As I have decided to go for a c-sect on my second pregnancy as my cervix was incompetence to dilate in my first.

I guess I will tell you the c-sect procedure. I am not allowed to eat anything (after midnight) the night before. At 8am, I checked into the hospital. Brought to the labor room and changed to the hospital gown. The nurse did a shave for me and pumped a liquid to clean my bowel.

At 8:30, the operation room called for me. The nurse put a catheter tube for urinating. Push me to the cold operation room. My gynae came in at 8:30. He is a punctual doc. The anaesthetic doc was in the operation room, he told me to say hello to my gynae first before he gas me. I smile and greet my gynae when he came in and I couldn’t remember a thing after that.

I was woken up, my hubby told me my baby gal is very cute and he took lots of picture. I did not felt tired so I started sending out MMS to all my colleagues and friends.

After c-sect delivery, I cannot eat for 24 hours. The doc said that I can have warm water or milo at night. Next morning, I was happy when the doc sez I can have lunch. I never was so hungry in my life. So I call the nurse to bring food to me asap as I am hungry.

The hospital actually serves confinement food, big bowl of fish ginger porridge and a delicious apple. I was about to dig my teeth in it then the paed came in to tell me my baby’s condition. It was the longest ever minute I ever felt. I believe I did not hear a word of what he said. After he left, I ate everything on the tray.
