Okie here are my birth story :
20th Jun
3pm to 6pm - Contractions started but I didnt bother to time it cos I'm too busy looking after Adelle
6pm - We went to parents house for father day dinner and I was too busy eating so never bothered to time contractions again. Thank God that we decided to celebrate on saturday and had pot luck @ my parents house instead cos i've been worrying that i may popped anytime over the weekend.
9pm - We reached home and felt contraction happen between 5-10 mins. I got a little worried n told hb and maid to standby
21st Jun
12am - I cannot tahan the pain liao cos I keeping getting lower backache. So i called gynae and he say wait for another 1-2 hrs then go hospital.
12.30am - I called my sis to come over my place to look after Adelle cos she was sleeping since 10pm.
1am - Sis reached and hubby changed diaper for Adelle then that was the begining of trouble! Adelle woke up and was looking for me. She refused to sleep unless i lie down nxt to her and hold her hands to sleep. She was never like that and when i attempt to sneak out, she will wake up n cry. This whole thing lasted till 3am.
3am - I cannot tahan the contractions anymore and Adelle still couldnt sleep and cry whenever i tried to sneak out. So i ended up crying with her cos it so painful until i want to cry too. Hubby came into the room and decided that all of us to go hospital instead since Adelle refuse to sleep.
3.30am - I checked in to delivery ward and took enema to clear bowels while my sis, hubby, niece and maid were outside entertaining Adelle until they knock her out at 5am.
5am - Contractions get closer and the nurse offered me gas. I asked for epi but stupid nurse say wait for gynae.
7.30am - Gynae came, check cervix abt 1.5 cm dilate and break waterbag. Green liquid came out and he told me cannot try natural as too dangerous for baby. I refused and tell him that i want to discuss with hubby. The senior nurse came in and tell me cannot try natural so better go c-sect. Midwife came in also and start telling me abt her personal story of green liquid affecting her baby brain cos she delivered her bb via natural birth. Then i get worried and decided to give in and sign the consent form reluntantly.
8am - Outside Operation theatre and the stupid automatic door got stuck! Wah really suay rite? Waited abt 10mins cos the nurse keep rekeying the password but not successful. *Faint* Then the nurse knock on the door and someone open the door finally
8.15am - They administer epi on me and then keep using the knife to poke at me to ask if i can feel sharp thing poking me. I told them yes so gynae waited for another 5-10 mins b4 the epi gets into me totally n hubby came in eventually.
8.30am - I heard baby cry and they start cleaning her up then passed to us to take our first family pic. The first thing when i saw baby Danelle was "Is that Adelle? OMG they looked so alike!!" Afterwhich hubby went with them to take bb weight n etc while i knock out liao and only awake when i reach my ward at 9+am. Can't recall what happen after hubby left. Guess i am either too tired (lack of sleep) or the epi is soooo strong that it become like GA??
9.20am - The nurses brought Danelle over to start breast feeding. Glad that she can suck well, seemed to b better than Adelle. :)
Well my birth plan of natural delivery for #2 has failed due to the green waterbag but I got no choice cos baby is distress... Haiz... :( Was quite upset abt it but if i have to risk my baby health to exchange for natural birth is never an option for me too so i rather go thr the "pain" of being cut than making my baby suffer in long term rite?
Okie, here are some pics to share :
