Birth of Go Go and Ni Ni

After almost 8 months of ups and downs in this twin pregnancy, Dr Chen informed on 21 Nov, 2009, Sat that I should plan for a c-section by 24-Nov 2009, Tuesday because the amniotic fluid level for Go Go (boy) is getting low and the placenta is showing signs of aging. That will be 36 weeks + 3 days.

I was naturally disappointed because I was hoping for a minimum of 37weeks... anyway, we decided to take his advice and deliver @ Gleneagles instead of NUH since he has been with us through out this difficult pregnancy.

So on 23 Nov, Monday night, my parents brought me out for a "final" nice dinner @ Tonkichi (upon Min's request) and one round at Orchard Road to take a look at the Xmas lights before I am "confined" for that one month. We had a good dinner, myself, my dad, mom and Min....

I arrived at the hospital around 930 and checked into the ward 6 West, Room 633. Sheldon arrived a little later and Min was sent home with my parents.

I was prepared for the c-section and slept close to 1am. I was very excited about seeing my twins and scared upon the whole process of the epidural c-section. I have decided on epidural again after speaking to the anathestist because he sounded very confident.

Sheldon was with me that night.
