Hi Gals
I had delivered on Sun... bb is 2.91 kg, born at 37 wks.. Here is my birth story:
Sat (27/6) - went for my 37wk chk with gynae.. Gynae said my water level is very low, only 4.5cm.. need to be induced.
At 1st, my hb n i thot we can choose date n can wait.. but looking at how anxious my gynae, we realize this is serious n must be induced..
So within 1 hr, the dr put the inducing tablet and ask me to chk into TMC within 2-4hrs to wait for delivery
6pm= chk into TMC.. no sign of contraction
7pm - water bag leak but still feel ok
9pm - feel abit of pain so brought to observation rm... 2cm dilation, but pain bearable
10pm- decide to have eipidural since only abt 3cm.. know that it's going to be long wait..
11pm- insert epidural.. feel relief as no pain at all.. then after that, every 1 hr, 1cm dilation. told that likely to be delivered at 6-7am
By 5am, 9cm dilation but wait for a long time, still not 10cm dilation n bb dun want to move down the birth canel..
wait till 10pm, reach 10cm dilation but bb still very far from birth canal, so nurse asks me to push...
Push for a very long time (according to gynae, i have pushed for 1.5hr).. was totally weak n know that i am going to faint soon.. gynae, nurse n hb told me that i am very near to delivery.. can c bb head etc..
But i dun feel anything.. keep asking how far i am from delivery cos i noe i am going to faint soon cos totally exhausted (keep telling myself that i can faint otherwise will be c-section, so keep tonging)...
In the end, i suspect my hb, gynae and nurses bluff me cos really dun feel bb coming out, so decided to ask gynae for help.. using forceps..
within 1-2 pushes plus dr's use of forcep, bb finally delivered at 12.35pm..
but i was so tired that i din c the whole process of bb coming out or even hb cut the cord.. they put the bb on my chest. but i was so tired that i din have strength to carry him or talk to him.. juz went to zzz..
