Hi all,
I've popped on 10 Oct!
Here's birth details:
EDD: 28 Oct
ADD: 10 Oct
Natural asst delivery with epidural
Weight: 2.92kg
Length: 48cm
Baby's name: Lovelle Pheh
Here's the birth story:
9 Oct
5.00pm - Already 1.5cm dilated. Induced at ACJ clinic, Gynae inserted 1 tablet to induce me and was monitored on CTG for contractions. Zero contractions.
5.30pm - Advised to go home and wait for contractions and was told that contractions usually start between half hour to 6 hours after induction. If no contractions, i can admit at 11pm for monitoring.
11.00pm - Admission at TMC, sent to observation ward, cleared bowels and waited for contractions.
11.15pm - Contractions started. Bearable.
10 Oct:
12.15am - Contractions got more intensed at 5 mins interval. Gynae came and broke the waterbag, 2.5cm dilated. Estimated 1cm dilation per hour, and should be fully dilated in another 7 to 8 hours time.
3.15am - Contractions were really painful and opted for epi and was sent to delivery ward.
3.30am - Epi administered and took effect at about 4am.
Managed to catch about 2 hours sleep.
6.00am - Awake and felt contractions (bearable as i was on epi).
9.00am - Gynae came and checked. Fully dilated.
9.11am - Pushing begins.
10.11am - Baby arrived with assisted delivery as baby did not turn to face down and vacuum was needed to help turn baby's head downwards. Baby's cord was still around her neck when she was born.
(Oops! We were late by a minute, otherwise, she would have been born at 10.10am)
Cheers!
