9.25am - shave, insert fleet enema to clear bowel...gota run to washroom within mins...more of fluid gushes out...
9.40am - transfer to birth room...insert IV + Syntocin...contractions abt 5mins apart...to increase dose every 30 mins to increase contractions.
11.10am - dosage increase to 36...nurse ask if im scared cos she say bb seem excited?? contractions 3 mins apart....pain managable.
12.10am - dosage at abt 72...pain increasing...ask for ethanox (laughing gas) which dun realli help...feel very high...contractions 2 mins apart...vaguely heard dr woody around...say will be back lata and take care...
1pm - by now...too high on ethanox yet doesnt help relieve much on the pain (cant recall much at this point of time liaoz...all based on recounts from hb)....ask for pethidine which feels like forever....nurse does VE say abt 6-7cm dilated but bb still high up...can still recall asking hw much more shd the labour be? was told arga abt another 3hrs...
2+pm - very intense contractions...was feeling helpless and very strong urge to POO...was rest assured that it's natural cos bb pressing on rectum but dats the urge to push....if realli poo..will get assistance to clean up which is fine! cannot tahan anymore...request for epi...nurse check VE...say called gynae oreadi on the way....nothing mention abt epi (no yes or no)...shifted bed and prepare all necessary equipments in place (activate the incubator which let off a musical tune, how very sweet)... after wat feels like forever...midwife assist to try pushing while waiting for gynae to help bb move down birth canal...did a few pushes.
Finally woody arrive...try a few pushes but unsuccessful....2 midwifes helping to push bb in tummy downwards wif great force (machiam like pushing car to jump start)...was reminded by dr woody not pushing well..not pushing down there (think im just squirming my face with force only)....got the technique...feel episiotomy....can feel BB's head wif the right technique to push...
