Sorry this is a very very long overdue entry. Have been intending to do an entry on my delivery but can't find the Cd of the photos. At last, I found it. So, please bear with me... Let me bring you to that day…17th May ’06
10:30am We went to Dr. Aziz clinic for the final check-up (we assumed). I was excited but not as excited as my hubby, Elfin. He planned to have this baby on his birthday i.e. 18th May. Baby’s supposed due date was 11th July but Doc assured me that my baby is big enough to be delivered a month before. That day, he checked (it was uncomfortable but it had to be done.) and informed me that my cervix wasn’t opened at all!! He wants us to wait maybe a week or two.
Elfin’s reaction was so obvious. His face macam kerang busuk. He wasn’t pleased. Doc said the only possible thing is to have a caesarian. What the hell?! No way dude!
3:30pm So, we went back. I felt so guilty and felt worse looking at Elfin’s reaction. He said that he’s ok but I knew that he felt disappointed. Once at home, I lay down and rubbed my tummy.. “Elisya baby, please come out..Ayah’s sad, Ibu also sad. Please come out baby..” Suddenly, I felt wet down there. Went to the toilet and checked. I was bleeding. Elfin called Doc and the nurse mentioned its normal to have slight bleeding. But the bleeding never goes. This gonna sounds gross.. When I stood up, legs apart and showed my mom and Elfin. Blood clots dripped down. Mom said that its not normal. Elfin called Dr. Aziz and he told Elfin to bring me to Raffles immediately.
6:50pm Traffic was bad. Luckily, I wasn’t in much pain. (Next time East Shore ok ayah? Very near..). I was strapped and wheeled to the labour wad.
7.30pm Doc came and insert something in me (I think its for my induce labour).
8:00pm Nothing..
10.30pm Nothing. The pain is killing me so I opt for epidural. Gosh! Its like some kind of magic show. The pain immediately gone. I smiled.
11.30pm Nani came in, took some pics. Told her to tell the rest to go home cos’ it will take until the next morning. 3cm dilated.
18th May 2006
7.30am 5cm!! I was getting impatient. Wished Elfin a happy birthday.
11.00am Nurse checked and its 8cm!! My epidural is wearing off.. Gosh! The pain is too much for me to handle.
12.00pm Doc came in. I was running a temperature and baby’s heartbeat is getting weaker so, he had to vacuum baby out.
12.15pm Sophie Elisya was born.. She was tiny, 2.97kg and 50cm long.
Enjoy the pics...
