Gave Birth Na!

I would like to thank everyone who texted and emailed me their congratulations! Di ko na kayo iisa-isahin baka may makalimutan ako.

January 3, 2008 (Thursday), at lunch time I went in for my weekly check-up, was still anticipating the "closer interval ng contractions" or the "waterbag break" or the "bloody show" that everyone was telling me na when you see/feel those that "IT'S TIME NA". My OB-Gyne (a friend of my father-in-law), checked my BP and IE (Internal Examination), I was 3cm internally and 2cm (was that for a week na khit ngalay nako) sa outer pero super soft na daw cervix ko. OB-Gyne just made an admission slip and ask his assistant to accompany me to the E.R. I asked our driver to go back to bodega where my hubby is (I stopped driving myself to check-ups after my 36th wk when OB said I was dilated na), so that hubby can join me and do the paperworks.

They prep me sa labor room, hooked me up sa fetal monitor. Around 3pm they broke my water bag to see if amniotic fluid is still clear, added a little dose of oxytocin. I was trying to push every contractions, i was feeling inip na, i wanted, actually desperately missing Caitlyn na. I oh so wanted it to get it done na ASAP. from 3cm at 3pm, i was 8cm na at 5pm. At 6:16pm, I gave birth via normal delivery (without any anaesthesia) to CANDICE JANELLE GO, she weighed-in at 6.82lbs and 48cm long ...

Presenting the newest addition to our family . . .

Giving birth sounds so technical - to you! :) Congratulations to you and Claude! Love the "nanggigigil" photo of Caitlyn pointing to her baby sister.
