I am finally well enough to blog... Yeah, I was not able to sit properly for the past three days because of the stitches. Anyway, I am well now and able to blog and pump milk at the same time.
Baby Clarisse EDD was on the 28th August, due to pain at my pelvic bone and sleepless nights, I have decided to go for an induction which Dr. Ravi gave me the choice of 27th or 30th. To me, the earlier the better, so I have decided to opt for induction to welcome the arrival of Baby Clarisse on the 27th August 2010.
27th August 2010
6.45am - Hubby and I left home with our Baby Bag and Necessities
7.10am - Arrived Hospital
7.30am - We headed straight to the Labour Ward, and we were sent to Ward No. 6.
7.45am - The midwife came in to got me changed and clear my bowel. Then, I was strapped with the Monitor to track Baby's Heartbeat and Contraction.
8.00am - Dr. Ravi came and inserted Oxytocin. He told me that it will take 45mins to take effect.
9.30am - Breakfast at the ward with Hubby. Hubby had the Nasi Lemak and I had the Bread with Butter.
10.00am - I did not feel the contraction but through the monitor, it shows there were mild contractions going on.
11.00am - Finally I felt the contraction but it was manageable with relaxing breathing. I put on some relaxing and meditation music to relax my mind. The midwife checked the dilation was only 4cm. GOSH....Before the oxytocin, I was actually 2cm dilated already. WHY SO SLOW?
12.00am - The contractions came stronger and stronger, and It was only 12noon. The midwife told us that the baby might come at 3pm by looking at the contraction. She asked me whether I need painkiller or not, but it was still manageable so I told her not yet. But she taught me how to use the Entonox and I didn't reject her because the contractions was actually quite distinct at that time.
12.30am - The actual pain came stronger, and I was not able to track how close is the contraction because I took every moment to relax when there was no contraction. Thanks to hubby, he was besides me supporting me, holding my hands, helping me to relax. Entonox was used eventually, hahaha...
12.45am - The sensation of ....errr ... passing motion plus the Contraction. It was painful enough that I actually called for the Midwife for Painkiller. But she said before she gave me the anesthetic, she needs to check my dilation first. After she checked, she told me that I was already 8cm dilated and no point giving me the anesthetic. She told me to use the Entonox, and she went out to call for the Doctor. I was thinking at that time, gosh, now is only 12.45am, I have 3 more hours to go if it goes according to the midwife prediction, otherwise it might even drag until 5pm. So how? Hubby helped me through the fast breathing (ACTUALLY the midwife saw us, and she told us this is the wrong method, we should do DEEP BREATHING..hahaha). True enough, when I did the "fast" breathing, I was actually using more strength as I grabbed hubby's hand tightly. But my pain tolerance had limited me from DEEP breathing. I tried but at the end, I had to use the ENTONOX to help on the Deep breathing. Hahahahaha...
1.00pm - Midwives and Nurses came in. They were preparing for the delivery. No jokes, Baby Clarisse is coming anytime soon. I don't have to wait for another 3 hours or 5 hours.
1.XXpm - Dr. Ravi came in, he broke my water bags first. Then, he waited for the contraction to come. Once it was here, the midwives and hubby started to shout PUSH PUSH PUSH... hahaha..then I realized that "oh, my baby is really coming" because I thought as Dr. Ravi broke the water bag, I still need to wait for another hour or so for the remaining 2cm dilation. But it was not the case!!! The second contraction came again, and people around me shouted PUSH PUSH PUSH...and I did. I could feel every sensation of how Baby Clarisse came out. I could feel her head pushing through then Dr Ravi Pulled her out quickily, and I could even feel Baby Clarisse's legs pushing out. Gosh.. This is a total different experience from Chloe. WHO SAID THE ANESTHETIC is useless. Hahaha... I finally understand that the differences between using PAINKILLER and NO PAINKILLER. I didn't have this much of sensation and feeling when I had Chloe. This time round, I felt everything and even the stitches.
Phew...finally my second princess came into my life on the 27th August 2010.
