Our daughter Elva is born. She was born after 17 hours after we admitted to hospital for induce labour. Doctor Sim told us last week to get prepared to come in for induce if Baby Elva did not come out this few days.
On the night of admission, we went to have supper at the cheese prata shop before going in. After reaching hospital at almost midnight, Jerlyn was given the prostin tablet to soften the cervix and to induce labour. I went to the registration and admit Jerlyn. 2 hours later, there were no contractions so the nurse told Jerlyn to go back to the ward to rest and wait for the contraction. I was asked to leave as I could not stay in the ward overnight. After I left for home, Jerlyn had some minor contractions and this goes on till the morning when Doctor Sim came to visit her.
I was there early in the morning to check on Jerlyn. Doctor Sim burst her water bag and asked the nurse to monitor. Jerlyn could feel the contractions getting more painful so she asked for the epidural. The doctor was fast and quick and give her the epidural and left. We waited till in the afternoon where Doctor Sim came again and check on Jerlyn. Not time yet and she left. The 3rd time she came, she told the nurse to reduce the epidural and it was time to push the baby out. The pushing took almost an hour and Baby Elva is out. Jerlyn did a great job and I was very proud of her. I got the chance to cut the umbilical cord for Baby Elva.
Baby Elva was born on the 11 January 2013 1725hrs, weigh 3.205kg and 49cm in length. The nurse gave Baby Elva to carry and I was so happy. First time holding my baby girl. After that Baby Elva was push to NICU for observation as she have flu and a lot of phlegm mucus in her. Fortunate, she was alright and now in nursery. I was too tired and was asked to go home with Jerlyn's parents. Jerlyn was allergy to painkillers and caused her right eye to swollen. The nurse gave her injection and hope she will be fine.
Dear I am so proud of you. Love you Dear. It will be a sleepless night for the next one month.
