The Delivery

After lunch, Daddy & Mummy continued to rest...actually only Daddy rested, cuz Mummy is still feeling a little discomfort from the continuing contractions.

1440 - Dr Han paid Mummy a visit, and after the check, he declared that Mummy has fully dilated, and will be ready for delivery soon.

1545 - A midwife came by to help Mummy revise on her 'pushing' procedures, as well as to prepare the necessary apparatus for delivery.

1600 - The pain became unbearable. Midwife tried to assist Mummy into various positions to facilitate baby's movement down the birth canal. Daddy was also hard at work, helping to support her head in her pushes.

1630 - The contractions are now too fast and too furious. Mummy was in severe pain. The same process of pant, pain, push is repeated over and over again. Dr Han soon arrived, and waved his wand.

1649 - The magical moment has arrived. Our Baby Prince was born at 1649H. Daddy was so excited that he almost forgot to cut the umbilical cord. Mummy reminded him, and Daddy performed his fatherly duty with pride. Baby was promptly cleaned up and checked by the staff nurse. He weighed in at 3.190kg and was measured to be 49cm long, with a head circumference of 35cm.








Dr Han and the nurses proceeded to clean up Mummy and soon, she was looking radiant as before!
