** The Birth Story of ReAnne **

The Birth Story of ReAnne!!

Is not as exciting as other people whose water bag broke or baby is already coming out on the way.

Is not that long that lasted for 10 over hours.

So, in other words, I'm quite a lucky gal!

2plus am - Woke up by the contraction pain

(start to time the contraction)

4am - The contraction is consistent for 2 hours. Interval is about 8 - 10mins.

Start to think might be the real thing already.

Call Alfred who just reached Surabaya that night to come back.

Alfred faster call agency to look for air ticket and go straight to airport to get the first flight back to singapore!

(Jakarta got more flights to return to singapore than Surabaya)

Faster go bath and wash my hair to be ready to be admitted

4.45am - Tell mum that i having contractions. Then called Er Jie who send Alvin to come pick us up to hospital

5.45am - Reach Delivery suite of hospital

Was put on ctg and mid wife check my dilation.

Was told is a real labour , cervic is thin and I'm already 3cm.

** Shocked!! **

Was still telling the mid wife i'm not sure if i'm in real labour as my gynae just checked on monday and say my cervic is thick!

** Called alfred and say i'm really in labour!! And he also manage to buy the only business class ticket left for the 1st flight back to singapore.

6am - Given medicine to poo.

8.45am - Dr Lee told the nurse to give me drip to fastern the process

9.20am - Dr Lee came and I'm already 7cm dilated. He even mentioned that I got good pain threshold! Other people are already screaming till people at Botanic garden can hear

He burst the water bag and here comes the real pain!!

(I think I'm already more than half way there so no point getting epidual So ENDURE!!)

9.35am - Cannot stand the pain! Ask for laughing Gas!

This will really make you high! But is no use!!

Alfred plane touched down and was rushing to hospital at this time

10am - Ask for the tigh injection

Trust me, this is of no use!!

Don't waste $$

10.15am - Alfred finally reached hospital

Was already losing my control of the pain!!

Start to scream whenever the contraction come

The nurse start to prepare for delivery in a slow movement

Told the nurse after some time that I got the urge to push

(It really feels like you want to shit!!)

Dr Lee Came with 2 other midwifes

By this time, I'm already screaming like nobody's business!!

I'm sure those pregnant women in other room will be so scare by my screaming. =P

After a while - Little Reanne finally come out with some help from the vaccum!

Once she is out, delivering the palcenta and sewing of the opening is just nothing to compare with the pain!
