Hello mummies, here goes my birth story.
13th June 11am : Went gynae clinic to insert first pill for induce, monitor on CTG nothing happens and can go off.
13th June 5pm : 0.5 cm dilation only, no contraction yet, insert 2nd pill for induce. Monitor on CTG, detected contraction about 2 to 3 mins apart, gynae says to go home and admit at 11pm.
13th June 11pm : Admitted to TMC and put to observation ward. Nurse came to shave and clear bowels. Gynae checked and it's only 2 cm dilated. Contraction still 2 to 3 mins apart. Inserted the 3rd pill, detected contraction 1 min apart, pain was a bit unbearable.
14th June 2am : Ask for epidural, doc came at 2:30 am and administer epidural. Was shivering like mad, start to have a bit of fever and vomit.
14th June 3:30 am : Waterbag burst and Gynae checked only 3cm dilation
14th June 8:30 am : Gynae checked still 3cm dilated, contraction was still regular, about 1 min apart.
14th June 2pm : Gynae checked about 5 cm dilated,
she was saying dilation is a bit slow, if by 6:30pm still about 5cm, may have to go for c-sec.
14th June 3:30pm : Gynae came by again and checked still only 5 cm, my contraction was still regular, about 1 min apart.
14th June 6:30pm : Midwife came to check, still 5cm, hence she called my gynae. Decided to go for emergency c-sec. Preparation done and wheel me to Operating Theatre.
14th June 7:11pm : First loud cries of Baby Elyssa were heard !!! C-sec is really fast, like a 10 min job and I suffered so many long hours of shivering.
After the c-sec, my BP suddenly shot very high, and I can't even breath, they gotta let me breathe oxygen for the entire night. Was still shivering for about 2 hours+ after the op. For the next few days in hospital, the pain was damn bad, however the moment I see my girl, whatever pain also gone. Truly amazing
