hi all, finally got some time to myself. so updating my birth story here.
26 mar
12 noon: went to my gynae, dr ang's clinic for induce.
10:30pm: admitted into mt A. dr then came for check up and found out that i was still 1 cm dilated, so inserted more dosage of pill in me to aid the dilation.
27 mar
12+am - 5am I had show and then subsequently some contractions. i asked for the gas and the thigh jab to help relieve the contraction pains. but the gas doesn't work well with me and i puked every hour(!!!). i really hate puking, and thats the thing i hate the most during my pregnancy.
5:45am: my water bag broke and the contraction pain escalated. i think it's the drug's effect coz it seems like the pain is never-ending. so i took epidural. there goes my plan for a natural birth! i did get some sleep with epidural coz it makes me v sleepy.
10+am: dr visited me again and used another type of med on me to speed up the delivery process. contractions started to be intensive and regular.
4pm: nurse called dr, coz she n midwife tot i am 9cm dilated, but turned out that i was 9cm dilated at the peak of contractions. i was only 6cm dilated otherwise. nevertheless dr ang asked me to try pushing. i tried pushing for 3 times when he realised that bb was in distress and pooed. so he sent me in for emergency c-section.
by 4:45pm, i was in the OT. i cld feel the needles pricking me so opted for GA. by 5:26pm, my Alexander was born.
BUT
his face was accidentally nicked by the scapel and that resulted in a 2cm long wound. the wound is superficial but we feel so heart pain. during the operation i almost required a transfusion of blood as there were some complications.
so this is my long story of my long n traumatising delivery which in all took 17 hr. giving birth is really not easy for me and i salute those who go natural all the way.
