07/12/2008
2.30pm - 1st contraction felt after back from toilet, started to count the timing... it came every 10mins, however each contraction was quite short, hubby asked me to go hospital but i wanted to wait n see first
3.30am - the interval getting closer now.. which less than 10 mins each, so decided to go hospital now... did last min packing
3.50am - left home & went for Mcdonald's to buy chesseburger, wanna get sth to eat b4 admitted to hospital
4.20am - Reached hospital.. contraction getting more n more intense & closer, happened each 5 mins
4.40am - checked into labour ward, midwife came & performed VE, and informed me that i was already 6cm dilated, so might be too late to opt for epi... the moment i heard that i really freaked out manz... i 'begged' her to call anaethetist immediately coz i dun wan to giv birth w/o epi... she told me i should hav come into hospital as soon as contraction started! i was also not given enema to clear bowel coz midwife said that she dun wan me to 'give birth' in toilet...
5.10am - Anaethetist came & administered epi
5.30am - contraction still can felt, so asking nurse to increase dosage but seem useless
6.00am - 8cm dilated now but baby head still very high... contraction pain was now getting stronger & longer...
6.30am - the contraction pain was so unbearable now, asking for dosage increase again but was told already max... Max??? shit... the epi was not helping at all !! the nurse then trying to pinch my tigh & arm very hard & i told her no different at all coz my lower part of body had never gone into numbness even from the moment the epi was injected, seems like nothing she could do now & juz asked me to try to push when i hav the strong urge so can 'push' the baby down asap, coz she can only call gynae when bb is down...
7.00am - started to roll in the bed when each contraction came in, i even 'bang' on the side wooden bedrail coz i was too painful !! hubby saw me in deep pain so kept asking the nurse when the gynae will be coming in...
7.30am - gynae finally came in... i was given 'local anaethetist' injection at down there then performed episiotomy & i was too pain to feel it...
7.49am - after 2 push my baby finally made his appearance & all the contraction pain stopped on the spot...
what a 'nightmare', i told my hubby i would not want to giv birth anymore... i never expect my delivery will turn out to be like tat coz my previous labour with epi was quite 'painless'! ... so i ended up hav severe back pain... and the pain is even worse than my stiches pain at vagina!
