 I was still wondering how does contraction feels like and on 22nd July 6pm onwards, I started to feel a kind of "pulling" cramp pain at my lower abdominal.

Doctor advise to monitor the pain if its come every 5 minutes and each pain last about 1-2 minutes.

So I monitor while enduring the pain and also waiting for my hubby to be back.

Around 7pm, I confirmed that I'm going to deliver soon.

8pm - reached KK hospital delivery suite and was brought in to do the 1 hour scan to monitor the contraction (means I got to endure another hour of pain again!!)

9pm - Doctor confirmed that I'm ready for delivery so I was being pushed via wheelchair to the delivery ward. My below was open about 4-5cm and have to wait for hours for it to open till 8-10cm before I can PUSH!! While waiting and I'm still in pain, finally the nurse came to ask me if I need my painkiller (epidural) now? Still dare to say I'm very good at enduring pain never come request epidural from them. I was like -_-!! I didn't know I could request to have my epidural as soon as I need it. URGH!!!

12am - Finally it was open till 8cm and I can start pushing my baby out. It was a painless labor as the epidural works very well on me. I feel so numb that the only thing I can do is just PUSH!!

1 plus am - POOOOHHH!! Out comes my baby boy

 

 

 I got a evil hubby that can ask me to smile to take photo while I in great pain. And every time my contraction came, he will laugh happily at me cause I'm being torture. >.<

 

This little boy of mine, sleep tends to make so much noises and so many patterns sleeping style.

See his facial expression can really makes my day.

 

 

 

Today marked the end of 38 weeks of my pregnancy and I so got craving for dim sum.

But the dim sum restaurant I preferred (Taste Paradise @ ION Orchard) does not served dim sum around 2 plus 3pm when hubby and I reached. The service there were not very good but the dim sum there were awesome.

 

Therefore to satisfy my craving, we went to Plaza Singapura to try the Tim Ho Wan dim sum which a lot people are crazy about. I always saw people posting the dim sum there (saying the dim sum were good) and the queue super long but don't know is it my baby's luck, the queue were not that long and we queue like 5 minutes and managed to get a seat.

 

I noticed that the menu of the food are quite limited and they do not have my favorite "Char Shao Su"!! So disappointing. 

 

Overall I find that the food there are quite average. Not worth the time queuing. I doubt I will go there for dim sum again.

How do you find Singapore new coins?

For me, I still preferred the old version of the coins design. Easier to differentiate the 20 and 50 cents coins as you can see the new version of the 20 and 50 cents are about the same size which will easily confuse user. 

 

 

 

End of this week will be week 37 of pregnancy which means is FULL TERM. Yeahhh... Any time can see my little boy, Cayto Tan. But I'm still counting down to week 40 and that will be full 10 months preganancy. Hope that my boy will be chubby and healthy handsome dude. =)

Fyi, 37 to 40 weeks considered FULL TERM pregnancy.

Baby comes out before week 37 will be premature which is not very good.

See!! My tummy is big enough to hold my phone.
