My Baby Sara: The True Alarm

Today, Pauline ring me up at 3pm+++, complaining she has some stomachache and feel like leaving the office early and call it a day... well, without much hesitation I leave all my things behind and drive all the way from Lot 10 to Damansara Perdana (pauline's office) reaching her office at 4pm... (we have been car poll for the pass 2 weeks, knowing that the due date for delivery is drawing closer and closer)

Not much of guessing whether it is a true alarm or a false alarm, we reached the hospital at 4pm+++, unfortunately our regular gyne is on day off every wednesday. Pauline and I quickily proceed directly to the Maternity Floor to double check whether any signal of delivery. (pauline's face is pale and aching)

After been checked for 30 min... the doctor in charged in the Maternity Floor confirmed that the baby is giving signal to deliver on today 1 August 2007. (what a relieve, finally we know that the baby is coming out unlike previously we were worried when baby is coming) We've waited another 30 min when our regular gyne reached the hospital accompanied with midwife to do checking on pauline again (that was 6pm)... The only thing I saw was seeing the gyne using a 1 feet long "ruler" (trying to burst the water bag)... and screamed from Pauline. That's it the gyne said. We will wait for another 7 hours and prepare for delivery. OMG... that time was only 6pm add another 7 hours that will be 1am in the morning baby will deliver and come to the new world... Both me and pauline are excited about the news but another 7 hours is pretty long..

Pauline has no choice to transfer to the labour room to prepare for delivery...

I then go to One Utama to buy some bread, magazine and drinks for both of us as we are preparing to stay a wake the whole night until delivery time. By the time, when I reached the hospital again Pauline was in total pain... she had injected the pain killer and it seems doesn't work for her and she keep on complaining about aching.. At last, she make up her mind to put epidural to relieve the pain... (poor pauline, hopefully when baby grow up she know that how hard to get her out from the stomach..)

About 10:30pm, the nurse come in for the hourly check up for pauline and asked us to get ready as baby is coming out soon... my heart beat suddenly increases and excited about the arrival of our baby prior to this I just feel calm and easy about the delivery. At 11pm the process of delivery kick off, 2 nurses, gyne and me stand in our position in the labour room supporting Pauline to get the rythem and we shouted "PUSH"... "PUSH"... "PUSH" all the way....

Finally, before midnight baby girl has poop out from pauline on the 1st August 2007. Everything seems so unreal and I don't know how to explain the feeling when I first saw our baby coming out from Pauline... (that time Pauline was in total exhausted condition). But, it is really really an amazing feeling...
