Hi mummies! I have given birth to my girl on 3rd January.
I had been having irregular but intense and painful contractions since 37 weeks but baby was still comfy in me as per gynae. But on the 2nd January evening I started having lower backache and could feel baby pushing downwards so after monitoring for a few hours, I admitted into hospital at 11pm. Gynae came soon after to do a VE. Cervix was very soft and 3cm dilated. CTG showed regular contractions so he broke my water bag. I asked for epidural shortly after. Cervix was still 4cm at 2am but all of a sudden the contractions became close and intense with such a strong urge to push. I asked to increase the epidural. And the midwife did another VE at 4am, I was already 9cm. I started pushing after the midwife called the gynae at 7am. Only 30 minutes of pushing but very exhausted. Almost gave up but all of a sudden baby popped out. Such a sense of relief! And I couldn't stop crying. Tears of joy upon hearing my baby cry for the first time. Shortly after the side effects of epidural kicked in and I started vomiting violently. No chance to latch on baby because I was given a jab to stop the vomiting and put to sleep. Woke up 4 hours later feeling terrible and still sleepy. Thankfully when I finally latched on baby she was ok to breastfeed. Felt so much better today and started eating without feeling nausea. Going to be discharged tomorrow!

wah...fast and furious is good.Ya lor...c-sec also epi = got side effect...
My elder sis very fast leh in her delivery...her water bag burst liao den went she feel the pain n otw to mt a her bb already came out once reaching the a&e entrance lor...just the distance from jurong west to mt a...save her dr time also but still charge the same for the dr fees lol easy job for the dr...how I wish can be fast n furious too...haha
Thank you everyone for the kind wishes!
@Give a hope, because even when we are fully dilated, baby's head may not have descended low enough. So my gynae felt it's good to wait in order to shorten the pushing time. Provided baby not in distress too!
@ciakes, congrats to you too!! Our waiting game finally ended. Keep trying! Don't be dismayed even when baby cannot latch well. They are still very sleepy learners at this stage. Give it some time. The milk will come. Slowly but surely. Keep the feeds short and frequent.
I accidentally fell asleep while breastfeeding baby yesterday and woke up with sore bleeding nipples. Now I am having a hard time feeding too. It's so painful on both sides though the lactation consultation feels baby is latching on properly. So glad to finally meet sister kang in person!! Gotta persevere!
ur gynae is right, no point pushing early. esp when u have no urge to push.
better to ask hubby to watch u when u breastfeeding so that he can take baby away if u fall asleep. safer too.
I hope I meet Sister Kang too!
She is a LC in Mount A, I think...who is sister kang?
Is that means got to wait bb head is descended low enough den only dr or midwife will ask u push?Thank you everyone for the kind wishes!

Haha ya only fast n furious part is good but my gynae doesn't not like leh he said if emergency need help still otw without proper support how?wah...fast and furious is good.
paying the same amt is not good. lol
For me, I was alr fully dilated but baby was still high. Had two nurses help me with pushing for abt an hour before they called the gynae down for assisted delivery cos the pushing didn't really help much. Within 20 min of gynae's arrival and some more pushing, baby was out. Still feels so surreal..Is that means got to wait bb head is descended low enough den only dr or midwife will ask u push?
Ya lor ur waiting game finally ended...enjoy w ur bb n have a good rest
Thanks!! We jiayou tgtr!!Congrats @ciakes & @lovexuan!!!
Have a good rest!!
@ciakes, don't stress!! The more you stress then it will work against your milk production too. Keep on latching Bb and you can also use your pump your stimulate milk production... Got 1 mummy I know who have birth on 1/1 only got her colostrum today. I was lucky to have my milk supply running the same evening after I gave birth but cuz Bb was in NICU, he couldn't latch so have to pump for him...
Right now I am both latching and pumping. My Bb is already 11 days old but still v sleepy, so hv to coax him awake to feed. My hubby always remind me that our Bb will teach us patience and we will need to work on his timing, not ours... Jiayou okay??
I think everyone will react differently to the epidural. I didn't have vomiting but instead got a fever and the shivering. But still, I think epidural rocks cos I managed to rest quite a bit while waiting to fully dilate.Thanks for sharing. I pray I can tahan without epidural. Dont think I will like the vomitting part. and I really hope to latch baby immediately.
