The day when Princess Janelle was brought to this World!

Well, this blog might seems a bit late as Janelle is now reaching 3 months!!!Let me update some info on the day when Princess Janelle was brought to this world.

I can still remember very clearly on 17th March 09 (Week 37), I went to see my Gynae and was asked immediately to stop work cause my 2 legs were too swollen. And we had decided on a c-section date. It was scheduled to be on 24th March 09, Tuesday afternoon. So I had to start my maternity leave from 19th March 09 onwards cause my Gynae had given me MC for 18th & 19th of March 09.

On 22nd March 09 early morning, I had bleeding and mild contractions!!! I was panicking and etc. Called my sis and gynae at about 6+am!!! I still remembered that I should be going for my weekly check up on next day. Gynae asked me to go down to his clinic at 8.30am. My hubby, sis and Mum went with me to the clinic. After seeing the Gynae, he decided that go to do C-Sect this afternoon! Was not able to try natural birth. Was advised by the nurse to reach the hospital about 10am. Since East Shore hospital was just around the clinc, we decided to go to the hospital straight away.

When i reached the hospital, i was asked to take a rest first and changed etc since the C-Sect is scheduled at about 1+pm. I asked my hubby, sis and mum to go home first since it's still early. Luckily I asked my sis to leave with me her laptop so that I can watch online movie. Times really fly!!! At about 12.45pm, the nurse came and wheeled my down to the operating theatre. Was a bit panic etc and there was no labour pains for me at all. Things happen really like a dream! I remembered talking to Dr Ernest and Dr Sandy, but last than 15mins, I felt asleep. That's when Princess Janelle was brought to this world!!! Here's some info of her.

Birth Date: 22nd March 09

Place of Birth: East Shore Hospital

Birth Weight: 4.49 kg

Birth Height: 55 cm

Birth Head Circumference: 35 cm

Type of Birth: C-Section with General Anesthesia

When I was awake, I heard Dr Ernest telling me that I had given birth to a chubby gal. When I reached the ward, I asked hubby how heavy is Janelle. I got a shocked when he told me. It's unbelievable! 4.49kg??? I asked again as I thought I heard wrongly about it. And she said 4.49kg again. Haha, I had given birth to such a "huge" baby! Luckily I go for C-Sect and not natural birth, if not I really can't imagine the labour pain which I had to go through.
