Glenn's Paradise

I have minor contraction pain at 12am. I know my baby is practicing. I try to relax myself and sleep. Around 3 am. I wake up to toilet and I have felt the contraction pain more than before. I saw there are bloods coming out. I quickly bath myself and wake up hubby. By the time 3.30am, hubby sends me to TDMC. Over there, the nurse check my contraction timing, it's 4 minutes for every contraction. That time the nurse told me I only dilated 1.5cm and since my contraction is not so painful, she ask me to go back home.
After reach home, I already can't sleep because of the contraction pain. I lay at Gintell Massage Chair for the whole night and morning.
At 7.30am, I wake up hubby and ask him to buy me my favorite Mee Siam for my breakfast. After taking breakfast, I rest again. Blood still continue coming.
At around 10am, my friend calls me and asks me how my condition is. I told her that I have blood coming but the nurse told me to go back and rest at home. She advises me go to hospital immediately. I call my gynae, she told me to come to hospital immediately as well.
After reach there, the nurse check my contraction timing, it's still every 4 minutes pain. My gynae check the dilation for me this time, she said it's already 4cm. She will give me baby today. She breaking my water bag and ask the rest to prepare the necessary things. I suppose my baby will came on 20 September 2007. But no choice as my gynae already breaking my water bag and she said need to induce me. That is 11.30am, after induce, she expected I dilated faster like every hour 1cm. So by the time 5.30pm, I can expect my baby.
Time pass by, I found contraction more serious after induce. Hubby accompanies me in the labor room. I was very tension and can't relax myself. The midwife suggest me to take Epidural, I rejected. Then she gives me 1 jab of injection to calm me down.
Around 3pm, the contraction pain more heavy, I decided to take the gas in order to reduce it. At that time, I only dilated another 1cm, which is not like whatever doctor expected after induce. Time pass, 4.30pm, I totally in a difficult condition as I feel myself want to relieve the bowels, I start to practice pushing in order to release the pain. The midwife told me to hold the pain and cannot push as my pelvis not yet dilated wide enough. I have to bear the pain. I am very suffer this moment as I feel I want to relieve the bowels, which already come to the stage I can't control myself. I want to vapor out everything. My gynae came in and check me; I have dilated 6cm coming to 7cm. I pleased her to let me go to toilet. She told me if I really can't bear with it, then just vapor out everything on the bed. Immediately, I settle everything out. The nurse and midwife busy to clean me up. Gynae told me try to bear for the pain and do not push anymore as my pelvis bone already swelling. My baby's head is very near there, she don't want my baby's head swelling as well. Otherwise, I might need to go for Caesarean.
By the time 6pm, I really have a heavy contraction pain like want to relieve the bowels. They ask me to bear with it. That time, I surrender, I request Epidural. But, it's too late because I have dilated 8cm and I am in the tension condition. Therefore, I got no choice, bear with the pain (it's painful like you want to relieve the bowels).
My gynae came in to check me and asking me try to push when I was dilated 9cm. All nurses and midwife there are helping me to "push" out my baby. The condition in the labor room is like the stadium. You cheers for your favorite team.
Hubby is beside me to cheer me up as well. He did a good job to make me more motivated. Thanks a lot hubby. Finally, after trying so hard, I heard my baby's crying sound. There are hot liquid stuff came out. The midwife immediately put my baby on top of my tummy. I saw her, it was amazing. I totally forgot the survival time before she arrives. Her face and head are bloody. The nurse put in a tube to clean the dirt in her mouth. After that, they bring her to clean up.
I rest there and my gynae busy with her job to "sew" my wound. She told me well-done, because she has standby to send me in the operation room for Caesarean. Totally, she told me I lost 300ml blood, which is still manageable for me as it's just like I donate blood.
After baby has clean up, I told the nurse I want to breastfeed her. They bring her to me, and I try to breastfeed her on the bed. The nurse is helping me and I did it quite successfully for the 1st time. After everything has been done, I was send to ward and my baby was send to nursery. I told them to bring her to me as I will fully breastfeed her.
I was in the hospital for 2 days and after that discharged. Now I am busy with motherhood life. Start to learn baby's body language as well. Everything is fantastic and wonderful.
