6.30am - Reached KKH, lead into delivery room and changed into delivery gown.
6.45am - Antibiotic Drip for GBS and the Induce Drip to start contraction.
6.50am - Doc KT Tan came to broke my water bag and checked on dilation, still 3cm.
7.15am - Contractions kick in every 2 minutes, trying to endure.
7.40am - The pain is getting unbearable and the nurse suggested me to get take Epidural as the pain will get worst as they gonna increase the drip.
8.00am - The anaesthesia came and explained the side effects of taking epidural and I signed the consent form. Sitting very still, the jab was inserted into my spine. All I felt is the electric shock as the med went down my spine. Within minutes, I felt numbs on my lower body. The epidural is taking it effect as I start to shiver and itch (a common side effect of the epidural).
*During this time, the next delivery room lady was screaming and it's scaring the hell out of me!*
8.30am - The nurse came to check on me, 4cm dilated. Still got 6cm to go~~~
9.30am - Starting to feel pain again and I can feel like the baby is pushing down to my pelvis bone as well as the feeling of pooing whenever the contraction kick in. I called for the nurse and she checked again, 5cm dilated. She asked the anaesthesia to come and check on my epidural.
10.00am - Anaesthesia came and increased my epidural dosage. It takes about 15mins for the epidural to take the effects.
10.30am - Nurse came to check again, fully dilated! 10cm!! Oh my god~~ If only I know that it will dilate so fast, I would have endure the pain and won't want to increase the dosage!! Doc Tan came at the same time and was surprised that my 1st stage of labor is faster then she expected. I'm being asked to push whenever there's contraction but I can't as there's no feeling so Doc Tan switched off my epidural! :(
11.00am - After trying to pushed for a good half hour, Doc Tan decided to let me rest as my pushing is not good and it will only waste my energy if I continue to push.
11.30am - Doc Tan together with a midwife and a staff nurse came to help me with the pushing again. This time I can feel a little of the contraction. While pushing, the midwife put her hands onto my tummy and she tried to help me by pushing my tummy (I got muscle ache around my tummy area after that!). Doc Tan and nurses keep telling me: Just take 1 deep breathe and 1 long push and your baby is out! Within minutes, I saw Doc Tan use the scissor and 'snap' me and the next thing I know was MY BABY IS OUT!!
After that Doc Tan continue with the delivery of my placenta, asked if I want to keep it! Then start pressing my tummy to drained out my excess blood and also 'sew' me back...
While me just lied there flat, energy-less and watching hubby take photos of baby and mms our friends...
That's the delivery process of my 2nd princess.
