It seems not too long ago when I was still in SP48, giving my colleagues a blow by blow account of my sister's first labour experience way back in 2001:
21st Dec, 2.30pm: My sister has just been admitted to the labour ward! Her amniotic fluid's dried up so will have to induce labour...
21st Dec, 6pm: (Has your sister delivered?) No leh...
22nd Dec, 8.30am: (So how? Delivered already?) No... her cervix is barely dilated...
22nd Dec, 1pm: (Is the baby out?) Not yet... cervix only around 3cm...
22nd Dec, 5pm: (Update from brother-in-law) Cervix around 6cm.
22nd Dec, just before 7pm: Matthias is born!!! (Finally!)
