Hi all,
Been missing for a while, I had delivered BB Caitlyn on 14 Oct. Here's my birth story:
(a) Contraction started at an interval of 10 mins @ 0300hr... So decided to monitor for another hr. Then woke hubby up and said, today shall be the day
(b) Took a shower and arrived @ Mt A @ 0530hr. Down the delivery ward, there's a screaming lady, very loud...
(c) Nurse strapped me to CTG, checked cervic and said only 2cm dilated. Cleared my bowel.
(d) Nurse came again, strapped me to CTG and Dr Fong ordered them to break my water to see how it was.
(e) Dr Fong came at 0800hr, checked my cervic and said only 3cm dilated. Put me on drip to expedite the process and said shall be able to deliver around afternoon.
(f) Contraction getting stronger and more frequent. Decided not to be hero, 'cos the screaming down the ward really scared almost everyone off. Heard from the nurse that the lady was too late for epidural... So I thought since might will be delivered in the afternoon, why make myself suffered. So signed the consent form. Dr Fong even told my hubby to advise me not to be hero to fight against pain...
(g)Guess what, the nurse saw me in distress, and decided to check my cervic, the next moment, she said, called Dr Fong and prepared me for deliver... I was like har... was this a joke.
(h)All I can rely on was the gas. Dr Fong walked in around 0920hr and said he just reached the Paragon carpark and ganna called back. Luckily haven't stepped into the clinic yet. I was like har, I wanted to push liao, still joke with me.
(i) After 6 pushes, I delivered BB Caitlyn @ 0946hr, weighing 2.96kg, length= 50cm and head= 30cm. I was shocked and surprised too. I never thought I can make it naturally without any injection.
(j) BB Caitlyn came out crying loudly and a while later, playing with her saliva. Dr Fong commented she's extreme alert.
(k) I glad BB Caitlyn latch on very immediately after I was pushed to the ward. She's a real sucker and I glad I enjoyed the breastfeeding process, though tired but felt extreme satified.
Now me still in hospital, supposed to discharge today, but she spotted jaundice by PD and advised to stay for another day. I shall be back home tomorrow...
