Hi Ladies.
Still in hospital but feeling much better so decided to log in to check on who had pop. Hehe!!
Congrats to those mummies who had popped.
Frankly,I dunno how you mummies actually remember the timing of each event. I am real bad at remembering the timing but I try my best as I write my birth story here. Hehe!!
At abt 4.15pm, I checked in to the delivery suite @ MAH. Then change into the delivery gown, given the enema (dunno how to spell) to poop. After that, waterbag broken then put on drip to induce contraction. When I checked in, still 3cm dialted.
After an hour, I cannot take the contraction pain anymore and requested for epidural. After 30mins, the doctor came and gave me the epidural. I was in so much pain that I dun really feel anything when he did the process. After a while, although the pain is gone but I still know when I am having a contraction.
At about 7pm, the nurse checked my cervix and it is about 4cm dilated. BB heartbeat strong, contraction is good. But the pain getting stronger for me again... so the nurse increase the dosage... even though the pain is soothe but i still can feel the urge to push like that and it was really uncomfortable. Hubby keep asking me not to push.
At about 8plus, the nurse checked again and cervix is dilated to 6cm but BB head still high. Nurse increase my epidural dosage to the max and still it is not helping me much cos I was still feeling very incomfortable down there and soon I was moaning away. Nurse told me she cannot increase the dosage anymore and by this time I am already using my 2nd tube of epidural.
At about 10plus, the nurse came in to check again but still 6cm dilated and BB head still high. She tried to help me out by twisting her hand to open up the cervix further and ask me to try pushing abit to see if BB head will come down. But doesn't seem to be working much.
At 11plus, I am still not opening up and remain 6cm and I was really tired out liao. My gynae called the nurse to check and ask to speak to my hubby. I already know what he will be suggesting to hubby. When hubby came back, he told me gynae suspect BB's head is big and can't come down so cervix is not opening. Suggested emergency C-sec cos he scared if I delay any further, BB might be in distress. I agreed immediately. I was also very surprised that I was not afraid at all of being cut up. I was just too tired.
At 12.15am, I was pushed into the OT. My epidural dosage increase in prep for C-sec. Hubby came in awhile later to be with me. When they cut me up, I smelled burning smell. I asked hubby if they are burning me up. Haha!! Then suddenly I got 2 pairs of hands pushing my stomach and another pair tugging below. It was so uncomfortable like my tummy is bursting. I keep hearing Dr Fong say " the shoulder, the shoulder" Then at 12.44am, BB is out. But I didn't hear him cry, was so worried and keep asking hubby. Hubby say they cleaning his mucus.. then suddenly.. a big cry came. I was so relieve. Surprisingly, I didn't cry when Kayden was born. I thought I would cry big time but I guess I was too tired le.
Hubby followed BB to the nursery to take measurement while the gynae stitched me up. When I was out of OT, I was shivering like hell and I vomitted. Luckily I didn't eat anything since lunch so all I vomitted was water.
I couldn't even breastfeed Kayden that very night and told the nurses to give him FM first.
So that's my birth story. Hehe!!
