Don't know if anyone is interested to know. But I'll just share it with you on Rach's behalf.
Rach's Birth Story.
Rach was already 3cm when she arrived Mt A at 8am.
As she wanted Natural delivery, her doctor checked and her cervix was soft enough, That was a good sign. He broke her waterbag and let her wait for the natural delivery moment.
At 1pm, she was still 3cm. >.<
The doctor suggested giving her oxytocin.
Once that was in, the contractions really kicked in hard and fast.
3pm, she was 4cm dilated.
5pm, 5cm dilated.
It was so slow she was almost "gone" by 5pm.
5-6pm was torture.
From 4+pm the nurses were already asking if she wanted the jab on her thigh as she was surviving on laughing gas since 3pm. But she rejected the jab.
By 6pm,the pain was so intolerable that she was literally screaming in pain. For the 4th time, another nurse persuaed her to take the jab as Rach looked really distressed.
She gave in to the pain and took the jab, though it was a little late for it, because once the jab went in, the contractions reached a new peak and she was screaming.
15-20mns later the nurse told Rach's HB to put the laughing gas on her permanently to make her drowsy.
That was when she finally dilater from 5-8cm in just 30 mins.
7+pm, Rach is fully dilated and ready to push!!!
( Her doc was nect door with another pushing mum )
Rach tried to push for the crown to be seen.
At about 8pm, her doctor came over and after a couple of pushes her princess was out at 2011hrs. ^_^
Lesson learnt and to share. The jab should have been taken earlier, everything would have sped up long ago. But it was a good experience nonetheless. Nurses said that Rach has high threshold for pain.Don't be stubborn and listen to the professionals. =)
Rach salutes those mums who didn't even need the jab.
She would have taken even longer without the jab, And died. XD
Praise the Lord.
