** Birth Story of Asher **

The same as ReAnne, the birth story of Asher is not as exciting as other people BUT is so much longer than ReAnne.

 

So the saying of 2nd kid will be born faster than the 1st,

 

WRONG!!

 

At least for me, is so much longer and torturing than ReAnne!!

 

Although I have been feeling the pressure and Dr Lee been hinting that this baby will be coming out early, I been telling Asher to please wait at least after JieJie's birthday.

 

It all started on 14th, Friday!

The day we going to celebrate ReAnne's 3rd birthday in School.

So Daddy is back in Singapore as well.

 

Early morning, we went for my routine check up at Dr Lee's clinic.

He did a Vaginal check on me and sort of hinted that the baby is coming out soon.

(BTW, my gynae don't usually say the actual things, we have to guess and make assumption of his words)

 

After that, Hubz and I went for our lunch and collect ReAnne's Cake.

By noon, we went to the school and celebrate her birthday with her friends.

 

Right after the celebration, I'm feeling the cramps. Not intensive but is always there.

Feeling pretty uncomfortable, we called the clinic and was asked to go in and double check.

 

Dr Lee checked through my vaginal and told us we can admit or wait till the pain is more intensive.

I choose the latter.

 

The cramps continued so we decided to admit after ReAnne fell asleep and wait till 12am.

(As anytime after 12am is consider 1 day charge)

 

When we reached, the mid wife did a check on me and I was 2.5cm - 3cm dilated.

So i was given the medicine to poo and strap on CTG.
 

 

And then the long wait began.

** A photo b4 the real thing starts **

 

Through the night, I cannot sleep as the discomfort is just so disturbing.

By morning, not much dilation so Dr Lee asked the mid wife to give me drip to fasten the process.

 

Not long after the drip is given, the real PAIN starts!

If you are wondering if I took epidural,

The answer is Nope, I didnt!

And is really very painful and I regretted!!

 

Should have listen to the mid wife who keeps reminding me that there is epidural throughout the whole process!

(Not a very pro natrual mid wife)

 

I took the laughing gas and the tigh injections again,

But it works wonder this time round!

 

The mid wife taught me the correct way and it really makes me real high and not as pain but is still painful

 

After some time, the urge of pushing came and after a few pushing,

Baby Asher is out with no assistance!

(His head is smaller than his sister's)

 

As he is born 2 weeks earlier, he at 2.71kg is so much smaller than the sister!

 

All in all, I'm glad he is out healthy and hubz is around to experience the pain with me again!!

 

  

 

 

 

 

2Mths 4 days old

Slightly earlier than his sister, Lil Asher lifted his head for a few seconds during tummy time. This is Good enough for me to run to take my hp and took some photos!!
=P

Way to go boy! 1 milestone met!
