hi mummies!
I am back to chat. gave birth to my bb boy on 30 June, exactly on my EDD. here's a v simple a/c of bb 's birth:
29 June 730 pm contraction starts at 10 min intervals. me cleaning up house and continue to finish cleaning everything as planned. pain bearable.
after mid night, pain getting more intense and 5 to 7 mins apart, still bearable b ut scared later contraction too close to walk downstairs to take cab so wake hubby ard 3 plus to go hospital. actually gynae ordered induction on 1 july if bb no signs of wanting to come out... so now everything is just in time via the natural way..
reached KKH ard 3 plus, true enuf when pain come, had to stop, can't walk... admitted to triage to be monitored. transferrd to delivery suite after half an hour.
strapped to the bed and when gynae arrived ard 5 plus, was 3cm dilated. after VE was done, waters broken*ouch* and put on drip and antibiotics and oxytocin administered to quicken contraction... epidural injected too.
waited and waited on the bed... hubby snoring beside on the couch...dilation progressing from 5cm to finally 8cm... bb's heartbeat suddenly dropped to a dangerously low level, hubby informed the nurses... almost had emergency c section as thr nursewere shaving me and helping me put on gas mask while resuscitating bb... gynae came and reassured me bb's heartbeat is back to normal but they are stopping the oxytocin for 1 hr as the rapid contraction of my uterus is causing stress to my bb... i was in shock thru out the emergency and in tears after bb is resuscitated... thank God bb is safe.
oxtocin resumed after 1 hr, ard 3pm fully dilated, and after some v hard pushes(no pain tho as i had asked for 2nd jab of epidural) and with hubby's help (the mid wife walk in walk out never really helped me with the pushing
bb's head emerged and gynae called in to deliver bb. whole labour last less than 12 hours.
the after pains is quite uncomfortable tho... but seeing bb healthy and cutie, everything is worth it. bb is 3.058kg at birth.
okipoki,
hey glad u still remember me... my epi wounds still hurt after 11 days, tummy big big like 5 months preggy, not successful in latching on.. got short nipple, the other inverted... and din manage to help bb get used to my nipple cos in pain... so have to rely on my medela PIS to partially feed bb EBM. i use Friso as bb's FM. bb now can drink up to 90 ml at 11 days!
