MummyLo has seen it done many times and it was one of my worse fear to have a huge needle poking in the spinal spaces.
The anesthetist was an experienced doctor, not a registrar.
DaddyLo was too scare to look.
Cold antiseptic solution was applied.
Sharp pain from the subcutaneouslocal anesthetic.
One, two, three... Deep breath.
Done. My lower half of the body was filled with warmth then numbness.
Good work, I thought, I faced my worse fear with a fantastic anesthetist.
The hospital staff wheeled me in the operation theatre and prepped me for the cesarean.
After 10 mins of pulling, pushing, tucking and stretching, we were delighted with the birth of Kayla Hoi Kay Lo 盧凱琦. Her entrance to the world was a graceful scene, apart from the sight of her umbilical cord being wrapped around her body and legs several times.
Everyone exclaimed how lucky that she was taken out today.
Welcome to our family,our beautiful girl.
Kayla was looking straight into my eyes minutes after she was born |
Crying loudly as she was weigh and cleaned |
She measured 47cm and weigh 2.98 Kgs |
DaddyLo and Granddaddy Mak had to look after her for the whole hour while Mummylo was being zipped back up. They both said that she was very alert and was staring at them for the whole hour |
Off to sleep for the first time outside the luxury of the womb |
