My Precious Darius

2 min read
 
 
Damien and Darius

Each pregnancy is different and each comes with it’s own unique story.

This week, theAsianparent.com talks to stay-at-home mum, Eileen Too, age 36, about the delivery of her second son, Darius Ho Yan Heng.

TheAsianparent.com (TAP) : Was your pregnancy planned? And how old were you?

Eileen Too : Yes! I was 34.

TAP : What were your reactions?

Eileen Too : I cried (again!)

TAP : How did you know that you were pregnant?

Eileen Too : My taste buds changed.

TAP : Who did you first tell?

Eileen Too : Hubby!

TAP : Did you have morning sickness?

Eileen Too : Similar to my first pregnancy; I vomited throughout.

TAP : What did you crave?

Eileen Too : I did not have much of an appetite, but towards the end of the pregnancy, I craved for ice-creams and chocolates!

TAP : What irritated you the most?

Eileen Too : My slow weight gain and the lack of appetite.

TAP : How much weight did you gain in total?

Eileen Too : 6kg

TAP : Did you have any complications during your pregnancy?

Eileen Too : Low placenta and I had very itchy rashes on my tummy.

TAP : Where did you give birth?

Eileen Too : Mount Alvernia Hospital

TAP : How many hours were you in labour?

Eileen Too : It was just like my first born, Damien’s. Two hours after I was admitted, the baby’s heartbeat dropped. An emergency c-section had to be performed but this time round, I had an epidural, so I was awake when the gynae begin the operation. It still gives me the creeps when think about it.

TAP : Who watched you give birth?
