Baby Alastair

Hello Baby Alastair! Welcome to the world. Finally the long awaited day arrived. Baby Alastair was borned on 21st Oct 2014 via c-section weighing 2.68kg. My tiny baby! 

Many of my friends and relatives asked why I opt for c-section because I wanted to have natural birth in the beginning. Because I went for my weekly check up on Tuesday morning (21.10.2014) as usual with hub, Dr Chen which is my gynae told us that baby's weight is not gaining and his waterbag level dropped till 4.8 which is pretty low. His fetal movement also become lesser due to the lesser water in take he has. So I did a CTG test and his movement and heartbeat is lesser and lower than usual. So Dr Chen ask if I wanted to induced labour or go for c-section. Without second thoughts I opt for c-section because I'm afraid induced labour might take a long time and ended up in emergency c-section. Hub and me went back home to bath and pack my bag and we went to Mount A for admission. Everything within an hour and I was admitted into my ward while waiting for my operation time. The nurse spray a medicine into my anus so I could clear my bowel. The feeling when she insert the medicine caused pretty much discomfort to me. Less than 5min I could feel my stomach aching so I rush to the toilet and cleared everything out. Wanted to take a nap but I couldn't fall asleep at all. My operation was supposed to be at 4pm but it was delayed due to an emergency c-section Dr Chen had to go. So I waited till 4.30pm and two nurses pushed me into the operation room. Had GA which is full body epidural which puts me to sleep because I got no courage to witness the whole process. I fell asleep within seconds and the next moment I'm awake everything is done. Baby is out, stitches is done. I couldn't feel anything due to the numbing. I was being pushed back to my ward and I saw my dad, hub and my parents-in-law. Nurse pushed my baby for me to see. Even till now I couldn't believed i carried a baby inside me for 38weeks and I delivered him out.. Im still pretty clumsy in carrying him and I feel that newborn is so fragile. It feels like I might hurt him anytime lol. Anyway I still look pregnant even after giving birth. I wonder when will all the flabby tummy go away. Feeling quite upset and depressed about it :( Hub wanted to stay overnight and accompany me but he wasn't allowed to because I'm staying in 2-bedded and no one is allowed to stay over and accompany me. So hub left at 1030pm and I went to sleep. I wake up quite a few times but I still manage to get enough rest. 

I was being given one hot milo to drink in the early morning. Around 9plus nurses came with the baby and ask me to try breast feeding. I sucks at it and I don't think baby drink till any milk because I can't feel that I've any milk supply in me. Around 20min baby is being pushed back to his nursery and I continue resting till my family and hub family came. My afternoon is spent with relatives and friends visiting me. Hub went back at 3plus cos he's tired and he's not coming back till next morning. So I felt pretty lonely and emo hahahaha. Emotional mummy hor. I was being asked to try standing up and walk to the toilet back and forth. I swear the pain is killing me. It feels like my stitches are tearing apart. I feel giddy and my vision went blur when I walked back so the nurse hold on to me to rest on the toilet bowl first. Second time walking is also hard. I hope tomorrow my wound would feel better and walking would be easier. I can't wait to have my post pregnancy massage. My tummy feels like a balloon with lots of air inside. I keep farting non-stop :x My throat is hurting due to dehydration I guess. My neck is also aching because I couldn't sleep well. I can't wait to be discharge and go back home.... Hate to me staying in the hosp alone..
