To the rest of mummies who are delivering soon... Good luck ... when u see yr little ones all the pain are worth it....

Christine,
Surprised they let you go to ward first, is it becos you hasn't dilated and still must wait? I rem my 1st time, after admission, goes to observation room where doc break my water bag, clear bowel, shave me, then push me to labour suite where the anaethetist came to administrate the epidural and after is waiting game till delivery.

use hot towel to warm up and massage your breasts everytime before latching on your baby, it helps breastmilk flow esp in the beginning.

My birth Story :
26 Jan
7am - woke up to pee ... realise there's blood..
hb ask if i want to go gynae, i say no its
ok.
10am - start to feel contractions, so make my way
to my gynae. She told me I am in labour &
to admit to Mt A. I ask for some time cos
want to do some final preparation.
6pm - Admit to Mt A...
6pm to 12 am - Irregular contractions.
27 Jan
12.05am - Put on drip to hasten contractions.
4 am - Cervix only open 1.5cm
6am - Doc ask to up the drip dosage cos still
only 3.5cm. Doc inform my hb if i dun
deliver by 8.30am need to push in for
E- C sec... cos my labour too long & baby
not engage and not even lowered.
6am - feel Waterbag burst.Hb call the nurse.
Check cervix and its open 6cm. More bloody
show.
6-8am - GONE CASE... too painful. Depended on
laughing gas.
8.30am - Cervix open 9cm..
8.45am - Started pushing
8.56am - Baby pop
Someone was asking abt the labour pains.... the level of pain is beyond words.... But the urge of pushing is like u want to pass motion like that... I hope I dun sound too gross here... hahaha....
Bottomline is, it is possible to have natural birth even when baby not engage. Trust yourself and tell yourself u can do it. But maybe with baby not engage the pushing is tougher.

Hi all,
just to update, i've popped today. Natural with epi. Tried v hard to go just on gas but couldn't take it n started screaming away... Just to let mummies who r still undecided whether to go on epi, i was glad that i did coz the dilations came so much faster after it was administered. But i'm also glad that i tried to go w/o it n experienced some of the pain first. All the best to those popping soon!

Can i ask at which point should we ask for epi? Looking at happiness and bliss's birth story, is it the time when her waterbag burst?
Hi Mums, I am working as a doula so I support laboring woman to achieve what they want for the birth. I always tell my clients that labor pain is not like the kind of pain that is like breaking ur bones. It is juz severe discomfort. You will feel painful is becoz you are not relax enough and some of you have the drip. The drip is an artificial induction drug. It will make the contraction contract harder and more and your body does not have enough time to release enough endorphin (natural pain relief hormone). It will be good if you can encourage more endorphine by staying longer at home or at the place you are comfortable in, your husband's love and touches, soft lighting etc.
For those mum that have pass your EDD, stil trying hard not to be induced or having a c-section, you can try foot reflex massage. I did have a contact so PM me if you wan.

oh bbin> found ur birth story! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
epi> will it make dilation faster? hmm... hmm..
wonder if my cervix will co-operate, & how long I can tahan the pain. Btw the pain kicks in when contraction starts? Or still bearable until the point when cervix open till quite big like 5cm or more?
grgrr.. scary, wonder bb wanna meet me b4 edd or after edd (fridae) leh?

why some feel epi will make dilation faster is coz, wif the pain factor reduced/removed, u're less tensed, thus cervix will dilate easier... some may feel no pain during contraction thus may not be contraction = pain... its all up to individual... when cervix dilate till certain cm, means contraction 'attack' will be more n more frequent/intense... so it'll come to a point when its contraction every min! tats wat i feel...
peppersalt > usually mums will ask for a epidural when she is in transition (abt 7cm to 10cm). I would strongly recommend you to have a VE before they do the epidural procedure as from the time you ask for the epidural till the point when the dr come to insert the epidural, your cervix might have open more already.
woh.. thkz 4 sharing gals [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

And getting an epidural doesn't mean guarantee pain free.I have client took epidural yet still have half of the tummy feeling every bit of the contraction.
Bear in mind that having an epidural also means that this epidural medication will be also be in the baby's blood stream for 2 weeks. As during labor, your blood and baby's blood is still connected until the placenta is birthed.

VE = virginal examination i'm guessing...
ya, apparently i'm made to lie on my right side after epi was administered on the left side... say hv to let the drug flow to the right side...
i didn noe it'll be in bb's blood stream??!! wasn't highlighted in the consent form!
