On Jan 2005, one night in our CG, Steven who is my cell-group leader started to look serious while worshipping our ALMIGHTY GOD; he suddenly looked at me and said, GOD will give us a baby this year as HE had heard my prayer.
I immediately broke down in tears when I heard it as my heart filled with abundant of joy and gladness due to HIS faithfulness. I keep on proclaiming this promise until 30 May 2005 where my gynea told me that I have pregnant for 3weeks. You know what… I jump like a 3 years old kid and keep on praising and thanking HIM for the most wonderful gift in this world.
But on the 4th week onwards, I started to have extreme nausea, which I will throw out at least min. 12 times a day; I couldn’t even count what was the maximum… A single mouthful of water will also cause me throwing out non-stop, which I have to sleep in my toilet instead of my bed due to the urgency.
I couldn’t eat and drink, thus my old problem – gastric started to surface and it get worsen during my pregnancy due to no food intake. I lost at least 5kg of weight less than 2week and struggled with tremendous pain due to excess vomiting. I have no choice but admitted to the hospital for dripping to protect the baby from dehydration.
I prayed and prayed everyday for the grace of GOD!
Because of my gastric problem, I couldn’t walk or sit but only lying down on the bed like a cooked prawn due to the twisting pain. Almost every day I cried out to GOD for strength and healing power. However, I failed to understand GOD’s intention of why I need to go through such a difficult pregnancy at that point of time. I keep on crying and complaining to GOD why don’t HE heals me instead of having me going through such pain. My gastric pain went severe until none of the gastric pill works well in me.
My extreme nausea did not stop at 12 weeks but continue for the rest of the months till the baby is born. However, I truly thank GOD for a healthy baby. When sam is born, he is born at 3.1kg with 52cm height. He indeed is a healthy and strong baby despites of all the past conditions.
By the grace of God, it took me only 2 hours to deliver him! We know his gracious hand is upon us always without fail. Even with all the difficulties that HE had put in place, we understand the with purposes behind it. Man will never learn unless they fall. Due to this baby is a gift from GOD which I have asked for, I was told to name him: Samuel – the hand of God!
He has brought us abundant of joy and patience in my family, and most importantly I have learned a lot of lesson from this pregnancy.
I know I may have failed HIS test but HE has taught me to be strong in spirit and mind. I have also learned to depend on HIM for every situation and decision. HE indeed is a good GOD because I gain more than just having a healthy baby.
Advice to pick-up: Endurance, patience, love, and remain faithful in HIM all the times despite of any circumstances. As HE never fails.
Abigail – the source of joy… December 13, 2007

Early in the morning at 4-6am+ on 17 Oct 2007, I felt abdominal pain on my tummy… so I went to toilet as what you and I will normally do… but after awhile the pain roll-up again even after the toilet. This time round I know she is arriving soon after 38weeks of waiting and endurance.
Guess what, I quickly ran to the toilet to take a quick shower, wash my hair and blew my hair, con-currently I got my helper to ring my hubby up to inform him about this good news.
You may wonder how about the pain… is it gone?
The pain did not stop there of course. It continues with an interval of 3-5 min each time. When the pain getting more intense each time, I took a deep big breathe and relax. After which I continue with what I want to do to distract myself from the pain. BUT I forgot to take my breakfast! This is important in case you do not know if you are delivering in the morning.
It gives you strength and you will not be vomiting due to medication.
At about 7am+ almost 8am, I reached hospital and the nurse quickly pushes me in to the delivery ward. When the nurse checks on me, she said I have dilated 8cm which can be delivered anytime NOW! I remembered it was about 8:15am and the baby can be out before 8:45am.
She hurriedly phoned the doctor up and the doctor in fact just woke up. But she claimed that she will be able to arrive before 8:45am. I wonder how?
As my contraction getting more intense, I can feel my back and stomach are so tight like MC 100 times more..BUT the worst part was my back ache… Oh my Lord, I can’t take this pain as it was really bad! I can bear the contraction pain but not this one!!!!!
In fact, I have no strength to push it out as the pain is way beyond words can describe. In fact I struggled a lot with my back ache even during my pregnancy due to my nature of work.
Baby is supposed to be out by 8:45am but did not come out as her mummy is lying down on the bed relaxingly enduring the pain. Deep inside my heart, I cried out to GOD and asked GOD for strength and help! I told Jesus, please help me.. I can’t imagine the pain he had gone through at the Calvary 2000 years ago. My pain is just nothing as compare to his. His pain brings life, hope and freedom to mankind. It is so meaningful and glorious! While mine….
Believe or not, at 9am+, GOD send me an angel, she (one of the nurse) motivates me, asking me …
“Do you want to change your sitting position? As it may be better to ease your pain while you are delivering…”
Of course I listened and changed my sitting position. Cox I can’t be letting my baby waiting for too long as she supposed to be out by 8:45am.
Thank You GOD! After changing the sitting position, the pain has been reduced and it was so easy to push her out. Within 5 minutes, she is shown! I remembered the time was about 9:13am.
In fact, I never believe that delivery can be so easy if you got the right position, right strength and strong determination, of course most importantly GOD in your heart!
I give all glory and praises to GOD!
She is my 2nd one! She shall be called Abigail! The source of joy…
Advice to pick-up: SIMPLY JUST RELAX and TRUST on HIM!
