celine: this is your story
Dear Celine, This is the story of how you came into our lives and complete our little family. You were born on 22 March 2023; it was Wednesday, just seven minutes past midnight, at KKH. You were almost into your 39th week when suddenly on Tuesday around 9 PM, I felt a slightly painful contraction. I thought I could wait until morning to go to the hospital but the contractions got progressively more painful and frequent, we decided to rush to the hospital. I texted my OB, Dr Lee Jiah Min, to let her know that we were on the way to KKH. That was the first time I felt such painful contractions as when I was pregnant with your sister, I was happily laying down on the bed with epidural. We reached the hospital about 10.30 PM and your father wheeled me on a wheelchair because I couldn’t walk anymore; the pain was excruciating. When a nurse came to check my cervix, she said it was dilated about 4 cm so I could be admitted to the delivery suite. In my head, with such pain, it couldn’t possibly
