Happy Labour day !

Happy Labour day to Dillion's Mum.. When i recall what I went through a year ago, memories and tears start flooding back.

I ponder if i have not been eating enough when Dillion was still inside me that he ended up so light weight at birth. Nevertheless, I'm glad to be able to experience natural birth with epi and definitely no regrets on succumbing to epi.

My labour was only 5hours but when i had my contractions, that seem to be eternity! It was so god-dammed painful that i got my hand and legs clinging on to the bed rail. It was painful to power of infinity. Nurse praise me for being so gung-ho but gave in to epi (after 5contractions)when i got 'scolded' by kevin as he knows my pain threshold.

Epi was definitely god-sent. Thereafter my legs were numb but it was quite frantic as Dillion's heart beat was weakening.. i was made to use the mask. I was worried and dilligently breath in as much oxygen as possible as i do not wish to be cut up.

At 8pm, Dr Khi check on me and I'm fully dilated. With all my might and support from Kevin for shouting "Push" which highly motivated me.. with 3pushes, i manage to push what feel like a 'big constipated shit' out of me at 8.18pm.

When they bring this lil' one on to my chest, no words can describe and this feeling was so magical and emotional.
