2pm- spotted red/menus on my panty-liner. bathed, blogged alittle (LOL) & prepared to set off.
3.15-3.30pm- FIL & daddy rushed home. drived to KKH & went straight to their delivery suite. did some registration at the counter and went in to their observation room to be observed for an hour. the nurse first wrapped something ard my tummy to monitor baby's heartbeat and contractions (if any) & informed me that the doc will arrive soon. i was alone cus noone is allowed to come in. not even daddy too. but i brought my fone in to msg. keke
4.30pm- doc came in & look at the chart. told me that there was little contractions shown but i couldnt feel anything at all. (bcus my waterbag isnt broken yet.) followed on, he told me that he going to check how much i've dilated. if i've dilate 3cm, he'll break my waterbag and i shall deliver by tonight. so then, he inserted something inside my vaginal. result was: 3cm dilated and he's going break my waterbag. in addition, he told me that he can feel baby's head is quite down le. *scary* then nurse came in, told mi that she will send mi to labour ward.
5-5.15pm- i'm inside the labour ward. again, they wrapped the same thing ard my tummy to monitor baby's heartbeat & contractions. soon, someone came and break my bag with a needle-like thing. tried breaking the bag twice. first attempt failed. 2nd attempt succeeded. and they said my water bag is very thin. hardly any liquid flowed out when it was broken. *no pain was felt as yet*
5.30pm- began to felt slight pain. similar to menus cramp. still tolerable. nurse asked me if i need any pain relief.. i told her i'm still doing fine with pain. if cant dahan, then i will take epidural.
6pm- 'cramps' began to be more painful & back is slowly aching. in additional, i have this shitting-pain; alittle like stomachache.
6.15-6.30pm -feel like shitting so much tt i told the nurse tt i would like to shit. *LOL* thought i will be assisted to the toilet. but i am wrong. she gave me a potty-like thing to do it on the bed. *alittle erxin but no choice* (at tt point of time, i am not sure if it is the contraction pain or the shitting pain. just request to shit first, if it isnt shit den forget it lo.) but at the end, it's reali shit pain, and i shit quite alot. it stinks too. wahahaha
6.30-7pm - after shitting, i feel much comfortable. but on the other hand, the cramps are hitting their extreme. the cramps are like converting themselves to shitting-pain/pan-sai pain or combining with the shitting-pain. then the nurse came in and i told them i cant take the pain anymore & tt i wanted epidural. however, they saw mi shit quite alot and suspected i might have dilated even more looking at the pain i am suffering. so again, they insert smt into my vaginal. result: 5cm dilated and they could feel baby's head even lower. told me tt mine will be veri fast cus i'm dilating like 2cm every hr. after then, they pass me a mask to breathe (it's pain-relief but the least effective one) and said i dun nid epidural. say i can do without it cus i already dahan so far le & i'm still so young.
7-7.45pm -the most painful moment ever. i jus breathe tt gas whenever contraction hits and grabbing my hubby's hand. screaming at times & kicking my legs on the bed.
7.45-8pm - nurses noticed tt i m in destress condition. remove my mask. (now i rely on nothin!!) insert smt in to check how much i've dilated. result: 7cm & ready to deliver. then u'll see nurses & doc walking in & out, preparing all the delivery equipments etc etc.
8pm-8.35pm - nurse began to teach mi how to PUSH & contractions hit its peak. the pain u feel now is extreme pan-sai pain. (take ur worst shitting pain ever and multiply by 3-5times.) i believed the pain is more than tt, but cus my bottom is partially numb by its own, so pain was reduced alittle. even when the nurse cut my bottom with scissors, i couldnt feel anything. all i can feel is purely the contraction. (when it hits, my eyes will b fully open. n when it's gone, i will lie back n rest to recover energy to push in the next contraction. contractions hit in each 2min interval. & in each contraction, u can push up to 4times.) this is oso the period where daddy saw baby's hair till baby's colour which is purple. bit scary hor. haha. tried pushing for the first 10-15 extreme-contractions. but failed, cus i didnt push properly. but when hubby told me baby's purplish, i told myself i nid to push properly n seriously. gan-chong le. so in the next 4-5contractions, baby came out. feeling is like shit coming out. lol.
8.36pm- xavier's born! *relief*
aftermath will be out the cleaning, measuring, weighing of baby, stitching and observation for 2hrs in the labour ward. i was sent to my ward at 11+ pm. so famished at tt moment but wad to do. have to ren till morning fer breakfast.
the end.
joey slept soundly at 10:23 AM
