My Birth Story
1000hr
Visited GY, only 2cm dilated.
GY did a stretch and I was 3cm dilated with irregular contractions.
1100hr
Went home by myself & experienced stronger contractions.
Called GY & we arranged to meet at Mount A.

Reached Mount A.
Went into First Stage Room as the all the delivery rooms were utilised.
Was given enema & told to hold for 10 minutes.
1330hr
GY came & did VE.
I was 4cm dilated with regular strong contractions.
GY broke my waterbag.
1400hr
Delivery room was available (actually they opened up the spare delivery room for me)
I waddled to the delivery room in my sexy hospital gown sandwiching the pads between my thighs.
I must have looked ridiculous.

I have asked for Epidural before admission & Dr Chong (previous Head of Anesthetist Department at KKH) did the procedure for me.
He's sure experienced & fast!

Felt like bearing down.
GY checked that I was 9cm dilated & told me to push.
I was like, now?

2 pushes (the contractions did the rest) and Julien's out!
He sure has strong lungs!
I did not have any episiotomy & experienced only 1mm tear which healed by iteself on the 2nd day!
All Glory to God!
