And she was named, Safia Ayanna...




Welcome Safia Ayanna "YANI" C. Alhambra!

Born: April 7, 2010 via CS
Time: 3:58 PM
Height: 50 cm
Weight: 7 lbs. 10oz. (biggie =p)

This is long over due but I felt the need to repost it here because a lot of friends didn't know how Yani came.

Our little princess made her debut with a bang! April 6, I was admitted around 1:30 am and spent 36 hours inside the labor room. With moderate to strong contractions every 5 mins interval.

April 7, around 12 noon - Failed Induction! (tinulugan ko lang ang labor pains hehe =p)
we decided to do a CS operation since yani was already in transverse lie position (oblique) from the original cephalic position as per last ultrasound. Tsk tsk...

@ 3PM, I was brought to DR and after the prep procedures the operation started at around 3:45 PM and the baby was out by 3:58 PM.

@ 4:40 PM, I was brought to RR and stayed for another 7 loooOOng hours! my BP was unstable had elevated BP from 130/90 to 160/100. They had to insert another IV on my right hand (so talagang dapat left and right ang swero!) gave me meds to control my BP.

Finally, I was brought to my room @ 1AM and was closely monitored for the next 48 hrs. No food/water intake for 3 days and got bruised arms from countless BP readings which stressed me out!

This experience was totally different and it was my first major operation...first time to experience a catheter... However, It was worth the wait!
