5 days ago when we welcomed our son into this world. This pic prolly doesn’t justify how overjoyed I was cos I was feeling super groggy from the operation + my eyes were swollen cos I had an allergic reaction 😂 Quick recap - All along I was super against the idea of having a csect and planned on doing natural delivery ever since I found out I was pregnant. Mainly because I’m extremely active and couldn’t stand the thought of being bedridden + I was afraid of the complications of it. On the 23rd, during my last check up, my doctor told me my baby was at 3.5kg (Avg newborns range from 2.8kg-3.2kg, so he was pretty big) and if I wanted to proceed with natural delivery she would’ve to induce me. So on the 25th morning, at 38 weeks and 1 day, I checked into @thomsonmedical and was induced at midnight. It was a long and torturous wait ( mentally & physically). The contractions kicked in and started peaking at around 6am when my doctor broke my water bag, but I was only 2cm dilated. I prayed to myself in pain that I would progress as I continued to press on. To my dismay, I was only 3cm dilated after waiting for another 7 hours. At that point, it was time to decide if I wanted to continue waiting (I’ve to be at 10cm to deliver) but all I could think of was how badly I wanted to see baby boy - so I went ahead with an emergency csect. It was a painless procedure and I had 4 awesome doctors in there - one of them even played me songs while two of them were operating me 😂 In less than 30mins, I had my first skin to skin moment with baby K while 「不該」 was playing in the background, with my husband by my side and tears all welled up in my eyes. I was filled with excitement, happiness and I felt in love all over again. After 4 days, we finally brought him back to our home yesterday. I secretly wished my stay was longer because the service at @thomsonmedical was superb and everyone was extremely helpful/supportive. 😂🤭 Alright just want to end this long-winded essay by saying a huge THANK YOU to all of you for your blessings, well wishes and love. BRB back to mom duties 😅
Hint: More updates will be up on my YouTube channel soon 😝😉
