Nov 19th
9.00am: Checkup at clinic. VE - cervix not dialated. Doc worried and predicted that induction will take a long time and drag for days as she commented something about my weak cervix. Adviced me to admit immediately as I was already 5 days overdue.
11.53am: 1st tablet inserted, put into observation and CTG monitor at delivery suite.
2.30pm: Sent to ward for rest and waiting for contraction to start.
6.00pm: Go back to delivery suite for 2nd tablet insertion as cervix still not dialated. Put into observation n CTG monitor again.
*Despite 2nd tablet inserted, no reaction and contraction at all overnight*
Nov 20th
7.00am: Enema given and poo-ed.
8.40am: 3rd tablet inserted as only 1 cm dialated. Put into observation again and CTG monitor.
*At this point, I was already feeling 'sien' as the procedure kept repeating and purely 'WAIT'. Beginning to feel disappointed and in low morale*
9.30am: Contraction seemed to kick in, but very mild tho, came at an irregular interval and cycle.
*A good sign, finally! Spirit is up again!!*
12.00pm: Sent back to ward to rest and monitor contraction.
3.00pm: Back to delivery suite and put into observation and CTG monitor.
5.00pm: Contraction seemed not strong and very mild. Cervix still about 2-3cm dialated only! So, doc went ahead to break waterbag.
5.30pm: Contraction seemed to progress and in moderate level. Can feel the pain altho it was still bearable.
7.00pm: Cervix check - strange, still 3 cm dialated despite contraction picked up. So, to speed up the dialation, was put on induce drip in the hope that the progress is faster.
7.30pm: Can feel the contraction pain is stronger, did not hesitate long and asked for epi as I was already 'half dead' after long hours of waiting. Epi doc was called and epi was given.
*In between hours, doc did not check cervix but baby and me were closely monitored. Took naps in between and tried to rest as much as I can. Was so worried the progress will be slow and dragging based on previous progress. Sent hubby back home to have dinner and rest, thinking will not start to push so soon. But surprisingly, after epi was given, dialation seemed to be progressing fast, within 4 hours, I was ready to push already!*
11.40pm: Midwive 'saw' and told me baby is descending into birth canal, ready to push.
*I was in a lil 'shocked' state as I did not expect it to be that fast. But, woohoo...! I was so happy upon hearing that until I was soooo 'gan jeong' grabbing my phone and call hubby to come immediately.*
11.45pm: Within mins, everything were set up, ready for pushing. Midwive instructed on how to push and we tried a few pushes.
*Midwive said I was doing very well in the pushing and also said 2nd timers, baby is easy to come out. While waiting for hubby's arrival, we pushed a few times until baby's head is visible. Then we had to slow down, decrease the number of pushes and then stop just to wait for my hubby!

Midwive seemed to be impatient and asked whether hubby is already here or not!
Nov 21st
12.05am: Hubby finally arrived and we're set to go again! PUSH!!!...
*Within 5 pushes, princess Geona was finally out!! The first thing she did was pee and poo!! She even poo-ed 2-3 times until midwive complained and busy cleaning her poos rather than taking her weight and measurement!

And oh, ya...she cried VERY loudly until midwive also buay tahan! Wahahaha, seems like my princess is indeed VERY naughty!!*
I was so relieved and happy to see her out, FINALLY after the long hours and WAIT...all worth the wait
