sharon_limb,
congrats & i m also in MT A now. delivered yesterday with epi c-sect. which ward r u in? i just got the drip off today and couldn't walk long distance yet but maybe can pop by tmr to see u & ur darling if u r still around?
chris38,
u r rite abt the green liquid but i was very disappointed when gynae told me that i cannot try natural birth & need to go for c-sect then i started to tear... anyway, i wont want to trade my bb safety vs the after effect pain from c-sect. so far thank god, i can manage the pain better this time n can get up and walk on 2nd day as compared to my 1st c-sect.
my birth story :
3pm to 6pm - contractions started but didnt bother to time it cos busy looking after #1
6pm - went to parents house for father day dinner and too busy eating so never bothered to time contractions again
9pm - reach home and felt contraction happen between 5-10 mins. got a little worried n told hb and maid to standby
12am - cannot tahan liao cos keeping getting lower backache. called gynae and he say wait for another 1-2 hrs then go hospital.
12.30am - told my sis to come over my place to look after my #1 cos she was sleeping since 10pm. 1am - sis reached and hb changed diaper for #1 then that was the begining of trouble! #1 woke up and was looking for me. she refused to sleep unless i lie down nxt to her and hold her hands to sleep. she was never like that and when i attempt to sneak out, she will wake up n cry. this whole thing lasted till 3am.
3am - i cannot tahan the contractions anymore and #1 still couldnt sleep and cry when i tried to leave so end up i cry with her cos i pain until i want to cry too. sounds silly ya? hb got fedup and decided that all of us to go hospital.
3.30am - check in to delivery ward and took enema to clear bowels while my "troops" are outside entertaining #1 until they knock her out at 5am.
5am - contractions get closer and they offer me gas. ask for epi but say wait for gynae.
7.30am - gynae came, check cervix abt 1.5 cm dilate and break waterbag. green liquid came out and he told me cannot try natural as too dangerous. i refuse and tell him that i want to discuss with hb. senior nurse came n tell me cannot try natural n better go c-sect. midwife came in also and start telling me abt her personal story of green liquid affecting her bb brain cos she delivered her bb naturally. then i get worried and decided to give in and sign the consent form reluntantly.
8am - Outside Operation theatre and the door got stuck! Wah really suay rite? Waited abt 10mins then the door open and they administer the epi on me.
8.15am - they keep using the knife to poke at me and ask if i can feel sharp thing poking me. i told them yes so waited for another 5-10 mins b4 the epi gets into me totally n hubby came in
8.30am - heard baby cry and they start cleaning her up then passed to us to take our first family pic. afterwhich hubby went with them to take bb weight n etc while i knock out and only awake when i reach my ward at 9+am.
9.20am - brought my bb to start breast feeding. so far she can suck well, seemed to b better than my #1.
