HI mommies ,
Congrats to those who had popped over the month end march till now..
Sorry for the delay on the birth story..
@ 3ish - 4pm i was sitting in office and suddenly i heard a pop sound coming from my bottom and felt the warm discharge. So i went to the loo and check then my panty liner was wet and thought i was just having discharge..then 2nd time i felt the warm discharge again, so i went to my hubby and said that something is coming. So we decided to call the gynae and the nurse asked me to head down to clinic and dun go back..
@5 pm i reached the clinic and nurse put me on ctg for 20mins to monitor the contraction and that was the first time i felt painful contraction but not too painful..it was just a bit of cramping feeling.
@5ish i went in to the room and doctor insert something in to my vaginal and check for dilation and showed me on the screen that my waterbag is leaking. So he allowed me to choose for admission now – i might give birth before 12 or admission at 12, might deliver the next day and also might have to go for c section if the waterbag water level is low.
@6pm decided to stay in hospital and asked my hubby to go back and collect my hospital bag and asked my helper to boil a hard boiled egg along with a bottle of chicken essence.
@@Gynae had told the nurse to give me epidural but i told the nurse, not so soon, i can still withstand the pain.. and she gave me a cup of milo and say that after this cup, no more food is allowed just in case i vomit after epidural.
@7pm Hubby came back with the bag and egg, that was the theory that one of my colleague had taught me one week before i gave birth, she said that i have to peel the hard boiled egg myself and egg the whole thing. Then the delivery would be fast and smooth( like how mother hen pops) So i decided to take the risk and pop the egg and the chicken essence( give me strength to push). Thank god i didn’t had any side effect for the epidural.
@830pm contraction getting more n more intensive.. i tried to ren n ren, when the contraction reaches 120++ thats when i throw in my towel and asked for hapi –idural. After the hapi dural, i was able to respond to my hubby and chatting with the nurses and update on fb and sms.
@930pm Nurse came in and checked, i was already 9cm dilated and immediately called my gynae down and say i am ready for childbirth and ask me to get ready..
@10pm Gynae came and i was ready to push and after 4 sets of 3 pushes, bb was out at 2222pm and the rest is just heaven and relieved! So the whole childbirth experience took me about 4hours ++ =)
Baby came @ 36weeks 3 days and happened to fall on my dad’s 1st year death anniversary. It is surely a date for me to remember and the joy that brings my sorrow away =)
Baby is not too big and she weight 2.7kg and 51cm. And we were discharge on 28th march 2010 Sunday together and went back for check on 30st march 2010 and baby jaundice was measured at 13 and doctor said to review again on Thursday and it went down to 11 ( my mum actually went to medical hall to get herbs to bathe her in yellow water and sun bathing does help)
Hope that it’s not too long a story, well i am glad that i took the egg =P
Well for now, i am just pumping out for her as i do not have the patience to latch her esp when she gets grouchy when she is hungry. So i pump about 50-70ml( the amount of milk actually depends on the intake of food and water) every 3hours. I pump till my nipple sore and sometimes my confinement lady does help me to use the manual pump and it really hurts! But for the health and goods of baby i have to do the job =) i do not know how long this pumping and latching on off will get but i will try and it helps having supportive hubby , family members and friends around to push you on =)
JIayou to all the Moo Moo Mommies =) WE can do it if we believe in our selves =)
May the rest of the mommies waiting to pop have a smooth delivery =)
