The birth story of Chua En Yao,Daelyn

Not many people know I'm pregnant with Daelyn.
She came as a surprise.
Find out I'm having her just one day before we head to hong kong last year.

Wednesday,08.07.2015

I woke up at 7plus am to say goodbye to Dante as Vi is sending him to school.
I went back to sleep.
But I keep having pains,needle poking pain.
Was having the same kind of pain on and off previously.
I still ask my july15 westies mummies grp,if it is contractions.
Ya,I know I should know but well,I kind of forgotten how to time etc.
I tried to time it.
But it seems hard to do so.

I went back to sleep from about 845am to 9am.
Woke up feel kind of weird.
Decided not to send Draco to school as I don't feel well.

At about 9plus,
I what's app baobao and told her I think I'm having contractions.
I what's app Vi too but he didn't reply me.

I went to make milk for Draco,boiled water,change water,keep the folded clothes,keep the dry clothes and hang the washed laundries.

At about 930am,the back breaking pain seems to be more instense.
Called Vi and told him about it.
He asked if it is really time.
I told him,I will call him again.

I went and add some things into my bag.

The pain start to get more and more painful.

At aro 945am, told BaoBao about my pains and call Vi to ask him come back.

I went to shower after that.
Wanted to shower Draco but my pain is too annoying for me to do so.
Took out his go out clothes and waited for Vi to come back.

I still call mummy and ask her to take halfday leave to take care the boys for me.

Vi reached around 10am,
We head down to kkh after changing Draco.

On our way there,
Draco keep telling me sorry whenever I shout in pain.
He thought he was the one making me painful!

I still asked Vi if he wanted to send Draco to Mummy's place first anot.
Vi told me no time already la.

Reach kkh and waited awhile for parking lot.
Finally parked the car and head up to delivery suite.

My water bag burst when we were halfway up the lift.
I know is gross but I can't stop it from bursting!

After exiting the lift,
I rushed Vi to go get the nurse or whoever la,cause I'm in huge pain then I can't walk properly.

One guy was nice to help look after Draco while another lady held me and asked me to walk slowly.
While walking towards to delivery suite,I can feel Daelyn's head is really low.

Once I manage to hop onto the wheelchair,I was already in such a huge pain that I keep screaming,"I NEED LAUGHING GAS PLS!"
Super dramatic.

The lady tried to wheel me to one room but the cleaner was still cleaning up the room.
Then she speed her way to another.

Vi and Draco were asked to stayed outside as children can't enter the room.

The nurses tried to ask me take out my pants and panties while I'm on the wheelchair.
But is almost impossible to do so.
The nurses helped to take off my pants then they cut my panties.

By then,the sister nurse Julie Tay can feel baby' head is already pushing her way out.
I don't even have the time and energy to climb up the bed.
She asked me to lift up my butt and push.
With about 2pushes,Daelyn is born at about 1130am.

The nurses clamp her cord and cut it.
Abit disappointed that Vi didn't get to cut her cord.

The sister nurse asked me to carry Daelyn,but she is covered with blood.

Told the sister nurse to just wrap her and put her aside first.

I waited very long before Vi and Draco were allowed to come into the room.
Waited for my gynae,Dr Khoo CK to come to deliver my placenta for me.

While waiting,the nurses weigh the baby and measure her.

After that the nurse gave me some antibodies then I waited before doing skin to skin with Daelyn.

Halfway through,Vi send Draco to Mummy's place.

I keep asking if I can have food.
Cause I was so hungry!!

Had lunch at delivery suite and finally head up to the ward at around 3plus pm.

The dramatic birth story of Daelyn Chua!
Crazy short 3.5hrs dramatic labour.
