sibu, we straightly went to the hospital and I did the registration part first. The nurse helped me to register and Doc Robert do my scanning on my baby and so do Doc Sharifah. Both of them consult me first and asking my opinion on my delivery whether choosing caesarean or natural birth because they said the baby is quite big and is a risk to choose for natural birth but  still can try it on.

Well, I guess I can try it on then because until now I still don’t even try to be a mother yet, meaning I never been natural birth before. So that night I’ve been transferred to a Class 2 Wad that is fully air-conned inside a room because of my hubby who’s working with the government so is specially service to his family who admit in the hospital but unluckily hubby cannot companied me that night cause is the hospital procedure not allowed so that night hubby drove home to our hometown, Sarikei and look after our big son, Karson.

So that’s for tonight. Hopefully I can delivered tomorrow. Wish me good luck…
