Hi all, sorry hv not been in here for e longest time.....ever since I delivered on 24th till now, it's really a roller coaster ride no matter how mentally prepared I was.....
My birth story: checked into KKH delivery suite on 23rd 2.30am due to water bag burst.....anxiously waiting for contraction n dilation but nothing happened. So inserted pill to soften e cervix n aft 2 hrs, dilation only 1 cm... Inserted another one. Meantime, eat breakfast. 2 hrs later, 2 cm. sianz!
By then close to lunch time...Doc suggest put on drip to speed up e contraction...I asked to administer epi first cos I know it's gonna b a long labour. So after lunch, administer epi, put on e drip n I'm happy Liao haha. E waiting game continues again. At first my dilation was still very slow, by 4 pm it was 4 cm. We were relieved as there was some progress....Doc predicted most likely next morning 6am...then by 9 pm it was 7-8 cm.... By then I was hungry
finally at 12 am started pushing...for 2 hrs n doc even said hv to c-sect cos baby pooed. I beg for one last try n he used forceps to assist n finally she's out! Mine also got a few midwives n another doc standing on a stool to help push on my tummy.....I was totally depleted after tt....but alas, considering e initial stage of breast feeding, this was nothing haha! Baby Judith was born on e 24th Dec, weighing 3.29 kg, 48 cm long.
