DAY 1
Ah boy is so comfortable in my womb tt he refused to come out at EDD. Gynae advised that my water bag level is dropping, so v chose to induce the next day. Early morning I report at clinic for induction. After lunch, my contraction started and I was already tossing uncomfortably on the bed. Mid- afternn, I was sent to labour ward for gynae to break my water-bag. And wen I was told that my cervix was opened at 3cm, I cried for pain-relief... Imagine suffering from contraction since 12pm, and cervix only open 0.5cm... In order to deliver baby, the cervix nid open at least 9cm, so I nid 6cm more to go.. and it means I will be tortured in pain for more hours if I don’t take any relief... I was also impatient and I don wish my labour to last for 24hrs or more... So I took EPIDURAL... And to my surprise, my cervix opened up in less dan an hr. Perhaps the epi made me relaxed, thus cervix open faster... But then the epi make me feel painless, tt I don have the urge to push even though the cervix is big enough. End up I took 2 hrs to finish pushing ah boy out... Of coz I rest & watch TV cartoon ard 1 hr in btwn... it really so difficult to push... midwives and gynae kept saying I pushing in my facial expression, and not really pushing correctly... Wen they said they could c the hair, ah! I was gtg more excited and try my best to push harder. Coz the longer I take, ah boy will lack oxygen and I don wan cesarean. I like the feeling wen ah boy slip out of my body.. it feels such a relief.. The action is very fast but shiok... Like I managed to squeeze out a BIG shit in my buttock. Haha... After ah boy is out, Vic started to get busy… busy wif his camera.. taking pic of his lovely son... Me... I was too exhausted and laid back while gynae push out my placenta and stitch back my wound. Ah boy was given some oxygen 1st, then clean up a bit. He was taken out of the ward to take height and weight measurement. Den he was brought back to the room to me. Mid wife wanted to ensure I’m alright by asking me wat is ah-boy gender (showing me his birdie) and let me hug ah boy... Oh he so tiny... and fr that time onward, I become a MUMMY!!!
