Oh forgot to add in my birth story...
I'm working in the hospital, so as usual I was at work...
2pm Started to have a bloody show... no contractions yet... So I contacted my gynae & arrange to go into delivery suite to check it out... Called hubby to pick up my hospital bag and come over to hospital once his work done...
5pm Went into Delivery suite after 5pm (cuz I knock off at 5pm), not much contractions still... comes like 30mins to 45mins... Cervix only open 2cm... So was send up to ward to wait...
1am Contractions started to get more regular... every 5 to 10 mins... cannot tahan liao so get the nurse to send me back to delivery suite to get gas...
5am Cervix was 3cm... still very slow in opening... getting high with all the gas...
8am Cervix was 5cm... still very slow in opening... Doctor induced my water bag & gave me medications to increase my contractions & make cervix dilate faster...
10am Cannot tahan the pain any more... so ask for epidural... Pelvis & back was all numb from the contractions pain already... so didnt really feel the needle pain...
11am Was fully Dilated finally... with 10cm... Started to push cuz baby's head was seen already... but push very long the crown just cant come out... Epidural was off to let me feel more contractions to push... Baby's heartbeat dropping as too long labour plus Baby was pooing inside my tummy so they scare he injested too much poo will infect the lungs... I panic when I overheard them say might need to go for e-op if cant push out... In my mind, was thinking... "Shit, no matter what, I need to push him out, if not E-op will be extra cost..." Prof arrived & after a few push no improvement so he uses forceps as baby's head was seen already... Within the next few seconds, Baby was out with my final push & forcep... I didnt even realise that he was out until i heard him cry... Then I relax & stop pushing... Lolx... Luckily baby was crying loudly... means his lungs is clear... but still admitted him to neonatal care for monitoring...
