Natural Birth Vs Cesarean Birth

My first birth was a smooth natural birth. This is my 2nd birth but through cesarean. I can say that natural is so much more better, easy n good to me.

Cesarean birth I had gone through so much of pain and disadvantages are so much.

1) gained pain for one week after birth

2) the wound is look ugly now

3) difficult to breastfeed since the wound is very pain

4) bill is costly

5) wound is pain made me cannot carry baby for one week +

6) slim down slower

7) cannot eat ginger

8) cannot shower for one week

I hope next coming birth will be a smooth natural birth. But I do not know when is it. Hehe:)

By the way, thank god for given us a good health and cute angel baby.

Our New Member

Finally came to the day - 28th Jan 2011. We had finally decided for cesarean birth. Early morning, after sending Sheyanne to my in law house, hubby rush to hospital with me. I m a bit nervous yet excited. Nervous since it is very very first operation for me. Excited as I m going to meet my another precious one very very soon.

By 10am + I had changed and get ready for it. Supposed hubby promised to go in with me but who knows he last minutes FFK. I was alone for the C-section. After injection, Doctor started his job. Very fast, I can hear little crying sound. Her sounds was so loud.

As the nurse carry her to me and see, she was just so lovely with fair skin and more hair than her sister - Sheyanne. After doctor done all, it is about 12pm. The whole section takes about 1 hour+.

When I m out, hubby is there waiting for me. Hubby do not have the chance to see the precious one though. I m glad that baby is fine and everything go smooth.

Look like who?

At night, Sheyanne came with in laws to see her lil sister. From her expression, we know that she is not excited and also not happy. But she never cry. May be she need more time to accept it. We prepared a siblings gift for her. She is happy to have the presents.

Hope she loves her "mei mei". My besties all are here to say hello to my 2nd princess too. Although they came late and my wound was so pain to talk much, but I m happy for their coming to support. Thanks for coming!

39th Weeks Pregnancy

My weight: 53.6kgs

Total I had gained 14kgs this pregnancy so far. There's again no good new. Baby head not yet turn down. Doctor did mentioned the water is also not much. But he did not gave me the readngs.

So, finally we had decided to have a cesarean birth on coming Friday 28th Jan 2011. Unless miracle really happened on that morning which my baby head turn down on her own. This is my wish too.

We choose not to drag and wait again due to few reasons:
1) to avoid the emergency case, there are surchanges if anything happened on public holidays and after hospital office hours.
2) Wish to stay at home during this Chinese New Year
3) Risk that we consider since baby head is not turned down

By the way, I would like to thanks Bee Ting for the effort and advises so far to help me on helping baby to turn down. Giving me encouragement not to give up. Thank you very much!

Baby, we are going to meet you by Friday or you pls turned down on your own and choose your birth date yourself. We loves you and well prepared to welcome you, Baby!

38th weeks Pregnancy

My weights: 52.8kgs

There is still no good news again during the check up. We had some discussion and advises from doctor. My water in placenta is started to become lesser but at this stage still consider acceptable. So doctor advised not to drag or delay for too long. He advised we schedule for cesarean.

As estimation the baby should be around 3.0kgs which definitely much bigger than Sheyanne. Sheyanne was born with 2.4kgs only. Is it the baby is too big and not enough space to turn? Doctor cannot answer me why baby still in breech position.

But I told Doctor, can we wait? The worries is only the water if too less it is danger to the baby. In case membrane burst, it is very danger to the baby if the baby head is not down. Doctor request us to go home have a think and discussion. Any decision can call him up.

After discussion with hubby after the check up. We will give ourself and baby another week. Schedule a c-section on 28th Jan. But in case baby head is turned by the scheduled date, we will cancel the c-section and just looking forward for smooth natural birth anytime.

We still never give up and continue doing some inversion exercise to help baby to turn down. Just hope that a miracle will happened on me coz I really hope that I can have a smooth fast natural birth like 1st childbirth.

Baby, we are going to welcome you! Love you...

Outing with Kim alone

Sheyanne was very lucky have lots of loving "kai ma". She likes and remember Kim the most. Tonight suddenly Kim want to bring her out. Kim reached my house around 9.30pm and surprisingly Sheyanne just can follow her out without me or hubby joining.

Hubby was really "fall his spec" as he was thinking she will not willing to follow Kim. Haha:) After they gone, we both enjoyed chit chatting at home and wondering how she was going on with Kim. Haha:)

Riding Elephant

After sometimes, I received what's app photos from Kim. We both was wondering where they both went? I thought Kim just brought her for dessert near by my house. But actually they both went to Leisure Mall for rides. I really dunno Leisure Mall got such rides too. Haha:) Around 10.30pm, finally she was homed with a Minnie Mouse bag and M&M, with another 2 donuts.

Kim said she was there and said," 选哪一个好呢？"

I knew Sheyanne was very tired already, so we both didn't asked her much about what she did. Very soon, she got to her bed and sleep since she ate her flu medicine in the evening. But before sleep, she told me " 姐姐去做工找多多钱买 Mickey Mouse 给Ann Ann." Haha:)

Kim told me a lots of interesting story about her too. I feel that she getting more independent and good girl nowadays. Hope she keep it up to behave well.

Thanks a lots, I bet Sheyanne was very happy had an outing with Kim, but next time no need buy her many things when outing. If not she will be use to it, sure every outing she got something. Hehe:)

37th Weeks Pregnancy

Today I went for check up alone. This is the very first time check up without hubby. Actually I m very nervous, scared, and full of fear for this check up. Reason is up to date till now, baby head is still not yet fully turned down.

My weight: 51.6kgs.

Through my this pregnancy, I had totally gained 12kgs from 39.6kgs. I m looking forward for a smooth natural birth. Unfortunately, baby had disappointed me again during the check up. Her head is on my right side and legs on my left side.

As this situation, Doctor advised for cesarean birth. NO, I do not want a cesarean birth. But I had tried my method to help baby to turn down. Talk to her very often but still the same. Why? My worries and fears came across to me. What happened to her? Is she ok?

I wish to have natural birth as before not only because the financial of medical surgical fees and also I scared of the feeling of letting people cut on me. Hate that feeling and I had never been done any operation at all. This time is very near CNY and I know hubby is very tension about it also. Since he is the eldest in the family, after marriage, his burden is even heavy to take care our family and his family. Nowadays CNY to us is all about spending money only. Not like childhood time, got new clothes, new shoes, from top to toes all new, nice food, snacks & drinks all even fire crickets.

I did asked Doctor why sometimes my stomach is very hard till I feel very uncomfortable. He told me coz my due date is near. If stomach is very hard + pain, means giving birth soon. He wrote me a letter of admission in case I want to birth anytime from now. But due to special case, it is a breech baby so far, he warned me not to eat and drink any before admit if anything happened coz I might need an emergency operation anytime.

But since I do not wish to have cesarean birth, he said try another week and see how is the status. By next week if baby position no improve, then he asked us to be prepared to go for cesarean. Haih.......

Baby, Mummy want you to try your best to turn down by your own and lets have a smooth natural varginal birth. We all are here always welcome and loves you. Can't wait your arrival to join us. We always loves you!

Outing Photoshooting Day

Sheyanne:" Mei Mei, I Love you!"

Since hubby is working today even it is a public holiday. CY invited me as her model for pregnancy photoshooting. I bring Sheyanne together for the shooting as well. Early morning, CY & Justin came to my place to pick us and WY joined us together too.

The weather is good and we had choosen the Bukit Jalil Park as our venue. A fun big playground and playland for Sheyanne to spend her energy there. She was so excited in the morning after I told her we are going to Park with "jie jie". She was bagging me to go down after changed even CY not reach yet. Haih..:)

So we waited downstairs and she was seems impatience after a while of waiting. Keep asking me,"why jie jie not yet reach?" Our "car" finally reach by 9.10am. Sheyanne act a bit shy in car when satrting. After some chat and playig tickles, she is ok already.
