18oct 4.00pm
went into gynae's clinic to have ctg scan and pelvic check. was told tt pelvic is very soft now.. so easy dilation. gynae then inserted one pill and sent me home. went back home but couldn't sleep in the end coz of the anticipation.. haha..

19oct 2am
gynae came and check if my cervix is dilated or not.. was about 1cm dilated le.. then he went on to burst my water bag and put me onto the drip to hasten the dilation! god.. tt was painful..and ask if i wanna have epi or not? i said no.. but will opt for it if its too painful.. he then gave me a smile and said.. okie.. be careful.. its gonna hurt..

couldn't take it anymore.. contractions came in straight after 2am.. and in the intervals of 1-2mins each! asked for epi.. was in so much pain till i couldn't make any sound! haha.. then 15 mins later.. my epi came! and of course it felt good! hahahah.. wat a relief.. was then about 4-5cm dilated.
19oct 6am
could feel the baby's head going down onto the groin area.. and its painful even with epi..( i think.. they didn't give me such a strong dosage.. maybe scared tt i couldn't push!) and staff nurse came in to check and told me tt am only about 6cm dilated.. hiak hiak..

my dear.. gynae came to check me.. and told me tt am about 7-8cm dilated! which also meant tt am only 2cm away.. (stupid nurse was told by my gynae tt am definitely going for natural since dilation is so fast) i was told by her tt i gotta wait till 11am before cervix dilation is completed.. imagine the torture..

my dear dear gynae came again.. and was told by him tt am ready! oh my god.. its only then the fear sets in and i suffered from anxiety attacks! my gynae and hb calmed me down.. and told me tt its gonna be over soon... and they were right.. they prepared everything.. and baby was out within 4pushes! i could feel the pushing.. thanks to the anaethetist! he gave me sufficient epi to cover the contractions.. only.. not as in like.. my whole body was numb..
side effects of epi for me..: erm.. only shivering.. no.. vomitting or whatsoever after tt...
was able to get out of the bed within 3 hours after delivery.. and was scolded by the nurse..(suppose to stay in bed for 6 hours at least due to epi). hiak hiak. too active i guess..
had a wonderful stay in glen e.. though..
