Hi mummies !!
congrats to those who have popped !!!
Now that i have a little more time on my hands,
my birth story:
4am - ish - felt contractions
7am - 10-15 min contractions, decided to drive to MAH.
8am - Admitted to MAH - 4cm dilated.
Doc arrived and predicted that i'd deliver late afternoon.
12pm - only 5cm dilated !! was wondering why it was taking so long to dilate !! i was walking ard labour suite, trying to be as mobile as possible !!! on hindsight, contractions were bearable, so maybe sld not admit to the hospital so early (the next time
)
2pm - contractions 5 - 10 mins apart and pain !
230 - asked for gas. used it only 4 times cuz it was too troublesome
3pm - bearing down sensation, was told that Doc was on the way.
320pm - Doc was positioned in front, and told me to push whenever i was ready. I had a mirror positioned in front too, so i cld see baby crowning !!
335pm - baby out after abt 4 gentle pushes, tore slightly and needed one stitch.
someone told me that having babies is an addiction, and i think i'm addicted !! haahaa, am already planning for the next one
