My Delivery Process / Birth Account of BB Jermaine
Date: 27 November 2008 (Thursday)
1.15am - Arrival at KKH Delivery Suite.
1.20am - Do paperwork for admission.
1.30am - Inside Delivery Suite, put on CTG machine to monitor contractions & bb heartbeat.
2.30am - Signs of contractions detected, but no pain yet. (Pain Score = 0) Was inserted with tablet for induction into virginal.
5.00am - Some pain experience. (Pain Score = 1), with some backaches / cramps on & off.
10.00am - Waterbag burst automatically in the Delivery Suite, while watching TV. Midwife checked my cervix n am already 8cm dilated.
10.05am - Contraction / labour pain began. Contraction bearable.
10.15am - Put on CTG machine again. Midwife straightaway informed my gynae. Labour pain got stronger and stronger as the minutes passed-by. (Pain Score = 6) The pain was still controllable with the help of the breathing method. (Breathe in slowly frm the nose n slowly out from the mouth)
11.06am - My gynae, Dr Han arrived in my Delivery Suite. He checked my cervix and still dilation still remained at 8cm. Dr Han instructed midwife to put me on drip as he wanted to speed up my delivery process. He asked me n encouraged me to go straight ahead without epidural. I told him ya, I dont want epidural too.
11.10am - Was on drip already. Midwife cautioned the pain will increase tremendously. Indeed, the labour pain got more n more intense n super painful. (Pain Score = 10) I began struggling. Labour pain intervals got closer n closer, with no time for resting n recovering before the next pain striked again. Midwife sugguested I use laughing gas. I said okay eagerly.
11.25am - Was out on the laughing gas. It doesnt helped really much with the pain, at most made u feel abit giddy..but the super painfulness could still be felt.
11.30am - Labour pain was terribly unbearable n I started shouting, grabbing my hb hand.
11.35am - Told midwife Im in terrible pain already, and have the urge to push bb out. She asked me to try pushing..I was pushing n shouting terribly..Midwife told me not to shout to preserve my energy for pushing..I continued to push very hard, with only 1 thought in my mind,ie try to push my bb out so that I wont be so painful anymore..But no matter how hard I pushed, bb still dun want to come out. Midwife said there's still a rim blocking n felt that my bladder was veru full..She went ahead to drain out a large amt of urine from my bladder..I continued pushing in pain..Midwife aske me to hold my two legs wide open n continue pushing..It was difficult as I was in terrible pain..hb tried to help my right leg but I was struggling hard on bed.
11.50am - My gynae came n checked on me..he held my right leg firmly n asked me to feel free to kick him n asked me to try hard to push..Another midwife oso came in at this time n held my left leg..Dr Han told the midwife that I looked very tired n exhausted already..By this time, I was trying my very very best to push really hard whenever the pain comes..after few attempts finally, bb head came out le n Dr Han asked me to rest n tried when the next pain striked, I was in so terrible pain that I pushed again immediately using all my energy n my bb just flowed out by itself..
12pm plus - I was so happy that our bb Jermaine is borned..The labour pain subsided immediately..Dr Han immediately carried our bb and show me to confirm its a girl..hee..then he handed our bb to the midwife to take her weight n height, plus all the cleaning up etc..Dr Han then collected my bb cord-blood, cleaned her up n I held her in my arm..its such a watm feeling & I cried..finally I can hold onto my bb le..I have been waiting for so long for this day..I immediately let my girl latched on me, but she's not really used to it.. :)
Dr Han then continue to stitch me up..I told him I can feel the pain as I was not on epidural n asked him if I could have anaesthetist on the stitching area..he said no n asked me to smell the laughing gas instead..I smelled but could actually feel it as he stitched me up..
While waiting for Dr Han to finish the stitching, I couldnt help but smiled contentedly at the Father & Daughter touching scene..my hb was smiling so sweetly as he look at our beautiful daughter, while busy taking photos n video of her..at that instant really feel all the pain n woes are worth it..
Welcome our Jermaine..mummy n daddy are so happy to seeing you and Im sure you are equally happi to see us too..We will love you forever & ever de..^_^
