2- 3.00 am - Hubby couldn't sleep throughout the night. Keep pacing up and down as today will be the birth of baby Clara.
During my checkup on friday 16.05.08, Dr Lim advised me to go for a C-section as the ultrascan showed that Clara was in Occipito-Posterior Position (OPP). (OPP occurs when baby's face is facing forward & the back is on the extreme left or right.) A normal delivery is also possible but Dr Lim said that my labour will tend to be longer and the chances of using forceps are also higher. In order not to go through the long process, I had decided to choose a C-section.
4.00 am - Woke and wash myself up. Today will be the last day to wash my hair before confinement starts.
5.00 am - Left home with hubby towards Gleneagles Hospital. I remembered the Moon was big and bright on our way there. Strange. The feeling I had was like going to Changi Airport with my luggage.
6.00 am - Checked-in to the hospital. The Conceige brought us to my single bedded room. Looks old but cosy.
7.00 am - Nurse came to my room and confirmed my ID, checked if I've removed my nail polish, contact lenses and dentures (alamak! all my teeth are real leh...) got me to change my hospital robe and took my BP. On the other hand, Hubby was looking so tense...so quiet.. Instead of asking me to relax, the nurse told my hubby to stay cool. Haha...
7.30 am - I was being pushed to the operation theatre and my hubby followed me, holding my left hand, sayang my head...so sweet..keke. When I entered the OT, I could hear radio..it's class 95 fm. I chose to have full GA instead of Epidural as I was afraid of listening to the metal instruments docs use.
7.45 am - Dr Gordon Lim arrived at the OT, slapped my left leg and said " How are u feeling?", "Don't feel nervous as it will soon be over..." The GA insert the drip on my left hand and very soon I fall into deep deep sleep..... ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
8.00 am plus - Baby Clara was born!!!
