* Labor- Hard Work !! Part Two *

Jeremy arrived at about 1.20am and I couldnt take it anymore, cuz I know I needed to be in the labor room. So I hit the buzzer again, and when the nurse came, I told her, it was time. So she called for the labor room again. And the midwife said that they could make a space at the 1st stage labor ward. At that moment I couldn't care less, all I wanna do is keep focus on my breathing so that would help to relief me of some pain. By 1.50am I am in the 1st stage labor. The nurse wheeled me pass sleeping patients (moms to be - waiting for their turn to go into labor) who where in the 1st stage labor ward. Then they brought me into the nurses' room, where a bed and the necessary equipments where prepared for my birthing experience.

I am totally bless with a very good midwife so gave me specific and thorough instructions on what to do and what not to do. At this time, Jeremy was waiting outside as he wasnt allowed since - til they were to call him. I did mention to the nurse that I would like to have my husband over to witness the birth of my baby. However they where shorthanded, they and didnt have anyone to call him in. Next thing I knew, i have to push Zephyr out. After 4 attempts and an epistomy, at 2.20am Zephyr came into this world! Yay! I am so happy to see him. Not bad huh, about 20-30mins of labor. However it does not end there. The placenta has to be expelled out and also the midwife have to stitch the epistomy cut that she had made. Ouch.Ouch.Ouch.

After all that was done, Jeremy managed to let himself to the room. Pass the baby clothes to the nurse and check up on me. Yay. Now I cant wait to go home :P

Zephyr - a few hours old

Sleepyzzz....

* Labor - Hard Work!!! Part One *

Zephyr is finally here! Although his EDD was on the 6th September, he decided on an earlier appearance on the 4th September. The whole process happened so quick!
Woke on Monday (3rd Sept) had mild contractions about 30- 45mins apart(which didnt hurt but felt more like a tightening sensation at my lower abdomen. Did my usual stuff. Went out, came back did my chores as usual and by afternoon I knew that the whole labor thing is gonna be soon. We dropped Tyler of at grandpa's, knowing that we'll be "checking in" the hospital tonite or something like that.

So by evening at 7pm we decide to go to the hospital to check if I have dilated. Went to the labor ward and after the examination , they concluded that I have dilated 3cm and the baby's head is very low. However, I didn't really get painful contractions, just that weird backache feeling that I have been getting since 2 months ago. We really wanted to go for dinner. In fact we're suppose to be having dinner with Bev and cg members that evening. Too bad tho, they put me into the ante natal ward to wait. That's the part that suxx. I was soooo bored lol good thing I bought a Cleo mag to kill time. I miss Tyler already. LOL. Since there were no private rooms available due to renovations, I had to share a room with another patient. She looks like a very young mom, prolly 18-19 years of age. 6 months pregnant, but is already experience bleeding and premature contractions. She told me she has been there for 3-4 days already. Wow... that must drive you crazy, just being stuck with all kinds of uncertainty.

Also the nurse told us,that Jeremy cant stay over to accompany me because it's a shared room. In fact, u are not allow to have anyone stay over to help you out ( which I tot was really weird) So he left the hospital at 12 plus. Next thing I know at about 1:00am my contractions started. Ouch it hurts like mad and my gosh, it was freezing cold. So I text some Bernard, Angel and some of them ( I cant remember who else - my mind was going nuts) to uphold me. Also Jeremy to tell him that I am gonna deliver soon.

So I hit the buzzer that rings for the nurse. They came to me, and I told her that my contractions very near each other. So they wheeled me into the examination room to check, and confirmed that I have dilated 8 cm and my contractions are just 1-2mins apart. I can still remember cold it was, cuz I was shivering, my teeth sounded like they were tap dancing. All I could think of was "Give me a blanket - I am cold!" The nurses then called the labor ward, checking with them if they could wheel me over cuz I am in labor and is gonna give birth soon. But at the moment all the rooms and beds were full as there were just too many moms in labor as well - So I have to wait. I could see from the faces of the nurses cuz 2 of them were midwives that I may end up giving birth in the post natal ward instead; but there were no bed or equipment available. So they sent me back to my room to wait some more, hoping that a bed will be available. Jeremy text me afterwards and telling me he is on the way.
