My Greatest Achievement

On 23^rd August 2007, I gave birth to a baby boy, we named him Ezra Lee Tian Hao.

I still remember that day around 6a.m in the morning, I prepared to admit to hospital because I saw the “symptom” of giving birth. After I settled down at Pudu Specialist, my parents in law came to visit me to give me support.

How happy they are going to be promoted to grandpa and grandma.

Around 9a.m., I followed the nurse to the labor room. There is another lady going to give birth too.

After I entered the labor room, I laid on the bed and I can feel the contraction getting stronger and stronger. I keep on praying to God, “please help me, please don’t let me suffer so long, please let the baby come out as soon as possible.”

I got my hubby accompany me in the labor room to give me support.

On and on, the midwife came to check the heart beat of the baby. After 3 hours, she came to check me again and she said I’m ready to push out the baby now. But then, the other lady at the next room also ready at the same time. So the midwife and gynea walk here and there to look after both of us. However, my contractions suddenly stop. If no contraction, I will not able to push out the baby. So I just relax and wait for the contraction to come again. I can hear clearly that the lady at next room shout very loud and finally her baby girl is born. I was so happy for her when I hear the baby cry.

After that, the gynea came to me and helps me to deliver the baby. Because of the baby’s head is not in the right position, the gynea decided to help me by using vacuum. Finally, at 12:55p.m., my baby came to this world. I was relieved when I hear my baby cry. Thank God that giving birth is actually not so pain as what I imagine.

After cleaning the baby, the nurse sent him to the baby room. Of course his father took this opportunity to snap some pictures of our new born baby.

The baby was placed in the baby room together with his “girl friend”. I don’t have chance to carry him until I went in to breast feed him.

This is the greatest achievement in my life.
