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.
