The D-Day

26th May 2008, during the last of Mama's checkup, Dr Nakayama said Mama had threathening PIH (Pregnancy Induced Hypertension), so they decided to disturb me. They wanted to take me out from my first-class environment to the face the reality of the world. I don't want, I want to be in Mama's stomach, all food and drink and even pee n poo-poo are from the same channel, dun have to worry about anything.

27th May 2008, Mama went to Aiiku Hospital to get ready for the D-day ! The doctors need to make Mama's cervix dilated to at least 3cm, but after checking, Doctor said she was already 5cm, so they skipped the process. Doctor even casually said might even give birth naturally tonight ! Of course I am not coming out of my comfortable first class suite.

28th May 2008, I am still enjoying my last moments in Mama's stomach. Papa came to the hospital early at 6am. Both Mama and Papa was brought to the delivery suite, hmmm.. suite but it was nothing like my first class suite. See... got no food and drinks ... only scary machine and a miserable radio.

The midwife, started the drip on Mama at 8am. Mama ...ya-ya papaya kept saying not pain, over the next few hours the midwife kept increasing the dosage of the drip, the pain become more intense for mama, but still bearable. Mama was trying to keep her word of going without Epidural, cos it very expensive, enough to buy a LV bag !

Stubborn me, still want to be in my suite for as long as possible. Mama also try to contain her pain by relaxing on the couch, which make me more comfortable in her stomach, cos I cannot slide down. By late afternoon, mama was in terrible pain, poor Papa got scolding, squeezing, scratching from Mama. Papa kept warning Mama when the pain is coming by reading the number off the machine, pissed Mama off and asked him to shut up !

Dinner was served, Mama was too much in pain to eat. However, the tam chiah Papa like me, instead of supporting Mama when she was pain pain, he sneaked off to eat his dinner, somemore, his own dinner still not enough he ate Mama's dinner too !! Mama was so mad, scolding him still got mood to eat and eat !! Papa's motto "A hungry man, is a angry man" so must eat.

Midwife and Doctor came by to check and said is 9.5cm already. Finally, reaching 10cm soon !! By now, Mama decided it was enough of pain and getting late. 12 hours has passed and I still refused to come out. Mama decided not to sit down and stand up for gravity to do the work. True enough, I was sliding down faster, but Mama was in very intense pain screaming and kicking away.

"I want to poo, I got to poo NOW !!!" Mama was screaming to Papa. Papa quickly push the red button and the cute midwife ran in. She checked Mama and said is not poo-poo is my head coming out !! She asked Papa to push another red button, then in a flash, the door opened, and a few midwives and nurses all rushed in pushing their equipment in too.

Finally the show started, somehow Mama was very relieved, finally can push ! Yes, PUSH... there was 3 midwives around Mama, one on left, right and bottom, all were teaching Mama how to push and when to push. Seems like my head was kinda of big, Doctors was shaking their heads, and decided to help me out by giving Mama a little cut. With a big push, popped I was out at 9:38pm JST. There goes my first class suite life.



Firstly, I got to breathe by myself. The Doctors had to give me oxygen, as I was a little out of breath while squeezing out.
