The long wait is finally over and here comes the new addition of our family, Princess #2 - baby Yun Ru on 20 January 2009.
Here's my birth story:
20 January 2009
3am: Wake up and felt the urge to poo.
3.45am: Contractions started to kick in. 10-15 minutes intereval.
4.30am: Chong awake and told him baby should be coming out these two days, felt excited.
5am: Decided to wake up for final packing instead of wait for day bright, as we were to head to JB for delivery. Had "bloody show" when washing up.
5.45am: Left home. Was lucky that Xi was not awaken by our noise when packing up. She only awake when papa carried her to car seat but soon fell asleep again when the car started moving. Went to Chong's office at Robinson Road first to collect his laptop, then to Bedok my office to collect my laptop and stuff.
6.45am: Reached 阿姨's house and passed Xi to her. Kissed Xi goodbye and told her mummy loves her very much.
7.30am: Reached JB. Went to a nearby coffee shop for breakfast. Had a big pao and milo. Contractions getting closer in interval but still bearable.
7.45am: Admitted to Clinic Chu. Put on CTG.
8.15am: Nurse checked, already 5cm dilated.
8.30am: Cleared bowel and changed to sarong. Went staight to labour room. Nurse said should give birth anytime in the morning. Contraction still manageable.
9am: Nurse checked. Still 5cm dilated.
9.20am: Dr Chu came. 7cm dilated, and he broke the waterbag to fasten the contraction.
10am: Contraction peak and felt strong urge to push! Nurse checked, 9cm dilated already. Was told to push when the urge came.
10.05am: Doctor came in again and was instructed the correct way to push. Baby Yun Ru was born a few minutes later after a few hard pushes, weight 3.2kg and 55cm long.
Now the real challenge of taking care of a new baby and managing a demanded toddler has finally begun. Wish me luck!
