Dear all mummies, I had juz popped my lil princess on 24 nov 2011. However this is after goin thru bad agony, heavily traumatized induce labor for 14-15hrs and worse is the dilation is slow and I'm e end ve to Ho got e-csect cos bb too stress and resulting her to poo inside which the cord ard her neck.
Personally let me share my exp:
23 nov 11:
8am: happily admin TMC after havin a hearty breakie wiz hb.
In between been havin the half hr interval contraction.
9am: dr came n check n still only at 1cm so he insert e pill for it to dilate. Soon enuf contract interval increase, almost 10-15min interval. But cOntraction damn super painful.
12pm: dr came n check again dilation still at less 2cm but I almost gone due to the contraction pain
As I am super afraid of jab tt y I try to tolerate whilst my hb advise me to take epi seeing hw painful I m..
1.20pm: head nurse came. N check on me and still at 2cm n told us I still ve long way to go y dun I take epi can reduce my pain. No choice cos contraction pain, when dr insert the hand in to check also pai, I decided go for it..
1.45pm: wheel me into observation ward n wanna jab me. Tt us 1 of east traumatizing exp cos hb cannot m in wiz me n I had to managed it myself with the concurrent contraction pain, ve to curl up like a shrimp for e long fucking exp... This whole going almost killed me and I can't even bring myself to continue even wiz e useless laughin gas.. Till they got no choice then they ask my hb cm in n talk to me cos my blood keep bursting out instead flowin in.
Hb keep encouragin me, talk to me, kiss me n he was talking to me wiz his tearin eyes.. He really saw hw painful n distress I am.. Without him I couldn't pull thru this worst diff ordeal..
Appx 2.20pm: done wiz e jab etc, they increase dosage for epi n I feel much better wiz e numbness in my body.. All the way till 6pm
6pm: the start of contraction cm again but this time is anus side. Reason cos bb pushin e way fon to engaged n will pass thru e nerve ard our anus, so even wiz epi, I feel e full contraction over again cod epi do not cover certain sensitive places as per dr n nurse.
all the way till 830pm: dr came n check again, I m still only at 4-5cm but the anus contraction is juz as bad n interval getting closer etc
Pain n pain, shiver n shiver, cried n cried Is juz wat I been thru the whole day
10pm: nurse came make her rd and said I had dilated to abt 7cm. So if I continue I will probably be able dilate till 10cm n five birth within e day.
Suddenly head nurse came again n checked n she got poo inside as bb too stress
She called dr n dr called Hb n said need ecsect cos she will be in danger. Hb agreed. I was in total distress cos I nvr expect go thru like this but can't think so much.
1010pm; wheeled me in n by then thru out the whole process I m totally asleep cos I super duper tire already
15min Later she arrived n even tho she is cute but I no energy c her. By 11pm they wheeled n n send me back to my ward n I slept thru till next day 10am.
To be honest, when I first saw her till juz nw in the afternoon, I wasn't accepting my bb. I feel quite bad as my mum but the trauma is too deep n strong on me, even hb realized it.. Only till late even when I leg her latch on me n we built tt first bondin then I feel her close to me..
What I wanan tell u all is unless u feel u can do it or really can dilate, If not go str for csect wiz half epi. Finished up in No time n no need go thru all trauma. Do natural unless is natural n not induce. Induce can kill u.. Really.. Speaking fm exp n not meant to scare MTb but juz hope u all won't go thru e kinda trauma tt I been thru n worse in e end we need pay natural+csect charges. Not worth ...
