My 3rd Labour Story

Hi All,

I'm back!!! lol...

Popped on 27th Jul. Supposed to be induced on 26th night but end up when I went there at 9pm, I was already having contractions and 4cm dilated.. hahahah
Baby's name is Josiah Elisiah Anandha, hahah. couldn't decide which one so end up writing both on BC.. hehehe.

Birth story pretty chop chop...

9pm: reached KK Delivery Suite to prepare for admission and do the necessary paper work for induction.Strapped on to CTG in Induction Room 3 while hub go do admission.Having slight contractions since 4pm after the Vaginal Swap doc did in the morning checkup but since it was very mild, I simply ignored it.. heheh

10:15pm, nurse did VE after seeing CTG graph and say that I'm already 4cm dilated and don't need to induce already. So I went (walked) to the delivery Room 16 which is nearby.

11:30pm: Requested for Epidural and informed them about my Scoliosis condition. Doc came to put me on drip and break water bag... Pain getting more and more intense. Breathed the "laughing" gas while doc tried to administer drip. Anaesthetist came and tried to locate my spine down my back.. ask me to sit up and put my feet on the chair then bend forward.Kept breathing in the gas, finally she found the right place to insert the needle. After epidural, could still feel the pain on my left side but still bearable.

12:45: Informed nurse that I have the feeling to push. Nurse and mid wife encourage me to push...Adter several pushes, Baby Josiah arrived in this world at 1plus am @ 3.19kg. Head Circumference: 34cm. Length: 48cm.
