I'm in my 40th week and Little One still doesn't want to come out. On this day, 29/04/09, I have my appointment with Dr. Fong in the morning. Should be my last one already, if I'm not wrong, as I've said, I'm in my 4oth week, if Little One still being stubborn, Dr. Fong have to induce me.
At 8.40am or so, my alarm rang. The moment I opened my eyes, I feel a gush of warm water flowing down, my water bag burst. I knew the feeling is not right, but I still can think maybe I wet my bed? Haha. I quickly woke up and told my mum, she called Dr. Fong clinic while I go bathe. After that, a nurse from the clinic called back and asked me questions like whether the water was dripping little by little or alot gushing out, have I done my pre-registration at the hospital. Got everything ready and told HusB my water bag had burst and I'm going to give birth, he's like so shocked. Sissy was so nervous she couldn't concentrate on working. Haha.
Since I've done my pre-registration earlier, I cabbed down to Gleneagles Hospital with Mummy and Rachel and went to the labour ward straight away. I admitted at 10am.
Inside the labour ward, changed and put me on the I-forgotten-what-is-that-machine-called, the one to monitor baby's heartbeat. Then nurse will come every now and then, asking me questions, bla bla bla ... Dr. Fong came and check my cervix, 3 cm dilated. I don't like the feeling, it's painful. And then burst my water bag. Nurse pumped some water thing I forgotten what's that call into my ass and said I have to wait for 5 mins for everthing to flush out. But not even a minute I have stomachache and need to go to the toilet already, nurse still ask tme to wait abit longer, I told her I can't wait I need to go. Nurse laughed.
A while later, another nurse came and lead me to the delivery suite. Lie on bed, nurse put me on the machine again and put me on drip. While I was lying on the bed, I saw a TV at the top corner!! Happy! I asked the nurse: 'can I watch TV anot?' Nurse said can. Ok, swithing channels before I settled on ch 8. Time was 12pm.
Within half an hour, my lower back started to get very, very sore. Laughing gas is no sue at all, make me feel giddy and it has a strange smell. Nurse keep coming in every now and then asking me to rate the pain, when the started to get very intense, nurse keep asking me whether I want epidural or not. I insisted not getting one. Then Dr. Fong came and check my cervix, it's not dilating. Nurse then told me, it's my first time I had to take something, I still insisted no. Then she told me if I bear with the pain, I can't relax thus the cervix will not dilate. So, I decided to take something, not epidural, a jab on the thigh one.
After the jab, I feel like vomitting, then I feel my eyelids became very heavy, I can't keep my eyes open. I slept but I can still feel the pain, the jab only reduces the pain by 40 to 50% only, and the effect only last for 3 to 4 hours, but my whole body feel so weak. At around 2plus in the afternoon, I heard HusB voice, he came inside the delivery suite and talk to me but I'm too high already, as if semi-conscious, I don't know what I'm talking about, I can even mistaken him wearing shorts when he was actually wearing a jeans. I remember asking the nurse whether I can take the jab again if the effect wears off.
He left awhile later, I think he too bored already. I'm like semi-conscious and sleeping, can't talk to him, even if I'm talking I don't know what am I talking. He went to Botanic Gardens wit his friends.
At around 4plus in the afternoon, the jab starting to wears off, I'm much more awake and I can feel the contraction coming, damn pain. This time the pain is at not at the lower back, is at the tummy area. Then I've the urge to push already, I quickly called for the nurse as told. They came in and told me not to push yet, until Dr. Fong came and check my cervix, 7cm dilated. He told me I will give birth by 630pm, so if HusB is coming I can call and ask him to come now. I calles HusB and he came back a while later.
Pain is getting more and more intense, but pain is nothing compared to the urge to push. My body wants me to push but cannot push, so irritating and I can feel something big, as if a watermelon is stuck inside. But I secretly push because I feel better.
It is getting more and more uncomfortable, I keep wanting to push but nurse keep asking me not to. HusB is nervous I can tell, watching me in pain but he can do nothing. His presence is not important to me anyway, he's not much of a help because I'm too busy concentrating on the pain to notice his presence. LOL.
Dr. Fong came and check my cervix, and said I can start pushing already. I'm so glad, so I started pushing myself while Dr. Fong and nurses are getting everything ready.
HusB dare not see, his legs even become wobbly! Haha. Because he saw The Part very disgusting. So he waited outside nervously. A few push, very fast, with Dr. Fong and nurses encouragement, viola! Little Bundle of Joy came to this world. Stitched and keep looking at my boy. Can't believe I've given birth!
HusB came in a while later and when was surprise I have given birth already, he thought it was going to take longer. He keep looking at his son, took photos, we were too engross in our son that we forgotten to take photos together with our newborn. Wasted.
Then I got transferred to the ward. HusB wanted to accompany me through the night but got chase out. LOL.
Last but not least, I enjoy being pregnant, though giving birth is a painful experience, but I kinda enjoy it. Looking at my son, everything is worth it.
Ever since he was born, he brightens up my otherwise nondescript days.
