Hi all mum
FINALLY I have given birth.. on 2nd Feb to Kaelyn...she is a big baby 3755gms... and I have hard time delivering her really but Thank God, I manage to pull thru naturally with EPI and assisted.
Anyway just want to keep the birth story short:
1st Feb- gynae appt at 3pm and gynae suggest induces since over due 3 days liao. Agreed and gynae insert a tablet to start induce
530pm - admit hospital and the pain from the inserted tablet start quickly.
Remember I was complaing abt the cramp I had since
26th Jan... those were actually contraction, imagine I have those pain for 1 week..
8pm - the pain was pretty intense or maybe I had low pain threshold... was using laughing gas already...
10pm- gynae came to check me... I'm already high with laughing gas so he said if cannot tahan then EPI...and I agreed
11pm plus...- EPI administarted
5am - after several checks, midwive told me process not bad fully dilated should be able to deliver in the morning... so wait for gynae
10am - wait and wait and wait... gynae came in only 10am... and my water bag still not burst! gynae break water bag and told me.. from expereince dilation will be decrease and true enough dilation back to 6cm...FAINT!!!....
12pm - gynae called to check if I fully dilated, but midwife say still got a bit more... if never dilate totally got to go to for C-section.
1230pm - I was devastated... after such a long time then tell me c-section??!!! broke down and prayed hard to God
1pm - Gynae called to ask me to try pushing for 1 hr...
1-145pm- is the most tiring period... oh my God...I'm so tired the whole nite that I'm too weak to push really hard... plus bb is big, progress is realy slow.
145pm - gynae came and said since cannot push out on my own then got to "help" me... vacuum baby out...
205pm - baby kaelyn is finally out... oh my oh my... and I was soooo relief and at the same time feeling so amazing...was also thinking... I'm not going to do it again...hehehehe...
RE :Breastfeeding
I have been on total BF since Kaelyn arrive.. and now my nipple is super duper sore...esp the 1st few instance she start sucking..
Is it normal? I read that after a few days if bb suckle ok the pain will go away...
What can I do to make it easier on me? I'm applying my BM and nursing cream after every feed to sooth the pain.
I think all of you have gone thru what I hvae... very expereince to advise me liao...
I wanted to pump out but so afriad will affect the milk production since my milk not establish yet...
