Dino was induced in week 38 as he was getting huge (3.5 kgs as at 07/09/09)... MIL was asking me to "wait till the 7th lunar month" was over, so she wasnt very pleased when was being told that Dino needs to be delivered during the Ghost month...
Since we have the choice to induce, I was actually looking at delivering on 09/09/09.. however, the auspicious date calculated was actually 08/09/09 (after 3pm)
No choice.. have to go into the hospital on 08/09/09. Anticipated that it will take abt 2-3 hours for me to deliver the baby.
Doc broke the water bag at 1430hrs... nothing happened till 2000hrs... no choice but to put me on drip to increase the contractions. The real contractions came and epidural was called for... doc advised not to have the epidural since the contractions will most probably last only 30 mins... was then pushed into the labour ward. I insisted on having the epidural (luckily i did, contractions lasted for another 3 hours).
Delan was delivered on
09/09/09 (0008hrs)
weighs 3.685 kgs
Height 52 cm
