June 15th : admission to Pantai Medical Center, Bangsar
Reason......waterbag burst and leaking amniotic fluid. We were at KLCC Signature Foodcourt for dinner when I felt a gush of water flowing out. Checked back home and noticed that I was also bleeding. More fluid gushed out too. Called my gynae promptly and she advised admission that night itself. Went straight to Labour room and spent the night there. Fetal monitoring throughout the night and no 'action' at all.... just little bit more leakage and bleeding. Dr Yap said she will check on me in the morning.
June 16th : Elective C-section by Dr Yap Moy Juan & Dr Patrick Chia
Reason...... no progress in labour.... no contractions and cervix not dilated...plus was tested positive for Group B strep earlier.......
Epidural given by Dr Satber Kaur (painless procedure) so I was able to witness entire surgery.
Marissa was delivered at 2:30pm by Dr Patrick Chia who used all his 'lunch power' to pull Marissa out!
Larry took the photos with the camera in the OT itself. He felt rather squeamish watching the surgery so he preferred not to look but just sat near me. He didn't even take a photo of the placenta nor cut the umbilical cord.
Peace & quiet! Discharged from hospital on June 18th. Bilirubin levels were slightly high on 2nd day of birth so Marissa actually had phototherapy done.
