Welcoming Baby S

On the 18th January 2017, we checked into Thomson Medical Center (TMC) to welcome our first child Baby S. Being someone who dislike drama and needs to be in control of things, I choose to under go the knife for an elective c-section. It is purely a personal decision which i know will gather a lot of opinion and hate towards, but my belief is always to each our own and all mummies no matter what they choose to do wants nothing but the best for their child and so we are in no position to judge.

Anyway, we checked into TMC at 6 plus in the morning. After registration, I was immediately admitted to my ward where i can chill and wait for the C-section at 9a.m.

The morning before setting off from home! 

Chilling in my ward. 

As I choose to stay in the Premium Single Ward, which Stanley can stay with me overnight for all 3 nights. The room was really nice, kind of like staycation in a hotel. We were anxious to meet the little one and as time past and 9a.m. draws close we get more and more excited. 

8a.m. was told to change and wait for the nurse to come in and prep me. 

8.30a.m. the nurse arrive to prep me for the op! 

After which I was wheeled into the Operating Room and more waiting take place. Wait wait wait for the doctors to arrive! 8.45a.m., both my doctors arrive; my obgyn (Dr Claudine Tan) and the epidural doc (Dr Yvonne Lim). 

8.50a.m. Stanley was ready outside for his time to step into the OR. 

Once in the OR, Dr Yvonne prep to get me all numb from waist down, I guess she is really good as it did not feel painful and what i heard from everyone, I was given laughing gas first, but they were all talking to me and I was chatting while they are busy with preparing for the operation. 

Once I was all ready they begin a little before getting Stanley in. Once Stanley is in, it all goes very fast and at 9.03a.m. our little baby was out!

After this, it starts my stay in TMC. The stay was good really great in fact. I was very well taken care of my the nurses and doctor. 

All clean up and spending time with me! 

eyes open! 

We agree to only have vistors after 2p.m. and so visitors started pouring in! 

She was room in with me in the day, you can request for it but if you think you want to rest you can leave her in the nursery. 

But i prefer to have her as I wanna be able to care for her independently at home even if I have a Confinement Nanny. 

So much love from everyone! 

The food at TMC was great! Love the soup programme the most! And the Green papaya fish soup was sooooo yum that I got an extra serving home on the last day! 

Every meal comes with a veg, a meat a soup and fruits or desserts. 

I choose the confinement meal as I wanna be good! 

Ok besides breakfast! 

She is soooo cute!

Milk Coma! 

Breakfast is great!! 

Overall the stay was a good one with many nice experience and lots of love from everyone, I was able to walk from day 2 and I bathe from day 2 onwards too! Hee Hee. Stay Tune for more Baby S.
