I think this is a long and delayed posting!
Little baby Rayan Hope Goon has finally arrived on 8 Dec. Months of waiting (Morning sickness, water retention n heartburn is all worth it once seeing little Rayan's smile).
Little fellow's full name is Rayan Hope Goon (Ruan Enqi). Rayan means Little Prince, and I want to call Ray but it sounds funny. Hope is a middle we prayed from God (If it's a little girl, it would be Faith). So, it's Ray of Hope or Little Prince Hope! And En Qi means thankful for mirracles (Which I think a lot of happening and I am very thankful to God for things in my life, somehow it's mirracle too, read my blog to understand more!)
To keep it short, my labour detail as follows:
9.30am - wake up and saw that I am spotting (like having slight heavy menses),
10am - observation, still the same, call my gynae
1pm - went to gynae. Canal is diluted for 2cm and gynae told me to admit into hospital at 8.30am
Afternoon - a bit of mense like pain, went for ya-kun kopi, hub went for basketball, went for a walk at my park downstair
Late afternoon - pack things and check bag again
7.30pm - went to my mum's plc for dinner
8.30pm - admit to hospital delivery ward
9pm - urine test, change, draw blood as I am donating the blood cord to Singapore public blood, shave there.. put in medication and poo within 1 min to clear system
9.30pm - gynae came, check, mild contractions. And burst my water bag
10.30pm - contractions came in like every 10 mins
11.30pm - contractions came in every 2-3 mins.. This will persist for at least another 3hrs, cant take the pain, not even taking laughing gas and immedidately ask for epidural, was told that doc will come from home in 30 mins time.
11.45pm - epidural taken, side effect - shivering and numbness from lower part of body specially right leg
12 - 5am - tight contractions comes in every 30mins and shorten as time past by more
6am - contractions comes in every 2-3mins
7am - running out of epidural, try to endure and contractions is non-stop
7.30am - Gynae came in and ask to push. 6 pushes with help of nurses and 2 vaccum
7.45am - baby is out, another push for placenta, nurse press on womb and push for blood clot. Baby is being clean up and put aside for weighing
8.00am - await for shivering of epidural to subside
8.15am - push out of delivery ward with baby
It's hard to believe with my eyes that little one is right in front of me! We are thankful for a super confinement nanny - Aunty Chong who is a wonderful baby care-taker! With her, I can have a good rest and assurance that everything is okay.
On 14 Dec evening (Hubby's birthday eve), I came down with high fever for no reasons. He sponged me for 4 hrs in the middle of the night till my body temperature when back to normal. But on 15 Dec, I was down with super high fever again (41 degree!), somehow Hubby told me I was unconscienous and forgotten things that happened and utter rubbish. And with the high fever, the fear was for him to lose me which I also told him I cant remember what happen but it was really a feeling of satan and God fighting. I only rememebered calling to God for help (How much I want to live on and love my family, see my little Rayan growing up!). The next thing I know is that I am in the hospital, awake and everyone talking to me about what happened earlier.
The high fever when up and down (btw 38-39 plus degree) for 5 days. I had 2 doc who were observing me. I felt really depressed and misses the little fellow so much. My days in hospital is filled with drips, injections, sudden shiver and hotness every few hours. I was puzzled and tired, what's happening to me? I did lotsa of blood tests and an ultra sound, even my gynae came down to do a check-up (to ensure that nothing was left behind after delivery). On the 6 or 7 day or hospitalisation, I did a CT scan, finally detected that I had kidney inflammation and docs can use the correct medication to cure me! So trend on fever is tracked and with observation and more concentrated antibiotics, I finally got discharged out of the hospital after 9 days! I cant thank God more, my family who was there to ensure that I felt okay and comforting me. Of course, friends and colleagues. Most of all, my dear hubby who is coping much with work, baby, home and myself. He was there to ensure I felt secure and fear that i have post-natal depression (which is slightly) cause for once, I really dont know what is happening to my body and fear of leaving my loved ones, especially the little baby when nothing was found days after many days.
This 2009 Christmas is the 1st time spending at home with a full family reunion and a quiet one without the usual big group but it's the most meaningful one!
To my little Rayan, thank you for being in mummy's life. It's really a mirracle and I want to see you growing up daily. You are another darling and someone who will be loving mummy!
To my dear Hubby, you are another Big Darling. Thank you for your kindness, love, patience to me. To endure everything and loving me unconditionally!
A BIG KISS TO MEN OF MY LIFE!
Goodbye 2009 soon and I look forward for another new, freshing beginning in 2010!!

It's week 39th.. Baby will be here anytime.
I was sick during last weekend. Somehow, I prayed that I will give birth only when I get well. I was coughing and having running nose for no reasons, plus some food contamination and throwing out non-stop for a night(I suspended that it's the coleslaw i took). I felt terrible inside out. Little fellow is sleepy too with the medical I took, even my mum noted that there were lesser kicks.. On Tues, I went to gynae for regular check-up. The cough syrup is too strong for preggie mummy. And I did a Group B Swab Test a week earlier.. It turned out to be POSITIVE (Read more: http://www.childbirth.org/articles/GBS.html). I read a few articles about it during pregnancy and was somehow worry that something will happen, so the test is not in my gynae's package but it was insisted by me (Somehow, I think gynae was surprised at my request) but I felt more relieved that I did. So, more medication added to the normal supplement I took (daily now is around 7 pills per time: multi, folic, neuro, antibodies, running nose, cough).. All for my little baby, if it's my old past, I will dump the meidication away. Hubby was kinda impressed but also felt sad and heartpained that mummy is taking so much. But reassurance it's the best for the little one.
With the swab B positive, it means that I will be on antibodies jab and drip once I go hospital and initially we want to delay the process but my gynae told me in order that no harm come and for medication to take place, once not well, call him and go hospital.
I dont know whether it will be a 'natural' birth without epidural as I have been praying for since I am preggie but I will try my best, specially the guilt I felt after medication impact I have taking for past days.
I guessed everyone had their said on pregnancy. I am not having the best for sure but after reading articles, blogs, experiences, I thank God I am not having the worst too!
Hope to deliver good news soon!!
