Epidural is from God

Early in the morning on the 12th March 2007, the Man and I checked into KKH for our giant adventure. The Gynae has ordered the birth of our son due to my increasing blood pressure. Okie.. kinda disappointed cos I would really prefer if God were to order that… heh. But God works in wonderous ways right? =D

After nights of sleepless fear, I was surprisingly calm in the delivery suite. The Man and I were just waiting and waiting, checking on my blood pressure every so often. I was rather confident of my threshold for pain. Believing strongly that I can overcome contraction pains. For did God not make us that way? But alas, my years of taking primrose oil to counter menstrual pains finally took effect. I can no longer tolerate cramps. Ouch! 3 hours of contractions and I am almost ready to push out my baby. But no! The nurses were less optimistic. It’ll be another few hours at least. Ha! You must be kidding. How can this pain go on further? EPIDURAL! Who cares about side effects and aching backs! I don’t. Not anymore!

Minutes passed like years while waiting for the anaesthetist to arrive. But when she did, I was ready to declare her a Messenger from God! Heh… The relief was immediate. And I couldn’t thank her enough. Though I was in too much pain before that to catch a look at her. She must have looked like an angel, with a halo above her head. And if I’m not mistaken, I think I saw something flutter beneath her doctor’s robes…
