30 Jul 2008 marks a new chapter of my life. After waiting for 38 weeks and 6 days, my son has finally reported to this world, he was supposed to report on 7 August 2008. Some may wonder, what's the big deal, its just another baby into this world. For those who have kids would agree with me that it's another journey from marriage stage to pregnancy stage and from pregnancy stage to baby born stage ( there are many other stages behind). All these stages contained many many good and not so good memories and experiences.
When my wife was feeling contraction at the frequency of 5-7 mins, I knew my baby would be due earlier. At 2300 hrs yesterday, I brought my wife to our designated hospital , Thomson Medical Centre for admission after consulting the gynae , Dr Lawrence Ang (who happens to be a triathlete too). It took me almost 50 mins to 1 hour from being in queue waiting for my turn for admission at the counter till admission was done. ( of course all these while , my wife was already in the observation room).
After all the administrative was done, I went to look for my wife. She was having contraction every 5 mins interval and the interval got shorter at around 0200 hrs this morning. All these while, there was nothing I could do except holding her hands and console her. By this time, the nurse shifted her to the labour ward as the cervix has dilated for 4 cm (10 cm ) .
It was only until 0800hrs when the cervix had dilated to 10 cm. The nurse started to prepare my wife for labour. The pain that my wifewent through was really painful.

At 0820 hrs , the nurse started to assist my wife and told her to push hard at every contraction.
By 0830 hrs , Dr Lawrence arrived to make the whole labour process smoother. He had to use a vaccum to suck the head out as it was still too far inside.
By 0840, I saw my baby's head and 1 minute later, he's finally delivered. Thanks to Dr Lawrence Ang and also the 2 nurses who helped my wife during the labour. You guys were great !
