Last Pre-Natal Check-Up
Had my last pre-natal check-up and Biometry/Biophysical ultrasound last January 5, and guess what? My OB advised me for a caesarian section OUTRIGHT! Why? As per the ultrasound result, my baby’s estimated weight is 4113 grams (Warlof) already. I was so shocked. I knew it might not be 100 % accurate but I wouldn’t risk my baby’s life just because I want to give birth via NSD. I followed my doctor’s advice. My husband and I made our decision – I will give birth via caesarian section on January 8, 2011 (Saturday).
Baby’s Arrival
Finally, the long wait is over… my precious baby has arrived at 8:02am on January 8, 2011. When I saw my baby, when I heard him cry, and when I finally held him, I forgot all the pain I have experienced from pregnancy to childbirth; I even forgot that I had an incision. The Feeling? It was overwhelming, I could not contain myself.
The recovery?
Very fast! I underwent surgery three years ago due to endometriosis so I already knew how it feels to undergo the knife, and it took me some time to recover. It took me months for me to be able to walk briskly, bend my knees to pick something up, sleep on my side, carry something, and do the things I normally do as a healthy person. But this time, I was so amazed on how fast I have recovered. Inside the birthing room I was so awake that I kept on talking to the nurses and kept on tilting my head from left to right to observe what’s being done on me. I was not so like this three years ago during my surgery. I gave birth at 8:02am, was sent to recovery room at 9:00am, I was still so awake, as in. At 9:30am, I was already asking the nurse what time is it and what time they will send me back to my room. Every 30 minutes I kept on asking every nurse who passes by near me about the time. Finally, at 11:30am, I was roomed-in. My baby was then roomed-in with me at 12:30nn.
