As you all know mummy's placenta and my umbilical cord were not in the right positions so at the end doctor decided that a cesarean had to be done.
Everything started on the evening on the 14th. After taken the last picture of me still inside mummy's tummy, mum and dad decided to submit to the hospital to prepare for the big day.
In hospital mummy's got strict restrictions not to eat OR drink at all. Because of the big day next morning, mummy could not sleep for the whole night. Mummy had given daddy strict order not to be late that morning because the cesarean were schedule around 08:30 so as soon as daddy got home he set three different alarm clock just to be sure. But of course daddy was so nervous that he also had a hard time falling asleep and at the end he didn't even needed the alarm clock to wake him up.
Daddy arrived at the hospital about an hour early so he and mummy just sat outside the delivery room and waited. Around 08:00 the anesthetic arrived and went through the procedures and risk. After the little meeting it was time for mummy to get change and get ready for operation. Daddy was planned to go in and sit beside my during the operation but because of another mummy came in for an emergency C-section my birth was delayed by almost an hour and daddy was nervous because he was just standing outside and waiting...and waiting...and waiting...
Inside the operation theater the anesthetic was talking to mummy and calming her down.
She gave her two injection, one on the left hand to stabilize mummy's blood pressure and one in the back for the anesthesia. Immediately after that mummy's left leg started to get warm and the doctor tested if she could feel anything which she could not. After the catheter was inserted it was time for daddy to come the operation theater. Just to stop daddy from seeing all the blood and faint the nurse put a big green blanket.
Just as daddy sat down next to mummy the doctor asked:"Do you feeling anything?" and then they started..........and of course mummy could feel anything.
Not to far in to the operation the doctor said:"She is on the way, I need somebody to push above the tummy". So one of the nurses went behind mummy head and started to push downward on the tummy and she push really hard and mummy got so scared. Not to far after one of the nurse said:" O..here she is, and she is so beautiful." Then they heard a "slurping" sound because they had to clean my mouth and throat after that I immediately started to cry and cryed really loud. As soon as mummy and daddy heard me crying they burst in happy tears. Mummy cried so much that the nurse told her to take a deep breath and so did daddy because he was afraid this could effect her blood pressure.
It took a while before they could see me and mummy was wondering why it took such a long time. While the nurse cleaned me up they also show a picture of me to mum and dad, mum thought I had a big nose and "Angelina Julie" lips just like daddy. Afterwards the nurse carried me over to mum and dad and they could see me for the very first time and we took our very first family picture.
After some picture talking it was time to shower me and see how heavy I am. Daddy went along with the nurse while mummy had to stayed so the doctor could take care.
When doctor had finished. Mum was taken to a post-anesthesia care unit to rest while the doctor could explain how the operation went. As you may have guessed everything went very well. Mum did not lose much blood (880ml to be exact) and the amniotic was normal.
Dr. Mok said that she couldn't eat or drink for at least 6hrs and that she could not leave the bed for the day.
Later that evening the nurse to me out so mum could see me again.
