In the afternoon of 17th July 2008, felt a thump from lil. Mckayla, like a little knock which comes with a feeling that I have never felt before during my whole pregnancy. It was as if saying that to me that she was about to arrive.

True enough, 1st contractions started at 5++pm. I woke up feeling my muscles in the womb tightening.

The interval of the contractions started 45mins apart.

Until about 12pm midnight, the contractions were more consistent being 10-15 minutes apart.

Upon listening to my gynae's instruction which is to admit hospital if I feel 10mins interval.

So I decided to wash up and do some last minute packing before heading to hospital.

Arrived hospital at about 2am, contractions 5-10mins apart. Nurses don't believe that I'm going through labour as I looked perfectly relaxed and calm.

Clear bowels, apply antiseptic. Gynae came and break my water bag. Already dilated to 2cm.

Pushed into labour ward at 3++am. Where the contractions became more & more intense.

Somehow around this time.. I felt the contractions painful and the nurses recommended that I should use epidural. But I refused mainly because I don't want the epidural to affect my body or breastfeeding later.

So she recommended the gas mask for some pain relief.

My hubby, Isaac helped me to put on the gas mask and off when I experience the contractions.

The gas mask was pretty useful in the sense that it calm myself and I felt more comfortable. However, it made me quite drowsy and felt like going into deep sleep.

When I felt the urge to push, which now I believe is that baby is crowning, called in the nurses and the doctor.

I think I was 4cm dilated then. But I am not suppose to push yet until I have very much dilated.

By this time, I heard the evil one speaking to me, 'Where is your God?' I knew he was speaking to my belief on God for a supernatural painless delivery. Because I was feeling so uncomfortable and in pain.

But I rebuked him and said, 'Even if I am to use the epidural, I still trust in God.'

After this, I have dilated to about 8+cm, whereby the doctor also started to ask me to push.

Time was about 5+am. I was pretty worn out and I also felt like giving up because it was really tiring and pain-staking.

Before baby's head was out, I did a final push, doctor did a episiotomy and next moment, baby Mckayla arrived!

She was crying out a healthy loud shout. I presume that she is exclaiming, 'Hi Daddy & Mummy!' For the very 1st time! Haha!

Also the 1st thing that the doctor said was that Mckayla was a pretty big baby and also I had done a good job!

I was so relieved and yet in my heart I am so thankful to all the medical team, my husband (for being with me), my mother (for giving birth to me) and the most special person I want to thank is Jesus!

I could not have done this through Him. As I really felt like dying then.. ALL GLORY to GOD!!!

Reflecting now I am really not sure how I made it through.

I call this supernatural natural delivery!!
