hi all
I am back, day 4 after baby hatched and day 2 at home.
My Tuesday 20 hr labor goes like that:
At week 39, low amniotic level so dr did membrane sweep for me, Dilate 1 cm immediately and next morning at Mount A, I was at 3 cm. Delighted and hope it be a quick birth with induction through pessary. But contraction was slow, irregular and only managed to go to 5cm mid noon .
To make things worse, baby is in posterior position (sunny-side up), so my labour pain is really long dull nagging back pain. Belly pain is barely felt compared to my back pain. So unbearable and I asked for epidural then.
After 15 hrs, I ran fever and dr has to inserted two “panadol” pessaries to my butt. At 8 cm, IV drugs in used to speed up my dilation further. During pushing stage, I almost did not make it and dr could have used forceps to assist. I pushed with all my might and ended up using vacuum. Baby is only 2.77kg, and dr said I have narrow pelvis (but I have child-bearing hips!). Any bigger the baby and I will likely end up with c section!
Luckily my recovery is pretty good. It’s day 4, and my episiotomy cut is pretty much not “felt”.
Now at hme day 2 with baby, already abit post-natal blues. I am on total BF since day 1 and my nipples are sore and I am at the beck and call of baby. Further more, there is one side latching difficulty due to my short nipple. Decided to opt for pumping, since I have to do one side, may as well do both side. Hope pumping will save me some sanity, suckling pain and little more ‘freedom’.
Baby has been little cranky and crying non-stop really makes me wanna cry at the same time. Being first time mummy, I am happy to read all the stories shared by mummies here. At least I know I am not alone....
