Part II -

The Pain

 

I almost forgot how excruciating painful the incision area was until I felt it all over again this time after the anesthetics wore off. L

It was quite
unbearable.

 

Second day after operation, I had to start moving, well at least walking to the toilet. Boy oh boy! With feelings as if my body has been cut half, I walked very, very slow, making tiny steps at a time, inch by inch I think. When Xue Rou (XR), my elder daughter saw me after I came home, I told her about how I became an old lady with a hunchback. She likes to pretend she is an old lady, hunch back and walked with a cane. So when she saw me, she laughed and I laughed too (ooh…painful man!!. I mustn’t laugh, cough or sneeze for all that matters…It’s killing me).

 

So, who says having C-sect is easy!! Those ladies who can breezed through C-sect without much pain MUST be damn lucky…but only a handful…Sad to say, I’m not one of those lucky ladies…L

 

Come to think of it, my friend was just commenting that I am one of the bravest mother she had ever met. I was like…huh?? Didn’t understand why she said so…Asked her about it. The answer was I opt for C-sect, an operation to have my baby….I chose to be dissected, “Cut”, “potong”….and having any abdominal operation required fearless guts coz it’s

extremely painful thereafter.

 

Suddenly, I went stunned. Omigosh!! I am going to be cut again. Holy cow!! What was I thinking?? It only hit me there and then what I will be going through later on…..Hahahha…

so silly of me!!

 

Another tough part was to breastfeed baby. Whether I do it straight up, sitting with a pillow propped up at my back or in sleeping sideways position…..ooh pain like crazy…But of course, I told myself to persevere no matter what. Breast milk is the best food for the baby at the moment and it’s God given. Guess this positive thought overrides the pain and made me continue on with my breastfeeding.

 

I’m actually quite disappointed I don’t get to go through normal delivery. I did go through labour pain during the first delivery but that’s all, no pushing. Sometimes, I do wonder how it is giving birth in the normal way. Not that I am so eager to go through all the pain again…hahaha…J

So, if anyone who can have normal delivery, be very, very thankful.

 

Having said that, I am VERY Thankful that I have a safe delivery and a healthy baby.

Thank you to all for your well-wishes. I truly appreciate your good thoughts and kind words.

 

God Bless!!
