Hi,
disappeared a few days. gave birth to my gal on 8th september, 1139pm. She was 3.4kg.
Was induced at 2pm cos cervix still not dilated. Told nurse dun wan epidural. nurse said will come put me on ctg in 3 hours. 30min later, constant contractions came on, 4pm contractions so PAINFUL! think i pain until blur liao never thought that i could actually call the nurse. Nurse came at 430pm, saw me said:"poor gal you should have called me earlier!" OUCH!! nurse checked me, still not dilated further and lots of show. I almost faint!
i "begged" for epidural. Was then send to the labour ward immediately. 6pm cleared bowel and got the epidural working, What a RELIEVE! dr came and checked still not dilated(still tip of finger) 730pm nurses came to check, 1cm, 9pm 3cm but still bleeding alot. 10.15pm, nurse came checked 5cm, but too much bleeding and she sounded so worried. Prepare me to go csect while calling dr to come and put me on oxygen. Dr came, told me safer to go csect, placenta could have detached away from baby. Baby would be lack of oxygen. I consented. Hubby could follow in to see as it's emergency csect. Cried! SO SAD! :'(
11.39pm my gal came out! Nurses cleaned her, wrapped her and put on my chest! She was so alert! kept looking at me and listening to me! Very emotional moments. Told the nurse to bring to my hubby. He managed to take a few pictures of her.
During the procedures, I could feel the cutting, pulling etc. but no pain! really amazing experience.
I'm on total breastfeeding the next morning onward. First few days only few droplets of colostrum but my baby sucked well so was very encouraged. now i can express 50ml breastmilk for her.. hope she continues to drink.
