baby's arrival

i'm finally home from the hospital.. i was there fer almost a week!
was admitted on the 7th cuz i tot my water broke and i was so excited bout going into labor. unfortunately, it was just a false alarm! haha.. but my doc suggested i stay to be monitored and so i did... then, on the 9th while i was relaxing on my bed after lunch, i felt this gush and whoa! it just kept on dribbling! that was when i knew my water has officially broken!
then it was another round of waiting game... waited for my contractions the whole day! they never came...
i was admitted into the labor ward at about 11 sunday morning where the doctor inserted a tablet to help trigger contractions to dilate my cervix... the pain only came bout 6 hrs later... so i was lying there bored out of my mind. n since my contractions were irregular, i had to have oxytocin drips to regulate them... sigh.. i was getting impatient, all i wanted to do was get the baby out!
i opted for an all naturale birth.. no anesthetics, no epidural.. haha.. but my baby's heart couldn't take it.. everytime i get a strong contraction, his heartbeat goes flying up to 200! then come down to 80! i was freaking out watching the monitor.. in the end bout 9pm the doc says i had to go for emergency c-section cuz my cervix only dilated 3cm! goodness...
so in the end i was wheeled into the operating theatre where my baby came screaming at 10.35pm... i was freezing cold and groggy but relieved...

another week!

just another week! wow.. doesn't feel like i've been pregnant that long.. =D
had a scare last week when my baby didn't move much.. went to the doctor's but thank God everything's ok now.. the bad news is my cervix hasn't dilated one bit... and well i think i might have to induce if i dun go into labor after next week.. sigh... have to wait some more! haha..
i really want to give birth right now! amer and i are really looking forward to our firstborn.. and all this waiting just feels so slow! =D
well just another 7 days or more to go... patience... patience... ;D

anytime now...

well well well..... i've reached my 37th week! ohmigosh!
went for my checkup today and the doctor says that my baby has dipped real low and well, i can go into labor anytime now... just waiting...
had a real painful braxton hicks contraction today... and a long one.. yup that's an early sign of the real thing... *shudder*... gosh.. trying not to think so much bout it.. hehe.. dun wanna freak out now...
