The arrival of our Prince

On the day of 29 April 08 (Lunar: 24/03/08), I was induced as the little baby inside refused to come out even at EDD (28 April'08). Admitted myself on 29 April after midnight to Mount Alvernia Hospital. At about 12+ am, tablet inserted for cervix dilation.. no dilation when Dr Lee check at 5+ am.. was very worried if induced unsuccessful, then likely have to go C-sect. Shortly after Dr Lee left, I feel contraction pains from 6am till 7+ am.. Start to put on drip at 10+, with the epidural at 9+am.. no dilation till 2.30pm (about 5 to 6cm). Dr Lee came around 4.30pm and there started the labour process. Our prince only arrived at about 17.04 pm, weighing 3.640Kg, Length 55cm, head circumference is 35.5cm..

Here are the pictures taken at the labour ward:


After the nurse put clothes on him:


Then back from nursery, cleaned up and what a little angel he is..
All the tiredness, discomfort, pain during pregnancy and labour are all gone when seeing this little angel of ours..
