hi alllllll.................... yes......... i've finally "popped".........yessss.... i know it's abit late hahah... but i've been trying to settle down awhile before i can manage my time between feeds and my naps and my meals and what not.... haiz....... now i wish he's back in my tummy...... hahah how ironic....... and there i was just 3 days before the birth grumbling and grumbling and grumbling abt how boring it was, how no life it was with a huge tummy and lazing around at home......... now i'm SO DAMN TIRED CAN!!!........ omg...... arghh.... how i wished i've delayed it awhile and enjoyed the baby-in-tummy feeling for awhile more.......
well........ haiz......... i can't turn back the time now can I? here goes my not-much-of-a-birth story:
On 21st Nov
1pm: appointment at gynae's clinic... checked my weight and nurse was surprised at my 1kg weight loss..... gynae checked the baby and was surprised that the baby didn't gain any weight as well...... gynae checked if umbilica cord was wrapped around the baby's neck, but it wasn't.... gynae mentioned she could only check if it's around the neck and it is always possible that the cord might be around the tummy or any parts of the body, causing distress to the baby which she can't detect, hence, causing distress to the baby.... she also mentioned that it doesn't make any difference now if the bb was inside or outside my tummy since he is already of weight, in fact, going to be overweight if i were to wait and it'll be difficult to "push" the baby out....
she asked if i wanted to induce labor, and if i wanted, i could induce on that very day.... i told her i needed to think about it first cos i wasn't prepared at all.... meanwhile she put me on a "contractions" scanner for 20 mins to see if i was having painless contractions....
1.20pm: after thinking through and discussing with the hubby, decided to go ahead to induce
1.25pm: pill was inserted and the gynae mentioned i was already 2cm dilated and she was going to help me by "massaging" to make me dilate more.... rather painful when she massaged and when she inserted the pill.... saw quite a lot of blood on her gloves... bleah....
1.35pm: gynae asked me to ward in immediately to delivery suite... i was like "huh, so fast?!" i asked if i could go home and take my stuff, she said i can get the hubby to do that.... then i insisted on going home cos i still have some things that i haven't packed in and i wanted to BATH until i shuang if not it'll be 1 mth of restrictions.... i also needed to eat... gynae relented and asked me to be back by 3pm
2.15pm: reached home after packeting chicken rice home.... felt abit of contractions here and there but wasn't too sure if it was contractions....
3.30pm: hahah was late and could already feel some contractions, but wasn't too painful... checked in at the delivery suite while the hubby did admission stuff downstairs..... nurse gave me a gown to change... was shocked to see blood while changing... nurse said it's normal..... nurse inserted something into my arse hahah to make me shit everything out..... in case when we start pushing, the *ahem* comes out along with the baby and it'll be damn disgusting......
4.15pm: hubby still not back yet, kept asking nurse to see if there's anyone wearing red loitering outside cos hubby dono where's my delivery ward..... felt big contractions now... but still irregular....
4.30pm: hubby finally arrived and irritated me by sitting quite far away and i couldnt' grab his hand when painful contractions came.... forced him to sit nearer....
5pm: think should be around that time i started msging the world that i was in the hospital going to deliver soon.... by that time already felt quite big contractions and couldn't really concentrate on msging.... was msging secretly too cos phones weren't allowed...
5.15pm; nurse came in and gave me drips.....told me it was to induce the labor, make it faster.... the stupid nurse couldn't find my vein and kept poking the needle into my poor arm..... then she got another nurse and finally they got it in.....
6plus: started feeling SUPER big contractions..... asked for "laughing gas".... it only relieved awhile... but better than nothing..... was quite keen on not getting epidural at all.....
7plus: couldn't take the contractions anymore..... asked for "thigh jab" as pain reliever... was told it only relieves 40% of pain..... i asked the nurse to go ahead.... found it funny though that the nurse din ask me to go for epidural instead and do away with the jab.... but i din care, cos i was STILL keen on going epidural-less....
8plus: was grabbing hubby's hands everytime contractions came, and breathing DAMN hard into the gas.... hubby kept irritating me by sayin "eh dont breathe too much dont breathe too much, not very good" u know, when u are in pain and they say this kinda thing, seriously DAMN IRRITATING...... couldn't take it anymore and asked for epidural.... the nurse suddenly told me "u are already 7 cm dilated! dont go for epidural waste money!" good god, i was in so much pain i really couldn't care less.... gynae came in and broke my water....
9plus: the epidural doctor finally came..... asked me to breathe hard into the gas and asked hubby to grab me hard to prevent me from moving when contractions come and when he's poking the thick needle into my spine..... it was one of the worst moments...... contractions were DAMN PAINFUL...... i was having a hard time trying not to move... struggled abit while hubby pinned me down tightly....
10plus: gynae came and 2 other nurses came and started the pushing process.... now the hubby started to look and sound worried..... he kept talkin to me and kept giving me encouragements and just kept mumbling things i couldn't really catch.... by tat time the epidural already set in and i was still high from the gas.... and i could just feel i had to push.... it really just felt like going to the toilet to poo..... I AM SERIOUS.... i mean, tat's with the epidural ah.... i couldnt' feel alot of the pain by that time when i was pushing.... but i could hear ALOT of screaming from other delivery wards... omg.... so damn fucking scary..... throughout the pushing process i din even say a single word.....
all the while from i think 7 plus to 10 plus i din really talk at all i was just concentrating so damn hard everytime the contractions came..... but i remembered i was talking gibberish at some point cos the laughing gas made me high... hahaha... i think i kept saying "y still got water, y still got water" after my water bag broke for damn long still got water... then nurse kept saying it's normal....
best thing was, the hubby said "eh u like not painful at all leh, y need epidural" fuck man. i wasn't like "not painful at all" i was just concentrating hard and din even wanna talk and just closed my eyes all the way.... all the while when i was concentrating the stupid hubby was WATCHING TV and LAUGHING at the damn show..... tmd wang ba dan.... but i really couldn't be bothered cos i was really in too much pain....... but seriously towards the end i could feel that he got damn anxious..... he talked to me ALLL THE WAY through the pushing process, non-stop..... i think it's his way to try to "distract me from the pain"..... but the only thing i caught him say was "i see the head!!!" damn loudly.... and he kept looking down there.... and i kept wondering what it looked like down there.... hahahah must have been quite a sight..... suddenly see a head.... OMG cannot imagine......
then was the moment when the baby was out, everything waas a blur to me.... suddenly the baby was on me..... and the baby din even whimper din even cry at all, i was abit worried... i tot babies were supposed to cry when they are out?? the baby felt surprisingly heavy on my body..... and the first thing i looked out for when i was looking at the baby was his eyes.... hahaha cos i've been wondering since day 1 if the baby will have double eyelids.... then the gynae suddenly said "oh wow, so cute, got double eyelids!" and i saaw it, YES double eyelids.... COOL..... then the nurse grabbed him away from me and passed to the gynae.... hubby was then asked to cut the cord, and it felt strangely to me like he was snipping sausage i dont know why..... then the hubby suddenly said "eh dont have double eyelids leh" i was soooo disappointed... his double eyelids disappeared in a flash..... but was always told that babies' features change, so...we'll see how la...
then they carried the baby to a mat or something, then the baby started whimpering.... wasn't a loud cry though, just whimpering.... i was still worried cos i could hear from the other delivery wards the SUPER loud cries of the babies.... y my baby only whimper awhile then stop??? then i saw another funny sight..... the moment the baby was out... the hubby KEPT TALKING to the baby NON STOP........ and he kept pacing back and forth from my bed to where the baby was in a "mang zhang" way.... the nurse saw and told him "dont worry already, finish already, y u still so gan chiong".....
then while the gynae stitched me up, yes, stitch. she cut me. ouch. they brought the bb to dono where to measure and check him.... according to the hubby the nurse went "see ah, 1,2,3,4,5 fingers, 1,2,3,4,5 toes" blah blah....
hospital stay was SHIOK LIKE MAD........ served like a queen........... baby gets pushed to you whenever he needs a feed... and he is always so quiet and so guai and clean......... i had 7 meals a day.... had a comp which i din really use, shit...... and service just a button away......... haizzzZZz.... too bad my bb came out late at night so it was like wasted that i couldnt enjoy the first day.... and throughout my stay, my bb din cry at all!! just whimper whimper..... i kept telling everyone, eh why so weird he wont cry one........ TMD, i was DECEIVED........ just tat day when we reached home he cried like mad...... omg..... think the nurses have their way to soothe babies, which i really haven't learnt from them......... the nurses MADE IT LOOK SO DAMN EASY when they carried the baby, IN ONE HAND!!....... gosh....
okkkk that was a damn bloody long post.... shall stop here and post some pics on Jayden's birth-day that i din put on facebook.....
