Welcome! (Part 3)

While Megan has not yet arrived, we were trying to have some fun. We ordered food to kill time, and actually the food quality here is great. 

After dinner, Ah yea gave me a surprise visit. The interval of the contraction was 10 minutes around that time. I still have some energy to play with Ah Yea and Ah Lun. 

After that, I took a shower and try to get some sleep. In the end, I did not get any because I was so nervous! Ah Lun was sent back home but he could not sleep either. 

At 12:30mid night, suddenly a nurse asked me to go back to the waiting room to do one more round of test. After telling Ah Lun, he was back to the hospital again to stay with me. At this point of time, I was finally asked to get changed. I look like people in the moomin village. 

We were still wondering when will we get changed a few hours ago. Feeling nervous after getting changed. 

In that mid night, we are chatting and killing time. From 4am onwards, the contraction is getting more serious but that's not too regular. 

Nurse informed us that the induction will take place from 8:30am. So we had a good breakfast before the battle started. 

I still can smile...

Induction started at 9am after check-up by Dr Connie Yuen. 

In the following 3.5 hours, it's a tough battle. In the first place, I was trying to delay my reliance on the medicine. After sometime, I requested for Entonox. Very lucky that Ah Lun was very cooperative in this process. We worked like a winning team since the injection on my left hand was so painful, while my right hand had to hold onto the bed rail when the contraction came. Ah Lun helped to instruct me when to inhale and exhale. When I requested for the pain killer injection, it was already 3-4 degrees opened. After a short period of time (may be quite long already), its 9 degrees already. I lost consciousness by that time and all nurses were so anxious because the baby is coming out soon. I was moved to the delivery room in a split of second. 

I was taught how to push my legs and pulled my hands, but I always got it wrong. Thanks to my strong hands, I pushed my baby out at 12:29pm. My legs suck, how can they be so weak after doing so many squat exercises?!

We were so exhausted after the delivery because the baby size was big and heavy (8.3lbs). Thank you Ah Lun for giving me this lovely baby but also his support during the delivery. He is such a supportive husband and I m so glad that he's not afraid of blood. There's really lots of blood. 

Baby Megan, we will meet you after taking some rest.
