Catz: Your experience sounds scary. Mine was not so bad. I had some pains, called my gynae clinic, they asked me to go down. Went down, strapped me on the machine, confirmed it's labour pain, asked me to check into the delivery suite for a more detailed check with graph. Gynae came after 15mins, looked at the chart and said baby could be in distress, asked hubby to do admission and suggested we go for c-section immediately. I was adamant I wanted a natural delivery, suggested we go for induction first, we debated for a while, I called a few friends for opinion, prayed, then I gave in. We went for c-section. I asked if we're going for GA or epi, my gynae said only GA for him. *faints* Another round of debate cos hubby couldn't be with me if I go under GA. I trusted the gynae and gave in in the end.
In the operating theatre, I was asked by the anaesthetician my weight and height, my name etc. He asked me to think of happy thoughts and breathed normally. My gynae and the baby's PD arrived. I KO! I woke up to a voice calling my name. Found myself lying at the waiting bay, felt the pain and called out. Nurse said the painkiller is kicking in. I looked at the clock, barely an hour has passed. I started asking how was my baby and to see her.
So mine was an emerg c-section cos it wasn't pre-scheduled. I didn't even try for natural.
