Introducing.....Daria Syazmin!!!

Yes, I've finally delivered..a healthy baby girl!! Another one!! Hahahaha, people have been sms'ing me..Congratulations on your Powerpuff Girls/Totally Spies/Charlie's Angels. Oh my, hubby is so outnumbered.

As I predicted in my last post, it turned out that I was 5cm dilated. I think my doctor was actually more relieved than I was. Hee. They wheeled me in directly into the labour room and started hooking up the IV drip. My doctor came a few minutes later and helped break my water bag. She also had to "dig in" and push the baby's head lower as the head was still high. Don't ask, it's as gruesome as it sounds.

Hubby was there for most of the action. He almost missed the actual delivery. In fact, so did my doctor. Yep, there was a time when I went from 7cm to 10cm in 5 minutes. Maybe it was less but what I remember was the nurse trying to get me to turn to my left as the baby's heartbeat was showing some distress. Now, I was in the midst of a MAJOR contraction at the time; no way could I move or anything. So in the end, the nurses had to push and hold me onto my side. They had called the doctor already because they were concerned about the baby.

I remember one of the nurses asking me whether I felt like pooping; classic sign of the baby turning and preparing to come out. I remember saying no, not yet. Then 10 seconds later, I was screaming "I NEED TO POOP!! I NEED TO POOP!!" In the midst of my screams, I was also calling out for hubby (he was standing out the labour room because of all the commotion). One nurse went to call him in, while the other one told me "DO NOT PUSH!! The doctor's on the way".

Are you freaking kidding me?!! I screamed back "I DON'T CARRRREEEE!!" and proceeded to push. I felt the head come out and the nurses calling for suction. What happened next was a bit hazy; I don't remember when hubby came in or when the doctor arrived. I just remember excruciating pain then...nothing. Just sounds of my baby crying. And the feeling of it kicking around my thigh area. Apparently everything happened so quickly, they didn't even have time to put me into stirrups.

I was admitted at 1.11pm and delivered at 3.15pm. Welcome to the world, Daria Syazmin.

One day old.
Massive head of hair!! It's what everyone comments on upon seeing her.
