Congrats to all mummies who have delivered!
Finlly manage to log in after past few days of resting and when the episio wound is not as painful compared few days back.
Below is my birth story on 08 June 2009.
0830 : Admission to MT A hospital. (Had a bottle of chicken of essence and a full breakfast b4 admission for strength to push baby later)
0850 : In the delivery room and did a urine test and strap on CTG monitor
0900: Gynae came and do a vaginal examination. Was told 2 to 3 cm dilation(last wed at gynae clinic was 2cm dilate). Burst water bag - can feel like urine flowing out on and off. Didnt insert enema as i have poo twice at home and in hospital b4 admission already. So nurse said my bowel should be cleared.
0905 : Was on drip wif needle insert on my left hand. Felt the needle, it was about 5cm long wor.. but not so painful when pricked.
1100 : Feeling menstrual cramp. For once i know how a contraction felt.
1127 : Have consistent contraction for 50secs at 3 mins interval.
1230 : Increase drip for induction
1300 : Nurse did VE again at 3cm dilation.
1435 : Contractions starts to be intense. Heard that lauging gas will feel high and of no use. So for fun to try it and its right, felt my head is very light and doesn't curb any contractions pain, worse is felt no strength at all so how to push later.. so i tried 3times and gave up.
1515 : Request for epidural.
1600 : Did another VE and 5cm dilate
1640 : Did VE again and dilate to 8cm! Nurse check with me if i have the urge to poo, i say no leh.
1740 : Contractions at 2mins interval at 40secs duration
1840 : Did VE again and dilate 9.5cm (i thought baby is coming out soon until you read on... Still no sign of feeling to poo)
2055 : Nurse check again and was told 10cm dilate already. Nurse informed doc and was told to let baby head push down further.
2200 : My 2nd epidural dosage finishing soon, left with 5ml and i start to feel the contractions kicks in. Oh god, gynae will be coming soon and at this time no more epidural(15ml). Nurse say push need to have a bit of contractions so dun need epidural. But what i felt is not abit as the contractions get very intense. Was then put on the 3rd syringe at 14ml. Left leg is numb and right leg felt a little contractions which is good enough to push baby.
2230 : Gynae finally arrive and joke as usual. Hubby taking picture of me preparing for delivery with both legs on rest.
2240 : Gynae felt baby's head comin down and urge me to push like going to poo. Hubby saw baby head coming out and together with gynae and 2 nurses, they all encourages me that baby is coming, its coming... Felt gynae sicssors cut like cutting hair sound.
2302 : After 20mins of push, baby is born to the world with crying.. Hubby cut off the umbilical cord and gynae ask my hubby to shout, "I AM DADDY x 3 times! haa..) Baby eyes open when the nurse place her on my chest. Wonderful feeling after finally manage to see how baby looks like after wondering for 10mths
Services of Mt A : overall great! The nurses are encouraging and the same indian lactaction consultant came to see me twice to teach me patiently on the latching techniques for about 20mins per visit. The best deal, my hubby stay over for 2 nites at single bedded with no charge at all!
