Another Journey of Mine

It's actually giving me a scare.... count down is almost there.... 9 more days to go and I will be giving birt to a baby boy. Ultrasound says it's a boy! Thanks God! Another ordeal that I have yet to go through. I've never written about my first delivery... with Little Tyke, somehow because till this moment it still gives me the fright.

My pregnancy with Anais was like going through the hole of the needle.... no exaggeration... it really was. On my 3rd month of pregnancy, I had to go through an operation at Cardinal Santos, after which the ailment had became recurring which prompted me to resign from my former company. Not to mention the emotional, mental and physical turmoil that I had gone through and are known only to few of my closest friends. The high light was during the delivery itself.

We were just out to get another opinion, only to find out that I was already 1 cm dilated in PLACENTA PREVIA TOTALIS, thus the emergency CS. On my way to the operating room, I passed out due to minor heart attack... The doctors along with the nurses surrounded us in the OR as Anais has to be taken out with in 3 minutes, other wise, we will both be dead.And since it's emergency, they did not wait for the anaesthesia to fully take its effect on me.... gee... you would't believe the pain that I felt when they open my abdomen... no time to waste and gee of all the time that I will regain conciousness is when the OB is giving directions.... Jesus Christ, at that moment I wish I hadn't have any knowledge about medical terms.... With the expertise of the team, Anais was taken out in less than 3 minutes... 97 seconds to be exact.... After her cry, wrong her giggles rather, I drifted to unconciousness....

Now I'm just more than a week away, I just hope that this time it's going to be a lot easier.... no emergencies, nothing like that... pray for me....
