Recap of my pregnancy journey- Trimester 2 & 3

During my 2nd trimester, everything is back to normal. I could eat so well and I have some cravings. I was craving for stingray, Satay... basically all the local food. Indeed it was the best time to travel too. I was "bless" to go on a trip to Perth. Though I can eat but I still have to be careful. I avoid all raw seafood. I had to eat well done steaks which was a waste to the juicy tender steaks in Perth. Nothing big whoo haa about it in 2nd trimester. But it was in mine 2nd trimester, I feel more of him moving in me. I also remembered watching his little movements during the ultra sound, I saw his little tiny hand waving. Tears start rolling down my cheeks. I'm so humbled by the wonderful creation by our Almighty Lord has bless me with. Literally, a little life was formed within me. In my 3rd trimester, I was superbly tire. I sleep long hours and I too ate alot more and more cravings too. And this was also the start of many more kickings by my little one in me. I recalled calling his name and singing to him, he would move from left to right of my tummy. Then came to the last few weeks before my due date, there was a feeling of "missing". I would miss having this little one in me. I would miss having a "balloon". I would miss all the kickings in me. I had all my stuff packed and a "ready- to- go" bag. On 21st May 2012 I woke up early and went to the wash room. I took a leak discovered spotting and mom said I could be in labor. Then came waves of labor pain. As this is my first child, I didn't know it was labor pain. But it was consistent and I thought I could be in labor. I bear the waves of pain insisting of not going to the hospital that early. I ate a heavy breakfast and bear with the increasing pain. I also had to contact my aunt to give me a lift to the hospital. It was about 245pm when I left home. at 315pm I went to report that I could be in labor and was asked to go to the labor ward for observation as my due date was supposed to be 27th May and it could be false labor. I was told by the nurse that it could take up to an hour to determine if I was in real labor. So hubby was waiting and I was inside. The nurse told me i could use my hp and I was "oops" its all with hubby. So i thought to myself i'm going to be very bored. But I was not as the pain increases and the gap of the labor gets intense. I am already dilated by 5cm. The doctor was shocked and I was pushed to go and give birth. I refused the epidural and the feeling of wanting to push with no doctors around came. I held the side railings of the bed and I couldn't shout at all. All i did was squeeze the railings and make noise like as if someone was attacking me covering my mouth. The doctor came and had to give me an "IV" drip and it was like all "hell" broke out in the room. It was in short notice that they were not very ready but I was all ready and the little one in me simply wants to come out. My water bag burst. " The head is out" I heard the nurse shouted. "Just one long push and that will do" she shouted. They help me with my hands to hold my ankles and I pushed. Out came my little Jayden at 5.21pm. All the pain just simply buried under the overwhelming joy. It was all worth it.
