The Big Day

We have schedule Annabelle to be delivered on 2 nov and my maternity leaves will start officially on 27 oct. So I can have a few days of rest before popping and spending more quality time with Jon. But who knows... on 20 Oct 2011, I realised I have some pink discharged. I called my gyn who asked me to come down at once. In fact I was still working on that day. Called Kenneth to pick me up and told him that today may be the D day. Hand over my work to my boss and bid her and my other colleagues farewell. We went home and had a quick shower and picked up my bag. Upon checking, Gyn informed us that I have actually dilated 2cm and informed us that he will perform the c-sec tonight instead. We were like ... wow so fast?! and Annabelle (Annie) will be born preterm at week 35 day 6. So a PD was requried to be at the Operating Theatre as well. We faster updates our families and friends and waited for 8pm to arrived. Compared to Jon, this round was really pain-free and more organised. During Jon's time, I had to be induced for almost 3 days as he was an overdue baby. The pain was beyond words as I have to suffer for 2 days before epidural was given. But after 3days, I was only dilated at 4cm and Jon was showing signs of destress. Hence was given emergency c-sec. So Annie's birth was really pain-free.

So below is her Birth story :
11am : pink discharged
2pm : 2 cm dilated
3pm : admitted to hospital ward
6pm : prepared for c-sec (shaved and shower)
7pm : pushed to OT
7.30pm : Epidural was administator
8.30pm : Allo to Annabelle
9.00pm : pushed to recovery ward
9.30pm : pushed back to normal ward
