Hey hey mummies! Im back!
Finally I have given birth to my baby girl Maryse on Monday 10-12-12 @ 7.07am!
Me and hubby feel very happy, touched and relieved to see our little precious has finally come to this world after the much long awaited 41 weeks and 1day ^^
I have quite a long birth story.. but one thing i must highlight here, EPIDURAL is the BEST INVENTION man! I didnt hesitate to ask for it despite i only experienced mild cramps when i had 3cm dilation because u will never know how long the whole dilation process will gonna take. My anesthetist given me the right dose of epi and through out my 13 hours of waiting (for full dilation) I had the chance to reserve my energy for my final pushing.. Me n hubby actually sleep through out the waiting period (in between doc got wake me up to check for cervix dilation) and it was pretty a relaxing experience without worrying of the pain. The epi works so well!
Of coz when the full dilation reached, they reduced my epi's dosage so that I can feel the contractions and to be able to push using the correct muscles. Yes at this point pain can be felt but deifinitely much lesser than without epi! It took 1.5hours for me to push and it was pretty exhausting (cant imagine if i didnt take epi) and gynae almost wanna try to suck baby out using vacumn.. I was like oh no i dun want my baby to have long neck, so I used all my energy and push... Baby's head was so close but still couldnt pop out and suddenly i hear a cut and there with a final push my baby is finally out. Thank goodness! And i get to have skin to skin contact with my gal right after her birth.. The feeling of carrying a wet, bloody warm little new life is so special! Me and hubby were so touched.. Especially for this little long awaited overdue baby Maryse. Gynae, midwife and hubby were pretty surprised that Im still look energetic after giving birth, I guess epi works good for me. Do not hesitate if you are afraid of pain.. Haha.. but Im really salute mums like Lovepixie who are able to give birth without epi! I cant make it without epi..
Anyway Im still in KKH now.. Should be discharging on wed. Yay!
