13/12/06
3.16am- woke up to pee... feel like pooing too.. so tried pooing.. but nothing came out.. went back to sleep.. 10min later, woke up with pain again.. ignore n went back to sleep.. 5min, pain again.. abit unsure.. woke hubby up.. hubby asked me to monitor..
3 to 4am- lower abdominal pain comes once every 4-7min.. each lasting 1min.. was still wondering if this is it..
called NUH delivery suite.. they asked me to try sleep thru the pain.. if can sleep thru, means it's false labour... win liao lor... i already tried sleeping thru my pain for the past hour..
was told to call them again at 7am if pain persist...
4 to 5am- quickly go shower and on comp..
got to handover my work to my boss..
wrote long email to explain my cells' patterns..
contraction pain still coming at 4-7min interval.. so got to rest during contraction while typing my long massage to boss..
luckily still rem to email qianhui the updating list..
5 to 7am- tried "sleeping" away my pain... but pain coming more n more intense... still at interval of 4-7min...
7am- finally "tong" till 7am.. quickly called NUH again.. they finally advise me to go to NUH emergency..
8am- did final packing of stuffs n set off to NUH.. on the way there, contraction pain comes once every 3min.. n stupid aye got jam... win liao lor...
8.30am- reach NUH n wheeled to delivery ward.. gynae on duty did a check for me n announced tt i'm 4-5cm dilated... everyone in the suite was reall amazed... i thot i heard wrongly n asked again..
really happy tt i halfway thru dilation.. heheheee~
9.00am- prof mary rauff arrived.. did another cervical check for me.. still 4-5cm dilated.. sian..
she burst my waterbag for me.. was expecting water gushing out like waterfall.. but dun hav leh.. abit disappointed..
9 plus- aft waterbag burst, pain doubled although the reading on the CTG is still the same.. wah.. very pain.. but still able to manage without any drug... relied on my breathing exercise... hubby breathing together with me..
10am - told nurse tt the pain very bad.. midwife did another cervical check.. told me already 6cm dilation.. i was like "huh, so slow"..
check my contraction interval n find it not close enough.. prof mary rauff ordered drip to increase contraction.. wah.. aft the drip started, the pain increase to infinity even though reading on CTG is onli 50.. i thot i'm dying... told midwife n she gave me laughing gas...
10.30 to 11am- was begging for epidural aft being high on laughing gas.. was shouting in pain.. banging my hand against the bed during contraction.. hate the gas coz makes me really high n seems to be unable to ease any pain at all..
hubby was telling me tt dun go for epi... midwife din even offer me to go epi.. onli suggested thigh jab.. but i dun want..
11am- suddenly wanted to push... midwife checked n i'm already 8cm dilated.. was told to try pushing to push bb down.. can feel midwife's hand inside me... no idea wat she's doing.. but i juz push... miraculously, dun feel as pain while pushing.. but hubby told me tt CTG reading is already 100!!
11 to 11.15am- midwife announced 9cm dilation.. still told to push.. hubby said can see bb's hair... wondering where my gynae is.. dun want to deliver without her.. but i already can't control my pushing.. auto push when there's contraction..
11.15am- heard announcement tt my gynae is here...
was pushing away while she quickly wear her gown.. basically no time to lose.. she quickly gave me a jab me cut me up..
wow.. really painful.. can feel her pressing n pressing the vaginal area.. like tearing pain lidat.. still continue to push..
11.20am- bb's head out.. another push n bb's body out too... wow.. instant pain relieve... so happy... think i more happy tt the pain gone than bb has arrived.. hahaha..
bb's cord is clamped n placed on me.. gynae delivered placenta n collected cord blood for donation.. bb grabbed my finger.. so cute.. heee~
12pm- sms-ing away to inform frens of the news while resting in the delivery suite waiting for transfer to ward.. heee~
okie lah.. got to stop first.. time for milking..
