Finally, our loooooong waited baby has arrived on the 16th October 2008. That's the day daddy & mummy are longing for. Daddy & mummy has been telling baby Jaiden every now and then to only come out to the world on the 16th October 2008. IT WORKS!!! Fetus education works!!
Labour process
I have started on MC from 13.10.2008 as my gynae told us that baby will be arriving anytime. On the 15.10.2008, before we go home from my dad's home, we went to Taman Segar for hokkien mee. While we were walking towards the car, my water bag burst! I felt a sudden rush of water for 3 times.
We rushed to the hospital and reached at 9pm. The nurses did all the necessary checks on me, which of course makes me very uncomfortable. Anyway, this is part of the process and I have to bear with it.
They asked my hubby to go home as the labour will not start so soon. He went back unwillingly at 10:45pm.
Time pass... and my contraction became more severe. As the nurses came for check-up, they told me that it was only a mild to moderate contraction. Hence, I have to wait... 1am... 2am... mild to moderate contraction. OMG!! I was thinking, how long more do I have to wait... 3am... ouch!! The pain became more severe. However, I'm not sure if it has now reaches the major contraction. Hence, I used the breathing technique to hold on to the pain meanwhile hoping that the process will end soon. On the other hand, I am asking myself, when will I be given the pain killer....4am... 5am... the pain was almost unbearable. The nurse came and asked how do I feel. I told her that the contraction is very painful. She quickly did a dialation check on me, and to her surprise, it was 8cm dialated. In a hurry, she demanded the other nurses to get prepared and send me to the delivery room. I quickly send hubby a short SMS to inform him about the status and asked him to come to the hospital.
5:15am, I was in the delivery room. Contraction continues... I took a 2nd look at the clock after 2 times of major contraction, and it was 5:20am!!! Gosh!! Only 5 minutes, and I had 2 major contraction. It was soooo painful. I was given the gas as one of the pain reliever. Hubby arrived at about 5:30am seeing me in pain. He can do nothing but to look at me in pain... using the gas, fingers holding it sooo tight until my nails turned purplish in colour. As contraction goes on, I felt an urge that the baby is pushing himself out. As the gynae is yet to arrive, I was a bit panic as I do not know how to control the baby from pushing. In pain, I told my hubby to tell the nurses that the baby is pushing himself out. The nurses came and asked me to push hard once the contraction begins. PUSH... PUSH... PUSH... It was extremely difficult. I have 2 things in mind: -
1) can I manage to push and deliver the baby?
2) I must push hardest possible, soonest possible, to end the process.
The gynae finally arrived. He asked me to push. Again, it was an unsuccessful attempt. He performed episotomy and said that the next contraction, I will be able to push the baby out. It's true! Next contraction, I used all my strength to push and finally.... I heard Jaiden's cry. The process has finally ended!!! And I have delivered a baby boy.
