Baby Bryan is born!

Hi, my name is Baby Bryan. I am born on 14 March 2008.

Poor Mummy Melody suffer contraction plus some water bag leakage since the afternoon before and Auntie Grace advised Daddy to bring Mummy to hospital.

At midnight on 14 March, Mummy and Daddy reached the hospital and Mummy Gynae's Dr Adrain decided to let Mummy go ahead with the contraction.

At about 3am, they moved from the observation ward to the normal ward but barely an hour later, Mummy's contraction became more frequent and they transferred back to the observation ward again. Mummy is now 1cm dilated.

6am: Mummy wanted epidural as contraction became every 2 minutes.

7am: Don't feel the contraction anymore although still present. Dilation still 1cm.

10am: Dr Adrain came and encouraged Mummy. He said baby will definitely be born today earliest around 5pm. Dilation now 4cm.

12noon: Daddy hungry so went for a bite.

1pm: 2nd dose of epidural.

1.30pm: Nurse suddenly exclaimed dilation already 10cm! Immediately started to prepare birth ward. Mummy became very frightened. Daddy kept consoling Mummy and in the meantime talking to me, encouraging both of us to be strong.

1: 50pm: Dr Adrain came to examine Mummy. He said can touch my head. Then he asked Mummy to start pushing and will come back again shortly.

2pm: Nurses said Mummy doing so well that they asked Dr Adrain to come back again immediately. Mummy continued to push.

2:13pm: I was born! Dr Adrain delivered me and carryed me to elated Mummy and Daddy. Daddy also cut my umbilical cord for Stem Cord cord blood banking.

Below are my birth particulars:
Pregnancy Week: 38 weeks 6 days
