Baby Charis has arrived on 5 April 2008 in the morning :)
A smooth and fast delivery, I would say!
Of cos, it can be faster, if I dun wait for him
Who???
Who else, beside my husband!
Yes, my labor story! the important key person is not me,
not Charis, not the gynae, BUT MY HUSBAND!
Cos I waited for him ONE HR to rush to hospital before I start to push.
Here go my story:

04-04-08, 9am: went for my check up, told doc that bb seems to move lesser,
did a check and found the water level is low average, will need to induce these 2 days, so i choose to induce later in that afternoon

04-04-08, 5pm: went to induce in the clinic, doc forced cervix to open 1cm

04-04-08, 11.30pm: admit to TMC, doc checked, 2cm dilated only, and water bag burst..
Put on CTG, having contraction, but I cannot feel it..

05-04-08, 1am: contraction start strongly but irregular, try out the laughing gas, it work on me, decide to use it.

05-04-08, 2.40am: woke up by sudden sharp pain on my back, wanted to go poo poo..
Walked to the toilet myself, pushed 3 times, no pass motion, but did feel that i push something out.. din know that it is baby charis that I pushed out.. went back to the delivery suite thinking that I still have to bear such pain till morning, decided to try epidual instead..

05-04-08, 3.30am: doc came to insert epi

05-04-08, 3.45am: while waiting for the epi to take effect, nurse came to check for dilation and saw bb hair.. told me i can start to push bb out, asked me where is my hb.. and said that i can actually go without epi, and since i on epi now, dun waste the epi, ask my hb to come back slowly.. so he took his own sweet time and came back one hr later! Fall asleep while waiting for him to come back, whole body is shivering badly!

05-04-08, 5am: finally my hb is back, started to push bb out..

05-04-08, 5.30am: doc came and 3 pushes, baby is out!

Baby Charis weigh 3.015kg and 49cm at birth

Charis is 7 mth big! So far she is able to • Sit well • Crawl well • Lunges forward from sitting position to grasp an object • Feeds herself with a cracker • Drink well from sippy cup • Recognises names & faces • Begins to understand meaning of “No” • Imitate what we do • Stand up while holding on to something • Trying to walk with support • Sleep on her own without rocking or patting her to sleep • Say mama when angry • Play peek-a-boo Tried feeding Charis Banana Puree on Monday Banana Puree Bananas are full of slow-release sugars which provide sustained energy. They make a perfect baby recipe as they are portable and come in their own easy to peel packaging. They are also good for the treatment of diarrhoea and constipation. Method: Peel a small banana and mash with a fork. During the first stages of weaning, add a little milk if necessary to thin down the consistency and add a familiar taste. However, Charis doesn't like it at all. Yuke! Refuse to try! Trying to escape from ...
