hi all MTBs!
thanks for the well wishes!
Finally we are back home!
Here is my birth story...
I delivered Kaïla Le-En 乐恩 on 25th Nov, 8.40am (Paris time),
at 36 weeks 6 days. She weighs 3.50kg and measures 48cm.
I experienced watery discharge 22nd Nov (sunday night), didn't think what it is, until on 24th Nov, decided to go to hospital to check.
Gynae did a test and confirmed that my waterbag have a tiny scratch... decided to admit me straightaway until I deliver in case of infection. Gynae also prescribed medications, hopefully to hold on my delivery since i was only 36 weeks 5 days.
Starting from midnite, i started to feel contractions which are 5 mins apart, at 2am, i paged for the nurse and told her that i felt pain. She checked and say there are regular contractions, however, my dilation is only 2cm. So must wait.
Then at 4am, I cant handle the pain anymore, so the nurse came and check, this time, it was 4cm. So decided to push me to the delivery room. My hubby arrived at 4.30am. Then epidural was administered. From then it was jux waiting for more dilation. No more pain... very comfortable.
By 7.30am, i was fully dilated, however, baby is still making her way near to the exit. The midwife decided to wait a while longer, so that I don't have to push so much. At 8.15am, we started to get to work.
And voila, by 8.40am, my daughter is out!
She wasn't breathing enough by herself, so she was pushed to ICU for oxygen support. Luckily, after 2 hours, she was able to breath by herself.
Then when she was 3 days old, they realised she got jaundice, and went to the blue light. And she was ok the next day.
On the 5th day, gynae decided that we can go home!
She was weighing 3.180kg when we discharged.
To all MTBs... enjoy ur pregnancy! It's a great joy!
