Ladies,
Finally i'm back
Just got discharged today but Ovann is still in hospital cos he's got jaundice .. hiaz .. it's a common problem huh? Hope he can go home tomorrow.
Ok, my birth story:
<u>19 Aug</u>
8.45am - Last check up with Ah Wong, did VE and was surprised that i was already abt 2cm dilated. Both of us dun think will have labour so soon, so we confirmed the date to be induced for 21st.
1pm - Ta bao lunch, do some grocery shopping and went back home. Felt tummy tightening.
3pm - Put up bb's bedding, changed my bedsheet and vacuum floor ... still feel ok.
6pm - Tried to rest but felt slight contractions. Start to monitor and it was abt 5mins apart.
6.30pm - Told hubby abt contractions and he flew back home. Ate dinner, prepare hospital bag, shower and prepare to send my dog to my mum's place.
9+pm - Reached hospital and was monitored. Contractions still 5mins apart.
10pm - Dr wong came & checked, got me to clear bowel, nurse shave me partly and send to delivery ward.
<u>20 Aug</u>
12am - Cannot tahan contraction le .. asked for epidural ... luckily the anesthetician came quite fast and pain was relived.
2am - Did VE .. already 6/7cm dilated .. so happy, thot i'm reaching 10cm soon
7am - Finally dilated to 10cm .. midwife started to ask me to push but after pushing for abt 1hr, Ovann still dun want to come out. Meanwhile, I nearly died of exhaustion le ..
8+am - Luckily Dr wong came and helped me with a few pushes, but still no improvement. She said we do a last push & if still like dat, she'll use forceps which i agree readily. Tried 1 last time & failed ... so used forceps and Ovann was delivered at 8.53am!
Ovann's weight: 3.3kg
Ovann's length: 50cm
Delivery method: Natural with epi & forceps
(reira, pls help to update .. tks!)
Now is the hard part ... expressing breast milk time!!!
