Hi all mummies and mummies to be!
I am from the August thread, and I have just given birth on last fri. My Edd was supposed to be 9 Aug 10 but bb decided to come out early. My bb is around 36weeks4days.
My birth story:
16 July 10:
4.30am- Water bag burst while sleeping. Dripping alot, quickly informed hubby who jumped out of the bed. Went to bathe and we set off. I used my normal pad while on the way to hospital, but my pants still got soaked wet. No contractions yet.
5.15am- reached hospital and immediately sent to labour ward. Nurse did a VE check. 1 cm dilated only. damn pain loh.
8.30am- asked for epidural cos contraction was coming and painful. around 50% more painful than my menses cramp. I asked for epidural already, cos I could not stand pain. Epidural was injected and the process was not painful at all.
9.00am: Oxytoxin was given to speed up contraction, cos gynae said my contraction was irregular and slow.
11.30am to 12.25pm: Gynae came and did VE. 9 cm dilated! He said get ready. I was like, what
?! Started to push. As I was numbed from epidural, I just pushed when the midwife and my hubby said push. I could not push properly and my bb was vacuummed out.
Everything happened pretty fast, I was in a blur state when my bb was out..
All the best to you guys!! Take good of care yourself! Those who have decided to use epidural, please ask for it early. It really minimises the pain...
