The Stork Always Visited in August
Posted Wed 5 Sep 2007 @ 07:06
It's very rare for me to be able to access efx2.
But on this rare occasion when I'm here, I have an announcement to make.
The baby is here. Yes, she arrived 2 months early. I had a pre-term labour and she was in breech position. So I was forced to go for a c-section last Thursday. So, I didn't feel much labour pain but now I'm having the post-caesarean pain instead. There's also the pain of seeing all the tubes, wires and needle marks on her. And now I'm home, there's the pain of being separated from my baby.
I gave birth on the 30th August and was discharged on Monday 3rd September. Baby Aimi is still in the Special Care Unit. She may have to stay there for about 5 weeks, ie until the time she's supposed to be full-term. But I really hope and pray that she won't have to stay that long. She weighs 1.84 kg (about 4 lbs 1 oz) at birth which is rather big for her age. She needed to be given help in breathing at first but now she is already breathing on her own.
She still has tube for feeding and I'm expressing the milk for her. The hospital lets me borrow the machine for a 10 pound deposit. I hope to try to nurse her directly tomorrow. Poor Aimi has to sleep alone in the hospital.
BTW, Junior and CB will start school tomorrow.
