Hi Mummies,
After my fast and furious delivery, I oso "chop chop" discharged from TMC today. Its only 3rd day and Im already feeling tired..
My birth story which all happened on 10th Jan:
3pm:
After CTG at my gynae's clinic during my regular check up, gynae told me that I shld be feeling contractions soon. (tho I insisted I dun feel anything) Since it is my first birth, he asked me to admit after 10:30pm (coz after 10:30pm is considered another day's charge at TMC)
5pm:
Started to feel the menses-like cramps. It wasn't very painful so Im determined to admit after 10:30pm that day.
7pm:
After dinner, my back starts to ache. Pretty happy coz after waiting for so long (39wks 4 days), the pain is finally here! I told my hubby and he said he needs to clear all his work and OT before taking leave. I told him nvm coz I would only be admitted after 10:30pm.
8+pm:
The pain starts to get closer.. less than 10mins. I have pretty high pain tolerance so my mother forced me to call my gynae to check if I shld go in early. So I called, but my gynae said for my case, it wun be so fast. 10:30pm is safe unless I want to admit early. I told him I trust his words!!
9+pm:
My back feels like ripping apart! Contractions less than 5mins apart! My hubby just reached home. So he took his dinner and we decided to go TMC to wait just in case.
10:05pm:
Reached TMC but was refused admission until after 10:30pm coz the admission lady said its my gynae's instructions! My contractions were already 1 min apart but after she knows that its my first birth, she asked me to sit one side and wait!! So I waited loh.
10:21pm:
I couldn't sit coz it was too painful, so I paced up and down the corridor. Before I know it, I heard a "POP" and there goes my water bag.. burst. Super unglam coz I was leaking through my pants. The admission lady quickly push a wheelchair and wheeled me to one of the 2 bedder room on level 6 to change. On the way I still ask if she would charge me extra day coz it was not 10:30pm yet. She laughed and said my hubby can do registration later.
10:30-11pm
Still in the ward (not labour ward!) The pain intensify.. to 100000000000x after my water bag burst. I started to scream and wail loudly. The pain was so unbearable that I caved in and BEGGED for pain relief. The nurses told me they cannot give me coz my gynae is delivering another lady. His instruction was he had to see me before they can push me to labour ward! I went mad and started to cry, scream and swear!
Then I suddenly felt the baby coming out. I told my hubby and the nurses. Everyone tot I was hysterical and was just seeking attention. SO NOBODY BELIEVED ME! SO I had to endure the pain and HOLD the baby inside.
11pm
Gynae finally came! He did VE and told me its too late for any pain relief. The moment I heard this, I screamed even louder! THe nurses quickly pushed me to the labour ward!
11:06pm:
Once in the labour ward, I asked (screamed at) the gynae if I could push. Thank god he said anytime when I feel the urge. So I muster all my strength, regenerated the pain to energy and pushed with all my might!!
11:12pm
Before I know it, after 5 pushes, snipping and vaccum, the baby was placed on my chest! It only hit me he was out when he started to scream into my ears. My Lucas boy is born!! Instant relieved!
While they were cleaning my up, the nurse who was filling up the details told me it was only 6mins! Then I asked the nurse why they dun want to weigh my baby, she laughed and told me coz I did the reverse - delivery first then register. Then it hit me that we have not registered. Haha..
Everyone, nurses, gynae, hubby including myself were damn glad that it was fast and smooth.
The next morning, my gynae came by and told me that he mistook me for another lady when I called to ask if I shld admit earlier. He said if he knew it was me, he would have asked me to admit *horrified*
I told everyone I am not going to go thru childbirth again unless they can guarantee it fast and "sweet" like this time.
