hello all mummies!
me discharged from kkh yesterday,bb gal arrived safely on 6 jul 2354 hrs, weighing 2.6 kg at 37 weeks
i think being a first time mother, d whole labour is always an unforgetable event...
on 5 jul afternoon, went for my normal check up n gynae decided i should be induced d next morning cos my amniotic fluid was below normal level n im actually having slight contractions already
6 jul 2am - admitted myself at kkh delivery suite, CTG detected contractions so doc on duty decided to monitor cos my contractions may get stronger then i dun need to be induced
11am - no progress so gynae break waterbag n was put on drip for induction labour
12 noon - could feel d contractions gettin stronger, cervic only dilated 1 cm
1pm - requested for epidural
4.30pm - dilated 3 cm
bb heartbeat unstable a few times cos not enough amniotic fluid when contractions get stronger, thus sometimes they hv to reduce d drip flow to slow down contractions resulting in slower dilation
7pm - dilated 5 cm, gynae said by 12 midnight 1 am if no progress gottta c-sect
9.30pm - bb's heartbeat sudden drop to 70/min, many pple came in...gynae was called back
epidural taken off n drip reduced...heartbeat stabilized after awhile
10pm - cervic dilated 7 cm, nurse asked if got urge to push or feel like passing motion. no feeling yet so waited. as epidural was taken off, d pain got more n more intense
11 pm - dilated 10 cm, pain was unbearable,started pushing...push n push...push n push...no strength...no breath...
1154pm - almost there but bb's head not in alignment, finally was delivered with forceps
so me now then got strength to log in to share my story. very sad cos no BM for bb despite massaging n pumping. latch bb on, she tried sucking but nothing so dun wan liao.
MIL gave bb FM for d time being. im still trying to TBF, not sure if i shld go buy an electric pump
any advice for me mummies?
