Your birth day - August 15

It was just an ordinary Saturday. Mommy had terrible high blood pressure on Friday night. Tummy was quite tight. No idea what happened with you, baby. Did you give sign to mommy that you wanted to come earlier.

Mommy just took it easy. And that morning mommy as usual wrote status on FB, “wanna make rempeyek, peanut crackers even thought of cooking Indonesian beef curry”. Then nurse Wanda came to give NST and check BP. NST was good, you kicked a lot as usual. But BP numbers even were always high, constantly.

Nurse Wanda was not happy. Later on after she talked to doctors at PLC unit asked mommy to go to the unit to see Doctors to get prescription for BP. She even ensured that I won’t have earlier delivery.

Then after lunch daddy took mommy to hospital for assessment. Again another NST and they found >100 diastolic number. It was continuously high. Dr. Wagner who was on duty also check your position with USG station at the hospital, yes you are still breeching baby. They made blood work too, which is OK.

Dr. Wagner talked with mommy, she thought it’s time to deliver you as BP concerns. She suggested to deliver you with C-section. Though, it is also possible to reposition you to head down and then try to induce you for normal delivery. But negative side, it will take time and make you distressed with high BP and tired as she said normally premature baby will not be able to do labor. Mommy just can’t imagine how busy and tired you are inside when mommy trying to push you. It’s gonna be another torturing for you. No mommy won’t let you be that, you have been exhausted with my BP.

So mommy accept the decision. When mommy listened to Dr. Wagner’s explanation, it was so sensible, easy to understand. So mommy decided just to let you free.

Then 7.30pm, everything was ready for the surgery. Daddy came at 7pm. Your brother was OK at home. Things happened so fast in that room. Quickly after injected with epidural anesthetic, half part of mommy’s body become numb.

At 8pm, you were out of mommy ‘s tummy. Mommy saw your face, cute, hairy with red lips and huge nose like daddy’s.

Surgery took only 40 minutes. It was so fast.

Around 10pm mommy drop by to your unit 35BNICU. You were taken under heater but no hose for breathing. Just IV to stabilize your sugar blood level. Mommy was surprised with your progress.. You are doing really good at the beginning.
