hi girls
i m back!! went to the hospital on 16th feb after posting my last msg. popped on 17th feb. bb is 2.635kg but healthy (which is a great relief!)
birth story:
16/2
12nn: went to hospital and was strapped on CTG to monitor heartbeat
1330: doc came, regular contractions of 5 mins apart, but only 0.5cm dilated (still!!)
1345: decided to induce
1600: tablet inserted 2 hrs ago, contractions became more intense, but managable. so decided to go to the ward to wait
1700: doc came in to say that he will put in second tablet at 0200 cos he does not think i will dilate so quickly
2000: contractions became 1-2 mins apart and bb's heart beat dropped. was sent to delivery ward to monitor immediately
2300: contraction pain became unbearable. but as i was not dilated enuff to break my waterbag, epidural cannot be administered. asked for the injection on the thigh out of desperation.
17/2
0430: waterbag broke by itself. doc told me that after this, cervix will dilate abt 1cm per hr. so asked for epidural immediately.
0515: anesthetist arrived
0530: epidural procedure completed
0600: nurse checked cervix and announced that I M READY TO PUSH!!!
0635: doc arrived
0645: bb arrived
