Hello mummies!
How's everyone! Has been hibernating for a while..
Like to share my birth story..
17 Nov
3am: Went for pee break, contractions were felt.
4.15am: Pain intensify but still bearable & contractions were 5-10mins apart.
4.35am: Woke hubby & told him calmly that it's time to go hospital. Hubby jumped out of bed in super speed which I've never seen before.
5.30am: Reached my mum's place as we need to send my boy to her. She 'armed' with 2 bottles of perfectly warmed chix essence, one for me (which was understandable) & one for hubby (not sure why he needs it)
Contractions a little unbearable now.
6.15am: Reached GlenE, 5cm dilated, contractions at 2 mins apart & bb's head still high. Midwife cannot decide if she should admin enema as contractions were this close. I told her I won't be able to hold the enema for long. She nodded, agreed & left the delivery ward.
6.25am: Midwife came running back & said enema is a MUST for all who is under my gynae. I was instructed to sit at toilet bowl immediately aft admin. Wah biang, im already trying to 'cope' w those contractions, still must get off bed to poo..
6.30am: An impossible 'mission' to hold the bowels & coping w my contractions at the same time, i let go all the enema... haha. Then my show came, out of a sudden, the URGE to push was so great that i thought im going to deliver in the toilet bowl. Hubby panicked when i cried out that im gonna push. Contractions came really fast & furious, had to struggle back to bed.
6.45am: Waterbag burst by 1 of my contractions. The effect was great as the water shot past my kneecaps. Intense pain, had 1 hand behind my back & another on bed railings. The urge to push was so great that i had my legs 'giap', hee!
7.05am: Gynae FINALLY came. Guess my 'giaping' works.. That half hr seems eternity. Didn't push & bb slides out on my next contraction. Had this horrifying pain like someone making a slit vertically, asked my gynae & he told me he didn't performed any episiotomy but bb's shoulders created a tear on his way out. Till now, this pain still lingers in my mind, eek..
7.09am: Bb Brian on my tummy, weighing 3.54kg..
