Birth of Julian

Birth story  of Julian 

I reckon I should blog about his birth story while it's still fresh in my mind.
Not sure how other mummies are able to track down to the timing but here's my attempt.

Scheduled for a csec on the 23 November 2015 at 12 pm ( have auspicious timing to follow,.- baby to be out between 11am-1 pm.

Checked into to TMC at 10:15 left the house around 9:53 am gulp after hub settles the function room deposit payment for the birthday and month old celebration.

Was so worried we won't have enough time cos the paper work did take sometime. As single premium wasn't available we were upgraded to chancery suite 528.

After shaving and given enema, the operating staff wheeled me to wait outside operating theatre 5, I kept reminding the staff to have my binder which I used with Agnes to be brought along ( save costs). Hi by was then asked to take mother separate lift to level 2 to gown up.

Was feeling lit panicky and trying to calm myself down humming Kevin kern,'s piano pieces while staring at the ceiling lights, waiting for the doctors. After what seem probably like another 10-12 mins I was in the threaten and they transferred me to the operating bed. Jitters as memories flashed back.

I was put on a hydration drip by Dr Yvonne lim while given the laughing gas. Haha, aware of what will happen and that I will probably be high from breathing... After the drip, Dr Yvonne lik proceeded with the epidural as I  curled up. The pain wasn't too bad it was more when my muscle tensed up and again I was brought to te zone where I could alternate hearing what the Dr said too and fro ... Twilight zone for me. I recovered much faster I knew what the doctor wanted me to do and recalled her saying " continue wearing the mask, almost there , muscle tense ... Ur doing good job"

Finally I got conscious back to reality and heard Dr sim talking, the doctors proceeded with the cut and the next thing I know I saw Allan. We recalled the previous round when I was wondering why there isn't music as in the TV and Dr tonne like proceeded with a playlist of Christmas songs while they started pushing Julian out.

Dr sim commented that Julian has a big head and what seemed like 5-8 pushes the most, I could hear Julian as he was out! Dr sim commented he got a round nice head and all the assuring words came from doctors and hub as well.

Felt it was uneventful but couldn't ask for anything better!!! Julian was out by 12.15 and dr Yvonne lik proceed to help us take photos plus a Wefie with dr sim as well! They soon were talking about having lunch jokingly and that baby is in good shape and size. Dr sim even had a chat with nurses about recipes. I felt so peaceful and at ease that everything went quickly and the mood was so light hearted. Was stitched up ( dr sim commented has to cut abit more cos baby head was huge (36 cm compared to normal 34 cm)... I was wheeled back up to my current ward 529 same ward 2 years ago!!

Now that i am recording this less than 24 hours after it happened and having fed Julian. I am
Just really feeling grateful and nothing else.

Bliss and shall try to turn in as I hear hub's quiet snoring...

Oh... Tended also by the same kind Vanita senior night nurse :) whom I had two years ago!

Love,
Hooeywen as mum
