My Little Victory Bringer

Praise the Lord! Our much awaited little girl, Bernice Chia has safely arrived on Feb 16 at 9.30am. My water bag broke around 4.00 am that day and within an hour, Chung Bor and myself arrived Columbia Asia Hospital (Puchong). By 5.30 am, I was warded in the Labour Room, being strapped on the belt for the contraction stress test, I was already dilated 3cm. At 7.00 am, I was put on the "oxytocin drip" (supposedly to assist to full dilation) and after 1.5 hours, I began to experience the active labour for about half an hour. And Bernice was delivered the next half an hour.


According to the nurse, they didn't expect my baby to arrive that soon as I was only on the drip for 1.5 hour. Thank God, my gynae's private clinic is just 3 mins away from the hospital. And this time, I managed to deliver Bernice without episiotomy and unlike the previous 3 labours, I do not experience any kind of pain or soreness after the labour. Even till today, I do not need to take any pain killer nor having any constipation difficulties.

Another great testimony was that while I was still waiting for my breast milk to come after the first 4 days, our whole family began to pray about it that night. And amazingly, my milk started to flow in the next day and had an engorgement the whole day. Despite of the pain and discomfort, I praise the Lord for his miracle hands upon me.

Obviously all these are possible due to the constant prayers from my homefellowship members. They never failed to pray for me each time we meet every Friday evening. Truly Bernice is our "Victory Bringer". Her arrival is truly a great testimony as in 1 Kings 8:56 "There has not failed one word of all His good promise".
