Had my last appointment at the hospital with the midwife earlier today. Everything is well...baby's heartbeat is strong. Baby is in her posterior position (facing my back), same as Caleb the last time. But guess it doesn't really matter now as it's going to be a elective caeserean anyway. Time flies...today is Monday and the following Monday, I will be seeing my daughter!! I am so excited to meet her for the 1st time but at the same time, so scared of the pain I will be experiencing after the surgery.
I remembered the extreme pain I felt after the surgery as I was basically bedridden for 2 days with a drip. I couldn't take care of Caleb for the 2 nights and the midwife had to help me with him at the nurses' station so I can rest. I only managed to get out of bed to the toilet and had a bath on the 3rd day so I took care of Caleb on my own for the next 2 nights before I was discharged on the 5th day. My wound took a long time to heal...almost 3 mths for all the pain to go away and for the wound to dry.
So I hope this round, it will be less painful? I guess it will take a miracle to be painless eh? hehehe...just a wishful thought! But just hope this time, the wound will heal faster.
Guess when I am in the hospital, I will miss Caleb the most! Visitors are only allowed till 8pm while spouse are till 9pm and no one are able to stay overnight. My room in the ward will have 4 ladies so means 4 babies...unless there are some twins? So it will be a pretty crowded room therefore there are restriction in number of visitors. On the 10th, I will have to report to admissions at the Royal Womens Hospital at 645am. Surgery time will be sometime between 8am to 11am. Guess what time my baby will be born? The one who guessed the correct timing will be awarded a mystery gift!
Start guessing! You got 6 days to guess!
