Urghhhh typed a long story n then all gone cos my thumb accidentally pressed on a link..
Thanks all for e well wishes
anw here's my birth story..
In my earlier post I said I had a bloody show on sat 9am, went to see gynae at 11 n was told 1cm dilated.. But since no pain go home wait n see. REAL contraction pain starts at 7pm... (I say REAL cos contractions r painful!!!!) but it was like 30 mins interval the 11pm it was 15mins 1am 10 mins n by 2am it was 5 mins.. Initially I wanted to wait awhile cos the pain was still bearable...but then I was worried that if it gets to painful I might hv difficulties walking... So by 230am hubby n I left the Hse.
Upon reaching TMC I was e 1st patient... Nurses kept askin me to to epi but I din want cos I wanted to give it a try... Was on CTG machine n nurses said my contractions were very sharp although I was only. 1.5cm dilated.... By 330am more patients came in, all wanted epi.. N hubby n e nurses asked if I really don't want epi.. NO I said. Cos the pain was bearable.. 530am gynae came over to chk on me cos she had another patient on emergency c sect... Said since I m not takin epi the take a jab on e thigh. So I agree... Felt drowsy after that but cos still feel the contractions... Was 3cm dilated n doc burst my water bag. Was put of drip to induce baby. 630 pain was more tense although I cld still bear it (using mrs Wong deep breathing technique) then hubby warn if i really can't stand better take epi close doesn't want me to suffer. Nurse came in,I was 5cm dilated... Told me now just the start of e pain... It willb triple....
Was still asking hubby to playscissorpaperstone with me cos I really dunno if i shld tk e jab. I know now can tahan... But 3X e pain.... I m not sure....plus I was shaking uncontrollably (not becos i was cold... I also dunno y) so was worried if I decides to take e jab n I shake more will b too dangerous....
So finally at 645 took e jab. It was not painful.. Seriously it only took less than 2mins? Was super drowsy after tat... Legs bait numb but I cld still the contractions.. Slept awhile 930 was 8-9 cm dilated. 1050am was 10cm dilated n e pushing starts... N that was e most tiring part... At one moment I nearly wanted to laugh cos hubby was also "pushin" with me n making e shitting constipated sound... Also vomited in e midst of pushing... Anw.. 1156 baby finally came out!!! Poooof...... By e time baby was out I was already breathless.. Gynae was sewing n stitching... Which I tot had I bear e pain of e contractions... I may not get thru e pain of e stitching... Cos even with e numbness I felt each n every stitch n pull..... So u gals might wanna consider this...
Baby is doing gd n well.. Suckling well but no milk.. Been feeling drowsy but having got chance to rest well with visitors n nurses comin in every hour for blood pressure chk n breast feeding... So tired... No appetite also.. Puke out my lunch n tea... But dinner was a bit better... Hmm e food not very nice Le... But one thing for sure I think e service in TMC is awesome... Nurses r all very nice helpful n friendly
Oh btw pls dun listen to those old wives tale wat drink chicken essence before delivering.. I did just that cos my mum kept saying must drink to boast energy... End up nurse say it not gd cos increase e baby's heartbeat....
Ok very tired....
